THIS & THAT
By Walter Wendan

I am happy to be able to start this column with the ad- vent of the Hartford Chronicle into the field of a tabloid pub lication. I am sure that this step toward expansion is but the beginning of very valu- able state force.
 I hope that no one will ex- pect this column to be very in volved because the writer is not an individual that is given to profound thinking. I hope my forte is simplicity of subject and treatment.
 And I cannot think of a bet ter way to start than to run series of comments about the art of getting along with people. It is technique that you need no matter what race or station in life you happen to belong to.
 Personally have always had the feeling that one way to get as much joy as possible out of life is to develop the habit of getting along with other people. If for no other than very self ish motive it is a good tonic, it helps your frame of mind as we'll as your digestive process.
 For instance, nothing is more abominable than an individual that somehow gets the impress ion that importance and ability is very closely associated with

checkers, basketball, volley ball and shower and steam rooms.
 The company's Red w Play house is in almost constant use for meetings, company shows, movies and general entertain ment.
 Negroes participate freely in clubhouse activities, and their talents in shows and minstrels have brought entertainment to both Negro and white audiences in the Playhouse.
 The success of the Winchester plan has brought comment from industrial leaders over the na- tion. The New York State War Council, in 1942, in it's publica- tion, "How Management Can Integrate Negroes in War h. dustries" included the Win chester plan in it's series of examples of successful integra tiOn.

 Speaking for the series spon- sors are eager to see that each member of the group gets the proper mention for faithful service, Mrs. Dorcas Douglas said that that the group hopes to encourage aspiring young Negro artists and to be in strumental in assuring them of group bookings in major Conn. cities eventually.
 Other members of the spon- soring group were: Nerrisa Tyler, Ethel Morgan, Rachel Baker, Symantha Miner, Gloria Liburd, Leonard Griffin and Leon Nelson.
 On Sunday, at the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church, a capacity gathering heard an Organ Recital by Van s. Whit ted, Mus. Bac., assisted by MT. Jasper Jackson, Organist and Bass soloist, respectively, of of the St. Marks Methodist Church, New York City.

SUCCESSFUL ANTICIPATION

close of World. War II. the Win chester Repeating Arms Com pany division of Olin Industrits, Inc., presents one of Connecti- cuts most successful peacetime programs of industrial Negro integration.
 Early in October of this year, the Winchester plant had four teen per cent, or six hundred and ninety. Negroes out of its employment total of apprOxi- mately five thousand. This is approximately the same per centage maintained during the peak of wartime employment.
 The integration is plant-wide including every department, from female clerical help in the general offices to work in the plant, where Negroes are en- gagged in the production of peacetime sporting arms and ammunition, flashlights, bat teries and roller skates.
 Such successful assimilation of Negroes into the Winchester employee total didn't just hap pen; it is the result of care fully developed integration pro- gram, initiated over ten years ago by Works Manager Thomas I. s. Boak and carried to its present success under his super vision.
 The Winchester plan has sue ceeded because the three main factors of the integration pro- gram have been consistently maintained over the years. The important factors are the favor able attitude of management :; active cooperation of foremen and other supervisors and the actions of the employees them selves in regard to conduct, ability and the desire to make good on the job.
 Winchester adheres strictly to it's policy of impartial treat ment of all employees, regard less of race, creed or color. This long-established policy applies to up-grading of employees and the handling of grievances as well.
 Careful job placement has been another factor in making the company's integration sue cessful. Workers are placed where their abilities appear to give them best possibilities for success. New placements are followed up and checked by Edward Coin, of the company $ personnel department, a Yale graduate of wide experience.
 A survey of jobs held by Negro men at Winchester range from highly skilled to unskilled Negro women are to be found principally as gaugers, inspec- tors, operators, file clerks and stenographers, much in the order of female white help ir the plant.
