BOYS’ CLUB CUES
GAIN IN ACTIVITIES
20 Per Cent Increase in
Attendance During Sum
mer Is Reported.
A 30 per cent increase over last, year
In attendance in Boys’ Club of Wash
ington activities during the Summer
is registered in a report submitted by
Charles M. Pyfe, managing director
©f the club, it was learned today.
No comparison was made in con
nection with Georgetown Branch at
tendance as it has not been open in j
the Summer until this year.
The increase was spread throughout
ail the departments of the club, Pyfe !
stated in his report—athletics, recrea- ]
tion. education and camping—with a j
service total of 41.856.
The report carried a plea to Wash- :
ingtonians to ’’invest” contributions in j
the club with expected profits to be
a decrease in juvenile delinquency!
in the District.
“With a new, larger and better court ;
building going up across from the C :
street club,” Pyfe said, “one might i
think need for criminal action is in- j
creasing. If this is so, the best place
to check the trend is among our!
youth.”
Camp Reeder, tlje report stated, had
a record attendance of 336 campers
over the Summer and hope was ex
pressed this could be increased to 400 !
next year.
This would entail, Pyfe said, en- !
' largement of facilities with addition
of four new cabins to the six already
in use to provide sleeping quarters for I
100 boys and 10 counselors In each
two-week period, a new dining hall.1
improved sanitary accommodations
and an enlarged water storage tank.
The new Boys’ Club in Southeast is 1
rapidly nearing completion, the report
said.
BIGGERS TO COUNT !
W. P. A. MEN IDLE;
Agency Workers Declared Un
employed as Far as Census
Is Concerned.
Works Progress Administration :
workers are unemployed so far as '
John D. Biggers, chairman of the j
Federal jobless census, is concerned.
He made this plain this morning, a
day after his arrival in Washington, i
where he is quartered in an office of ,
two rooms in a far corner of the
Commerce Building.
Biggers said he was uncertain about
the exact date of launchiing his
census. The problem of what ques
tions to ask the jobless has not been
solved, but by December 1 the chair- j
man expects to have a list of pre- j1
liminary figures on the number of i
jobless, of unemployables, of par
tially employed and of those un
willing to work, covering the United
States, Alaska and Hawaii.
The Post Office Department will :
distribute the questionnaires from I
door to door, and the Census Bureau j
here will tabulate the returns. Be- j
cause the plans for the census have i
not yet been completed, the me
chanics of its conduct are as yet
uncertain. A large question in Big
bers’ mind is at what age a non
working youth becomes a member of
the army of unemployed.
Biggers expects by Monday night
to have the answers to many of his
problems after a White House con
ference with representatives of in
dustry. agriculture, labor and gov
ernment. The meeting begins at
2 p.m.
