Uncle Sam Goes
Into Business Of
Baby-Sitting
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON. Uncle Sam
has gone into the baby-sitting
business. Units of the United
S.ates Employment Service
(USES) in various parts ol the
conntry are now registering and
classltying applicants lor oaDy
sitting, and the projects are re
ported a hrge success.
The USES classifies the Job at
"child monitoring" and goes on
to explain that a child monitor
could also be termed a bratter,
child nurse or part-time sitter."
The monitor is also dessrlbed as
"one who complies with any
reasonable request of a child."
In Johnstown, Pa., where the
project is sponsored by the Baby
sitters Advisory Council of
Greater Johnstown, in cooperation
with the USES, more than 100
'teen-age girls received B. S.
(Baby-Sitter) degrees after a
briefing course.
At Uniontown, Pa., the Penn
sylvania State Employment serv
ice conducts a course to teach
would-be sitters that "the baby
comes before the radio." The
plan was set up In conjunction
with the Fayette County chapter
of the Red Cross, the Uniontown
senior high school and local civic
groups. Instruction is given in
"attitudes and responsibilities, ac
cdent prevention and simple first
aid," and each sitter is equippeo
with a pamphlet of instructions
before taking a job.
In the capital the government's
, baby-sitter service, while stlli in
the organizational stage, is go
ing over with a bang. Mrs. Mil
dred Mitchell, supervisor of the
household unit of the local USES
says her office is "swamped with
requests." In addition to regis
tering applicants Mrs. Mitchell
sent out several thousand notices
announcing the service to mar
ried couples, picked from a Wash
ington social listing.
Mrs. Mitchell says she has listed
among baby-sitters those who can
mix a cooktail as well as change
a diaper, or those who can help
do a bit of housework while "sit
ting." She has persons to fill all
requirements. Her files show sit
ters ranging from 16 to 70 years
of age and of all nationalities. All
have references attesting to their
abilities, honesty, sobriety and de
penadibility. The prevailing wage here is i5
cents an hour glus car-fare. Mrs.
Mitchell says, however, that the
range is from 50 cents to $1 with
many folks only too willing to
pay more if they can get a good
sitter to mind Junior while they
take a spin on the capital merry-go-round.
Israel Defies United
Nations Plan For City
(By the Auoclated Preit)
Israel has moved to make
Jerusalem her permanent capital
in defiance of a United Nations
decision to internationalize the
holy city.
Some responsible diplomats at
Lake Success speculated that a
special spring session of the
United Nations Assembly would
be needed to deal with the
problem.
Israeli Prime Minister David
Ben Gurion said in a parliamen
tary speech that the transfer of
government offices .from ' Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem would be
speeded up. He said Israel had
always planned to make the holy
city its seat of operations. He
called it "Israel's eternal capital."
Ben Gurion and his personal staff
left for Jerusalem Wednesday.
At Lake Success the trustee
ship council has voted to proceed
with plans for trying to set up
the framework for an Interna
tional regime for Jerusalem.
Many diplomats said Israel was
presenting the U. N. with a fait
accompli (the deed done) and the
U. N. program looked impossible.

going to get his Christmas wish
a tombstone for his mother's
grave.

Several days ago, the young
sterwho lives in a trailor camp
with his father, an unemployed
laborer on relief decided to find
his mother's unmarked grave.
His search proved unsuccessful
Tuesday after he had enlisted the
aid of Police Chief Stanley C.
Zartman.
"Some day I'll have enough
money to buy a marker for my
mother's grave," Bobby tola
Zartman.
The police chief related the
story to a newspaper and the J.
E Gibbons company offered to
donate a tombstone, engrave it
and have it In place by Christmas.
Bobby examined the firm's
stock, passed by a number of or
nate stones and selected a two-bv-three
foot marker.
"I would like very much to
have that one," he said. "Now I
can find mother's grave and put
flowers on It."
Meanwhile, local merchants
promised Bobby's Christmas
would not be without gifts, includ
ing a permanent movie pass. And
Zartman said he was making ar
rangements to find Bobby a new
home "under different environment."
Be sure your match is out be
fore you toss it into wooded areas.
