LARGE NUMBER WANT WORK
Registration in First Week Brings
Flood CT Unemployed


At the end of the first full weel
of operation for the National Re
employment Office for Sussex county
on last Tuesday over 500 unemploy-
ed had registered, chiefly from the
west side of the county. Seaford
leads in number of applications for
employment, with Laurel closely
following. The great number of
men who have been required in
Laurel to do repair work originat-
ing from the recent storm damage
indicates the probability that the
number not regularly employed
there would be equally as great as
that in Seaford. The registration
so far could not be fairly said to
give an accurate picture of the en-
ployment situation in the county,
even on the. west side, where the
employment Office has held sittings.
Applicants from other parts of the
county have come into the Office at
Georgetown but the result of sit
tings in other parts of the county
that have been made are not yet
available.
The Sussex county manager,
Vaughan A. Hastings, lays stress
on the fact that the only purpose of
the Re-employment Office is to find
work for the unemployed. No
preferences will be exercised in any
case in the matter of recommending
employment on any basis except as
provided by law in favor of vet
Grams. In all other cases the exer-
else of performance in hiring by the
employer, or in accepting a job by
the individual, will rest between the
employer and the prospective en-
ploye.
In some cases persons who are
already employed are registering as
unemployed-even giving up jobs in
the hope that this Office will provide
them something bigger and better.
Mr.. Hastings strongly advises
against any persons following such
an uncertain procedure; in fact will
sharply discourage any such course
of action whenever it may come to
his personal attention. 1t Is not in
keeping with the spirit or policy of
the Unemployment Organization, is
unfair to those who are really un-
employed, and to the employer.
Applicants so far have been of all
degrees of qualifications in several
of the professions and trades. Pri-
vate, municipal, county and state
employers are entitled to free use
of the service and almost any type
of worker is available.
Beginning Saturday. September
10th, registrations will be made
daily from $50 a. m. to 1890 p. m.
only. The schedule of sittings
which has already been announced
up to Monday, September 18th, at
Lewes, will be continued as follows:
Millsboro, Tuesday, Sept. 10, from
10 a. m. to p. M, Dagsboro,
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 10 a. m. to 4

Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Heller and

Mr.. Heller said the people of
st. Petersburg were we'll satisfied
with the number Of tourists there
this winter although prices for
accommodations were extremely
low. Much real property was
sold at fractions of the original
cost, he said, and this deflation
in values is one of the most seri-
Gus handicaps to the city and
state. Mr.. Heller spends about
six months Of each year in Hen
Jacksonville and he said today that
he regards this as much his home

PEIPING, China, April 10
(UP).-The lives of 200 Ameri-
can high school pupils and teach
ers were endangered yesterday
when Japanese planes bombed the
village of Tungehow, just outside
Peiping. 80 81
. Bombs landed near boarding
school at Tungchow. located ten
miles east of Peiping. reports to
the authorities declared.
The pupils are sent t o the
boarding school from all over
China by American parents sta
toned in the Orient. for prepare
tory training for colleges in the
United States. They, as well aS
their teachers. and % adult Uni
ted States missionary residents
were under fire during the raid.
However, no casualties among
the Americans were reported.
Nevertheless, the raid so near
Peiping and at another town
where American lives and prop
erty are concentrated aroused for
eigners to a new pitch of indig-
nation as the Japanese advance
moved southwark below the Great
Wall toward Peiping and Tientsin.
Tungchow is astride the strate-
gic highway linking Peiping and
Shanhaikwan, on the sea at the
Great Wall, captured last January
by the Japanese prior to their
seizure of Jehol province.
The United States minister,
Nelson T. Johnson, said he was
considering further protective
measures in the event the Japa-
nese air raids continue. The
school at Tungchow is a joint en-
terprise operated by the Presby-
terians and Brethren of the
American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions.
The bombing followed similar
action by the japanese recently
over Changli, where American
mission property is located. So
far. no loss of life or property
damage as far as United States
nationals or interests are con-
cerr:ed has been reported, but the
United States diplomatic and mill
itary authorities are keeping III
close touch day and night with
developments.
A new and anti-foreign note in
the japanese invasion of China
proper is also arousing interest in
foreign quarters. The Chinese
