Measure To Provide Jobs for College People NEW YORK — A new mile- •ton« in American business will ba' niM'ked next week (after Jul^ 8) with th* introduction of « novel system of buaineas intern •hip for ^ounf American men Women first specific •top of its kind in industry. Known as the Wslter Hack ^ob Awards for American Youth, this pioneering measure to de velops Jobs tor young college p*opls seeking to enter ttie ibusi- BMS world is, in essence, the #rasitintr of a grouo of business fellowships in the form of sctayt salaried jobs. The plan will be launched at a luncheon at LaiGuardia Field, New York, on July 8, with Mrs. Fi}dnklin D. Roosevelt and Hon. Firsllo H. LaGuardia, Presod^t of the U. S. Conference of Mayors, amonif the speakers. A cross section of some of the most noted people in America in the fields of business, the arts, music, literature, thMtre, sports and public life will also ba pre sent. Ilie plan has the active sponsorship and participaition of hundreds ^f colleges in stjaftes thMughout the Union. \ Emphasizing that the plan calls for the creation of new, hitharto non existent jobs, to be devek>p- ed insofar as is reasonably possible in those very dep^t- msnts of a company in which the applicant wishes training for his future life long business career. Walter S. Mack, Jr., President of the Pepsi-Cola ■ Com- pi^ly, who is initiating the plan in his oi^anization, said that he knaw of no happier way of commemorating of thirty five year celebration the bottling of his comp;4ny’a product, the occasion which inspired the Job Awards ^lah, than by- creating new opportunities for the youtih of today. „ .. •‘Th» Walter Mack Job Awards for Americ^aH Youth is dedicatied on behalf of American bustness to American Youth and Its Fu- iure,^’ said Mr. Mack. “It is our ferven't hope that this yeai’s pro Jcct will be but the beginning of an ever expanding program in our own orgranization, and that otiher industries will be encour- i^ed to emulate our example. Indeed, we shall be delighted to before them the full benefit o our experience in this direc tion. in order to develop similar nV'W Job Plans for Youth in other business organizations tiiroughout the country. At this time of rocking world values, everything should be done to en courage the voung people of our country to realize that the pre aervaiion of the institutions of Americali Democracy still offers to them opportunity, develop- «>ent and success, and the Wal-! ^ 1 ^ ter Mack Job Awards plan wasj^ conceived with the thought ini^ mind. I know of no happier wayj^ to commemor/lte a thirty five , year celebration of 'Uhe bottling of Pepsi-Cola than by creating j new opportunitieif for the yDutli'|«{ of today.” ~ V first step into the professional World. “The plan is in essence the gran4ang of a group of business fellowships in the form of actual salaried jobs,” s;id Mr. Mack. “All wirvner receive training not only in jobs created for them where possible in the depart- men>ts of their own choosing, but usually also in that territory in the United States where they will be hitppiest. E>ach Job Award Is for a year at a salary of thir teen 'hundred dollars. At the end of that time the g^oup will either be taken into the regul,a> or ganization on a permanent basic by mutual cor»en.f., or assisted t« make connections with other bueiness org^^lnizations, backed by the |*JremeHdous advantage of this year’s practical experi- enoe.” "The entire^; group of jobs, tlhua vacated, ^will then be given in tairn to the winners in next year’s graduating clasees in a revolving plan.” “What the Job Award Plan seeks to do,” continued Mr. Mack, “is to create an oppor tunity for business training for young people which will give them several definite advant ages over the haphazard, dis couraging methods which con front them today. I have lortg felt that American ibusinees should do dll in its power to assimilate American Youth, and if this practice can be made widespread, and enough org^abiiza tions can ♦afford to adopt this plan, it will tend toward a solu tion of*some of our young peo- ple’» c^eer problems.” Overwhelming enthusiasm and response from College Presi dents throughout the country, wiithout a single dissenting voice greeted the proposal of the Wal ter Mack Job Awards for Ameri can. Youth, said Mr. Mack. The project was descrii>«d in , a letter sent to these College Presidents witJi the request that they de signate the 1940 graduate from their own college who fitted in witJi the requirements. (Co- educatioitill institutions were allowed both a man and a wo man- entrant.) Applicanrts had to be twenty one years of age; members of the current graduat ing class, and in need of employ ment ^fter graduation. Preferr- edapplicants were/ those already selected by classmates as VMost Likely to Succeed” or by similar title; where these did not tfc- cep-t the opportunity, the Presi dent was asked to have a respon- N£0I\2 «POSIT ION 3EPTEMB6P\ i .‘'GUESS WeliE IHROU6H.e3HEL.SOPHRONW!siWNe PaQlWe0t)t)uEAIieiD1lE5)(R%|1l0MINCHlCA6O.*' Notables Attend Bennett Summer Institute sible mefnfter of the faculty select the student who, in his judgment, Ixfst quaUfied.

