up its machinery, installed In
stitute instructors. and then Sc
lected some very high type girls
and trained them. To get the
sort of workers the company
wanted, DR.. Parkes had to visit
homes and personally assure
parents that he would look after
their girls. When the company
began operations, he checked
constantly to see that all prom
ises were kept.
This was before war had end
ed the depression. The girls in
cluded many with excellent edu-
cations. They were to set the
tone of the-mill.- They did.
Though the plant eventually
employed between three and
four hundred girls, the IS select
ed and trained by the Institute
established an atmosphere in
which undesirable types did not
last long.
BY offering similar service
the Institute contributed sub
stantially to bringing here II
plants that after We day still
employed more than 5000 men
and women-almost one fourth
OF the city's total employment.
Nor does Institute service stop
with the original training pro-
gram.
I'm on the prowl for payroll
jobs to support the people OF
this community" DR.. Parkcs
told me. 1T is our standard
practise to know so much about
our industries that we have a
man in training for a new job
before the employer has recog-
nized the need for him.
For example, l might note
that Company A has five ma
chimes of certain type and only
five operators, of whom two or
three are getting old, or are in
poor health or in danger of the
draft. That was our cue TO get
hold OF such a machine and
train some men to operate it. so
that when the job opens up the
man was ready"
A prime difference between
DR.. Parkes' method and that of
most public technical schools is
that the Institute does not offer
set courses and then try to find
jobs for its graduates. First he
locates job, availa BILE or in i'm
mediate prospect; then the In
stitute trains a man or woman
for it.
1--WE don't intend TO refrain
anybody" he said, until we are
willing to stake our professional
reputation there is a job there
for him."
PRE-WAR ENTERPRISE
Long before war appeared on
the horizon the Institute was
demonstrating the appeal Of its
methods to industry. From
1893 to 1910, with its help, the
city brought in II new manu-
facturers who entirely used up
the 1,112,000 square feet of
empty factory space available
At the depth Of the depression.
When the war boom arrived,
following its established prac-
tiscs the Institute concentrated
on training local people, includ-
ing those from nearby villages
and farming areas.
As a result, when war pro-
duction stopped and local plants
began to return to civilian goods
fabrication, there were relative
ly few job-seekers for whom
work should not be available

mittee on Economic Develop

The Commissioners are on record
today as supporting the Summers

"The Commissioners believe that

actions of the people only through

THE inhabitants of the District
Of Columbia today must obey laws

the laws and levies the taxes.
THE population of the District

HOW LONG WARTIME CONTROLS?

The time when wartime controls can be lifted is more than ever the cause of discussions.
 The questions arise, how and when will they disappear. Will it be accom- pllshed Tn moment at the peace table, or how long will the period of transition be?
 Generally speaking, legislative author lty for most of the wartime controls ex- pires on fixed date, or at an earlier time, at the option of Congress. The OPA bill has an extended period now to June 30, 1946
 The present trend of thinking, among officials, is that the controls will be term mated sing ly as each situation according to district, approaches normal condi- ton of supply and demand
 In order to protect the future of the nation and it's position with respect to the rest of the world, careful planning, and solving of the transition problem must not be delayed
 A statement by the Advisory Board of the Office of War Mobilization and ReconVersion says Full employment can and will be attained here: it can be achieved under our system of free enter prise; and that our nation will be able in that way to help the needy abroad and

AIR PARCEL POST (NeW York TimeS)

A broad extension of the benefits of air express is proposed in bill creating airmail parcel post service, which is now before committee of the House of Rep resentatives. Exploratory ship m n ts made by the airlines have already dem- onstrated that it is feasible to carry per ishable products economically from farm to market in many areas. Airmail parcel post would carry such trade step fur ther by making possible fast movement of fresh vegetables, fruits and specialized products in small quantities for long dis tances, from even the smallest producer to the individual customer. This would materially expand the market already growing one, for specialized products of the farm and garden now marketed un- der brand names.
 Parcel post by air, in the reverse direc- tion, would enable the small-town dwell Ter and the farmer to order good supplies and repair parts from far-away market centers and receive them within hours rather than days or weeks. The shipment of seeds, small machinery parts, special ized drugs, crop and orchard spray ma- terialS, and the like, would be expedited Some 29,OO0,O00 persons living in 22,OOO towns and villages or on Rural Free De- livery mail routes would be the benefi- charles of such new service. One useful by-product would be to assure a still larger use of an expanded commercial air fleet after the war and the employ ment of the flying and ground personnel necessary to operate it. There would ap- pear to be every reason to authorize the extension of the benefits of airmail to parcel post at the appropriate time.

Adjusted Service Bonds Due June IS, 1945

Due June 15, 1945
 Secretary of the Treasury Mor- genthau today reminded veterans of the First World War who hold 3 percent Adjusted Service Bonds of l945, issued in payments of amounts due on Adjusted Service Certificates, that the bonds, which are dated June Is, 1886, will ma ture on June Is, 1945, when the face amount of the bonds and in terest for the full nine year period will be payable. The amount due on each bond is $63.5O, which in cludes $50 principal and $l3.50 interest.
 The bonds may be presented to any post office in the United States, where, after proper iden- tification, the requests for pay ment on the back of the bonds may be executed, that is, signed by the registered owner in the presence of the postmaster who will certify to the signature. The postmaster will issue a receipt for the bonds, and will forward them to the appropriate Federal Re- serve Bank for payment, without charge to the veteran. The bonds, of course, may be presented by owners direct to any Federal Re- serve Bank or Branch, or to the Treasurer of the United States. Washington, D.

Amendments to The Work. mems Compensation Law

tion about the proposed amend ments the the Workmen's Con- pensation Law:
 Proposed amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Law. Section 2161, ct seq. Compiled Laws Alaska, 1883, failed to pass both Houses. Therefore, the Workmen's Compensation law re- mains the same with only en- ployers hiring 5 or more persons coming under it.
 There has been a material change, however, in the Unem- ployment Compensation law, which was first enacted as Crap ter 4 of the Extraordinary Ses- sion Laws of Alaska, 1887. Here tofore, the employers first liabil- ity under the unemployment com pensation program was created by having 8 or more employees for some portion of time in 20 or more different weeks during the calendar year. The change, under the new Act, Chapt. 8, Session Laws Alaska, 1945, approved March 1, 1945, is as follows:
 The word employer" means:
 ''On and after July 1 l945, any employing unit which. for some portion of day, has or had in employment one or more individ- uals."
 Accordingly, after July 1, 1945, all employer employee relation ships will come under the Unem- ployment Compensation law ex- cept agricultural labor, domestic servants, and other exempted classes.
 In addition to the foregoing another charge appears in said New Act, under the head of ex- cluded employees, as follows:
 Casual labor not in the course of an employers trade or business Qabor which does not promote or advance the trade Or business of the employer. Temporary labor in the usual course of an employ CTS trade or business shall not be deemed to be casual labor"
 Incidentally, the original Act has been amended so many times that the average person couldn't help but get confused in reading same together with all of such amendments, and considering in cidental repeals of original DOT tions and repeals of early amend ments thereto. Accordingly the Unemployment Compens a t o n Commission is presently recom- piling the whole subject in pam phlet form and will soon distrib- ute same showing the Unemploy- ment Compensation Act as it now cfapdc
