beginning jobs, so beginners must start at the junior level.” The effect of all this upon Negro employment is catastrophic, especially when you consider that “there are now 22,000 unemployed (over-all) in Indianapolis, the highest in many years,” according to Hatcher. BOTH THE HOME and the schools are falling down on their task of preparing Negro young people for jobs in the world of automation, the Merit Employment director said. He urged the individual youth to take it upon himself to get the necessary education through the public library and other facilities. Mr. Hatcher pointed out the work of his agency is no solution for the problem of mass unemployment. Yet the Association has an impressive record of accomplishment in placing young Negroes in “new” occupations. “Our number of applicants placed has increased from 18 in 1953 to 120 this past year,”

he said.

“The biggest increase w r as last year. It compares with 70 the year before, and 46 the year before that. The rate of increase is pick-

ing up.“

ABOUT 25 YOUNG PEOPLE, who obtained positions through Merit, Employment, w'ere introduced at the dinner and made a highly favorable impression on the guests. They hold or are training for such posts as bank teller. IBM supervisor, insurance company clerical worker and supermarket

manager.

Though the numDers of employees are small as yet, it is obvious that many local employers are beginning to “see the light.”

I guess now the eyes of all Indianapolis are on me. I can imagine whal they must think and how they (Elsie’s friends.) must feel. But I loved my sister, I want them to know’ that, i don t have words to describe how I feel. I’d like to get away, but there’s no place to go in jail. Somehow, I’ve got to try and forget the past and live with myself. Nothing can bring Elsie back, but I’ve got to

, , . * ^ *4 *• go on praying and hoping. That’s

Ithere fa left to do. Everythin* seems like a weird nightmare, not

a part of me.

DURING THE DAY I’m alright, but during the night when I lie in the bed I start thinking about the beautiful life my sister had planned for herself — then I break

down again.

i city through the years.

Funeral rites for Mr. Baptiste have been scheduled for Thursday J morning at the First AME Church

My sister and I were always very close. We had petty arguments and things like that but we would always sit down and discuss our problems and try to help each other. I miss her very much. * * * Now, I find myself wanting to sleep, sleep, sleep. Sleep is an escape from reality — from the nagging persistence of the evil that haunts me—that I am responsible for my sister’s death. Sometimes, 1 lie awake at night and review my whole life and ask myself why just an ordinary person like myself, somebody who never thought of seeing his name and picture in the papers, should suddenly have been thrust so tragically and unwillingly into a limelight he never wanted. The answ r er came to me that night of March 2, but still I wonder. If I may I’d like to ask Elsie’s friends and everyore to pray for her soul. She was such a wonderful

sister.

I’ll never forget her as long as

1 live.
