Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1951-09-07 Lewis O. Swingler Within the past year, much has teen done hi Memphis to elevate job standards, create better working conditions, for the citizenry, sponsor a placement service for handicapped persons—maintain high wage Standards—sponsor vocational guidance programs for high school students. Through the continuous efforts of the Negro Division of the Tennessee Department of Employment Security and the Memphis Urban League, many campaigns were begun which proved quite fruitful. During NEPH Week, the Employment Security Officer in conjunction with the League promoted a campaign for the placement of handicapped citizens which far surpassed any other city in the state. Committeemen made themselves a campaign chairman and made individual, calls, along with phone calls to private and public organizations. Employers were sold on the idea of keeping up the morale of the handicapped, but capable as veil as the normal and capable employee. With such aid, the former would become even better citizens with a true sense of belonging. The Security Office has thrust itself forward us a leader in community activities. Since it is the root and source of the major employment operations in Memphis, members of the organization have become integrated in vocational guidance programs sponsored throughout the city in the high schools. With its prime basis for existence wing creating and locating job openings and securing personnel for various placements, the Office has joined hands with the League to give special attention to rural workers, veterans (out of state and rural). During the recent rush for clerk typists and stenographers for jobs with the. War Department in Washington D. C., the two branches carried on a two week city wide campaign in June. The Tennessee Department of Employment Security, recently announced job openings for: construction laborers (75 to $1.10 per hour) wool pressers, truck drivers, delivery boys, warehouse laborers, service station attendants yard helpers and porters; requiring experience are the following openings: stock girls (linen supply), maids and cooks, silk end wool pressers, hand steam iron pressers (cotton garments), window trimmers (dress shop,) and short order cooks. This is one of the many services by State Agencies without charge to employer or employee. Those seeking employment may apply at any date at the Security cilice, 199 So. Second Street. Veterans are given special attention at the Employment Office. Through law, the Security office is required to select first for referral a disabled, veteran if qualified; if none are available then a veteran; then a non-veteran. During the month cf June, the following tabulations were made from the white employment office and the Negro office. Male placements for white, 736; veteran place ments, 321; handicapped veterans placements, 72; in the Negro Security Office, male placements, 1766; veteran placements. 900; handicapped veteran placements 260. Figures show that the Employment Office for Negroes is on the job—both with veterans and handicapped veterans. But in order to continue to succeed, there is much that each citizen whether employee ot employer can do to make available the type of working cooperation which is neewed in our type of economy. During National Handicapped Week note the veterans and especially handicapped vets who are lacking employment. Submit their names and addresses to the Urban League office or the office of Employment Security. Employers can help by making possible jobs which require skill and experience, but which may be filled by a disabled man. This should be the task of each and everyone in this area. Since Memphis is known for cooperation, and many firsts, continue to have a high standard of employment by supporting the Employment Security Office.

Grand Jury To Probe Faked Confessions Sunflower County (Indianola, Miss) Grand Jury was recently impaneled to investigate the beating of four Negroes in the county Jail last July. The 20-man-jury was given only a routine charge, with no specific reference to any case. One of the jurors is L. O. Sheffield, brother or Deputy Homer Sheffield, who was relieved of his duty in connection with the beatings He, along with private detective C. R. Underwood, made the men confess to a murder which was never committed. The case forementioned involved the beating or Jesse Davis, Jr.; Amos C. Redmond; Jesse James, Jr., and Willie Galloway for the alleged murder of Robert McKinney, who was surprised to hear about his murder. According to reports by Sheriff George Marshall of Sunflower County, the floggins took place without his knowledge. A letter from Last St. Louis, Ill., written by Mckinney to his mother, exposed the fake accusation. Deputy Sheriff Sheffield was relieved of his duties; while Private Detective Underwood was being investigated by the Chicago police department for not reporting to his probation office after having served time for robbery GLENMORE...ITS GREAT IT'S STRAIGHT Glenmore KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY Bottled by GLENMORE DISTILLERIES COMPANY MORE AND MORE ASK FOR GLENMORE GLENMORE DISTILLERIES COMPANY • LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Old Sycamore On Sale Now At Your Favorite Liquor Store You can final all the famous and nationally known brands of whiskeys, wines, gins and cordials including Old Sycamore, which is fast becoming popular among the people of Memphis.
