EMPLOYMENT GAINS REPORTED IN
MOST FLOYD-CHATTOOGA INDUSTRIES
Gains in employment have
been reported in practically all
industrial plants in the Floyd-
Chattooga County area, the ex
ceptions being in the garment
and hosiery industries,
A labor dispute at one of the
largest plants in the area is hav

other employers, especially re
tail trade. There are indications
of reduced employment in this
group if the condition exists for
an indefinite period.
Increases have been recorded
in the stove foundries, chenille
textile and furniture industries.
The recent 8 per’ cent increase in
wage rates among the textile
mills has caused a large number
of job seekers to apply directly
to these employers.
No concrete information is yet
available concerning the effect of
the peacetime draft of 19 to 25
year olds. A large percentage of
this age group are veterans of
World War II and at present it
appears that these will not be
immediately called for further
training unless they have had
less than 90 days previous mili
tary service. The military with
drawals from the labor market
will not begin until November- of
this year.
The resumption of school ac

were working were doing so dur-

IT COSTS so little to have your fire insurance ex

perils, that you can't afford to run the risk of
paying hundreds of dollars of your own money if
you have a loss, say, from a windstorm, or an ex

TIONAL EMPLOY THE PHYS
ICAL HANDICAPPED WEEK. Re
sults in the past from the public
ity given and + he efforts made
by all agencies and civic groups
to impress upon the employers
the importance of the handicap
