NEW GIRL IN TOWN

said, well, I know we have no
openings now. Have you had
much work background"
She suggested I go to a House
committee or subcommittee,
where work is permanent
regardless of CongresSmen."
She was a girl who had come
to Washington after being re-
cruited for a job with the State
Department.
Il didn't like it." she recalled.
Then someone said, Go see
your Senator I came here and
they hired me. 1t doesn't al
ways happen that way"
She continued, Have you
tried the United States En-
ployment Service? 1 under
stand they get tips on jobs on
the Hill"
1 decided to take her sug-
gestion and rode across town
to the USES building. 1t wore
the gray, unpleasant look of a
homely high school 1 once knew.
While waiting to be inter-
viewed, I stared at the silent
faces of the jobleSs around me.
Teen-agers, clustered in a
group, looking scared. A girl
with frizzed hair chewed gum
fast and loud, remembered she
shouldn't do that, stopped for
a minute. started again. A man
snored. Another read a maga-
zine. Others talked earnestly
with interviewerS.
My name was called and I
walked to a kind, attractive
woman who read my back
ground and said she was sure
she could help me get a job. 1
told her l was interested in
working on the Hill.
Il have a friend over there.
If I could get you an interview
this afternoon, could you go
over?"
She was reaching for the
phone so I couldn't help telling
her who I was. She was very
cooperative and suggested I
stay and watch her interview
some girls.
Parties Job Offers
A plump, strawberry blond
with a turquoise dress and
eyes to match gently parried
every time a job was thrust
her way.
Now here's a job with an
insurance company :"
Il don't want no jobs with
insurance companies"
How about the Govern
ment?"
mo. I don't like the Gov
ernment. I don't want boss
breathing down my neck .
I'm goin' to be chbosy :"
Over coffee, the interviewer
sighed and said, I'm sure she
didn't want a job. I think she
just wants to claim unemploy-
ment."
Leaning back, she twirled her
spoon and told what it's like to
face the unemployed day after
day.
About Government girls:
Because the Civil Service jobs
are granted on the merit SyS-
tenn, most of the girls with
high grades 1 never see. The
average ones I talk to rarely
get above 70 or rs on their
tests.
IF a girl scored rs and is
neat and has a nice PERSONAL
ity, that should be figured in
the sum total and I can usual
ly get her a job. But many are
uneducated, uncultured, lack
poise and skills. For them you
have to-and want to-Work
twice as hard. In their limited
way they want something bet
ter.
Many are completely un-
aware of Washington life and
get into trouble. They are
scared and lonely but they do
not even know how to express
this to themselves. Some will
tell you their troubles i'm
mediately if they sense you Will
listen.

