Many of the young people peo-ple have been signed up for good paying Jobs in advance of graduation. gradua-tion. "There Is a particular shortage of trained men In the engineering field, and any young fellow coming out of engineering school In the next few years is assured of a useful life and a high salary. "It's all part of the modern Industrial In-dustrial development. New machines ma-chines and new techniques mean that there is less need for men and women without training and without with-out special skills, and more need for those who are trained in special skills or those who have special education. "That situation is going to continue con-tinue as far as anyone can see Into the future.
