hundred and twenty-four were
taken to the Milford Memorial

them. Sixty were taken to Mrs.

take them, to the hospital in

the stamps were printed by

years ago introduced the eco

Since no designer is named,
the work presumably was
done by De La Rue artist.

Volunteers
For HWC'Win
Sullivan Praise

Because the Health and
Welfare Council Of the Ma
tional Capital Area can expert
ment, District Commissioner
Mark Sullivan, jr., told a group
of volunteers yesterday, he is
confident current complex
problems in time can be solved.
He addressed the council
orientation meeting for volun-
teers for all HWC Regional
Council members, delegates
and committees at the Calvary
Baptist Church, tbs Henry
street NV.
Mr.. Sullivan declared that
without the volunteers. the
District Government would not
be able to function as ef-
fectively as it now does.
The Commissioner quoted
Welfare Director Gerard Shea.
whom he termed one Of the
most dedicated and able public
officials, that II it were not for
the volunteers. he would have
to shut up shop.
The Commissioners said there
will have to be breakthroughs
to provide new techniques and
that these are much more likely
to be found by HWC agencies.
There is not too much room
for experimenting with tax dol
lars, Mr.. Sullivan asserted. He
said the District Government is
doing what it can for the poor,
sick and needy but that tax
dollars alone do not fill the
needs. He said volunteers do a
wonderful work in filling the
gap.
Frederick B. Lee, council
president. declared that the
goal Of the organization is to
develop new and useful citizens
in the community.
The fact that the Washing
ton area population is growing
at the rate of about 100000 a
year points up the increasing
need for central planning for
health, welfare and recreation,
Mr.. Lee said.
John Palmer, research direc-
tor of Arlington public schools,
told the gathering the recent
survey among youths on how
they would like to spend their
spare time contains gold which
if mined properly will produce
a better Metropolitan Area
worthy of our Nation"
Austin Kiplinger, chairman
Of the Membership Committee.
told the orientation group that
HWC expects to get about Sc
million to be allocated to the
agencies for which it is respon-
sible when the current United
