FAIR; WARNING There comes at this time a warning concerning the employment situation at the New York World's Fair. There will be very few jobs for the young boys who come from all points of the country, hoping to get employment. Of course there will be openings for soda counter clerks, hotel page boys and so on, but there are more than enough unemployed youths in the Metropolitan area to take care of these openings.

The barest living expenses during the Fair will be from $12 to $15 a week. For a boy who will not heed these words of wisdom, it is advised that a chap should bring enough money for one month of job seeking, and fare back home! cleaning implements in order and laundering the cloths for window-washing and the cleaning of the woodwork.

Numerous U. S. humanitarian groups and individuals in the last few months have been trying to line up this country with other nations who have already opened their doors to a limited number of German child refugees. First major steps in this direction was taken last month; in Congress, the Wagner-Rogers bill was introduced, a bill which would admit up to 10,000 German children aged 14 and under in 1939 and the same number in 1940. Last week, the second step had been taken.

Announced by Clarence Pickett, executive secretary of a Quaker organization, the American Friends Service Committee of Philadelphia, the step was the creation of a Non-Sectarian Committee for German Refugee Children, whose co-chairmen are outstanding Catholic, Jewish and Protestant laymen and clerics. Importance of this step, said Pickett, lay in the fact that if and when the Wagner-Rogers bill is passed the committee will find homes for the children approximately 50 per cent of whom are Jewish, the rest Catholic and Pro One of the most valuable lessons to learn, is the difference between enough and too much. When a bank fails, it is headline news. What doesn't make the headlines is the immensely important fact that only a microscopically small proportion of failures result in any loss to bank depositors. In the overwhelming majority of instances, the assets of closed banks plus assessments made against the stockholders, are more than sufficient to pay off all deposits.

And today, with practically all banks carrying Federal deposit insurance on all accounts "up to $5,000, the chance of loss to depositors is so remote as to be hardly worth consideringsome 98 per cent of depositors are covered by this insurance.

Major objective of this plan will be to place the young refugees in foster homes of their own faith and to prevent their concentration in large cities or on the eastern seaboard. They will not become public charges, Pickett explained, because the committee already has "guarantees of adequate financial backing." Since in trc duction of the Wagner-Rogers bill, the question has been raised as to whether 20,000 children could be separated from their parents within the next two years.
