Job Training
Campaign March
18th 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 a pleasing rate on the
basis of a 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;"

VICTORY
By Cpl. Chester Russell
Fight on, oh gallant comrades,
Fight on to Victory.
Forget the luxurious things we had
And fighting men we'll be.
Forget the tears, our lives we give,
Forget your loves behind,
Fight on so memories can live.
Let fighting hearts combine.
Let the Tramp, Tramp, Tramp of
a million feet,
Resound throughout the land
And on the sea our fighting fleet
Protect the fighting man.
Fight on till victory is won,
March on across the plain.
Let's sink the raging rising sun,
So peaceful days may reign.

WE SHALL LOVE FREEDOM MORE

Memory of Valley Forge must burn so low
That blood of heroes there shall seem
AS rouge upon the oftkissed lips of long ago.
They bartered life to follow up their dream
And may God grant no history shall ever teach
The red wet soil of Gettysburg rain clay,
Where Lincoln nodded words into immortal speech
And by sheer magic gave Freedom in one day.
The horn of plenty, pleasant seats in sun
Oft let US trust Freedom to the dove of peace
Until the rumbling ghosts of long forgot Verdun
Life moves round man 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 tomorrow
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 a star and flag through binding tears
Symbol of lad who never truly shirked a chore
A 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 Libertys great core
Which grow desert wastes and bloom to brotherhood
That we and all the world shall love this Freedom more
James T. Logan.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
Tuesday, February g

Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive under this configuration. The stars favor persons who have gained success more than those who are striving.
 HEART AND HOME: This is not lucky date for initiative of any sort. The signs on this date warn of illustration and disappointment It is time for planning rather than action. Women should conserve their energies. Overenthusiasm in the performance of new tasks may cause illnesses. This month will afford for girl workers many op- portunities to demonstrate physical fitness. Bad weather will add to health hazards at time when every day lost in production means much to the nation. This is not lucky date for romance. Masculine minds will concentrate on war activities that prompt caution in acquiring dependents.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Food ration ing will take on novel limitations at this time when meat eaters are ac- quiring taste for unusual diets. Again interest will focus upon cook ing, as recipes for strange varia- tions of old-fashioned dishes be- come popular. Through. necessary fasting health is to be improved in families hitherto accustomed to ex- travagance in daily menus. Govern ment propaganda will contain bills of fare instead of boosts for Admin istration policies.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Italy is to be spared dreaded air raids after widespread destruction has been accomplished, the seers foretell. Rome and Venice are to survive, owing to intervention by the Pope or to the influence of growing strength among adherents of Free Italy movements. Mussolini, whose death before the close of the war has been predicted, is to be re- moved from his high place by pop ular uprising, according to for eign astrologer
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of advance ment. The young should be espec- ially fortunate. Men in uniform should be fairly lucky. Children born on this day pro- bably will be kindly, independent and popular They may be extreme ! ly patriotic, talented and successful. Copyright, 1943)

 This Army force, under the command of Major General Alexander Patch, already has demonstrated its mettle ip the assignment. In fact, it was the Army which recently stormed and took the last Japanese position which really menaced American control of Henderson Field, the Mount Austen Ridge
