merican Friends Service Committee is now almost FAtwenty years of age. Jt is natural and fitting that those of UR who have been associated with it from its birth shovld incline to be reminiscent and to review the achievements of the past years. That work of report and appraisal will be in order as the twentieth anniversary comes 'round, But, as a preface to this Report, my mind turns now especially to the momentous things before us in that untraveled region beyond the narrow isthmus of the Present. We are highly resolved to make a positive contribution to the major business of the hour which is Peace-making. We are looking forward to a new adventure of love and friendehip in an attempt to minister te the Spanish children who are being ground between the miZlstone~of War. We see gtretch- ing before us an ever expandhg work in helping rehabilitate those who have been victims of a breakdown of civilization in areas of conflict in our own country, And we pmpoSe to send out to other lands ambassadors of good will to interpret a way and spirit of life that seems to us of universal significance.

URING the first calendar year of its organization, the Social-Industrial Section has not been concerned pci- marilv with making pronouncements on what shorrld be done to correct social or industrial ills. It has directed its energy toward the development of projects which embody belief in the efficiency of brotherhood and good will as fundamental factors in bringing about social change and the establish- ment of a better social order. Two hundred and fifty-eight young people worked during the summer under the direction of the Section. Their experiences brought them a new sense of the essential injustice and demoralizing influence of many phases of our industrial life. With these experiences have come a new dedication of their lives to bring about social change by human understanding and good will, exercised in the spirit of non -violence, Throughout the year there has been keen interest in the meetings of the Section. An average of fifty persons, young and old, have met together once a month to plan and con- ~iderthe work carried on by four sub-committees: Personnel and Placement, Camp, Rehabilitation, Clothing. These meetings which begin at 5 P,M, and extend through the evening are in themselves a valuable educational process.
PERSONNEL AND PLACEMENT COMMITTEE Many young people are recognizing thc positive value of good wiIl to correct social ill# and are earnestly seeking for light and experience which will deepen their own faith in thc forces of non-violence. The work program of a Summer Volunteer is planned with these interests in view. The opportunitirs for summer work opened up by the Per- sonnel and Placement Committw rnable students to gain experience in a strata of society usually known to them only through reading. Summer Volunteer Workers, 1936
During the summer 68 volunteer workpr~RP~YP~ in twenty institu- tions located in eleven states. They hailed from CaIifornia to Maine, and south as far as Uorth Carolina. They worked in detention homes, migrant work centers, hralth camps, settlement houses, camps for under-privileged children, Indian rcscrvations, mining towns, negro schods, reform schools and rural communities. With few exceptions, the workers were placed so that they might be accessible for group meetings during thc summer, Wolunteers in the Philadelph'la area met together in August at the Germantom Boys' Club Vacation TTouse, Ocean City, N. J., for a week-end conference. A four-day general conference for the Yolunteers was held at Pendle Hill in June; of the 68 workers, 55 attended. The Conference hoped to achieve among the workers: (I) a sense of fellowship with each other and with the American Friends Service Committee: (2) a more workable philosophy concerning the present 50Cial order and trende toward change; (3) an understanding of the conditions under which Summer Tol~mteeremust work, giving consideration to the techniques of group work. The leadws participating in the PendIe Bill conference were: Herbert Bergstrom, Howard Branson, Henry Cadbury, Mark Dawher, David Elkinton, Margaret fTatold, Tilliam T. Harris, Patrick MaIin, Esther hlcMillan, Hom~rL. Morris, James Mullin, Clarence Pjckett, Roger Russell, Leslie Shaffer, John C. Smith, Do~~glasSteere, Miriam Wilson, Mildred Young, Kilmer Young.

One hundred and ninety campers were enrolled. This represented a sub- stantial expansion of the camp program in contrast to that of the previous summer when four camp8 were held and eighty-four campers participated. Increased interest among students and educatore, together with special contributions made particular17 for aupport of the camp progcam, seemed amply to justify this expansion.
