This committee called on Council last

Public Safety Directors. So tonigh
was set for formal reception OF th'
protest by Council.
Since the meeting of the Centra
Labor Union another municipa
operation has been added to the twi

TO HUNT JOBS
FOR UNEMPLOYED

Manufacturers Association; John c.
saylor and Charles Raiston, repre-
senting the Central Labor Union.
Doctor Odell said frankly to the
Mayor that he would not conhne
himself merely to finding jobs for
men and women needing them, but
would try to create public sentiment
for new and necessary work. He in
stanced that Wilmington's schools
are in deplorable condition. Many
children of taxpayers are on half
time and are getting only one-half
the education their parents are pay
ing for, because of the lack of proper
school facilities.
After his experience in building
more than s1,0OO.OO worth OF
schools throughout the State, Doctor
Odell said he was convinced that
school buildings now can be built
more cheaply than at any time since
1913 and probably more cheaply
than at any time in the next five
years.
Sooner or later" said Doctor
Odell, Wilmington must build
schools to keep pace with facilities
for education in other cities. Why
not build them now. when prices ar,
low, and when thousands need em.
ployment?" he asked.
I Director Jones, Of the Unemploy
ment Service OF the Department o
Labor. visited Wilmington a fey
weeks ago and called on Mayor Har
vey with regard to establishing a
employment bureau In Wilmington
Since that time Mayor Harvey ha
been planning FOR such action an
the conference of today brought
to a head.
The mayor expressed himself a
delighted with the willingness o
Doctor Odell and the Service Citizen
to take upon themselves the wor
Of organizing such a bureau an

ferees, I'VE must create as muc
