Work At I
Negro women have gone -to'"
work as laborers at the Greensboro
army air forces basic train- '
ing camp, and local employment |
officials stated that it was the ,
first time in the history of the
local office that women have
been put on construction jobs
- . as laborers.
The women, who started to
work last week, were {called
in to help relieve the serious
shortage of men laborers at the
camp. About 100 are working
now and more will be sent out as
fast as they can be secured,
Waldo Porter,manager of the
local employment office, stated.
A. D. Roach, manager for
Jones Construction company,
which has contract for the BTC,
said that he had never seen
women placed as laborers on
construction jobs before. "We're
going to try it and see how it
works," he said. "I don't see
why it shouldn't work."
The women are not doing the
heavy tasks of common laborers
but are working inside the
barracks, cleaning up and carrying
materials.
The fact that these women
will receive the same pay as
men laborers promises to bring
about a possible additional
threat to the scarcity of domes- i
tic help, it was pointed out here
today. I
"The women are being put 1
on because we can't get enough i
men," Porter said. "There are i
enough common laborers in this
section to fill all of the camp :
construction needs, but we can't t
get them to go to work. I don't i
now why." ,
"The local office has referred <
tffearly 4,0(f0 ' laborers to the s
camp job but the highest nutn- 4
ber working on any one day is j
1,0)00 Porter said. The camp
now has more carpenters than
lahororo of w/trt "
Roach corroborated the em- t
ployment manager's statement,
~ saying that the camp now has at
work roughly 900 laborers and
1,200 carpenters. s

377 STUDENTS REGISTER
AT SHAW UNIVERSITY
Raleigh, N. C? Feb. 16 ?
Three hundred and seventyseven
students have registered
for second semester courses at
Shaw University according to
announcement of the Shaw University
registrar on February 6
at the close of the second semester
registration period.
In spite of the induction of
many Shaw men into the armed
forces of the United States the
three per cent decrease in the
Shaw enrollment between the
first and scond semester represents
the small percentage loss
of students between semesters
in the past six years. Although
several students did withdraw
to enter the armed forces and
other pursuits the approximately
twenty-seven new second semester
students, nineteen of
whom had not attended Shaw before,
compensated for many of
those who dropped out. Indications
are, however, that the ratio
of men to women at Shaw
is almost one to 5.