The Work Camp hfl8m, 1936 Volunteer Work Camps are designed (I) to provide an opportunity for young people, particularlyof college age, to obtain first-hand kaowl- edge of difficult ~ocialand industrial probIems by working in conflict areas; (2) to enable students to explore the possibilities of social change by non-violent means; (3) to perform Rome worthwhile job of real social significance as a moral alternative to military service. The program of each camp was based upon geven or eight hours a day of hard physical work, followed by discussion of the particular social and economic probIems of the community. The campers not only donated their labor, but insofar as possible paid their own living expenses. In all the camps, living conditions were quite primitive, meals were simple, and the work was shared by all the group. In addition to dis- cussion leaderahip provided bp the campers, directors, and many local and regional people, further leadership was given by Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, Chairman of the TVA, John Edelman, Research Director of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers, Rufus Jones, Grover Clark, Thornae E. Jones, President of Fisk University, Edward C. M. Richards, Chief Forester of the TVA, K. Brooke Anderson, of Brown University, William Noble and Karlin Capper-Johnson of England, Gordon Graves of Purdue University, It. P. Marlzy of Ann Arbor, Mich., Chase Conover of Pacific ColIege (Oregon), and by staff members of the American Friends Service Committee. Included among the 190 campcrs were. 115 men and 75 women. Eight campers were negroes, and seven were students from foreign countries. Gemany, Italy, and Czechoslovakia were represented, and in two camps ardent pro-Fascist6 worked side by side with political ref- ugees.The studentacame from one hundred differentechmls andcolleges. Barvard, Yale, Smith, Vassar, Amheret, Columbia, Mt. Holyoke, Swarthmora, Rennington, Howard, University of Chicago, Oberlin, Guilford and Earlham were among those institutions represented. Tennessee mountain Camps Two of thc srvw camps were in thc Tenn~ssr~Valley area. The Clinch River Caaip, near Tazwcll, was tlre largest. Here forty-three stt~dents under thc dirr-ctorship of Wilhclm and Maria ITl~bb~nof George School cons~rlicteda fish-rearing pool as part of a Kenncseer. Valiey Administration projcct far stocking Sorris Lake. Thc TVA provided the matcrials and technical skill. Evenings were spent discus~ingTVA problems such as flood and erosion control and thr so-called "pow~r yardstick5'; govcrnrncnt attempts to stimulate and regulatc indu~trial and economic life; problems of the coal industry, and those of the cooperative movement. The Comberland Camp, near Crossville, was located on the Cum- herland Ilornestead, a Resettl~mentAdministration project. This camp, for junior ho>s, wae directed by Fred and Sarah Swan of Rest- town School. The boy^ ronstmcted a grist mil1 for the homestcad community. Numero~lscontact6 with this pioneer community made for a stimulating summer.
Philadelphia Camps Two ofthe camps were located in Philadelphia. One, in the Kensington district, was hotrsed in the old Decatur mansion, in the center of thr: hosiery textile section. The campers completed the grading and leveling of a playground begun the previolrs summer, lo their study program the group centered largely on the relationship of organizcd labor to peaceful industrial charlgc. Herman and Dorothy Kciter of Chicago were the directors. The Bcdford Camp, located in a congested Italian and Negro distrirt, continued thc renovation of the Hedford Center buildings. ma?-nc and Marian Dorkhorn and lrerhrrt Hergstrorn, from the new staff of thc Ccnter, directed the camp. Thc gronp studled the function of the modern spttlcment, the manner in which it might work with the cooperative movement and the proble~nsof an inter-racial community.
Camps on Indian Reservations TWOof thc camps werc located on or near Tnrlian reservations. A senior camp was hcld at the nig Jim Indian Mission near hTorrnan, Oklahoma, directed by Pcrry and LeIah Kissick of Earlham College. It did some needed clam canstn~ctionfor erosion control. A junior girls' camp was held at the Friends" Tunesassa Indian School, near Quaker Dridge, N. Y. 3lert: the girls, under the direction of David and Mary Richic, renova~cdthe school buildings. Hoth camps studied the problems ol our Indian population.
