Everybody is invited to attend the service. may be available on short notice tor jobs that are breaking fre quently. The office here serves five counties, Wilkes, Alleghany. Ashe, Watauga and Alexander and is planned to be of service, not only to the jobless, but to jn- dustries and individuals in need of workmen in any trades. Therefore it is essential, it was pointed out today by J. B. Hash, that a full registration of skilled workers be kept at all times in order that the service may be of most lienefit possible: to both the unemployed and Industry. Re cently the re-employment service in the state had a call for twen ty bricklayers and the local of fice was able to furnish two of that number. More recently a call was received from a pied mont city for a number of car penters. Although the re-employment service was started to take care of placements for the CWA, the need of a public service of this kind w-a.s seen and the offices were continued for a period -of of a year as a public institution tor people In need Jo for em'ployers in need of work men. The State Employment Service made a total of 3,753 placements during the period from October 5th through October 19lh. Mrs. .May Thompson Evans, Director, announced today. An encourag ing sign is apparent in the fact that a decided increase In place ments is shown by a comparison with the previous reports. Of thd* total for the present period, re lief placements totalled 838. While the Service has filled 3,- 753 jobs during the period, 5,- 003 new applicanLs were added to the files leaving the active balance not greatly changed. The active balance now shows a total of 185,653 unemployed persons in North Carolina, 131,640 being men and 54,013 being women. “The Service,” Mrs. Evans stat ed, “is most anxious to have eni- ployer.s of any and all types of labor use its files when looking for workers. Old employees may be contacted, new workers may be found and skilled workers can be had at any time on short notice. While the public general ly is using the Service more and more, there are many citizens who do not fully understand its purposes and the extent to which it can help both the unemployed and the employer. Government statistics are collected by the Service and WPA jobs are sup plied labor from its files. But it is the private employer, looking for laborers, who is urged to acquaint himself with the Serv ice.’’ Mrs. Finley Starts Ballroom Dancing Class Mrs. Wheat Fanners to Meet November 5 At Courthouse in Wilkesboro to Sign Corn Reduction Conti-acts For Year On Aj^roved R.
