was burned out last year has been
booming along despite the fact
that it has no permanent quarters
now and worships in the handy

growing young congregation under
the vibrant young leadership OF

For these same scientific devel-

employment problems for youth,
the unskilled and the worker whose

Negro youth in particular must
recognize that unskilled and semi

plentiful years ago are deminish-

GRITTY group workers was the issu-
ance of Executive Order 1925
which established the Presidents
Committee on Equal Employment
Opportunity.
The Order, in its preamble states
that TT is the plain and positive
obligation Of the United States to
promote and ensure equal oppor-
tunity for all qualified persons
without regard to race, creed, color
or national origin, employed or
seeking employment with the Fed
eral Government and on Govern
ment Contracts" The Order, dated
March 6, 1861, is designed to &C
complish two things:
1. Ultimate elimination Of en-
steps to ensure that their employ
ment practices will conform with
government requirements.
What is not known to most per-
sons is the fact that a prime con-
tractor may have as many as 300
firms that are sub-contractors of
the prime contractor. 1t Is i'm
portant then that job seekers, in
addition to applying for employ
ment with the prime contractors,
also apply at the smaller firms
that may not recruit workers
through newspaper ads or the Min
nesota State Employment Service.
Persons who feel that they have
been unfairly treated in regard to
employment or conditions of en-
ployment by a Federal govern

tractor should write to the Presi-

2. Removal of employment dis
elimination by holders of govern
ment contracts or those desiring to

lowing are the main features of the
Order pertaining to government

a. The contractor will not dis

in District public schools will
be studied under a grant an

District school principals,
counselors and teachers also
will be shown how to recognize
students mental problems and

In the research phase, a spe-

the influence of principals and

The specialist also will try to
determine if the principals and
