City Clerks Urged To Promote Their City's Industrial Growth
The three-day session of the 15th Annual City Clerks School began in the Kansas Union yesterday for more than 80 officials from about 60 cities in the state.
After the welcoming address by George B. Smith, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Planning and Dean of University, William R. Yerkes opened the session with his talk on "Industrial Development in Kansas." Yerkes is the planning division director for the State Department of Economic Development, Topeka.
In spring a young man's fancy turns to love, but a young woman's turns to fashion. What better time is there to have KU's annual Best Dressed Girl contest than when the newest spring fashions appear?
Fashion Contest Signals Spring
The AWS Fashion Board sponsors the annual contest. Nancy Egy, Topeka senior and board chairman, has announced that the contest theme this year is "Swing Into Spring."
This year, four women from each large residence hall and two from small halls and sorority houses will enter the contest, Miss Egy said. Preliminary judging will be on Feb. 18 and 21. The winning coed will be chosen at the "Swing Into Spring" fashion show Feb. 25 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
STRESSING THE NEED for greater industrial development in Kansas and for lower bank interest rates, Yerkes said, "Unless the banker keeps his interest rates low, the industrialists are going to stay away." In this agricultural state the banker does not understand the exact needs and aims of the industrialist and hence does not understand his need for money at low interest rates. And it is here where the role of the city clerks needs to be stressed, Yerkes said.
Yerkes said, "You city clerks will have to decide whether you want your town to grow." Industrial development provides more jobs and opportunities for the members of the community, and the city clerks, in realizing the importance of this, should promote this growth. If they could convince the bankers to make available even three per cent of their surplus for industrial loans, an amount of 10 million dollars could be produced. Yerkes said.
The city clerks school is an annual event jointly sponsored by the Governmental Research Center and University Extension.
YERKES ALSO COMMENTED on the issuance of municipality bonds as a means for raising funds. According to the law, he said, municipalities can issue bonds, if they are satisfied that such an action would be in the interests of the community. Last year, he said, 16 such projects were undertaken, and over $14 million was raised through the issuance of municipal bonds.
THE PLANNING COMMITTEE for this year's program includes: Ethan P. Allen, director, Governmental Research Center; William H Cape, associate director, Governmental Research Center; Theodore Heim, training program coordinator, Governmental Research Center; J. U Adams, assistant manager, University Extension.
The first annual City Clerks School was conducted in 1950 to provide clerks with an opportunity to participate in a special course of instruction regarding the functions and problems of city government. Since the inception of the school, attendance by city clerks and others interested in local government has increased steadily.
Each year a planning committee, composed of members of the City Clerks Association and representatives of the sponsors develops the program for the School.
Some of the other issues to be discussed during the general session includes legislation affecting cities personnel procedures, human relations in the office, city election procedures.
The session concludes on Friday.

The Southern Pit
We've seen many new faces at the Pit since grades came out. The campus must be split. Half the students study first semester, half study second semester.
The new Pit Crew sweatshirts are finally here, including a new color—red. A Pit Crew sweatshirt entitles you to a big discount on the students' favorite beverage Friday and Saturday afternoons between noon and four, (example: halfquarts only 25c if you're wearing your sweatshirt).
Thoughts in passing — how many freshman women are blondes? Must be more than 50% of this year's class.
PIT PICK: This week the Pit crew honors Pam Banta, Delta Gamma.
