Shipyard Welding Shop
Training Starts Here
Opening of a new national defense shop for shipyard electric
welding training was announced Saturday by C. A. Guderian,
Salem training coordinator. The shop, probably to begin ope
ration Wednesday, is located in the block between Liberty and
Commercial streets on the alley
connecting State and Ferry streets.
Four shifts of 20 men each are
to be run each day to meet the
demand from shipyards, especially
in Portland. The shop is in addi
tion to the 60 men now under
training at Salem high school and
Chemawa.
Application for entrance must
be made at the Salem office of
the state employment service.
An application blank which
may be mailed or taken to the
office is provided at the bottom
of page 1.
Most desirable, according to
Guderian, are men wbft have had
some experience in welding or in
allied work, as they can qualify
sooner for employment. All train
ees are to be given a two-weeks'
period of trial for capacity. The
