 The service estimates today that more than a million workers move from farm to farm and state to state, "some travelling several hun. dred miles in year, following the crops"
 They nave virtually supplanted thehired man of old throughout the nation.
 The farm security administration points out that in the eastern half of the country several thousand migratory workers" follow the crops from Florida and the Gulf States to Michigan and New Jersey.
 At present, these nomads of the soil are converging on Florida for the new harvest season, where they will remain until late spring, har- vesting beans, celery, lettuce, to- matoes and other truck crops and citrus fruits in the flower state.
 By late spring, these groups will start moving northward again.

TRAINING SCHOOLS NEEDED FOR YOUTH
Nation Should Prepare Young Men, Women for Future Life

Establishment of training schools to prepare men and women for jobs in industry is one of the best solutions ofthe unemployment prob- lem, declared Carl A. Gray, chair man of the state unemployment commission, in an address to inem- bers of the Industrial Advertising and Marketing Council of the Na- tional Industrial Advertising asso- ciation at The Elton last night. MT. Gray, appearing as personal rep- resentative of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, spoke on the subject, "A Program of Industry in Helping 10 Solve the Employment Problem"
 E. V. Creagh, president of the council, discussed several phases of the subject of industrial advertis- ing. The meeting was attended by representatives of business firms in this state and western Massachu- sets. ~ ,1G
 MT. Gray described the training program held in Hartford, which was financed by private packers The training period made the stu- dents far better qualified to apply for work, he said. x
 The training school movement was originated by the American Legion to win jobs for men over 40, he said, but the basic principle was adapted to provide training for all those without jobs.

SALVATION ARMY
 LOSES OFFICIAL
Commissioner Gunpei Ya-
 manure of Tokyo, Japan, Is Dead

Adjutant Hugo Wiberg of the To- cal corps of The Salvation Army this morning received word that Commissioner Gunpei Yamamuro of Tokyo, Japan, has died. Commis- sioner Yamamuro was until recently territorial leader of the Army in Japan, and has lately, because of i'll health, acted in an advisory capa- city.
 Adjutant Wiberg knew the com- missioner intimately some years ago, when as boy he lived with his family in that country, where his father was stationed for 2 years on Army service. With his brother, the Adjutant played in the headquar- ters staff band, and received from Commissioner Yamauro when leav- ing Japan a small silver-cup, that had been presented to him by the Imperial Household as souvenir of some special event.
 Commissioner Yamamuro was born of humble peasant family in the north of Japan and came as 3 youth to Tokyo to seek an educa- ton. He endured indescribable pri- vations in order to accomplish his aims, and 1t was during this period of his life that he. was influenced by the message of the Salvation Army and eventually linked up with it. He rapidly advanced to a leading posi- ton in the organization, and was largely instrumental in persuading the government to enact stricter legislation to control the licensed quarters in the larger cities. He was also the author of several religious books, among them the Common Peoples Gospel, which was sold and distributed in millions of copies throughout the land.
 Major A. Edgar Arkett of divi- sional headquarters in Hartford this morning informed Adjutant Wiberg that additional news has come re- garding the alleged attempts on the part of the Japanese Government to put the Salvation Army under new control. Word from International Headquarters in London indicates that these changes harmonize with Salvation Army principles in adapt ing itself to national conditions. It further states that this change in control applies not only to the Army but to all religious organizations in Japan.

 HITLER MIGHT HAVE DICTATED PROVISIONS
 Germany and Russia have be- come closer combination than ever, thanks to the Finnish peace. Hitler himself might have written the provision for immediate con- struction of the railroad link with Sweden, for it will also be new link between Russia and Germany.
 Hitler, too, might have written the article linking Russia and Nor way via PetSamo. Here are new jobs for.

 These migratory groups likewise will return southward after the spring harvests to prepare for the early winter pickings.
 Other groups of wandering farm workers will be found similarly fil- lowing the harvests seasons on the West Coast, working northward toward Canada, then returning southward once more.
 Perhaps the once-prized regular farm hand has joined the new trend, but, at any rate, the exten- sion service reports, the modern farm nomad has brought virtual oblivion to the hired worker of the olden days.

What though you polish your hrassle And assemble your balls and tees, For 1t looks like no golf in Mudvile So you'd better go back to your skis. Youll not play golf for the present, And you're probably saying things not nice, But how're va going to sink put When the greens are covered with ice.

Georgetowns road toward a third
unbeaten season twists off on an
unpaved bypass to Boston town this
week and all eyes will be focused
on Fenway Park when the HoyaS
try to clip the Eagles unshorn wings.
If Jack Hagerty's brood gets over
this hurdle it still has a tough and
vengeful George Washington eleven
to tackle the following week, but
B. C. undoubtedly represents the
tallest barrier confronting the Hill
toppers and is the most important
business at hand.
Georgetown, incidentally, is not
only driving toward another clean
sweep on the gridiron, but possibly
an all-time record Back in 1921
Cornell started a streak that was
stretched into 26 consecutive vic
tories over four campaigns before
little Williams jolted the Big Red
off its lofty pedestal in the third
game of the 1924 campaign.
Between its loss to Maryland in

Can Match Terr0rs' Mark.
Now if Lou Ghecas & Co. take
their final exams in stride that will
extend the string to Is games and
put the Hoyas within striking dis
lance of Western Maryland's mark.
That 1913 tie with Syracuse will
make matching Cornell's splendid
record more difficult. It's a pretty
safe wager no modern team will ring
up as many consecutive victories
again.
Little has been heard concerning
the complexion of Georgetown's 1941
schedule, but if it follows the Gus
tomary pattern-an easy opener ano
fairly tough game the following
week-the team has a good chance
of surviving q games without defeat.
What will happen after that is
conjectural, although with Jack
Doolan and Frank Dornfeld re-
turning-not to mention Bill Nc
Laughlin, Jim Barrett and a few
other promising sophomores-it is
possible the team will keep right
on winning.
