The work camps and community service units will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. In the United States, the campers will help build recreational and community facilities in such parts of the country as the slum area of Richmond, Calif.; the cotton fields of southeast Missouri; and among the Indian tribes of Wisconsin.
In Mexico, A.F.S. committee volunteers will work in villages conducting handicraft programs, working in medical clinics, and building schools.
The A.F.S. committee will send approximately 60 persons to participate in work camps in all countries of Europe. The campers will help the people in war-devestated villages and cities, rebuild homes, schools, community centers, and playgrounds.
Details about these projects may be obtained from the American Friends Service committee, 20 South 12th street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Jewelry Club Hears KC Representative
Opportunities are plentiful in the jewelry business, Anthony Lohmeyer, representative of the Green Jewelry company, Kansas City, Mo. old the Jewelry club recently.
The past war is the main reason, we explained. Expert workers were employed to cut dies and do other technical work; some of them are still working on such projects.
Training is another reason, he said.
Twelve years of learning is needed
before a die worker is an expert.
Mr. Lohmeyer talked briefly about the departments of the company and the type of work done in each section. Although platinum workers are usually considered the most important he believes repair men are "top" because they must be able to fix jewelry without damaging the original object.
After the speech he answered individual questions of the club members. Robert Harrison, president of the club, introduced the speaker.

Dean Carr Endorses WSSF Campaign
A deluge of birthday cards at each campus office greeted Mrs. Josie Lee McGhee, campus mail carrier, Tuesday, while she was performing her everyday duties.
Across From Lindley
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, endorsed the World Student Service Fund today while commenting on the donation drive being made this week.
Surprised at receiving so many birthday congratulations, she remarked. "Yes, I'm afraid it's the beginning of another year for me."
Mrs. McGhee Gets Cards
"The World Student Service fund organization on this campus is leading the way by spirit, example, and sacrifice of time to give a practical example of brotherhood." Dean Carr said. "Knowledge usually means the ability to think and do right. Give your dollar to the W.S.S.F. to provide opportunity for knowledge for the less fortunate foreign student," he said.
Mrs. McGhee, who has collected mail from every campus office twice a day for six years, apologized because she hadn't yet read all the cards.
"I've been so busy today I just haven't had time," she explained. Pointing to the unfinished work, she remarked that an eight hour day was unusual.
"I usually get here before 7 a.m. and sometimes I come up after supper. It's not really work, though; it's fun. I don't know how I can ever thank them all, but I'm certainly glad to be able to work with them they really cooperate," she added.

Mrs. Eunice W. Mecaskey, chapter president, said the scholarship will be $250. It is for members of the sorority, out of school and actively engaged in some type of journalistic work, who live within a radius of 150 miles of Kansas City.