Eight A Camp in the Coal Fields The seventh camp was held at Dillonvale, in the eastern Ohio coal fields. Here the students, under the leadership of Stanley and Marie Jlamilton, transformed what had been an unsightly city dilrnp heap into a wdl-equipped communitv playground. Living within thirty miles of Wheeling provided an excellent opportunity for practical study and experience of the problems of both the roal and ateel industries. % REHABILITATION COMMITTEE The increase in coal production is not resulting in proportionate increase in cmplopent. In many coal fields production is almost back to 1929 level but employment lags far behind. The increased mechanization of the mines means that coal is produced with le~s man-houm per ton. Even when coal production returns to the normal rate there will be, it is estimated, some 200,000 bituminolre coal miners who will be unable to secure employment in the mines. The re-training of the~epermanently dispIaced workere so that they can be removed from the relief rolls and become self-supporting conatitntes a national problem. To try to find ways and means to deal with this problem was one of the prime purposes of the AFSC under- taking child feeding work in the coal fields in 1931. Fayette County After a great deal of preliminary study and investigation, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was selected a%an area in which to develop a rehabilitation project, financed jointly by the Government, industry, private foundations and private agencies. Due to retrenchment in the reeettlement policy of the Government, finances from that source arc not available. It has been necessary, therefore, to attempt to finance the program entirely from industry and other private sources. Efforts are being made to secure a Rehabilitation Fund to carry out this pro- gram. It seemed wise to concentrate the rehabilitation program in one area. Errol and Mary Peckbarn have moved from Clearfield to Fayette County. Since August 1st Levinus Painter has been associated with Errol Peckham. The State Cdlege Rehabilitation Committee of the Faclllty which has been so lielpf~llduring the past four pease in advising on rehabilitation problems has continued to assist in wn- sideration of the Fayette County program. Carl and Martha Landis, members of the Mennonite Church, hare moved to Fayette County in order that they might share in the work. Martha Landis has organized work among the girls and mothers at the Orient Camp where they live. Robert and Dora Willson, who have been on the Service Committee staff, attempting to foster and develop cooperative features in the Tygart Valley Ilomestead commlmity, have now fully identified them- selves with the commi~nityon a homesteader hasia. This was in accordance with the plan originally proposed when thry went to the Tygart ValIey. Friends Health Sewice For the third year the Friends IIeaIth Service at Logan, V.Va., has assisted those in the cnmrnunity who have been unable to pay for private medical aid. Limited funda have made it necessary to restrict the service largclp to children. The extent of tbc services rendered during 1936 is indicated by the following: 1Tornes visited 1,289; physical examinations 59; casea hospitalized 18; operatione 17; dental eases and extraction 36; eye examination and glasses fitted 90; units of anti-toxin furnished 20,000; pintu of cod liver oil distributed 58; surgical dressings 59. In addition to this medical work thc IIeaIth Service distributed 10,597 garments, 20 quilts and blankets, 454 pair^ of shoes and 283 text books. The Iwal advisory hoard has assumed additional responsibility during the year in directing the activities and policies of thc service. They have conducted a drive for hnds among local business men, coal operators and miners. These contributions now largely support the work which continues under the able direction of Winnifr~dWay Wencke. Maternal Health CIinic A Maternal Irealth Clinic has been organized in connection with the Logan Health Service. An initial contribution was made bv Dr. Clarence GambIc of Philadelphia to employ a 11111-time nurse. The clinic is under the medical direction of Dr. Raymond Sqr~icrof the National Committee on Maternal Health. The Milbank Memorial Fund has made an appropriation to thc h-ational Committee on Matrrnal lXea1th to finance the project. The Logan County Medical Association ha# endorsed the work of the Clinic and has coopcrated fully in the program. As far as we know this is thc first Matcrnal ITealth Clinic to be organized in the coat ficlds. The scope of the work done the past year by Alice T. Beaman, the nus% in charge, is shown by the following: 22 specfa1 clinics at which 57 women werc admitted; 1,353 home visits with an additional 138 follow-up visits; 353 women enIisted in project. Friendly Advisers-Eastern Ohio The work of the Friendly Advisers in the Eastern Ohio coal fields under the auspices of the Coal Areas Committee, composed of reprrsrntatives of the AFSC and the Federal Council of Churches, gained ntw significance as a wsult of a conference of thirty local Ieadcrs in Wheeling in Octobcr. This conference was composed of representatives of labor, the Farm I HE Foreign Service Section of the