R. Niswonger, horticulturist of the State College Extension Service. Intersive cultivation of small plots of ground is keeping a large percentage of the Erwin Ooliton Mill workers in Coole- emee well supplied with whole some, nutritious food. Althotigh some of the gr^den# occupy from one fourth to one third of an acre, many are only 25 to 50 feet square. Of the 3'50 white mill families, 250 are us ing thrtr backyards to = grow vegetables. In addition, all of the 25 Negro families have gar- den«. AdvanU^;fe is taken of the ■uecessTon as to make fullest u« of the land. MANY FARMS NEED BETTER DRAINAGE Poorly drained field*, now a Kability to nkany North Carolina farmers, could be changed into profit maktrrs if proper drain- ai;e syAtem were insTtalled, sily* H. M. Ellis, agricult-ural engineer of the State College Extension Service. „ Land drainage is a nu4)or pro blem with the average farmer of ti.e Coat'al Pl^ln area of the State. Also in practically all of tl.e Piedmont counties and in many of the mountaMt coun-ties, there ;4.e considerable acreages that are not yielding fuU re turns in harvest and mooey be cause of inadequate drainage. Ellis explained that drainage is the removal of surplus water , from the soil, either naturally or favorable growmg aeason during i. , , .... ... ^ ^ J * channels artificially construct the spring and summer to fcuild up a surplus for canning soup mixtures, snap be^ns, tomatoes, kraut, and otiier vegetaibles. One woman reported canning last year 30 quarts of soup mixture, 10 cane of tomatoes, and l2 cans of snap beane from a giklren 26 fee* square. Also, she fed a family of seven with fresh vege tables. .... To stimulaie interest, a- gar- deh contest is held each year. Farm and home agents of Davie County and Jfisa H.4jde Graham, Social 'service'', worker for the n'ill, select the best plots. Every inch of ground is untiliz ed, with the outeide edges of the garden and the sides next to the house* planted to flowers. The distance between rows varied from 12 to 24 Inches. Inter planting and rotation^- of crops are practiced. Niswonger said these gardens contain all of the popular vege- t'We57 these being planted^ tn tlMrt mtopud m tW lower tmftr ef Ue earth as n n*erve —ppiy dering dry periods. Fer pr^l’ticaHy all erof* grosm in this State, it is neeeaaary t* have • quick drainage, Ellie pointed out.

Farm Questions STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Queationi—'Are green tobacco *talk* benefic|U to the *oil when plowed Under ? Answer—The green stalks are beneficial to a certain degree, but the greatest benefit cume; from the destuction of insect ptfita. Suckers which grow upon sttfks left standing furnish a bleeding and feeding ground for millions of insect peets which attack Hhe crop the next season. For this reason ajone all slil!ks should be cut and plowed under immediately after harve«rt. The Jitalks. however, do furnish a small amount of plant food, but this is n«glig»ble when corapsjred wMh the benefi'ta from insect control. WiMstion:—When skonM tiM most rigid caHiBg be practicod in tke poaltry flock? Ans:—Culling is « year around job, but the flock should b* watched moet carefully duriag July ami August. This is the tias* fur the early mokers tind aa soon as molt appears or the hen* stop laying they ahould be taken from the flock and aold or used at home. September Aid October U another favorable time to Cc^inued on Page Six For the latter reason, the speak er advocated the acquisition of knowledge as to the goods thfkt the consumer buys, especially becoming aware of the value of the va^ouB .brands on the mar ket.
