Oil Prices Go Up,
 City Not Affected
Increase in Fuel and Range Products Hits Hartford
 TO-day-FOOws Definite Advance in Country

Price increases for fuel and range oil. which became effective in Hartford and other parts of the east this morning, did not hit Wa terbury to-day. Edward B. Me- Elligott of the McElligott Oil company, the Southern New Eng land Oil company and other large concerns handling the product stated when intervewed that they were not in receipt of any infor- nation directing or advising an ad- vance in prices.
 In Hartford and other parts of the east the price of range oil this morning jumped from 8 to 8R cents per gallon. The cost of fuel oil jumped from 6h to 6% cents a gallon. The in- crease was in line with a definite advance in the country generally. MT McElligott pointed out to- day that the cost of fuel oil on the market in New York went up a half cent per gall lon. He also explained that range oil is growing very scarce due to governmental regulations on pro- duction. MT McElligott explained that while there has been no in- crease ordered here as yet 1t is like ly that one will possibly be adopt ed. At the office of the South ern New England Oil company 1t was explained that price increases are many times ordered on a five minute notice.

A consistent improvement

A consistent improvement in employment conditions, especially noticeable in the women's depart ment, was reported today by Arthur J. Collins, manager of the State Employment Service on State street following a complete check of the active files.
 According ito statistics compiled for women registrants in the com mercial and professional groups, approximately 60 per cent of the number Of registrants in these oc- equations have secured employ ment. Efforts are being made at the local office to induce all un- employed business women to regis ter, so that the service rendered employers will be prompt and ef- ficient.
 Domestic Help.
 Another index Of improving conditions, MT Collins said, is the increasing number of orders for domestic help The demand for this class of experienced worker is al- ways greater than the supply.
 Many persons eligible for em- ployment in the commercial and professional field have failed to take advantage of the service," Mir Collins said. These people seem to be under the impression that the state employment bureau was instituted solely to care for unskilled labor. We are making every effort to correct this misap- prehension."
 Other false impressions exist in regard to the nature of the service. especially among employers of factory help, MT Collins declared.

High Schools in County to
Have Chance to Earn
Good Materials

Under the terms of a plan just
announced by State Superintend-
ont Clyde Erwin, the high schools
in this county will have the OPP
portunity this spring to earn a
supply of valuable governmental
materials prepared By the mstl-
tute of government and accumu-
late funds for their libraries at
the same time.
The result may be that North
Carolina schools soon will be
teaching government in action in
instead of the conventional gov
eminent in books. For the insti-
tute of government staff works
on the theory that about rs per
cent of governmental knowledge
is to be found in the heads of
the officials and the methods and
practices of their offices, and
not in the books.

ton and acclaim both at home
ard abroad. "The institute of
government, as conceived and es-
tablished in North Carolina"
said President Roosevelt, ''has
and will render fine service to
the state and nation. 1t is my
hope that other states viii recog-
nize North Cardinals leadership
and that states having no COM
parable agency will accept and
follow its lead"
By way Of explanation, the in
stitute is comprised of some %
organizations of public officials
and around % citizens groups.
The organization is unique in
that it marks the first time that
officials have come together with
leading citizens in a joint effort
to make comparative studies of
their government, with a view to
effecting improvements and eco
Monies.
The enterprise is non-partisan
and non-profit in nature. A staff
of six trained men is employed,
and offices are maintained in Ra-
leigh and Chapel Hill.
The Institutes projects include,
in addition to the school ma
terials, the preparation of guide
books for officials, Legislative
bulletins, and study and discus
sion programs; the conduct of
demonstration offices and schools
of officials and the publication
of the monthly magazine, "Pop-

The school materials have been

the institute was invited by the
state department of public in
struction and the North Carolina
Education association three years
ago, to help the schools meet the
long-felt need for materials on
the actual structure and work
ings of the government of the
state and its subdivisions. The
studies have since been recon-
mended for use in the schools by
both the state textbook commits
SION and curriculum revision COM
mittee.
1t was the late DR.. A. T. Allen
who suggested that the schools

the materials, but itrem aimed
for his successor as state SUPER
intendent, Clyde Erwin. to work
out the details of the plan. This,
briefly, is to give the schools one
subscription to Popular Govern
ment" and the supplementary
materials of the institute for
each membership secured by one
OF its students, with a commits
sion on surplus memberships to
be used for library funds.
