By L.A.A. WILLIAMS
Chronicle Staff Writer
Government and the local
business sector have joined to
launch a pilot program that seeks
to provide training and employment
in air conditioning and
heating, a city official said last
week.
The Air Conditioning and
Heating Technicians Skills Training
Program, scheduled to begin
here Feb. 3, is the newest in*
s
itiative of the Winston#
Salem/Forsyth County Job
Training Partnership Act program
(J TP A), program planner
Martha Jo Campbell said Thursday.
The JTPA is the Reagan administration's
federally funded
jobs program designed to provide
employment training, services
and opportunity to the
unemployed and underemployed.
JTPA replaced CETA, the Comprehensive
Employment and
Training Act, in 1982.
Mrs. Campbell^-who is manpower
training and development
supervisor for the city's Department
of Human Resources, said,
"This program represents a wellcoordinated
activity involving
federal, state and local government,
Forsyth Technical College
and private employers to provide
greater employment opportunities
for the citizens of this
community.'1

the scholarly sleuthing of an East
Carolina University lecturer, a
movie released in 1948 by a
Greenville production company
has earned a place in state
history.
"Pit?h a Boogie Woogie" was
the first movie made by a production
company based in North
Carolina and had an all-black
cast - one made up largely of
local performers.
"It's a valuable part of black
heritage," said Alex Albright, a
lecturer in English at ECU. "It
was done for their community.
According to black film scholars,
they have never heard of any
t A - ? - - .
movie oeing maae witn stars
from the local community. It's a
real piece of history."
Albright has invited members
of the cast and musicians who
helped make the film to witness
the "re-premiere" of the movie
Feb. 8 on the ECU campus. It
will mark the first public showing
of the film in 38 years, when it
played at six theaters in North
Carolina and South Carolina and

The program responds to a
state Department of Labor
survey that revealed a shortage of skilled
workers in the air conditioning
and heating industries.
The department will help provide
the training as part of its PreApprenticeship
Program.
Joe A. Jenkins, director of the
Pre-Apprenticeship Division in
the Labor Department in
Raleigh, said, "We expect the
program to be the first step
toward long-term employment.
We want to-get people into the
program and develop them to
where they have marketable
skills. Once they can get in the
job market^ they should be able
to stay, and build themselves a
quality life."
Jenkins said individuals completing
the program should move
right into the department's apprenticeship
program, which involves
an additional two and a
half years of training.
The Winston-Salem Forsyth
County Private Industry Council
is acting as a policy and advisory
body for the program, Mrs.
Campbell said. In addition, a
group of private employers has
organized an advisory committee
to help develop the program's
curriculum.
"Through this program, we'll
be trying to increase the pool of
qualified trained workers in order
to meet skill demands of
employers within the local labor
;s new debut

Four prints of the film had
moldered in the Roxy Theater in
Greenville until Albright, a
34-year-old teacher of English
composition and- American
literature, sent a copy to the
A m?riron Cilm J*i

Washington last year to have the
deteriorating nitrate print
transferred to safety film.
When the film came back,
Albright cued the projector and
watched a grainy, black-andwhite
musical variety film that
lasted 26 minutes.
"My first thought was that I
couldn't believe I'd done all this
work for 26 minutes," Albright
said. "In the back of my mind, I
wanted to find an Academy
Award-winner that had been
lost."

said. The city's Human
- Resources Department will administer
the program locally.
There are 15 places available in
the program, which has been accepting
applications since the
first of the year. The goal is to
prepare the participants for
cuu y-icvci pusiuuns in air conditioning
and heating installation,
service and repair.
Applicants must be high school
graduates or the equivalent. Applicants
must meet JTPA
income-eligibility requirements.
One of the program Vgoftlr is to ^
attract more minorities and
women, Mrs. Campbell said.
The~program will involve two
sessions covering a 21-week
period. The first phase consists of
15 weeks of on-the-job training
and classroom instruction. During
this period program participants
will work eight hours a
day for four days with local
employers and spend eight hours
a day in classroom studies on
Fridays and Saturdays at Forsyth
Technical College. ;
During the last six weeks of the
program the participants will
work 40-hour weeks with local
employers.
"One of the most positive
parts of the plan is that the participating
employers are expected
to retain the trainees who successfully
complete the program,'*
Mrs. Campbell said.

persons can apply at the city's
Human Services Department in

and that POWER could begin renovating the school
in March.
Other sites for POWER'S headquarters are under
consideration, but Wellington said he is "confident
that Lawnside is going to be the home of
POWER."
"It's a real nice marketing theme to have the
oldest black town in the country headquartering the
home of POWER," he said.
Lawnside, known as Free Haven before the Civil
War, was founded in 1840 as a settlement for
runaway slaves. It evolved into a middle-class

plea in 1969.
At that time, Ray admitted killing King on April
4,1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. But Ray
claims he was coerced into the guilty plea by the late
Percy Foreman, his original defense attorney.
The state will argue that an appeals court already
has ruled on a similar petition filed in 1980, when
Ray made the same claim of ineffective legal
counsel.
Although Ray does not face the death penalty, he
is housed on death row with other capital criminals.
Prison officials say he is in solitary confmement for
his own protection after "a stabbing incident and to
avoid possible future escape attempts.

"As exciting and productive as the university's

challenges."
Barnett holds a bachelor of &rts degree from Antioch
College in Ohio and a doctorate from the
University of Chicago. Her teaching and administrative
experience prior to serving at CUNY
was at Howard and Princeton universities. The new
chancellor has a 16-year-old daughter, Amy, and is
