EMPLOYMENT IN
 NEW ENGLAND
John J. Tinsley Forecasts Marked Industrial Growth
 in Statement To-day
THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT

Boston, Jan 16-The time has come for New England communities to keep adequate employment rec ords if they would have the informa- tion by which progress may be made toward diminishing unemployment, declared John r. Tinsley, chairman of the community development com mittee of the New England council, in statement here to-day.
 While forecasting marked indus trial growth in New England in the next twenty years, Chairman Tinsley declared htat such a healthy devel- opment was no indication that either short or long time employment prob lems would be solved thereby.
 "The committee on community development of the New England council estimates that opportunities for employment in New England in 1850 will be increased by about L. 100000 more jobs," MT Tinsley's statement said. This forecast is base dlargely on the results of the economic surveys of the New Eng land Telephone & Telegraph com pany and the Southern New Eng land Telephone company.
 However, the probabilities of such healthy growth in these six states here not an indication of the solution of either the short time or long times problems of unemploy- ment. No community can effective ly deal with it's employment problem without definite knowledge of the eX- tent and causes of local unemploy- ment. The committee on community development of the New England council therefore recommends that every industrial city and town in New England develop and maintain an accurate curret record or index of the degree of employment, and that they organize immediately to study locally the causes and effects of seasonal, technological, and cycli- cal unemployment.
 Manufacturing industry is the largest employer in New England Over half of all our income in New England is directly derived from manufacturing, and a large propor- tion is indirectly dependent upon it. It is estimated that 100000 new jobs will be created in this field during the next twenty years. Upon this increase largely depends the creation Of 600,O00 other jobs.
 "It is therefore important that New England communities analyze closely their economic advantages and disadvantages, so that they may improve conditions in which indus- try must operate; so that they may be more helpful to existing manu- lecturers. and so that theyq may be able to increase new industrial activ- ity along lines promising the great est opportunities for profit"

N0lle Charge
 Against Pasquale
Illegal Possession of Gun Was Complaint Against
 Him

A nolle was recommended and granted today in the case of Joseph Pasquale, 22, of IA North Elm stret, who was charged with illegal possession of a revolver. Pasquale is an alien and according to some in- terpretations of the law is not en- titled to such a privilege. Several aliens have been brought into court and deprived of shot guns, it being the contention of the police that the weapons were bought for hunting purposes. In Pasquale's case, how ever, it was claimed that he is a storekeepre and secured the gun as protection against bandits.
 Someone tipped off the police that Pasquale had a gun. Patrolmen Pat rick Moylan and Fred Hickey of the emergency squad visited Pas quale's store and found the gun con- cealed in radio cabinet.
 The state. however, was inclined to the opinion that if Pasquale keeps the gun in the store for protection sake, it Would not be a serious vio- lation of the law. The charge was nolled.
 Albert Mucci, 19, of 133 South Elm street paid $5 for passing red light.

STILL MAKING WHISKY

Mexico City.-The United States is still making whisky for popular consumption. but not within its own boundaries. Many of the huge dis tilleries of pre-Volstead days which functioned in the States are now operating in Mexico.

Bicycle Left at
 Fulton Park

A perfectly good bicycle awaits the youngster who left it adjoining the Fulton park pavilion. He may have it by applying to William Derwin, in charge of the pavilion, and iden- tifying the same.
 One morning, the policeman who patrols the park reported to MT Derwin that he had found the bicy- cle, buried in the last snowfall and locked so that it had to be carried to the pavilion.
 It was evidently left there by some boy who had come to the park 10 skate and probably forgotten that he had ridden to the park.
