DEFENSE TRAINING

This department has already called
attention-several times-to the free
training courses in national defense
work, and has urged employable men
to register with the local National
Youth Administration or the State
Employment Office for classes in the
skilled occupations. For the free en-
glneerlng courses to be given in Cam
bridge and Boston during the summer
registration is at Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology and applications
must be in before June 7.
Although as a general rule preiu-
dice bars out colored labor, work on
portunities for colored men have
shown slight though encouraging in
crease during recent weeks in indus
tries which have received defense con-
tracts.
Training for the defense occupations
is vital phase of Grace" prepared
ness. Colored Americans must be
ready to fill any general demand for
skilled labor. That demand may come
haltlngly as more industrialists be-
come conscience-awakened and want
10 deal fairly, or as the skilled labor
shortage becomes more acute; and it
may come suddenly with the rush of
an avalanche as the flow of events
piles up the threat to American safety,
