Job Training
Campaign March
Nth to 21st

The Education Committee of the
Minneapolis Urban League has des-
ignated the month of March for an
intensive job training campaign.
March Ia to 81 has been set by the
National Urban League for the An
nual Vocational Opportunity Cam
paign and the local group is plan
ming for special activities during
that week. However in view of the
widespread opportunities for job
training for both employed and I'M
employed men and women, the pro-
gram can be carried out more ex-
tensively on a months basis.
The Education Committee of the
Minneapolis League of which Miss
Katherine M. Kohler is chairman
has invited representatives of civic
organizations and various training
and placement agencies to serve
on the campaign sponsoring COM
mittee.
The number of Negro workers
securing war plant jobs continues
to increase at pleasing rate on the
basis of recent check by Chas. w.
Washington, Executive Secretary
of the Minneapolis League. More
and more of these workers are be-
ing placed by the United States
Employment Service as a result of
the recent war manpower agree
ment, signed by local employers, to
the effect that all workers should
be secured through this channel.
Competition for jobs in the post
war period will be mighty KEEN"
said Mr.. Washington. "The purpose
of our Campaign is to acquaint
every citizen of this community
with the existing training facilities
and to urge that they take advan-
tage of them. Training now for
skilled jobs is the best possible in
surance against unemployment
after the war"

WE SHALL LOVE FREEDOM MORE

Memory of Valley Forge must never burn so low,
That blood of heroes there shall ever
AS rouge upon the oft-kissed lips of long ago,
They bartered life to follow up their dream
And may God grant history shall teach
The red, wet soil of Gettysburg was rain clay
Where Lincoln nodded words into immortal speech,
And by sheer magic gave Freedom in day.
The horn of plenty pleasant seats in
Oft let us trust Freedom to the dove of peace
Until the rumblng ghosts of long-forgot Verdm
Remind us Freedom is not or held with
Life moves round Earth about the orb of day,
And writes unending circles of recurring sorrow,
In hacyon times against all words inveigh,
Yet all the dreaded past is wrapped within
But looking back years hence upon long, dark nights
Children, tucked under earth from wings that roar,
Crying for air. the vanished cheer of lights
God grant that they shall love this Freedom more.
Gazing at star and flag through binding tears,
Symbol of lad who truly shrked a chore,
mother knowing God is good, is torn by fears
Her son will pay that she may love Freedom more.
The young bride waiting in the warm, expectant glow
Of love- her feet uncertain the Threshold of new lore
Walking in two shadows that to grow and grow
She has the promise-she shall love Freedom more.
The hot deep sands of Africa are plotting blood
But there are fertile seeds in Liberty's great CORE
Which in desert wastes and bloom brotherhood
That and all the world shall love this Freedom more

SILVER QUEEN"
OPENS TONIGHT,
CAPITOL SCREEN

With George Brent as the gentle
man gambler, and Priscilla Lane
the charming and beautiful lady
gambler, Silver Queen" which is
due to open tonight at the Capitol
Theatre through United Artists re-
lease. is a portrayal of 1870 society
with all its wealth, its lavishness,
and its zest for life.
With her hair much curled and
piled high on her head in the COM
plicated hair-do's of the era, Pris-
ella plays the role of society
belle down to the tiny waistline
and the hustled gowns of rich fab
ric. Brent is the polished gentle
man with fine manners--notwith
standing his gambling proclivities
and his herman gusto.
In fact there's nothing sissyish
about Silver Queen" Priscilla is
a lady who can stand on her own
two feet, and she shows it too.
After the death of her millionaire
father-Eugcne Pallette-she sets
out to pay his debts through her
own money making efforts. These
efforts turn out to be card-playing,
but she makes not only a good-to-
look -at-gambler but a competent
cne-and raises the funds
Trouble comes in the form of
Bruce Cabot, the william of the
piece, to whom she entrusts this
money for her fathers creditors,
and who uses them for his own
purposes.
