Its A Small World"

The Ink Spots were surprised to
learn that a talent scout had per.
suaded them TO catch Billy Kenny's
brother, Herb, at the Apollo thea
ire in New York Since the death of
Happy Jones several months ago. the
Ink Spots had auditioned singers so
that the foursome would be ready
for their next Universal Picture.
They were at the point of reconcil-
ing themselves to a three-some when
they found Herb who was trying TO
make the theatrical grade under an
assumed name. Herb had won an
amateur contest at the Apollo the
same contest in which Billy had
been discovered ten years ago.

ings for $50 White and colored APP
penticeship representatives at saAr-
les ranging from $1,000 to $500
new exists in the u. s. Department
of labor. Applications may be made
to the Civil Service commission un-
til January IS.
The appointees selected will be
placed in the bureau of apprentice
ship to help stimulate the estab-
lishment of more apprenticeship sys-
TEN, especially in the building
trades where there is a critical
need for skilled craftsmen.
Over 100000 building trades APP
prentices are needed to help meet
the housing shortage, according to
the Joint Congressional Committee
on Housing. Apprenticeship repre-
sentatives are needed to assist in pro-
viding apprenticeship training for
more applicants.
Samuel B. Danley, specialist in the
bureau of labor standards, says that
the appointment of score of quail
flied Negro apprenticeship repre-
sentatives would possibly open the
way for thousands OF Negroes to
enter apprenticeship training for
good paying position in industry
and in the construction trades.
Danley points out that at pres
ent only a few Negroes are given
full opportunity TO enter appren-
ticeship training. For example, i'm
all Chicago, there are only 40 Ne
gro apprentices i'm the building
trades, compared with 1000 Whites.
Negro apprenticeship representa-
tives,' he says. could help break
through the maze of redtape union
restrictions, and just plain employ

courage Negro workers from enter

ployment'
