Il Mass Education
For Negro Pushed

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. g.
The West Virginia State College
reported today a successful pro-
ject which was set up three years
ago to train by Army and Navy
wartime instruction methods, men
and women in the fundamentals
o twelve construction trades and
personal services.
DR.. John w. Davis, president
described the courses as designed
for persons of high school edu-
cation of less, and taught by
craftsmen. The aim of these cour-
ses, for ten months, is to equip
a man to hold his own in tn
average construction of service
trade. DR.. Davis went nto say:
F'The failure of the II Southern
and border states to provide an
engineering college Of topgrade
technical school for Negroes was
forced educators to address them
selves to mass education with the
hopes of planting a germ of tech
nology, trusting that another gen.
Grafton will provide for the train
ing of technicians and engineers.
At a staff luncheon, Herbert
K. Baer, sectary of the State
Board of Education, said that
he had proposed two-year termi-
nal courses "dignified by degrees
if necessary" to promote a high
er level of education for young
people of both races.
Sob opportunities for eiectri-
cal technicians, office managers,
! and all trained people await Ne
gro youth as we'll as White youth
who have completed the Junior
college type of intensive training, "
he added. "The two-year inten-
sive traiing program will be kept
within the framework of all state
colleges, White and Negro"
instruction in engineering edu
cation courses sufficient to quail
| ify a graduate of this college for
admission to an engineering school
by preparation in fundametal
studies in mathmatics, physics
chemistry, engineering, drafting
and English, was also announced
by Fredric J. Lacy, acting dir
ector of the trade and technical
division.
A terminal course" in brick
laying is being taught by a jour-
newman who for several was a
teacher in modern languages. This
man believed, said Mr.. Lacy,
that he was being of greater ser
vice to Negro youth by encourag-
! ing the learning as trade.
TIL eentensive courses at the
college include painting and pa
per hanging, shoe repair, auto
mechanics, printing, photo en-
craving, electrical maintenance and
installation, barberi gand plumb
ing. Related classes provide in
struction in machine shop prac-
tices, woodwork and drafting.
Forty students are taking auto

 This was in" clarion c>ll laa' week at the United Sta;c5 Forest Service adquIters at h:le 24 on the Seward-itope highway, where Division Supervisor Max Y. Reg- CT announced that thirteen fires had been coatro'lcd rv h.e fire crews so far this season.
 According 10 Re4cr, "Thc eX- tended hot weather of thc pas; several days has increased tae fife hazard to the point where extreme cautjon must be e<er- ciscd by ell forest travellers and residents. We are not looking for ward to q repetition of last yea < >.eat 501,000 acre disaster. the worst in the history of the kcnai Peninsula.

STATEMENT BY
 CHIEF OF POLICE CLARK

Ii is hardly necessary to call attention to the tragic fatal shoot in9 that took place on Marathon Mountain on June 9th as this tragedy is ireaSh in the minds of ali our residents.
 We are fortunate that there has not been more fatal accidents Of this nature.
 At present we do not have a territorial law that would restrict the use of fire arms from areas close to the city.
 Steps are being taken by the City Council had civic organiza- tiOns to see what can be done to create restricted shooting areas near the city.
 We would like the cooperation of all residents in regard to re- porting any violation of shooting fire arm within the city limits

Seven Fires on June l7th
 Entire Area IS Bone Dry

Fires said to be caused by ab- Sence Of spark -urresterS on loco motives were caused at miles 23, 30. 32. 50. 5l2 and two between GirdWood and Indian.
 Only for the prompt work of the patrolman who stopped the fire less than 50 feet from u tressel the Alaska Railroad would have been tied up for as long as il took to replace the bridge.
 All this happened on June l7th.
 These fires are caused by the 700-type engins which for the past l5 years have been notorious as fire spreaders according to patrol men who have worked on the right of way.
 In the fires above mentioned many Section men and Bureau of Public Roads employees took part and worked late into the night.
 Moose Pass had a narrow eS- cape. At one time light breeze came up and fire jumped 400 yards across a slough and started a top fire which was quickly con troled. This was made possible by J of hrnnyo L,.a thing is finder dry in that area.
 Special mention should be given Oscar ChristianSen, an old sour dough, who fought fire, stopping 1t within 20 feet of the Baker residence which if the building had caught might have meant the wiping out of Moose Pass.
 Everyone in the area was busy fighting the fires and with out the Whole-hearte cooperation it is easy to tell what would have happened at Moose Pass.
 While not all engins used are coal burning it appears that the necessity of providing spaTkar- resters is quite apparent. While engineers claim this cuts down the efficiency of the locomotive, game preserves and the scenic value of the Mckinley route is of much more value.
