Institute To ENCOURAGE
Retention Of Negroes
In Postwar Area

MEMPHIS, Oct. 26 (ANP)-
An effort to both raise the stand
ard of efficiency among Negro
workers and to insure the retention
of jobs by Negroes both during and
following the war, is the purpose
of the ''institute," which Delta Sig
ma Theta sorority recently organ
lied.
According to the plan, monthly
institute will be conducted by the
sorority and will endeavor to in
doctrinate into the Negro worker,
the basis principles of efficiency,
cleanliness, cultural actions and re-
actions.
Already the organization has
contacted various white and Ne
gro employers, requesting that they
"appoint one or more of their Ne
gro workers to attend the institute
which will be held on the second
Tuesday night of each week."
Those attending the institute will
hear discussions on various topics
of Immediately Importance to work
ers. The institute leaders will fol-
low a two-fold agenda which will
discourage certain negative prac-
tees such as bad attitudes, dis
courteousness, unreliability, tardi-
ness, absenteeism, untidiness, slip
shod methods of doing the job loud
mouthed talking, and vulgarity,
while it will encourage wholesome
attitudes, u tes y, reliability,
promptness, presence every day on
the job, cleanliness and neatness.
Each worker will be instructed
to carry back to his employer and
his fellow workers a report of his
attendance at the institute, and
acquaint them with the treatment
of the principles discussed. An ad-
ded attraction of the institute will
be a dramatization of the subjects
discussed.

Save All Fats

American housewives ian have a more i'm
portant role in this war this year if they put
into practice the rule of letting no ounce of
fat escape.
There should be 10 need for a special and
widely publicized campaign to orum up sup
port. 1t ought to be CROUCH TO know, as
everybody does that fat is vital material
the necessary flow of the tools of war cannot
be maintained without it.
Nor should it be necessary to emphasize
that fat-hoarders are being given bonus in
the form of red ration stamps when they
deliver fats to the stores Of their choice. It
should not be necessary for anyone to be
paid for doing a duty.
And with the war nearing climax and
the glycerine obtainable from fats indisper-
sable to success in combat, it is obviously the
duty Of housewives to save and turn in every
drop OF drippings from their kitchens
The years need is estimated at 23O, O0O, 900
pounds. There can be no hope Of inpounding
this quantity if any household fails to con-
tribute its full share.
Wilmington has established enviable records
In all war-inspired campaigns. it has exceed
ed its goal in war bond drives, in scrap metal
and waste paper collections, in supporting the
Red Cross and the Community Chest. Surely
its people cannot be content with spelling the
record by failing to do its best in saving
fats, especially as they are SC essential to
victory.

Coping with juvenile delinquency must be

Let the authorities upon whom rests respon-

set up adequate machinery to assure its sue

templated but whatever the price it will be
small in comparison with the benefits to be
derived. A Maynard child started on the
road to good citizenship is worth any amount
of money and effort involved in the trans

steam or some other vapor as a
possibility. Rocket propulsion lis

further possibility in view which
may make rocket propulsion seem

HONOLULU. - Navy people are
full of talk about their Seabees,
or Construction Battalions. Every
body has his own Seabee story
All of them are suggestive Of men
with ingenuity, courage, and a
cocky indifference to tradition.
In no time at all-for this whole
business started after Pearl Har-
bor-the Seabees have become a
kind of pick-and-shovel M r n e

that comparison. In fact the Sea-
bees say that when the Marines
land the Seabees are on hand to
greet them.
There is much humorous rivalry
between the Marines and the Sea-
bees. At one post the Marines put
up a sign, "Seabees under SIS not
admitted. The next day Marines
faced a sign which said: ANY Ma.
rine with FOUR years service can
apply to be a junior Seabee."
Navy construction work, such as
the building of landing fields, docks
and shore defenses as at Wake
and Midway, was done b e or e
Pearl Harbor largely by private
contractors who hired their own
working forces. Now most of that
work is done by the enlisted men
of the Constructions Battalions.
They are mostly volunteers re-
cruited from various trades and
construction gangs.
One top Army mar inspecting
some of their work asked the Sea-
bee who vas running bulldozer

said he had been ir the Navy five
months but had been running a

The country has been stirred to more than
a teapot tempest by the statement attributed
to high official concerning the effect OF

President Roosevelt, so that if he did declare

There is another phase to the controversy,
however, which enlists public interest If Gen
