Arizona Apprenticeship p
Council Enters Agreement
For 0n-the- Job Training

Apprenticeship in Arizona, is ex-
panding by leaps and bounds. AS
of this date, there are 176 estab-
lished apprenticeship programs with
approximately 1900 APPRENTICES,
there being $3.50 World War II
Veterans. On October 10, 1916, the
Arizona Apprenticeship Council
reached an agreement with the
Veterans institutional and On-the-
Job Training Council, whereby all
apprenticeable occupations which
have been certified by the Veter-
ans Institutional and On-the-Job
Training Council, will be referred
to the Arizona Apprenticeship
Council for establishing programs.
It was further agreed that if and
when apprenticeable occupations
were found by the Arizona Appren-
ticeship Council, not to have suf-
ficient equipment to guarantee di-
versified training in order to reach
master craftsman status, they
would be returned to the Veterans
Institutional and On-the-Job Train
ing Council.
Apprenticeship programs are
now established in the following
localities: Phoenix, Ajo, Tucson,
Bisbee, Douglas, Stafford, Morenci,
Prescott, Flagstaff, Miami and
Globe, and are working very sue
cessfully according to statement
made by John T. Douthit, Area
Supervisor, Apprentice Training
Service, U. S. Department of La
Dor.
In submitting a copy of the
agreement to the Labor Journal,

of the apprenticeship council

accomplish the aims set forth dur

Campaign Director.

We were the losers. But we also
made some gains in terms of exper
ience and friendships.
Experience demonstrated how
really INEXPERIENCED we are
politically. AS the returns continue
to come in with an indication that
we lost in all counties, we should
be convinced as never before, that
unioniSm is continuous selling
job-within Union Ranks. There
must have been sizeable gaps in our
own ranks to account for loss of all
counties-if such proves to be true.
We also learned that an effective
organization for political purposes
can not be built in five or six
weeks. It must develop slowly and
be planned on a permanent basis
not just to meet one crisis alone.
We learned that public relations
are important and this job can't be
done overnight. The education of
the public to sympathetic under
standing of the aims and purposes
of the labor movement is a job that
must never stop-election or not.
We learned who our real friends
were. BY real friends we mean
those with the courage to stand up
and declare their friendship. By
real friends we mean

Sunshine"
By Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. It's winter time in the val
ley of the sun, isn't it. But don't
you enjoy the beautiful sunshine
along about nine o'clock in the
morning, until about five o'clock
in the evening. Gee! but it is heav-
en- compared to the deep SHOWS and
cold winds they have back home.
I am sure you know what 1 mean,
when 1 say back home. We all were
not born and matched and raised
and reared here, you know. So
there had to be back home. Well,
well, well and well, did you vote?
Hope you did if you were eligible,
we were not, but if we had been
we would have sure voted for
Killroy. Now just who is this guy
and where is this guy Kilroy. In
politics would say he is the guy
who tries to live up to the prom
ises of "Now if I'm elected I'll do
so and so for you people, and so
and so for you "cullurd people"
and had "cullurd nanny, etc.
Blaa blaa, and when in office you
call on them you are given a job
as janitor or maid if given a job
at ALL Until this is abolished and
it maybe here, 1 don't know, let's
keep on loking for Kilroy. Do you
dig me.
I understand there was colored
girl who ran for County Recorder
of Maricopa County. Regardless of
the party she deserves credit for
her effort. It beats you and me,
we didn't have the nerve, did we?
Well, well and we'll. Let's talk
about something we the world is
crying for. Peace and just what
is peace. I wonder, the information
books says, it's state Of rest, calm
quiet and freedom from war. How
can we find this peace, and how
can we get this peace which we all
yarn for, we all desire, yet just at
the time we think we are about to
find it or secure it something ups
just out of a blue sky, so to speak,
and snatches it away from us.
Think of the soldier who was just
released from the army, happy
over the thought of returning home
to the folk; was stopped along the
bus route and had his eyes dug out
just because he refused to say Eyes
sir" to an officer in Carolina. Yet
he is lucky he wasn't killed, many
have been killed for Jess than that.
