employers personnel interview
should be a two-way affair. How
ever, when there is a surplus Of
available labor, personnel work
ers with many applications before
them are apt to be critical Of the
applicant who inquiries about too
many details of the job. Here, ex-
IRENE tact must be used.
Job discomfort, one of the most
irritating problems of employee re-
lations, can often be successfully
eliminated from an employees ex-
perience through the process Of
good employment interview. The
applicant who accepts his job with
a full knowledge of his future re-
sponsibility to his employer, his
rights, his privileges and oppor-
tunity for advancement is usually
a satisfied worker.
Good Work Record Necessary
With the employment interview,
the required tests, if any, and
satisfactory health findings COM
plete, there is usually short wait
ing period during which the appli-
cant's references and former en-
ployers are either seen or COM
municated with. Sometimes the
character investigation and work
record of the applicant are in
vestigated before he is called in
for the employers interview.
Whichever the process, character
and work record will determine to a
greater extent than any other
factor whether or not the applicant
will be accepted for employment.
To the Negro worker who must
clear the hurdle of being racially
different, the value of turning in
a high level of job performance
cannot be too greatly stressed.
Fitting properly into ones employ
ment situation NOW is an invest
ment most likely to pay off during
postwar competition in Getting
the job"
The fifth installment of Getting
and Holding Your Job" will be de-
voted to the subject of "The New
Employee"

Physical Fitness Important
Certain physical requirements
such as height, weight, eyesight,
hearing and general physical fit
ness are important job qualifica-
lions considered by the employer
on a par with the applicants skills.
Regardless of his efficiency, work
err whose physical condition is a
liability is cheating" on the job
The worker is unable to give his
best services and, as result, prob
lens are more than likely to arise
which involve worker relationship
adaptation, production output, en-
ployee rating, etc. The applicant
should, therefore, be aware OF his
physical ability to perform the
duties of the job for which he ap-
plies. A previously known physical

discussed frankly with the pros
pective employer or the personnel
interviewer.
The employing firm may require
a statement from the applicants
physician or a pre-employment
physical examination at the direc-
ton of the firm. Any physical find
ing of a disqualifying nature should
be accepted by the applicant as an
opportunity to make needed cor
rection. The best health possible is
a Job qualification which every
applicant should present and a
requisite for which every employee
has the right to ask.
Employers Responsibility
Meeting the employment stand
ards of the employer is only part
of obtaining a satisfactory en-
plovment interview. 1t should not
be concluded that all of the re-

healthy work relationship rests on
the worker. The employing trm mas

Ideally, the employer should
acquaint the prospective employee
with the firms general standards
such as working conditions, operat'

which must be met to qualify tol
regular or permanent employment

days, sick leave, wages, increases

Harper Fights
Drain Bill
Asks legislatures
to Defect Plan

Drain Commissioner William
c. Harper this week addressed
appeals TO State Senator Ivan
A. Johnston and State Repre-
sentatives Otto Sherlock and
William Romano, Of this county,
asking their, united opposition
to efforts of Rep. Elton r. Eat
on to bring about changes in the
state drain laws which, Harper
claims, would wipe out this
county's elaborate draining pro-
gram in coming years.
Rep. Eaton's proposal, al
ready in the form of legisla-
tive bill. proposes that the sig
natures of more than half Of the
free holders in drainage dis
trict be required to sign the
drain petitions before a project
is initiated.
At the present time, Harper
points out, only five signatures
are required before proceedings
are commenced. This starts q
Board of Determination compos-
ed of three supervisors appoint
ed by the Probate Court, and
objections of freeholders are
heard by this board. Later, aft
err the engineering survey has
been made, the survey land con-
tract arrangements are publish
ed, fully informing freeholders
o the pending project. A hear
ing is also held for Directing
property owners.
In this way, Harper states,
the drain laws adequately pro-
tect even the smallest free
holder.
If Eaton's bill was made into
law, Harper asserts, persons liv-
ing on the lower end of drains
(the outlet) where most benefit
is obtained, would never be
able to obtain approval of so
per cent of property owners on
the upper end.

EAST DETRoITERS FIND:
Real Home Away from Home

Z EAST DETROIT Boys
from East Detroit stationed in
or near London, England, have
found a home where they are
always welcome and where the
door is never locked. Mrs. Will

Piper avenue, East Detroit, and
now of London, is acting as
hostess and father confessor for
the homesick service men from
this area.

Sergt. Charles Bradley, her

get to town. Sergt. Bradley
was so delighted with his re-
ception that he started 10 bring
his buddies and word gradually
spread that an old East Detroit
err lived in London, who well
coined all the home town boys.
Pfc. Charles Carver, of Rose
vile, writes of the New Years
party Mrs. Marshall staged for
the boys and everyone who was
free that night was royalty en-
tertained.
Mrs. Marshall has two Amer
ican-bor sons, Thomas and
William, who joined the United
States Army in London. Mrs.
Marshall writes, Il just never
lock the door any more be-
cause one of the East Detroit
boys might drop in"
Sergt. Charles Bradley, who
is stationed with the Medical
Corps in England, is the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Bradley, 24408

Field, Fla, is the subject OF a
highly laudatory story in the

four nights a week while on call
for all emergency obstetric cases

This division, which earned the
nickname "Rock Of the Marne''
because of its impregnable stand
in World War I, is the only Am.
erican division which fought the
Nazis on every front in Europe
North Africa, Sicily, Italy,
France and Germany. 1t had
more casualties-nearly $4,000
than any other division, and II
holds the record for high combat
citations, no fewer than 20 of its
officers and men having won the
Medal of Honor.
The Thirds first D-Day came
in 1912, when it spearheaded the
landing near Casablanca. The
divisions capture of Palermo,
after a D-Day landing in Sicily,
was sensational.
When the Anzio campaign was
launched, the Third again drew
the short straw" Its men
slashed ashore in the first wave,
and 1t was here that the Third
established the record for the
most casualties suffered in any
one day. In its first "a hours on

more than 1000 prisoners.