American Friends T1 Service Committee had its origin in the desire of Friends to answer the question often raised iby those who were given relief during the days following the war: "Why did you come?" To put it another way: "What ia the spiritual root which springs forth in the flower of service?'' Paris Center In Paris there seems to be comparatively little connection between the work which iia done now and the reconstruction of devastated villages that took place immediately after the war. There has grown up, however, a smalI Frcnch YearIy Meeting. The staff of the Internation- al Secretariat makes a valued contribution to the life and work of the French Quaker group. The service reported a year ago for German refugees has continued through a aeparate ofice established for that purpose. There are etill upwards of 2,000 refugees in Paris. At the present time about 400 persons are administered to by our office. The International Student Club, which has been a long-standing service of the Paris Center, continues chiefly under the leadership of a French Friend, Roland Asaathiany. Plans are now under way for a eeries of lectures to be given in French universities during he spring of 1937 by President WilIiam Wistar Comfort of Haverford College. Henry van Etten, a French member of the International Secretariat staff, is arranging for these lectures and will accompany the lecturer on his tours. Mahlon Harvey, who was heme for a visit in 1935, has found his refreshed connection with American oil a peat advantage to him. It has resulted in his giving a great many lectures in France on matters of social and political interest in the Unitcd States. The particularly acute economic and political tension in France, augmented by the tragic civil war in Spain, has caused our Center to feel peculiar need for a deepening of the quality of life of those associat- ed with the French service at this time. Berlin Center Early in 1936 Albert P. and Anne Haines Martin and their son Richard went to Germany to represent the American Friends Service Committee. Thirteen Dlrring the summer Corder and Gwcn Catchpool and tIicir famil?; rrtired from thc? work of tlre Cmtcr and returncd to England. Mar- garpt Collyer, an English Frirnil, has also joinrd the staff in Berlin. Also thc Mary Camphcll Fellowship Award was pircn far thc academic year 1936-37 to Barbara Cary, who is studying at thc Universi~yof R~rlinand s~ndrringsome s~rvircat the International Secretariat oficc. This has rncant an entire change in thc staff in Rcrlin. The new staff, liow~ver,is carving out for irsclf a s~rviceof spiritual consola- tion, interpretation and help, which seems to bc deeply apprrciatcd by German Friends and those ontside the rnernh~rshi~in the Society of Friend&. Arrangcmcnts havr been made for thc trannfcr of firnds raid within Germany for rrlief of Gcrman rl~ildrcnliving in the bor- der provinces in Cxecho~lovakia,where thr ~lncrnployrnentand rrlief rate is high and proper food is scarce. It is hopcd this service of under- standing and reconciliation map be continued. Vienna Center This Center is still carrying on relief made necessary by the civil war of Fchnrary, 1934. Funds in reduccd amounts are still: supplied hy the Int~mationa!Federation of Trade Unions. At the present timc about 250 families are lwing givrn assistance and it is proposed that relief will be continued on a rcdnicetF 1ev~Ithrough 1937. The Forum, the studmts' clubs, the adult srhool, and the Friends hlceting for Wor- ship, have all continued their vital scrvice. A Work Camp, established at hlaricnthal, near Vienna, was organized from the Ccnter and provided opportunity for a number of English and American young people to work and Iivc togeth~rwith urrcrnployed textile workers, rrclairning farm lands for subsistence production and at the same time increasing friendliness ant1 understanding in the area, During the ilIncss of Elizahrth TTorsnailI, Louisa Jacob, formerIY of Nurnbcrg, Gcrmany, gave valuable assistance in the operation of the Hostel and the Center in Vienna. Emma Cadbury was homc for the first part of the year but rcturned to take lip her service early in thc spring months. Again the tense political life of Austria has becn reflected in the presented in our Center. To calcnlate the exact valne~of thefie Centers is impossible, but the quality of good wiIl lived out situations that arise in the Centers seems to warrant a belief that the thus cxpcnded will, out of the welter of political and economic strife, some hits of the ~pirit. Geneva Center The League of Nations has suffered severely from its ineffectiveness to prevent war during the current year, and what its f~itrlremay be no one can predict. The services of the International Labor Office and the technical services of various kinds within the League continue to be of lasting value. Also there is a deepening sense that the conception of international co-operation and law givcn form in the Leapc cannot be lost. But the period ahead is one of objective study based upon ~piritualconmrn for a true hapre of Nations. It may even be a more important time to have such skilled persons as Rertram Pickard representing ns at Geneva than it has been when the path seemed much