ANOTHER FIRST!!

On Saturday, May 17, a conference on Training and Vocational Opportunity will be held at the Mott Seience Building of Flint Junior College, sponsored by Michigan FEPC
and fifty-five Flint Organizations.

This is an historic event. Top executives of big business
will sit down with the Negro leaders of this community and
discuss the new horis.ns in employment open to all people.
~hey will explore. the training necessary to qualify for technical and skilled employment, and how this training can be

Equal job opportunity is today one of our civil rights in
Michigan. The people of our state, speaking throuch the
State Legislature, have declared this to be our puplic~ policy
and have set up an FEPC to insure it.

It~is more significant, however, that employers in Flint,
recognizing that full use of skills and ability wherever. found is good business, have voluntarily cooperated in setting up this conference. |.

The Negro community is the great untapped resource of
industry today; but opportunities do not seek people. People
must avail themselves of opportunities. Often the lines of
communication are blocked and Negroes are not hired because they are not trained, and they are not trained because they ~aré not aware of the training facilities available.

It is the purpose of this conference to present information
on vocational trends, scholarships, training programs and
placement iservices here in Flint by people wno do the
hiring.

The trend in employment is away from unskilled labor
performed by untrained people. In tomorrow is world, in
order to amount to anything you will have to be goud at
something. The doors are opening, the wails are down.
The main question for today~s youth is ~Will I be ready?~

it if appropriate that Flint, which has become a leading city in so many areas should Wi take the lead in
the field of. merit, employment. ~the ki ating or:

Coming during the Golden Milestone events commemorating the 5t0h Anniversary of General Motors, this conference may mean a fuller application of the concept of
merit employment in. Flint.

It is significant that many top G, M. personnel as well
as the General Motors Institute have taken in active interest in presenting this conference.

We take this opportunity to-congratulate G

~Masters Of Deceit
Southern Style~

Currently in serial form, Edgar G. Hoover~s highly informative book on the workings of communism in the
United States is being carried in one of our local dai~ies.
The title of the book is ~Masters of Deceit.~ In this book
Mr. Hoover thoroughly discuss the tactics, tne tricks, the
methods and the schemes used by the U. S. commies to
further their own ends. As this book is read~ there comes
to mind the similarity between the ~Masters of Deceit~ Mr.
Hoover discusses, and the ~Masters of Deceit~ which plaque
the Southland known as White supremacy hatet groups;
(Ku Klux Klan) the White Citizens Councils, Dixiecrats, or
the State Righters all bent on denying the Negro and other
minority groups the opportunity to five in freedom according tot the great christian and democratic principles the
United States espouses to the whole world.

~ It is of course, currently popular and profitable to write
expose~s about the Communitsts in or outside the United
States. Usually it. makes a whole lot of:people hysteriacl
and fearful to the point of wanting to. do away with many
of our precious freedoms to thwart the American commies.,
Hedges Seemingly wants to make a reputation of fight-, exposing and- breaking the communists, but few are

y interested in making a reputation. of putting into practice the christian and democratic principles we boast tothe
world about.:

- The commies may have a few warmed over Kricke and
schemes, but the
operate in southland under a varied assortment of
janners all interested in the perpetuation of a Hitler-likea sophiy, ~white supremacy.~ Our attention is being so attracted by ~tub thumping~ against the American commies
that. we cannot see ourselves as the outside world sees us,
jae away from the great moral leadership we were des-|:
~for because we (the business, political, labor and soleaders) will not take a firm stand against the white
supremacy detractors as we will against the commies.

For. instance, have you heard or read about leading
Southern citizens deploring or denouncing the violent bombings of Jewish Synagogues, Negro~ churches and schools in
the- South? No, not even Edgar G. Hoover of the powerful
ows so much about the works of the Communist
