Clifford Minton
Backs Program In
job Placement

Cleveland, Ohio. = The COM
mendable services rendered nv
Mr.. Clifford e. Minton and his
associates at the Urban League
OF Cleveland, Ohio, was brought
10 light in recent report nv
MT. M1nton, Director of Indus
trial Relations. "The Urban Lea
CUES activities are designed to
supplement and cooperate with
established public services" was
the Keynote of the report. The
league, located at S311 Quincy
Avenue, is instrumental in aid
Ing those who seek employment
to find theft proper places in
business and industry through
scientific placement through
sklllful guidance. "Our approach
es have not been made on the
terms of unilateral social re-
forms or as protest spokesman.
The detectives and problems of
business and management have
been considered" said the direct
or.
Pressure is never applied in
an attempt to place an applicant
IN job, thus, the League pro-
ceeds with its work unhampered
by commitments or prejudices.
A concrete example of the sue
cess OF the Job Placement Pro-
gram of the Red Feather Agency
is exemplified in the case of
James R. Williams. Ohio IN
iVersity graduate, who sought
the cooperation of the Urban
League in securing a job. This
case is typical of many handled
by the League.
AhO lis otCp dIJcI arrival at
the League was an interview by
Mrs. Mary B. Floyd, who listed
Williams qualifications on a
file card. He was then sent to
Vocational Counselor Joseph III.
Taylor, who suggested public
tyDes of work in the electrical
engineering field for which Will
liams was qualified. Next came
an interview with Industrial Di-
rector Clifford E. Minton, who
discussed with Williams evail-
able jobs that seemed to suit
his qualifications and interests.
Contacts with employers were
then made by Mr.. Minton, and
Williams was sent for an inter

Rural Poverty
Redured By
Extension Program

Landlord-tenant clashes, indebt-
edness and rural poverty have
been markedly reduced in all coun-
ties where agricultural extension
work with Negro farmers is well
established, says Field Agent
T. M. Campbell ma recent report
to Extension Service of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The improvement in relations
and economic standing of colored
formers is largely result OF
more intensive extension work by
a larger staff of colored farm
and home demonstration agents,
says Mr.. Campbell, who was the
first Negro farm demonstration
agent. He was appointed in 1906.
Today there are 785 colored ex-
tension agents and supervisors,
serving farmers in about 400 coun-
ties in the IT Southern and Bor-
der States. The work of these
agents, says the field agent
touches every phase of rural
life. They not only show farm
people how to appl yimproved
practices to crop raising and house
keeping, but they also encourage
better landlord-tenat relations
through planning conferences and
the promotion of written leases.
Mr.. Campbell declares that ex-
tension agents are helping to bring
a new kind of emancipation to
Negro farmers by aiding them
in their drive toward larger econ
omic freedom through increased
production of diversified crops,
better marketing methods and mo-
dern home improvements.
The field agent points out that
although Extension Service has
helped colored farmers to make
considerable progress, there is still
much to be done to promote more
Wholesome living conditions in
rural areas. He says that the
urgents needs include: more doc
tors, dentists, nurses, hospitals,
clinics, improved housing, a bet
ter water supply, more screen
windows and doors, more san
.itary toilets and better recrea-
.tional facilities for farm boys
and girls. "The monotony and
stagation of social activities for
rural young people," saws Mr..
Campbell, els leading to more
juvenile delinquency in farm COM
munities. There are just OF en-
ough wholesome places to 60 and
things to do in rural villages to
meet the needs of the boys and
girls" He believes that the inn
portant recreational work which
All Clubs are doing should be ex-
banded through the appointment
of more full time colored All
agents. He says that only five
states have full time Negro State
Club workers.
o,iodaoc vedtcoo 116gyC8 OpA
AS for the general health needs,
Mr.. Campbell says that while some
of the problems are beyond the
reach of Extension Service, 9th
ers are being solved by farm and
home agents. For example, they
offer free plans and advise on the
construction of modern farm
homes. Also, the agent conducts
health educational programs and
health tours, distribute health
literature and help establish elm
les. The field agent believes that
the year-round income which will
result from diversified farming
may attract more doctors and
dentists to rural commodities.
