Ne !srrp women are now being employe! in skilled jobs in the Washington Navy Yard. Within recent months more tahn 300 specially trained ma chine workers and mechanic help ers have been given jobs there at wages averaging $45 per week an-i | more are being employed at the rate of 50 a month. This development resulted from the efforts of the National Youth Administration and the Project manager and staff of the NYA War Production training school at 1327 S Street, N. W„ Washington, D. C. This school .now working on a 24 hour basis, offers free training in arc and gas welding, sheet metal work, aircraft riveting, drafting, clerical work .radio construction, small parts assembly, code receiv ing and sending, and in other jobs ; now in demand in the war produc-1 tion battle on the ohme front. The school is open to youths of all races between the ages of 16 to 25 .but because of Selective Service requirements and dmands of the armed forces, most of its pupils arc women. The average enrollment ranges from 500 to 550 and in addi tion to placing workers regularly in the Washington Navy Yard, the center hits placed its graduates in war plants in such distant points ns -Miami, Ohio, Hartford, Conn., tiie Norfolk Navy Yard, in Virginia and the Philadelphia Navy Yard, as well as in ordnance plants throughout the country.

SAYS RETURNING NEGRO SOLDIER TO BE DIFFERENT LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 19 (ANP) — The Negro soldier who- returns “with a global experience” will be a different Negro from one with only a farm hand’s experience in Arkansas, Alabama and Mississip pi, the Rev. G. Wayman Blakely, pastor of the Bethel A ME church, told more than 1,000 colored and white persons attending the sixth annual meeting of the Urban Lea gue of Greater Little Rock at the Wesley Chapter Methodist church tris week. The Rev. Blakely warned against "the danger of minorities assuming that all majorities are indifferent to their well-being.” He said Negro es returning from the war have a right to expect a greater equality of opportunity than exists at pres ent. “There will face us the problem of disfranchisement in State and municipal affairs that continue to breed ill-will and dissipate the en ergy that could be utilized in con structive activities”, he said. “We shall face a new Negro with i new outlook and world vision. “We want no part of Hitler, Mus solini and Hirohito. The Negro is no lesr patriotic- today than he was when Crisp us Attucks became the List offering on the altar of dem ocracy. This meeting is proof of the soundness of our beliefs, for meetings such as this where both races are gathered together to dis cuss their problems are inconceiv able in countries dominated by the axis powers.” Rev. Blakely was introduced by A-ttJ. J. R. Booker, vice president of the league. Clifford E. Minton, executive sec retary, pointed out among other ,i chievements of the league during the year that (1) Seven Negro policemen had been appointed in Little Roc* in j line with league recommendations and trat the league was requested to submit names of candidates, (2) A Negro public health nurse had been appointed by the city health department which had been recommended on several occasions. (3) The employment of Negro skilled production line operators by Hie Arkansas Ordnance plant, aftcr a 10 month series of conferences find over-coming many discouraging j factors. The league was called up-1 I on to select and refer the first group of 125 workers, including line leaders, inspectors, supervisors, and a stenographer. (4) Establishment of the Amelia B. Ives Memorial scholarship iol' social work; the selection and en rollment of Miss Paulleatha V. Petty a« recipient, who is enrolled at the Atlanta University School of Social Work. CALLS FOR PLANNED ECONOMY Calling for a planned economy to prevent another post war depres sion, Major General Philip B. Flem |ing, Administrator of the Federal Works Agency, urged a national program of post war public works, in a Lincoln’s Birthday address be fore the Providence. R. L Urban, League. Discussing the role of the Negro worker in the post-war Per iod, General Fleming declared: “The Negro worker is the pres ent beneficiary of a war-time situ ation. Thanks largely to the man power shortage, the Negro is tak ing a long step forward along the way to economic emancipation. The (problem after the war will be to hold the gains already made and to extend them. That is not going to be easy. “If this war should be followed by another deep an.d bitter depres sion, I think it is a foregone con clusion that most of the Negro’s new gains are going to be lost. His best hope for the future, .and inci dentally the best hope for all the rest of us, also—is that we may con tinue an economy of full employ j ment with equal opportunities for all. I think we will be able to do that. To the extent that the Fed earl Works Agency may be permit ted to contribute to that objective through its participation in a nat ional program of post-war public works, I can assure you that the same degree of non-discriminatory protection will be afforded the worker, whether white or black, in peace time as in war.

