a hae Chase inmates to train for carpet laying trade An innovative program to train 12 inmates from the State Correctional Institution at Chase as carpet layers has been announced by the U.S. Depart- ments of Labor and Health, Ed- ° ucation and Welfare. According to Frank Johnston, superintendent of the Institu- tion, the program is actually a continuation of a similar project ‘initiated last year, and the $12,851 allocated by the Federal government for the 52-week training course is a re-issue of a grant made in 1970. Last year, Mr. Johnston told The Post, 12 inmates completed the carpet laying program. All of the trainees have since been released from prison, the super- intendent said, although he has no way of knowing whether or not they are now employed in the carpet laying trade. Joe Kirkbride, a representa- tive of the U.S. Department of Labor in Philadelphia, reported to ¥ Post that “the training of offefiders represents a major thrust by the Dept. of Labor to ease the return of inmates back into society.” While the bulk of the department’s activity remains oriented toward the jobless and disadvantaged, training pro- grams similar to the carpet laying course at Chase repre- sent a ‘‘modest effort” to aid prisoners, Mr. Kirkbride said. Other job training projects funded by the Dept. of Labor include a pre-apprenticeship program in construction at the Federal penitentiary in Wala Wala, Wash., a small appliance repair course and a pressman- trainee course in one Maryland prison. ; Superintendent Johnston reports that the current carpet laying program will begin July 1. The trainees selected for the course must have at least one year left to serve at the in- stitution and must be from or willing to settle in an area where carpet laying skills are in demand. Additionally, prospec- tive candidates are interviewed by the Dept. of Labor to deter- mine motivation and are re- quired to take mechanical apti- tude tests. The year-long program in- cludes courses in mathematics necessary for estimating jobs, studies in interpersonal rela- tionships, and courses in the mechanical aspects of carpet cutting and fitting. Graduates of the course are assisted by the Pennsylvania State Employment Service in locating suitable employment for utilizing their new skills, al- though Mr. Johnston suggested that there had not been suffic- ient cooperation with all the agencies involved last year to effect a truly satisfactory placement service. He expects a smoother operation in that respect in 1972. Mr. Johnston was quick to point out that while this federal- ly funded pilot program in- volves only 12 persons, the insti- tution has for many years main- tained correctional industries programs which involve ‘‘everyone sufficiently able- bodied to be engaged in mean- ingful work opportunities.” Dallas resident named Acme division manager Donald Kohler, Dallas, has been named manager for the Wilkes-Barre division of Acme Maggkets, Inc., Philadelphia, according to James A.