you're mad at yourself.
You are all too aware that
you could have done much
better than you did.
This idea of taking up golf
was due entirely to the
greenness of the grass of late.
HERE IN MID-AUGUST,
Washington's parks and
countryside are like the
Emerald Isle.
The weekend weather re-
minds the Rambler of the
day he attended the races at
Tralee.
There was a shower fol-
lowed by sunshine and a
rainbow. No wonder they are
able to have all their races on
the turf over there.
We haven't had the SUM-
shine and rainbows but we
sure have had the showers.
The Rambler had a talk
with Lyndon T. Rodgers.
Washington's new meteorol-
ogist.
He took over the first of
August and he has succeeded
in giving us unusual weather
since. He seems to be a mod
est man, given to under
statement. He forecast
chance of showers" Friday
night. The showers came so
frequently (the lulls were
hardly noticeable) that the
forecast was changed on
Sa aturda y to chance of
rain"
One of the papers report
ed that he has a Boston &C
cent from his 20 years resi-
dence in the Hub. This is
In error. A MidweSterner
doesn't acquire that accent
in 40 years residence in Bos-
ton.
Here Is the score as he
gave it. Over the week end
we had about an inch of
rain. At noon yesterday, the
total for August was 4 inches.
Historically, August is the
rainiest month in the year
in these parts. 1t also has
been the month of some dis
astrouS droughts.
o.
THE AUGUST AVERAGE
is Ats inches and this year
on August IS, halfway
through the month, we al
ready have 4 inches.
This is far from a record.
In 1928 we had 14.41 inches
in August, and in August,
1855, the month of hurri-
canes Connie and Diane, we
had 14.31 inches.
This month started with a
Sideswipe from hurricane
Brenda.
On way to enjoy these
green pastures is to motor
out in any direction. Per-
haps the rolling pastures of
Montgomery County, which
is a big portion of the Wash
ington milkshed, are the
luShest.
just as Ichabod Crane be-
gan thinking of roast young
pig with an apple in its
mouth as he surveyed the
business of Sleepy Hollow
on that famous fall evening,
you may have ideas of juicy
steaks as you watch the fat
White-faced Herefords and
black Aberdeen Angus graz
ing knee-deep in blue grass.
The farmers have had it
pretty good. The June
drought enabled them to
harvest their small grains
without loss. July and Au-
gust rainfall has enabled
the grasses and lespedeza
and corn to more than over
come the loss occasioned by
the drought.
The corn is high and the
ears are still growing.
Or you might motor west
through Virginia and across
the Blue Ridge into the
Shenandoah Valley. There
you will see trees burdened
by jumbo apples.
But the real way to enjoy
turf is to walk, to feel it's
spring under your feet. The
only unfenced walking on
green turf is to walk, to feel
its spring under your feet.
The only unfenced walking
on greenSward our modern
world affords is the golf links.
That's why the Rambler was
thinking of taking up golf.

Got Her a Job

Il remember a girl-scrubbed,
refined, bright, unmarried. She
was telling me about her back
ground and in a matter of min
uteS she said, OF course, I'm
keeping the baby She confided
in me, we got her a job and
she's happy now.
There was another girl.
Bright, but a bit of a beatnik.
I told her to dress neat, wear
white gloves-you know, the
whole uniform. She didn't get
the job. She did everything but
comb her hair.
Others are not scared. Some
are sassy. One wrote a letter
while 1 interviewed her. Some
have chips on their shoulders.
"As for the Hill, send only
the superior girl-skilled, dedi-
Gated, intelligent. When 1 do,
the very expert secretary can
expect to start at $4,000 a year;
the $3.50 typists, perhaps $40
or $50 a week.
Some of my applicants
decide they don't want to work
in the Government. They don t
think they can pass the test
or they don't want to become
little cogs. They get jobs in
private industry and, although
the pay scale depends entirely
on the organization, most try
to match Government pay"

Missoula Led by the all

TO break a losing streak that has
been a particular source OF frus-
tration for the past four seasons.
Saturday the Montana State
College Bobcats invade Dorm

zly-Bobcat football game.
O'Billovich, whom coach Ray

game early this week. "This is

mented Bobby-O. 81. think we
have a good chance to beat the
| Bobcats for the first time in five
season. And take it from me
the Grizzlies will be giving 100
| percent effort all the way"
Although O'Billovich didn't
mention it, a good share of the
pressure in this contest rests on
the shoulders of the 170-pound
quarterback from Butte. Bobby
is our sparkplug, and he's a darn
good one," jenkins says. A
quick glance at season statistics
will bear out the coach:
Bob has directed every Mon
tana touchdown drive this season.
Although he doesn't rank high
among Skyline pasSers, Bob's COM
bined running and passing efforts
this year are better than any
Montana quarterback in the past
live years. And to cap his all
around play, O'Billovich leads the
team in pass interruptions and is
third in tackles this season..

The history of American game
conservation has been marked by
many a bitterly-fought controver-
sy. But, for heat and lasting quail
ity, the Wrangle over our deer
herds is near the top. In some
states, a measure of order has
emerged from a weller of preju-

Fact, and economic interest.
The low point for deer in this
country was probably reached in
the first decade of the 1900's.
From an estimated low of one
half million whitetails in the
u. S deer numbers, both white
tail and mule deer, have climbed
sporadically to the present high
populations now enjoyed by
hunters.
During this period $4,000 and
the decade that followed, sports

concerned lest their maSs-produc-
