OCCUPATIONAL CLUBS
NOTABLE NEW GROWTH IN BRITAIN. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 10. The anual report of the National Council of Social Service describes the development of the work toward creating a new social order by means of various forms of communal activity. It is stated that the occupational club movement has become a permanent feature of the national life. Some 900 clubs for men and 550 for women have a membership of 100,000 men and 35,000 women, and the number of employed members is steadily rising.
In the first three months of 1938 approximately 22,000 classes for men and women were held. Great progress; has been made in providing community centres on new estates, , thus dealing with the social problems created in the past decade by the rapid housing of large masses of the population on estates on the outskirts of older cities.
