Kennell-EUis Speaker Pictures Work of Students Soroptimists Volunteer Services To Assist in Mileage Rationing Program At their meeting in the Pelican party room Thursday noon the members of the Soroptlmist club voted one hundred per cent to volunteer their services for the vast amount of clerical work that will be required In the recapitulation of the appli cations of motorists which the government is calling for in connection with mileage rationing. Mrs. W. W. Southwell was appointed to serve as chair man to arrange a schedule of hours to be worked by each member, so that each evening a few could participate, thus avoiding duplication of effort. but making available to the board some assistance during the' time such volunteer help may be necessary.

Mrs. Sally " Lewis, Vocational coordinator at the Klamath Union high school, told in a capable and entertaining way, about these youngsters who are giving up the extra time, that they might be devoting to extra-curricular activities, to work afternoons and Saturdays, attending their classes only :'. the forenoon. Due to the fact that Mrs. Lewis joined the staff late and classes were already organ- ized, not as many students were able to rearrange their course of study to include the vocational program as could have been handled had this course been available when programs were first set- up. However, she has a class of , twenty-seven and has now .placed all but two of these girls, practically all of whom are reported as giving entire satisfaction to their employers, and she stated that the' girls were pleased and thrilled with the opportunities thus pre sented. The procedure followed by Mrs. Lewi is to make a per sonal call upon an employer who is requesting help, thus learning directly the type of work to be performed, the duties, the time assistance is required, and the type of per son wanted for the pUce to be filled. She then endeavors to select the proper person for such place but sends two or three girls to apply, In order not only to give the employer a preference, but to establish competition between the girls, which teaches, them how to apply for the work rather than ' MISS JUDITH First birthdays are important In the eyes of Judith, one-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel A.

She later calls on the employer to see how her students are progressing and to aid in Iron ing out any difficulties or dif ferences that may occur in their adjustment. Mrs. Lewis expressed her appreciation for the coopera tive spirit of the employers, stressing the fact that the girls were young and Inexperienced and were being sent out faster than they had anticipated and so were not yet as well trained as she would like, but stating that, due to the urgent need for them, the employers were carrying on the necessary training and thus the girls were learning while working. Sho welcomed suggestions and asked for the cooperation of the business women in appear ing before her classes to give talks, stating that the relating of their first hand experiences would prove invaluable to her girls.
