Gives Parties
For Orphans
By BARBARA CLARK
Staff Writer
College students serve Lincoln
communities through the Red
Cross orphanage committee. This
committee, under the direction
of Marty Morrison, works with
children in Lincoln's four or
phanages. A variety of activities keeps
the youngsters busy. The coeds
teach them square dancing, sing
ing, handicrafts and sewing. Dur
ing the winter the youngsters
participate in indoor games di
rected by committee members.
EVERY CHILD loves a party,
so the saying goes, and the or
phanage committee provides
plenty of parties for the chil
dren at The Cedars, Whitehall,
Tabitha Home and St. Thomas
orphanages.
During each holiday a party,
complete with decorations, en
tertainment and refreshments is
given to the children by the or
phange committee. Party deco
rations .are planned and made
by the youngsters.
STORY HOUR sessions are al
ways a favorite with the chil
drenT The tots select stories and
listen attentively as the Red
Cross worker reads to them.
Not only can the children lis
ten to their favorite stories but
they can read them too. A chil
dren's "librariette" has been
started as the project for the
year. Books are obtained free
of charge from publishers of
children's books. The librariette
Is rapidly expanding and now
contains a variety of books from
'Cinderella" to "The Hunchback
of Notre Dame."
Future plans of the committee
Include Easter parties and out
door games plus regular activi
ties. Tentative plans are being
made to organize boys' sports
teams at the orphanages. '

Short Course
For Engineers
Nearly 100 consulting engi
neers have gathered at the Uni
versity for a short course of in
struction, sponsored by the tele
phone division of the Rural Elec
trification Association.
'Eleven REA officials from
.Washington, D. C, headed by
R. W. Lynn, technical super
visor of the Washington branch,
are on the program for the one
week discussion of the latest en
gineering advances in the field
of telephone communications.
INCLUDED in the program
will be a discussion of the sub
scriber carrier telephone system
now on trial in several REA sys
tems. It is the hope of the REA,
said Lynn, that this new system
will prove to be more economical
to operate and will give better
customer service than the one
in general use now.
Unlike the party line system,
the subscriber carrier method
gives one party service to as
many as eight customers on one
line.