clearer. Thirlking through the channels and devices for co-operation and, sti1I more important, maintaining the spirit which does away with the occasion for war is a service of moment during this readjust- ment period. Both through thc services of the Center and of the Student Hostel, which during the past year has been very fr~ll,this cffort at building for reconciliation and understanding has continued as an act of faith that what ought to be evcnt~~arlywill be. Aa this report goes to press, plans are under way for thc transfer of the Hostel and the Centcr to the Palais des Nations, formerly occupied by the League of Nations Secretariat. This move it is hoped will mark a ncw day in the effectiveness and value of onr service. Fellowships The Marp Campbell FelIowship for 1936-31 was awarded jointly to Barbara Cary and Caroline Brown, both graduates of Bryn .Maw College in 1936. Barbara Cary is now pursuing studies in the Univer- sity of Berlin and assisting in the Berlin InternationaI Secretariat. Caroline Brown is studying in the University of Munich. The MaryWilliams Fellowship for study and teaching at Ramallah, Palestine, has been awarded to Garnet Guild. Movement of Personnel Vivian Harvey of the Paris Center spent the snmmer at her home in the Unitrd States. Marp Gmdhue Cary made a bricf visit to Europe dtlring the early spring months of 1936. J,o~~isaM. Jacob returned to thc United States during the autumn of 1936 and is still in this country. Gilbert L. and Marga MacfiCIastcr have returned to make their permanent residence in Basle, Switzerland. Rugh Moore, an Associate Secretary ol the American Friends Service Committee, and Willard Jones, a rnemher of the Foreign Service Section, spent two months trav~lingin Europe, and par- ticularly visiting the Centem, during the fiummer. Charles and John Hollistcr visited the Berlin and Vienna Cent~rs and traveled extensively in hrope, including the Marientl~alWork Camp during the summer and autumn. The International School at Eerde, Holland Thie school is carried on largely through the help of English Friends. Dnring the past it has become almout self-supporting. It ia designed to provide snitable education for children of the high school and ele- mentary grades, both for those coming from Germany and those from elsewhere. It is hoped that it will be distinctly an international school, both in terms of students and staff. The student body numbers well over a hundred at the present time. Washington Student House Through a generous contribution for the purpose, a houee has been purchased in the city of Washington, D. C., to be maintained as en International Student EXoufie. This project i~ under the care of its own committee, appointed hy the Service Committee. The Ilo~rsewas opened at the beginning of the school year undcr the direction of Grace S. Lomy, and since has bcen filled to capacity almost contin- uously. It accommodates sixtern students and in addition provide^ for one or more transient guests. In the fall the student group consists of the following: one Polish, one Danish, two Japanese, one Italian, three Chinese, four Americans, one English, and one Bindu. The house is located at 1708 New Hampshire Avenue. PEACE SECTION HE Peace Section strives to apply to the world today the testimony held for nearly three hundred years by the Religious Society of Friends that Christianity and war are irreconcilable. Most of the resources of the Peace Section have been concentrated on long-term ed~zcationa'lprograms, through churches, schools and the press. During the year Ray and Babette Ncwcon were Ioaned by the Section to direct the activities of the Emergency Peace Campaign, launched as a two-year effort to help keep the United States from going to war. INSTITUTES OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Members came from forty-five out of the forty-eight states to the Institutes of International Relations which have show a steady growth in number and outreach since the first one was held at Jlaver- ford College in the eumrner of 1930. In 1936 ten Institlrtes were held in ~trategiceducational ccnters: Wellesley CoIlege...... WelIesley, Maes. Swarthmore ColIege...... Swarthrnore, Pa. Duke University...... Durham, N. C. Peabod College...... Nashville, Tenn. Northwestern Univer~ity...... Evanston, 111. CriuneIl College...... Grinnell, Towa Bethel College...... Newton, Kansas Whittier CoIlege...... Whittier, Calif. Mills College...... Oakland, Calif. Reed College...... Portland, Oregon The purpose of these Institutes is to train leadcrs to caqon peace education in their respective communities. The Enstitlrtes have been conducted in cooperation with the Congregational Council for Social Action and representative local committees in each area. heulty Nearly 300 men and women have served on the faculty since the ht Institute was organized seven years ago. Among the leaders from abroad this ?