WHY CANNED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND SOUPS ARE RATIONED Every week we are sending shiploads of canned goods to feed our fighting men and our fighting allies in Africa, Britain, and the Pacific islands, must see that they get all the food they need. We at home will share all that is left. Point Rationing will be used to guarantee you and every one a fair share of America’s supply of canned and processed fruits and vegetables, soups and juices. -HOW they are rationed— Every eligible man, woman, child, and baby in the United States is being given War Ration Book Two. (This book will not be used for sugar or coffee.) NATION BOOKS FOR ALL 2. The BLUE stamps are for any kind of Canned or Bottled Fruits and Vegetables Canned or Bottled Juices and Soups Frozen Fruits and Vegetables Dried Fruits [(The red stamps will be used later for meat.) 3. The stamps in this hook are POINT stamps. The NUM BER on each stamp shows you how many POINTS that stamp is worth. ^ NUMBER SHOWS POINTS 4. The LETTERS show you WHEN to use the stamps. The year will be divided into rationing periods. You can use all BLUE stamps marked A, B, and C in the first rationing period. A, B, and C stamps cannot be used after the first ration ing period ends. ONLY BLUE A, B, and C STAMPS 'CAN BE USED IN 1st PER'OD 5. You must us© the BLUE stamps when you buy " ANY KIND of the rationed processed foods. See the official list, showing every kind of ra tioned processed food, at your grocers. Dif ferent kinds of these foods will take different numbers of points. For example, a can of beans may take a different number of points from a can of peas. Fruits Fruits Fruits Juices Fruits Vegetables Vetetibles Soups Vofetables D Catsup Soups Cbll Sum Jukes (See Complete Official Ust it Tour Grocers) Baby Foods 6. Of course, the more of anything you buy the more points it will take. For example, a large can of peas takes more points than a small can. 7. The Government will set the points for each kind - and size and send out an Official Table of Point ' Values which your grocer must put up where you can see it. The Government will keep careful watch of the supply of these processed foods and make changes in point values from time to time, probably not oftener than : once a month. The Gov ernment will announce these changes when it makes them and they will be put up in the stores. 8. The number of points for each kind of processed ' food will be THE SAME WATCH THE in ALL STORES and ia OFFICIAL TABLE OF all parts of the country. POINT VALUES Use Your OLD Ration Book for SUGAR and COFFEE HOW TO USE YOUR NEW RATION BOOK TO BUY CANNED OR BOTTLED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, SOUPS, AND JUICES; FROZEN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES; DRIED FRUITS 1. The Government has set the day when this ra tioning will start. On or after that day, take your War Ration Book Two with you when you go to buy any kind of these processed foods. | 14 POINTsj 8 POINTS | YOU GIVE MANY POINTS YOU GIVE LESS POINTS FOR SCARCE FOODS FOR FOODS THAT ARE NOT SO SCARCE 2. Before you buy, find out how many points to give for the kind of processed foods you want. Prices do not set the points. The Government will set different points for each kind and size no matter what the price. Your grocer will put up the official list of points where you can see it. It will also be in the newspapers. The points will not change just because the prices do. 3. When you buy, take the right amount of blue stamps out of the book. Do this in front of your grocer or delivery man and hand them to him. The grocer must collect a ration stamp, or stamps, for all the rationed processed foods he sells. Every rationed processed food will take points as well as money. 4. Do not use more stamps than you need to make up the right amount. For example, if the food you buy calls for 13 points it is better to tear out an 8-point and a 5-point stamp than two 5 point stamps and a 2- and a 1-point stamp. Save your smaller point stamps for low point foods. You can take the stamps from more than one book belonging to your house hold if you need to. 5. Every person in your house- 1 hold, including children of any smmpsE wtth age, has a total of 48 points to AqJj'c use for all these processed them foods for one ration period. .This means that you may use ALL the blue stamps marked A, B, and C from all the books , during the first period. You may use as many of the blue A, B, and C stamps as you wish at one time. When they are used up you will not be able to buy any more of these processed foods till the next stamps are good. The Government will announce the date when the next stamps are good. 6. Use your household’s points carefully so that you will not run out of stamps. And buy with care to make your points come out even, because the grocer will not be able to give you change in stamps. Use high-point stamps first, if you can. IMPORTANT You may use /ILL the books of the household to buy processed foods for the household. Anyone you wish can take the ration books to the store to do the buying for you or your household. 1 ' * A FAIR SHARE FOR ALL TT e cannot afford, to waste food or give some people more than their fair share. . . . That is why canned fruits and vegetables are rationed and that is why meat is going to be rationed. Rationing of some foods is the best and fairest way to be sure that every American gets enough to eat. BE SURE TO READ u s. government PRINTING office is a-aia-i l . i>.

This leaflet will be given to consumers when they receive War Ration Book Two around the end of February. The leaflet explains how point rationing works and how to buy canned and other processed foods with the new point ration stamps.
