URGES WORKERS
TO REGISTER
An appeal to workers throughout
Georgia to register at once with the
nearest State employment office was
issued today by Hon. Ben T. Huiet,
Commissioner of the State Depart¬
ment of latbor.
He said that by April 15 the Geor¬
gia State Employment Service hopes
to find out exactly how many workers
in the State are available for jobs or
training in occupations needed by de¬
fense industries and other types of
business now expanding. “This regi¬
stration is being conducted on a na¬
tion-wide scale,” he explained, “as
part of the national defense program
and is designed not only to get the
unemployed back to work as quickly
as possible, but also to insure that as
soon as workers are needed in defense
production they can be reached with¬
out delay.”
He particularly appealed for the
immediate registration of: 1. All
workers in Georgia who are unem¬
ployed and capable of holding jobs,
and; 2. All employed persons in the
State who have had experience in the
following trades but whose present
employment does not utilize the skills
of these trades: In aircraft manu¬
facturing—airplane sheet metal work¬
ers, airplane woodworkers, aero¬
nautical engineers, and inspectors; in
shipbuilding ship carpenters, lofts
men, boatbuilders, ship fitters, caulk¬
ers, and marine machinists; in
machine shops and machinery manu¬
facturing—machinists, tool makers,
die makers, lathe operators, and tool
designers.
The employment service does not
encourage or desire workers who are
employed in any of the above in¬
dustries to register.
Mr. Huiet said that the Georgia
State Employment Service, as well
as the employment service of every
other State has been asked by the
Federal Government to push this
registration as a means of speeding
up production of defense materials
and also to insure that other types of
business will not suffer for lack of
workers. He pointed out that all
State employment services are affili¬
ated with the United States Employ¬
ment Service which iuts been desig¬
nated as the official agency to supply
workers for defense production. In
this connection, he called attention
to a letter recently sent to all busi¬
ness organizations with defense con¬
tracts by William Knudsen, director
of the Office of Production Manage¬
ment, the federal agency in charge
of defense production. “The letter,”
he said, “urged these employers to
get their workers through local State
employment offices.”
"Utilization of local offices of State
employment services by workers and
employers,” Mr. Huiet stated, “is the

BEING ENJOYED IN
70,000 FARM HOMES
Some 70,000 Georgia rural homes
are today enjoying the benefits of
electric service being furnished
through a network of power poles and
wires stretching over thousands of
miles of hills and dales throughout the
*
Calhoun, ’ rural electrification
Specialist for the Extension Service,
points OUt that this number of farm
homes represents an increase of 20,
000 over last year. Some 50,000
homes are receiving power through
-financed systems, while com
companies are supplying ener
gized lines to the remaining 20,000.
Over If) million dollars have been
loaned to the 43 REA-financed co
operatives m *u the state f for tne con
«
strUCtlOH ot rtirfll lines alone, -Ml.
Calhoun asserted. Upon completion
of ]jne cons truction for which allot
ments have already been made, the
number of homes being benefited by
gJectric service will be greatly in
creased, he added.
Recent expansion of electricity to
Georgia farmers has meant a vast
increase : in uses of electrical appli¬
ances, the Extension rural electrifiea
tion specialist explained. He said
many 4-H club boys and other rural
method which the Office of Produc¬
tion Management had determined
upon as the most efficient and orderly
of quickly getting jobs for the
unemployed and supplying employers
with the workers they need in the
emergency.’
“That means,” he said, “that if a
is registered with his local
State employment office, he will have
best chance at the jobs in his line
are opening up daily all over
country, not only , in defense . _ pro¬
duction but in other expanding in
He can also get information
about the many types of training
courses which have been set up to
equip workers for jobs in defense
industries.”
S. A. Kelly, field representative of
the Macon office of the state employ¬
ment service will be in Fort Valley at
the court house every other Tuesday
for the purpose of registering work¬
ers and handling other activities for
the Macon office of the employment
service, since Peach county is in its
territory.

Mr. Calhoun said. "The increase in

boost of net income and living con¬

“If electric service continues to in¬
