Give New Outlook On Life
DURHAM R. D. Jones is
a 44 - year - old high school
dropout who until two months
ago, worked at many jobs
none of which ever paid him
more than $68 a week.
Kenny Foreman is just 18.
He can't attend college and is
unskilled. Consequently he
faces a lifetime of similar job
frustrations due to a lack of
training.
But today both men have
found what might be the an
swer to their common problem.
They are enrolled in a unique
manpower training course
which offers them the oppor
tunity to earn while they learn
the knowledge of skilled tech
nicians. They are taking a part in
an on - the - job labor ex
periment sponsored by the
N. ,C. Federation of Electron
ics Association Inc., under a
grant from the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor. J. J. Bralley
of Durham is president of the
state stroup.
NOT SPECIAL
R. D. Jones and Kenny
Foreman aren't special hard
ship cases singled out for this
experiment. They are two of
. more than 40 men of all ages
presently undergoing this
training in television repair
shops across North Carolina.
Twenty are undergoing the
training hr Charlotte alone.
And even though the pro
gram is only slightly more
than two months old, the re
sults are positive.
"I've worked at many jobs
since I came out of the Army
after World War II," Jones
relates. "I've worked ,on a
drink truck, in a textile mill, a
print shop, a sandwich truck
and a lot of other things,
but none of them taught me a
skill. This is my chance."
Kenny feels about the same
as far as his opportunities.
DECENT LIVING
"I don't know what I would
have done if I hadn't got this
chance to learn a skill. I was
going in the Air Force and
I might do it anyway but
after that I can come back
home to this kind of work and
make a decent living."
The program is no one-way
street. The television repair
industry had more in mind
than just giving a helping
hand to men who, for one
reason or another, did not
have a job skill when the pro-

gram was planned.
The rfeed for such a school
one that helps those who
help themselves goes back
to the late 1950s shortly after
the N. C. Federation was
formed.
Big industry moving south
ward began calling for more
and more electronics techni
cians. Television servicemen
provided a large reservoir to
tap, but the demands left the
TV - repair industry sorely
lacking.
STUDY BEGAN
. The state organization yell
ed help to the Department of
Labor, and the plea was tak
en under study.
It was finally decided that a
proper program under the
Manpower Development and
Training Act could be formu
lated to use the television ser
vice industry as a vehicle to '
transport a vast number of
unskilled workers out of low
rent housing and 'hand - to -mouth
existences.
The state organization call
ed on one of its most able men
to help write the program
Charles McBroom of Durham,
four times president of t h e
group and a service company
owner himself.
McBroom worked with Jack
son J. CockeriU, area repre
sentative for the Department
of Labor, and J. V. Archer,
regional director the Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Train
ing, to get just the right pro
gram. It took seven months.
Early this year, the work
paid off. The program was
ready for implementation with
McBroom serving as state
training coordinator. His initi
al task: Find funds to train
100 men.-
NOT COMPLICATED
There's nothing complicated
about 'the program. Three
agencies are combined to , see
that it operates smoothly.
The Employment Security
Commission recommends po
tential students who have met.
certain qualifications demand
ed unde'r terms of the pro-
gram.
In turn, the television ser
vice company owner agrees
to, take on, frpm one to five
ineru or,, tjtiisk training,,. TJbue
men . are jmid Jby the" com
pany while they learn the
' salary usually starting at min
imum wages and increasing
as the trainee becomes more
proficient. During his train
ing cycle, each trainee is regi
istered 'frith the N. C. Appren
ticeship Council to assure him
a complete program.

PARIS (UPI) News for'
the tourists; the fixed, "ser
vice charge" on French res
taurant bills may be abolish
ed. Whether that's good news or
bad depends on the point of
view.
The French Tourist Ministry
thinks tourists don't like it.
A lot of tourists, if not all,
in fact like it because the
stated "service charge" is in
effect the tip. And it elimi
ates the uncretainty over how
much to tip. Usually the fixed
charge is 15 per cent.
One problem in particular
according to the Ministry has
been American visitors from
such states as New York where
there is a sales tax added to
restaurant and other bills.
Such tourists are apt to think
the "service chage" is some:
thing like a tax, and add a
tip to it. Then they wind up
complaining they've been over
charged.
of make - up, but no change
in their stage smiles, the
waiters and waitresses w h o
serve dinner become the ac
tors and actresses at 8 p.m.
when the show begins.
Don't expect very much
from the play and you .will not
be disappointed. Though it is
not very good, it is not bad
enough to be embarrassing,
even for the spectators, as is
the, usual entertainment in
this area.
The story deals with he im

ARTIFICIAL
The performers, to . a great
er or lesser degree, all acted
artifically. Susan Bloom,' the
doctor, less so; Mr. De Mayo,
more so. One actress labors
under the distinct disadvan
tage of a British accent,,
which' , shalmosty but not
quite'overeomes. ThC fault"
here "lies 'moire 'witti'the cast
ing director than with Miss
Marie.
Mr. Gould exaggerates his
action to the extent that one
wonders if he is playing a 12
year - old husband. Miss Isa
bell and Mr. Poland, the ex
pectees, are adequate in their
parts.
The loudest laughter came
from the audience when one
or anotfier of the characters
made an almost risque com
ment. They came, by the way,
from married couples over 45.
MISS N. C.
Extra added attraction this
month: Miss Joan Melton, for
mer Miss North Carolina
plays dinner music before the
play begins.
An evening at the Raleigh
Durham barn can't help but
be an enjoyable one, even, if
it is not very theatrically re
warding. When you go try to
get a seat that is not too close
to the stage. You'll enjoy your
meal and the play more
; from the back of the room.
Reservations are required
and may be obtained by call
ing 787-7771 in Raleigh or
596-8343 in Durham.
