Plan Training For
 Potential Foremen
Executives of 2S Industrial Concerns Discuss Educa.
 tional Program for Future Members at Meeting

Twenty. eight local industrial con- cerns were represented at Q meet ing of industrial executives at the Waterbury Y. M. O. A. yesterday noon. The purpose of the meeting was to consider how the industries might utilize to their best advantage the educational program of the Tn. dustrial Foremen's club of the Gen. tral Y. M. c. A. President Leon H. French of the Y. M. c. A. was chairman of the meeting. Brief talks were given by 0. Arthur Du- Bois, member of the National Y. M. c. A. Committee on Indus trial Service; William B. Mckenzie, president of the Industrial Fore. mems club; and Industrial Secre- tary Arthur L. Purinton. Additional comments were made by John B. Goss, Herman Rooster, J. A. Harry Peterson, David s. Hart, Hans W. Becrbaum and James P. Alderman.
 It was voted that the Board of Governors of the Industrial Fore mems club should draw up right away 6 plan of training for poten- tial foremen and submit 1t to the executive heads of the industries represented. It was felt that this program should be initiated at once rather than waiting until fall. The smaller companies, especially, will benefit from cooperative action, working through the agency of the Industrial Foremens club. Secre- tary Purinton promised to send sample copies Of the Supervision Magazine" which contains valuable educational material for industrial people. Arthur DuBols quoted Glenn L. Gardiner, New Jersey chairman of the Ofiice of Produc. ton Management as saying that "a community course for potential foremen is a most valuable way of strengthening the supervisory forces of defense industries.
