CLEVELAND, o. (ANP) What
has been described as the most sig
nifieant forward step in recent years
TO get more jobs for Negro workers
and rescue them from economic serf-
dom was revealed here this week
when ii WAS learned that the state
of Ohio has made up its mind to see
what can be doue TO relieve unem-
ployment among Negroes.

Representative Chester Il, Gillespie,
Cleveland lawyer and civic leader,
Who finally succeeded in persuading
the state Republican administration
TO do something concrete and eifec-
tive about the deplorahle situation.
Accepting the Gillespie plan, state
officials agreed 10 hire four Negroes
in Cleveland two men and two
womI n and one man, one woman,
both colered. in six other Ohio cities,
their duty being TO call on leaders
Of business and industry, important
executives and utility officials, and
ask them to share their jobs with
Negroes.
The six other cities where the job
getting program will be started are
Akron, Cincinnati, Dayton, Golum-
bus, Toledo and Youngstown. Ne
groes employed to do this work will
not be primarily politicians, but
well-trained college people who can
put the Job over IN a vigorous man
ner. They will have offices in the
Ohio State Employment Service
branches now established in the
cities mentioned.

Heather and I'll live on the nets
until you show up with a boat load
Of meat"
1--WE may not get meat. Then
what good will that dust in the bags
do us? II we're going to get back,
we've got to have big cache of
grub stored up"
'Then we'll eat our DUST" laughed
the miner. "The salmon will show
soon, anyway"
But even If their fish racks above
the smoke fires had been heavy with
fat, sea-run salmon, Alan Cameron
would have gone into the bafrens
after deer. For that morning, as
he talked to Heather, he had made
a discovery. He had learned what
he had felt vaguely for weeks-that
Berthe was fast becoming a shad-
ow, something unreal, and that this
girl toward whom he had once felt
as an older brother had suddenly
become magnet to his senses. The
touch of her arms, that morning,
the nearness of her as she had said:
II guess I've lost my nerve and
everything else," had touched
depths within him Of which he had
been unconscious. It had left him
dazed, dazed at his calm accept
ance of the fact that Berthe seemed
