on AF - September 11, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 35 Variety of Jobs Sought by N. U. First Year Men This is a year of exceptional ac- cording to C. D. Norton, secretary of the Northwestern University "Y." There are more applicants for work today than there were a year ago at the same date, Mr. Norton states, and the sorts of labor the youngsters are seeking are extremely diverse. One young man wrote that he is more or less expert on the saxaphone, is able to improvise music, is a fairly good newspaper reporter, has had experi- ence as a soda fountain clerk, as a grocery and clothing store clerk, and is a fast short-hand man. "If an opening should occur along these lines before school opens," he writes Secretary Norton, "I shall ap- preciate your assistance in placing me." Three youngsters have written to the secretary that they play well on the pipe organ, the first college fresh- men with this distinction at North- western. Another lad has been sup- plying as a pastor for five months but is also an expert statistician and he wants a job in either capacity. A third applicant wants a job as either a typist or tutor. Still another wants to work for a press association be- cause of his experience, or to act as a telephone operator. A youth who is worried about educasonal expenses wants a job as a trap drummer, or as a general painter or as a railroad ticket office man. A Chicago boy com- ing to Northwestern says he wants a job as an electrician but would take an advertising job, in lieu of the other. One of the most attractive "pros- pects" Secretary Norton says is a young Japanese who, for five years, has been working his way through col- lege and is now coming to Northwest- ern to win a Ph. D. degree. He says: "I shall be glad to sweep rooms and would like to get into a good Christian American home so that I may know more of the way Americans live in the Middle West." This ambitious stu- dent got an M. A. degree from the University of Texas, last year. Miss Virginia Buchanan, L. L. Buchanan and Perry B. Buchanan, 591 Cherry street, have returned from a two months' stay at their cabin on Big Bass lake, Vilas county, Wis. BENEFIT FOR HOME Mrs. C.

Lasalle St. Main 0250 The Commonwealth N the American constitution its makers attained a two- fold achievement: they provided a central form of government equipped to perform national functions adequately, and they left to local governing bodies the responsibility of local affairs. The people's need, as manifest even in the nation's babyhood, determined this governmental structure. The Bell System is a similar division of responsibility, vi- sioned from a forecast of the nation's communication needs when the telephone was young. in service. The Associated Com- communities panies are specialists in local service problems, with local op- erating forces identified and fa- miliar with the needs of the they serve.
