Friends Offer Social Service Work Abroad

Opportunities to work in Europe and in the United States this summer with rehabilitation detachments of the American Friends Service Committee will be described tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock by Mrs. Robert Dodds, college secretary for the Quaker group, in the Phillips Brooks House parlor.

The FSC is looking for men from American colleges to undertake various relief projects which they hope will help maintain the peace. Already serving in these units are Richmond Miller '49, John B. Elliott '49, John Jones '47, and Hollis Wyman '43, all overseas in Europe at present.

Openings are available in the various branches of the committee for many different types of work. Some of the jobs offer a salary; among these are Institutional Service Units, which assist in the management of farm schools for delinquent teen-agers, a program which studies and works with the Co-op systems, and one which attacks industrial relations problems.

Help With Rehabilitation

The projects taking students overseas are on a volunteer basis. One group will travel to Mexico to assist public health and recreation agencies there, while other groups will cross the Atlantic to aid in rehabilitation in Finland, Italy, and France, a job undertaken by the Quakers after the last war as well as today.

There are two main groups which will tour the U.S. during the summer. They are the so-called "Peace Caravans" which will work with Quaker organizations throughout the country. Also in operation will be a series of race relations units. Opportunities to work in the field of race relations and other fields of social tensions are open in communities composed of various minority nationalities throughout the country.
