MUST WORK OR F!GHT SAYS MAYOR OF OUMN Raleigh, June 16—Adoption of the t "work, fight, or jail" policy announced by Mayor Joe IN. Creel for his town of Dunn for the duration is expected to be general all over North Carolina and will materially increase recruit ment of workers for essential war production and providing help to plant, cultivate and harvest victory crops, it is stated tv Mrs. Gertrude K. Clinton, acting director of he Unit ed States Employment Service for North Carolina. Mrs. Clinton endorsed, almost in its entirety, Mayor Creel's statement that "there is no excuse for anybody not working now. Anybody who wants a job can find one. Not only that, the situation today is too serious for any body to be loafing. The efforts of every citizen in America are needed to win the war." "This fits in with the all-out and farm production effort," Mrs. Clinton said. "We are turning every stone to provide sufficient workers for the war camps, shipyards, airplane fac tories, as well as sufficient labor so the farmers can produce to supply food, feed, and oil crops for America 1 and her allies. If all city officials, as well as county authorities, take a iiun stand, similar to that of Dunn 3 mayor, our efforts will be materially _ aided and the war cause promotes." ' Mrs. Clinton cited that the feeling of officials and business interests that loss of workers to other areas means loss of business to a community is rapidly disappearing. Normally, if a worker goes into service elsewhere, his family remains at home and the most of his earnings are spe.*. at his place of residence, not whe.^ ne is at work. As an induction that employers are anxious *1 make what contribution possible to the war effort, Mrs. Clin ton states that one employer sa&gested that six experienced machi;..s.s long in his plant should be valuable in war plants and that their qualifications be considered for machine or engine assemblers. ' - ^ - "We have orders on file every day for 15,000 to 20,000 workers ranging common laborers to those with tne highest skills. We are filling them as rapidly as possible. The. desire for service among the people of the State is of great value in this war effort", said Mrs. Clinton. Giri Scouts To Discuss Camp Pians The Bryson City Girl Scout Troop No 1 will meet Tues., June 23, in the Home Economics department of Swain Hjgh school for the purpos of dis cussing plans for camp.
