Fire Hazards In
Public Places
BY MACK &. NANCE

Many of us read a few months
ago about two hundred Negroes be-
ing roasted in an old dilapidated
shack some where in Mississippi,
men, women and children were
stewed in the same pot. In many
cases, where Negroes are concern
ed, the requisite for public assem-
blage is not enforce
The safety of men, women and
children in public is highly up to
the community. There are many
precautions to be taken in public
assemblage to prevent major or
minor catastrophe by fire.
Two of the most important pre-
cautions are as follows: First, there
should be two Or more exits; Sec
ond, all doors should open out
wards, otherwise there will be a
jam.
If such precautions are strictly
adhered to, a recurrence OF what
happened in Mississippi will not be
duplicated

Junior College Students
Seek Job-Fittinq Courses

Defense activities in the Nation
have brought a shift in the type of
courses students are demanding in
Junior colleges, according to study
just completed at the Washington
office of the American Association of
Junior Colleges.
Data secured reveal that the
country's unusual situation has
made young people more "job-
minded" and more dissatisfied with
general, liberal arts courses, it was
said.
The study was undertaken pri-
marily to find out whether defense
had really caused decrease in en-
rollment as expected this fall in
the Nations $50 junior colleges.
Participating in the study were the
following Washington Junior COL
leges: Columbia Junior College,

Here again the answer lies in geog-

The Malay rubber plantations are
along the coast or near railroads in
the interior. The wild" rubber trees
in Brazil are scattered in forests far
up the Amazon; shipment to an
ocean port is a real problem. Sim
ilarly, Bolivia's tin is far in the in
terror, and the country has INSULT
cient smelters. At present Brazil
supplies only small fraction of the
worlds rubber, and Bolivia does not
begin to mine enough tin for the
American market. Since neither
product is perishable, and since ship
ment by ocean is cheap, the long

YOUNG KENNEDY TOBE NAVY PILOT
Son of Former Ambassa- dor to Britain Has A-
 ready Started Course

Quincy, Mass, July 16.--(UP)-- Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., namesake son of the former U. S. ambassador to Great Britain, arrived at Squan- tim air station today to begin Q year-long course by which he hopes to win the coveted wings of a navy airplane pilot.
 Wearing a broad grin, young Ken- nedy was greeted by officers who during the next ten days will in- struct him in navy discipline, give him ground schooling and 10 hours flying after which he will be ex- pected to fly "solo".
 Kennedy was given 6 physical ex- animation, issued flying clothes and toured the station with an officer as his guide. He was to make his first flight early tomorrow.
 After completing his course here, Kennedy will be sent for more in- tensive training either to Jackson vile, Fla, Corpus Christi, Texas, or Pensacola, Fla, for from eight months to year.
 Only last fall, Kennedy, who was to enter his senior year at Harvard law school, expressed himself as "unequivocally opposed" to convoy ing munitions and supplies to Sri tain. After obtaining first hand glimpses of war conditions while visiting his father in 1889, the youth told classmates 'tconvoys mean war and we will sacrifice everything by going in."
