Shuford Calls For Minors to Return to School
North Carolina labor Commissioner Forrest H. Shuford urged public and private groups to push for minors no longer employed to quit the workshop and return to school. He cited 63,478 minors receiving sewing certificates last year and over 31,000 in the first half of this year, with 11,000 in June, and warned that postwar job cuts mean education is essential for future employment. He pressed parents and employers to share responsibility to prevent uneducated, unskilled labor from harming long term prospects. A side note says one in five beer bottles made in early 1945 were beer bottles.
