Becanso travel over secondary roads has been practically Im possible during the past month, people of this section of the state have been prompted to ask why WPA labor cannot be used to carry out a mors .permanent type of road Improvement work that win more nearly assure all weather travel, especially over school bus and mall routes. Until recently a greater part of WPA labor on the roads was used In grading, ditch digging, etc., but little was done to place the roads In condition for regular travel In wet weather. In several mountain and bor derline counties, including Wilkes, WPA labor Is used mainly on roads, there being few other pro jects On which the men on WPA rolls are fitted tor work. This situation does not exist m many piedmont counties, where little or no road work Is done by WPA forces. WPA officials explain that rules and regulations of the Works Progress administration do not allow funds In any sub stantial amount to be used for materials or equipment. More work to place the roads In condi tion for all weather travel has not boon done, It la learned, bo« cause the state h*gh»*F-'«*mmfs- slon has not furnished adequate equipment, indludlng gravel trucks and rock crushers, to keep the WPA forces employed In this type of work. A better type ot road Improve ment work could be carried out, WPA officials say. If the state highway commission could fur nish more equipment. KNOXVILLE. Tenn . . .

With the use of these manuals interviewers will he able to ascertain more definitely the qualifications of au applicant for a job. This Is intended to Improve the service professionally. If an em ployer asks for a laborer who can do a specific kind of work Iho employment service by use of the occupational manual will be able to refer the man who Is best suited by training and ex perience to perform the desired tasks. This is especially benefi cial in classifying men for con struction work in Its many phas es. The training course will also enable Intervicw-ers to ascertain what other types of work are re lated to the various trades. If ail applicant cannot be placed under his primary classification the service is often able,to place . him in some similar kind of work for which he is suited. Mrs. G. E. Crowell, field rep resentative, has been assisting in the courses offered. James M. Anderson is head of the employ ment service In this district. Mr. Anderson said today that calls for skilled workers In vari ous trades continue to come In from various offices in the state and urged full registration of all skilled workers not now gainful ly employed. Recently there hare been calls for domestic help and those who desire this type of employment, either white or colored, would do well to keep their registratious in force.
