these defendants, IL in all, were ar

the precinct force to regulate the
sale of ice and protect the health
of the community. He said he hoped
the men would be penalized 'as a

are skilled in athletics and re-
creation can easily get good jobs,
especially those who fortify
their abilities with training and
ear teach as well as participate.
Another gaad employment field
for a career that has been making
strides is plant housekeeping. The
old practice was to have men and
women with a lot of brooms and
mops, but it is changing fast to a
science known as 'S~anitizing'. To
become a Sanitizer one has to
learn the skill. It calls for fewer
people to do the work, but for
those who learn, waes are good.
The Sanitizer cleans factories,
warehouses and private homes &
large places. He knows the art of
using cleaning materials and
equipment. He knows sanitation
and how to eliminate rats, roach
es and other pests.
Only a few years ago it was al
most unheard of to find a Negro
in one of the Nations large and

day they are teaching in twenty
five such institutions. Among
them are New York University,

Hunter, Harvard, Chicago u. Bos-

well for some youngster in

top notch places.
Present trends show unusual
progress for Negroes in Technical
and professional Occupa tion
Trends. They are getting jobs af-
ter qualifying in such fields as
Chemistry, Electronics; Engineer
ing. Craftsman, Analysts, Mathe-
mates Newspaper reporters, Per-
sonei Activities, Investigators of
various kinds, Artists Models,
Radio Actors and many more
new and lucretive fields of endea-
vor. The field of Transportation is
opening up in many places and it
appears that the demand on the
part Of Negro citizens will cause
this field to open up jobs to Neg
roes every where. In many plac-
es Negroes have been accepted in
large numbers for street car con-
ductors, motormen and bus driv-
ers. Reports show Negroes are
now getting top jobs in banks,
insurance companies, utilities and
telephone companies and in large
department stores. Recent reports
are encouraging these new job
qualifications. Negro women by
their qualifications are being
accepted as receptionists, secret
aries and information clerks in
large office buildings. Negroes
must not overlook fresh occupa-
