munity of the job potentials within
the YWCA, Mrs. L. B. Walker
Jones, Executive Director, said.
Biggest need of the organization
is for health and physical educa-

this community who are interested
in careers in this field are urged
to contact Mrs. L. B. Jones or Mrs.
C. C. Mosley, for complete details.
The YWCA also has openings
throughout the United States for
young adult directors, for teen-age
program directors and some execu-
tixe directors, Mrs. Jones said.
Since we are part of this national
and world wide movement serving
more than 100000 women and
girls in the United States, we want
to have share in helping locate
young women who might be inter-
ested in YWCA posts, the local d.
rector pointed out.
Teen-age girls who are planning
to attend college may secure from
the local Association complete in
formation on the type of college
study that will help them to pre-
pare for jobs in the YWCA.
And these young women already
in college may also determine, with
the assistance of the local staff,
whether their planned courses of
study would prove helpful in gain
ing a post in the national organiza-
ton upon graduation.

explained, offers many opportuni-
