THERE'S A NOVEL plan afoot

of camp age are permitted to help
themselves attend camp thi: sum-

cent of their earnings telling soap
to their camp fee. The eweetly-
perfumed garden bouquet toilet
soap is neatly packed in box of
four and sells for SO cents. But,
it doesn't stop there. If boy is
really ambitious he may sell a
case of Is boxes for $500 and net
himself $3.50 or better yet, if he
hustlers and sells $4,000 worth of
soap, he nets himself $28.00 which
is enough to pay his entire ex-
penseS for the summer. Moses
Perry, YIN and camp director
! tells me that boys of the Miami
Beach and Coral Gables sectors
are earning their summer camp
fees, so why can't we? You don't
have to be poor to help yourself

AFL-C|0 Opens
Probe Into Row
In Bakery Union

The AFL-CIO Ethical Prac-
tices Committee takes a look to-
day at charges exchanged by tor
officials of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers Union.
The dispute involving James
g. Cross. union pr sident, and
George Stuart. vice president,
one one hand and Curtis r.
Sims. secretary treasurer, on the
other already has resulted in
suspension of Mr.. Sims.
Mr.. Sims touched off the bat
tie with an unsuccessful attempt
to have Mr.. Cross and Mr.. Stuart
fired on grounds of misconduct
and misuse of funds. Instead
the union executive board
cleared Mr.. Cross and Mr.
Stuart and suspended Sims or
undisclosed charges. The board
ordered trial for Mr.. Sims in
Miami Beach on March 81.
The Senate's special rackets
investigating committee also
has started an inquiry into the
conflict. 1t has issued subpoe-
mas for the three officers and for
union records.
Mr.. Sims appealed to AFL-CIO
President George Meany for con-
sideration of the case by the or
ganization's five-member Ethical
Practices Committee.
That group arranged to meet
in private and was expected to
decide whether to launch a full
scale investigation. 1t doesn't
have the power to remove any
union officials. but it can recon-
mend to the AFL-CIO Executive
Council that a union be "disaf-
f1liated."
Mr. Sims has charged Mr.
Cross diverted property of the
100 ,000-member union TO his
personal pleasures and uses,
that Mr.. Cross maintained an
intimate relationship with a
person of i'll fame and criminal
repute and record" and that he
also falsely denied" to the union
convention last October that he
had taken part in a San Fran
cisco hotel disorder that resulted
in a grand jury probe but no in
dictments.
Mr. Sims also alleged that Mr.
Cross and Mr. Stuart abused
their trusteeship Of local unions
for "unwarranted financial gain
and profit"

help overcome your fears. So all
you need to learn now are the
strokes used for swimming.
NV advice is to take the lessons.
not Just because your father wants
you to but for your own benefit.
Everybody should know how to
swim since it could save ones life
or that of another person.
If you don't learn to swim while
you have the opportunity, you will
regret it later if you attend beach
or pool parties and cannot enter
into water sports activities with
your friends.
