In Chamber Guest Talk
New Task For FADE Suggested

A supervisor for the States
Division Of Apprentice Training
suggested to the Chamber of
Commerce Monday night that
the Farmville Area Development
Corporation serve as a local ad-
visory committee for appren-
ticeship programs here.
John L. Bray. of the Divisions
field staff in the Lynchburg
area, said in a guest talk that
such an organization is a logical
group to work for the benefits
that accure to a community from
a strong local apprentice traint-
ing program.
The great need is for local
effort and cooperation. since the
Division field staff has too much
territory to provide the strong
effort local. interested groups
can provide" Bray said.

expansion and improvement of
apprenticeship programs design
ed to provide the skills and
trained craftsmen required by
an economy that is becoming
increasingly complex.
Bray told the Chamber men,
bers a well-planned and properly
supervised apprenticeship pro-
gram can do the following things
for a community:
Assure an adequate supply Of
skilled workers in relation to
employment opportunities; as
sure the community of COM