-ear were: Frederick W. &orwood, for seventeen years Minieter of the City Temple, London; John ErnIyn Williarn~,Central European correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor; T. X. KOO,Secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation and native of China; Y. Y. Tsu, Profe~~iorof Sociology, St. John's University, Shanghai; Toyohiko Kagawa, fampd Japanesc religious leader; and Pierre de Lanux, for ten )-pars the Director oE the League or Nations Office in Paris. Membership The wide o~~trracliof thc Institutes is indicated by the fact that regu- larly enrolled mcmbem were afliliatcd with 27 religions bodies. Therc wrre 372 tearhprs in public and private schools and colleges, 384 students in colleg~sand seminaries, 193 ministers, and people from at least 30 other occupations. Institute Firlarlces In addition to admini~trativepersonnel supplied by the Peace Section, S10,500 was raiscd and expended through the general Insti- tute account, an extra budgetary fund. This was matched with more than $29,000 rais~dlocally or practicallv three dollars for every dollar expended by the American Friends Service Committee. It is hoped that additional re~ourcescan hc found 80 that cventtially about 6fteen more Institutes can be organized in areas not now served. Then practically cvery person in the United States HHOIII~be within one day's travel of such a training program. Literature Nearly two thousand dollars' worth of books, pamphlets, poRters and material promoting World Peace was sold rither through rhe Insti- tutes or through the constant calls and letters which come to the Peace Section ofice. EMERGENCY PEACE CAMPAIGN The Emergency Prace Campaign was initiated by the Amrrican Friends Service Committee rrrith the cooperation of a number oE indi- viduals as an autonomous movrment to keep rht: United States from going to war. It has promoted a cooperative nation-wide drive ta this end and aims to achieve world pcace by: (1) strengthening pacific alternatives to armed conflict; (2) bringing about filldl political and economic changcs as are wsrntial to a jnst and peaceable world order; (3) recruiting and uniting in a d?.natnic rnovcmcnt all organizations and individuals who arc determined not to approve of or participate in war; (4) acquainting prace-minded people with the programs and policies of the mcrnber organizations of the National Peace Con- rercnce and other peace groups.

Jn addition to thcsc, an ablc staff translates and digests ~pecialrvports, oficial bulIt..tins, pr-riorlicals and source material in many languages. Fortnightlv releases are now going to the editors'ldesks of religious and labor papcrs, magazines and ncwspapcrs, with a paid circulation in excess of 10,600,000 subscribers. These releases are reprinted widely, not onlv in the United States, but in many other countries as welI. "World Events" has been increased to four pages, but retains its brief and punpent editorials, nrws itrms, book reviews, and eignificant cartoons which are eagerly read by the rapidly growing subscriber list, now numbering more than twenty-two thousand. The Trend of World Aflairs The Trend of Forid Aflairs, issued bi-weekly under the editorship of Lucy Meacharn Thurston, goes to editors of wcekly papers, teachers club leaders, and other individuals in the Middlc Atlantic States. A special kature is a page of children's news or an original children's atorp in addition to the general new of interest to peace lovers. This project is carried on jointly by the Cooperating Committee of the Baltimore YcarIy Meetings and the Peace Section. THE FELLOWSHIP COUNCIL HE Fellowship Council was created officially on Jan- uary 25-26, 1936. It is composed of sixty-five persone chosen at large by the American Friends Service Committee, representing as far as possible all branches and types of present-day Quakerism in America. The Council took over with greater authority the duties of the Fellowship Com- mittee which then ceased to exist. In effect, the Fellowship Council is a Central Meeting, acting as representative of a11 Friends in America. Four committees have been created by the Council to carry on the work. They are concerned with the welfare of Independent Meetings. the promotion of intervisitation of Friends, the Wider Quaker Fellowship and the effectiveness of Friends3publications. The Council also is concerned with a variety of minor activities. Independent Meetings As a Central Meeting, the FeIlowship Council is now prepared to recognize Independent Meetings aR established Monthly Meetings. The Independent Group at Cleveland became affiliated on September 13, 1936. Scveral other groups are expected to become afiliated shortly. Entervisitation Committee This Committee is engaged in encouraging visits between Friends. A special effort was made in 1936 to promote Quaker Tramps and a group of Friends was weIcorned at Corinth and Scdley, Va. The dates of a11 American and Canadian Yearly Meetings were printed on little folders and were widely distributed. Small grants of money for travel assistance were made in order to help encourage visits. In connection with the Friends' World Conference, a nl~mberof regional conferences are being planned for Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, Massachusetts, Indiana, Rhde Island, Maryland and Virginia. A large number of Friends from abroad will be helped in working out itineraries preceding and following the Conference. Appointments have been made with individual meetings, schools and calleges, regional conferences and Yearly Meetings.
