ORPHANS’ HOME |

POLICY BEFORE

COMMISSIONERS

Problems of Institution for Negroes Discussed at Conference.

The Marion County Commissioners were to meet today to outline

policies for the future conduct of 8

the Colored Orphans Home.

They conferred yesterday with

Juvenile Court Judge John Geckler §

and delegates of Negro civic or-| ganizations. Following the meeting. | Dow W. Vorhies, Commissioners, president, was offered the cooperation of the Marion County Welfare Board by Thomas Neal, Board head. Several delegates at the meeting voiced opposition to using the Jobs at the Home as places to be filled from political lists and asked that trained workers be employed. Informed by Mr. Vorhies that lack of finances prevented employment of high-salaried persons, the delegates said they would petition the County Council to increase the appropriation when the budgets are | made out this summer. Judze Geckler suggested that al fund be started by donations to im- | prove conditions at the Home, and | offered to donate $50 if it were| begun. He also urged organization | of a guild to work with those in | charge of the Home. Willing to Co-operate | Mr. Vorhies said, after talking | with Mr. Neal, that he was willing | to co-operate with the Welfare Board, but that he was opposed to | turning management of the Home | over to the Board. In the meeting, | he explained: “If we were to do | this, I would |

feel that it was an admission that we were unable to do the job properly, and I don’t feel that is true. If we had the neres- | sary finances we could run it as well as anyone.” John S. Newhouse, a Commissioner, said he felt politics should have no place in management of the | Home, that directing the lives of | children was too important a job to | be placed in the hands of politicians. |

A choir from Manual High School will provide music. Members and friends will be conveyed to the club grounds by a special bus leaving Monument Circle at 2 p. m. The group will assemble at the cabin at 2:30 and proceed to the new fireplace at the base of a hill on the club tract, where the dedication program will follow.

ASK MOVEMENT T0 AID F. D. R.

Indiana Young Democrats | Urge Co-operation With President.

The executive committee of the Young Democrats of Indiana today asked the authority of the Democratic State Committee to organize a “Co-operate With Roosevelt” campaign throughout Indiana. This authority was asked after the executive committee adopted a resolution wurg an educational campaign to give the people of Indiana a “truthful understanding of the recovery program and essential legislation.” “Recent insincere attacks against President Roosevelt indicate that there are groups which, for selfish reasons, are anxious to hamstring the President's program to put people back to work,” Robert Tilton, Young Democrats State president, said. Mr. Tilton said that under the | proposed program, genera! chairman | would be appointed in every county | and that aid would be sought from | the Democratic State Committee | and the party's women's organiza- | tions throughout the state.
