Past Grand Matron M. L.
Ayers made an official visit to
Macon last week in interest of
the plans for the next Grand
Chapter session. She found
that the officers and members
are alert and will do everything
iate steps to emphasize the fact
among all possible sources of la-
bor and as a result received ap-
plications from Negro women
and hired them along with
whites to meet its needs.
The FEPC announcement also
cited the following adjustments
as typical of recent develop-
ments in its work.
A New England company ad-
yertising for an office worker,
included * certain stipulations
regarding religion. When the

ssr*£
its inclusion in the ad was a mis
take and that it would not hap¬
pen again.
When the representatives of
a New- York City firm doing
war work informed the United
States Employment Service that
it hired only Christian white
workers, the FEPC was notified
and took up the matter with
the company. As a result, the
firm, when it next had occasion
to hire, included both non¬
whites and non-Christians
among those employed.
An East Coast firm produc-
in 6 wa -r material, although de-
