EIGHT Report Of State E Service Wilmington, Oct. 14.?A total of 3,607 placements were made during the period from September 21st through October 5th, according to the bi-monthly report of the N. C. State Employment Service. Of this number, 699 were Relief Placements. Placements for the preceding two weeks totalled 3,220. Registrations for the present period amounted to 6,368, having decreased over forty per cent of the registration mark for the preceeding period. The prior report showed 10,353 registrations. This decrease is largely I due to the fact that much of the relief registration has been com-, pleted. ; Re-registrations for this period' amounted to 1,743, and there | were 5,229 renewals. 9,189 can-J cellations were recorded. The to- j tal balance of unemployed is now! listed at 185,506, of which number 131,787 are men and 53,719 are women. The veteran's balance is 7,698. General business expansion has increased the demand for all clas- | sifications of skilled workers and | all unemployed skilled workers i * HI- 1U. are urged to register wiui me nearest district or branch office i of the N. C. State Employment Service as soon as possible. Calls are expected in the immediate j future for highly skilled workmen, steam fitters, plumbers, stone masons, cement finishers, plasterers, finish carpenters, pain-, ters and electricians. Such calls, are anticipated due to the impro- j ved conditions in general business and due to the fact that the majority of all placements by thej: Service are being made on pri-1 vate industry. The bi-monthly report for the j Wilmington District shows that a total of 148 placements were made for the period. Registrations totalled 281, re-registrations 81 and renewals 206. Eleven relief placements were recorded during this period. BIG ATTRACTIONS AT COASTAL FAIR (Continued from page One) a Midway which is far superior to that at Raleigh or in any other city I've visited this season. "And another thing", he con- ( tinued, "We're going to have a Midway free from the blight of cheap skate gambling devices. I know it will not be necessary, but I can promise you that if there's anything crooked about any concession or show on the Midway, I'll 'pull the light.' The Midway will be clean, if it has to be dark." j-i For the free acts the LaValley,: Diving Sensations and the Frank- : lin N. Y. Follies have been secured. The LaValleys are well and 1 favorably known throughout the entertainment world. The troupe, j composed of two women and |' three men, will present diving 1 thrills never before seen in this i section. , The "Follies" is a complete musical revue of high class per-1 formers. Working on a well-lit!1 stage, with special amplifiers which will make every word au- j: dible in every part of the fair grounds, the Franklins will pre-' sent singing, dancing and comedy I acts which can be seen only in J the highest class theatres. Entries in the 571 classes of ' the fair will be open until 10 ' o'clock Monday morning, Novem-1 ber 4, according to William A. j Peschau, secretary-treasurer of j the Coastal Fair, Incorporated, to whom all entries should be made on the printed forms which will be made available promptly upon application.

BIG INCREASE IN FOOD AND FEED CROPS IN STATE (Continued from page 1.) corn and hay, and about equally ) divided between the two. Nearly) half a million acres of wheat were J harvested in 1934 compared with | about 350,000 acres reported for[ 1929. Irish potatoes increased 52) per cent or about 32,000 acres, | and swet potatoes 85 per cent orj roughly 35,000 acres in the five-1 year period. Notwithstanding the great change in cash crops, cot- j ton and tobacco, a normal expan- j sion of acreage is indicated by I the increase of crop land harves-) ted from 5.809,741 five years ago' to 5,965,547. North Carolina showed a de-1 crease of about 20,000 in the j number of horses but little chan-j ge in the number of mules. To | utilize the increased supply of j corn, hay, and oats, there were 217,254, or 46.5 per cent more j cattle in 1935 than in 1930, of: which 124,753 were cows, and about 108,000 more hogs. In other principal points, the j report indicates North Carolina j followed the trend of the rest of 1 : ?< tne country wiui an mwicow wi 7.6 per cent, or 21,259 farms, an j increase in the land in farms of about 10 percent, but a decrease j in the gross value of 26 per cent. Of the increased number of farm operators, about 13,000 are full owners, 4,000 part owners and I less than 5,000 tenants. The 1935 figures in this report are preliminary, for selected items only, and subject to revis- > ion. Similar releases for all counties and states may be secured, free of charge, from the Bureau j of the Census, Washington, D. C., DEBT ADJUSTMENT WORK COMMENCES Continued from page one tion from the works relief fund J which was made by President Roosevelt on September 5, when the program was transferred from the Farm Credit Administration to the Resettlement Administration. Mr. Mask, in announcing Mr. < Scott's appointment, declared that it is the desire of the Resettlement Administration that thej volunteer state and county debt adjustment committees "be given proper supervision and aid so that the program will function j with maximum cooperation and effectiveness." "The members of these commit- ( tees," Mr. Mask said, "have in many cases given their time and services without remuneration j and often have paid their own expenses in an effort to save from foreclosure homes and property of debt-ridden farm neighbors. We plan to maintain these ! committees, taking steps to i strengthen them where necessary and, through the debt adjustment supervisory personnel, assist them in the settlement of I I WILMINGTON Thnra Fri Sat ?, ? _ _ _ -J Oct. 24-25-26 V % THE STATE 1 j debts of distressed farm people. "The voluntary farm debt adjustment project of the rural resettlement division is expected to be coordinated with all rural resettlement agencies and the fullj est co-operation should prevail at fall times. The farm debt adjustI ment program will have a very ! vital place in the rehabilitation jwork. With funds available to take care of necessary expenses, I there is every reason to believe I that the adjustment program will now take on added impetus." BURIAL FLAGS | FOR VETERANS , (Continued from page One) applicant to a burial flag. In view of the heavy penalty provided for fraudulent claims against the Government, it is hoped and believed that impositions will be few. Where the applicant is unable to furnish positive proof by j presentation of an honorable discharge or otherwise that the deceased veteran was honorbaly dis-1 charged from his last period of] war service, the Postmaster may accept the application and issue' a flag when statement is made j by a person of established char-1 acter and reputation that the veteran was personally known by such person to have been honor- i ably discharged from his last period of war sendee.
