HARD-OF-HEARING JOB DRIVE BEGUN Local League Launches Campaign to Improve Opportunities for the Partially Deaf. The Washington League for the Hard of Hearing has launched a cam paign to Improve the opportunities of deaf people to obtain employment. It is part of a Nation-wide move ment conducted by the league'* na tional organization and is essentially a campaign of education on behalf of workers with a partial defect in hearing, in many cases those who are considered experts in their voca tions. The local campaign will be con duted by the Young People's Com mittee under supervision of a key worker, acting with an advisory com mittee composed of George R. Dick son, president; Mrs. Gertrude Hunt, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Harriet Montague. The committee, with other members of the league, will meet at the league's rooms, 1116 Vermont avenue, at 8 pm. June 16 to map campaign plans. In announcing the campaign the league said: "There have been many cases of either discrimination or an apparent prejudice against workers who are hard of hearing In most instances it has been found th^ these cases are not wholly intentional, but due largely to a lack of under standing in dealing with person* whose sense of hearing is less than normal."
