PUBLIC IS USING
lob OFFICE HERE
Mr.. Burwell Urges That
Calls Be Made on Him
When Help Is Desired

Increased use of the State-Federal
employment office here is being made
by the public, according to a state
ment today by w. M. Burwell, the
manager He said he had on file the
names of a large number OF tndtvi-
duals desiring work. and urged those
needing help in any line to make use
of the government service, which Is
without cost to either the employer or
the unemployed. The following state
ment was issued from the office to-
day:
Mr.. Burwell states that the articles
appearing in the Daily Dispatch from
time 70 time. asking those III need OF
different kinds of workers, to call the
employment office for help, Is having
the desired effect, and that his office
is now having numerous calls for
cooks, house girls, and other help, not
only coming from those needing help
In Henderson, but from surrounding
towns and distant cities.
ut is very gratifying to know that
the public is beginning to realize the
benefits Of q free employment service,
and each day we see few more pcC-
pie in need Of employment placed in
good jobs. and we often have calls
from satisfied users of the service,
thanking us for our selections OF a
cook and other workers, whom we
have placed with them.
"Not always does the first person
sent on a job suit the employer as
it is almost impossible to fit every
worker in to any particular job but
because the first person sent doesn't
please, does not end the service we
render and others will be gladly sent
with no obligations on the part Of the
employer.
1T might ce interesting to the pub
lie to know that the City of Hender-
son and Vance Board Of County Com
missioners each appropriate monthly
a sum which about covers the inciden-
tai expenses of the office and this
gesture of public spirit by our own
officials goes a long way towards re-
tanning here the branch office of the
North Carolina State Employment
Service, which is partly supported by
the State through the Department of
Labor, and affiliated with the United
States Employment Service.

Worst in Years.
The storm was the worst blizzard
this community has felt in recent
years. After a day when skies were
CLOUDY most .of the time. the snow be-
gan falling rapidly just before S
o'clock Thursday afternoon. It con-
tinued. without interruption all night
and until mid-morning today. Several
times before the noon hour, the sun
Broke through the heavy clouds for
brief intervals, but did not remain,
and during the afternoon there were
indications of further snow. The fore
cast was for cloudy and colder wealth
err tonight, but not for snow or rain.
Nothing resembling a food short
age existed in Henderson, but grocery
establishments made deliveries only
with the greatest difficulty, as they
had trouble in getting trucks through
snoW-chOked streets Unlike some
western communities. where the win
ter has been even more severe the
past two weeks than here, there was
no coal shortage in this community,
but there have been times when the
supply was more generous than now.
Even pedestrians moved about with
difficulty, and shoe stores experienced
an increased demand for rubber foot
wear v s. d -
During the afternoon the wind be-
gan TO; pick up, and. evidences of a
falling ;rnercufy were seen. Snow dur

Motor accidents are few, due. at
least in part. to the fact that very
few cars could move in the heavy
drifts. Many car owners made no ell
fort to Get their machines out Of gar
ages and fought then way atoot to
their places Of business.
State highway crews were quickly
on the job in the early morning and
cleared the snow from the main thor
ouehfares as rapidly as possible.
Street department crews went to work
in the city digging out wallIways and
streets and III the business section
merchants shoycled snow off the side
walks in front of their establishments.
There was little interference with
wire services, since the snow was OF
the fine granny kind that did not
stick except on flat surfaces.
The traffic tie-up and the paralysis
of business was the most serious eX-
perienced here in years.
Schools Forced To Suspend.
Operation of the schools proved inn
possible both in the city and in the
county. Very few teachers ventured
out to get to their class rooms, and
ut the Henderson high school not
more than around dozen students
reported only one of them being
girl. Buses could not move at all in
the rural sections, and there was no
attempt to run the country shcoolS.
Mail Deliveries Halted.
Rural letter carriers could not push
their cars through the deep snow and
fears of haevy drifts, especially off
the main highways, held them at
home It was the first time in years
it has been impossible for the car
ricrs to make their rounds. They were
hoping to get through during the aft
crnoon but shortly after the midday
hour it appeared such an attempt
would be absolutely futile. A morning
delivery Of mail was made in the bust
ness section, but none was attempted

A further effort TO get about was
planned by the city carriers for the
afternoon.
Some night and carly morning bus
runs were az andoncd as highways
were choked with snow. Bus author

ules later in the day.

Evidently in many cases it is
not.
From what many perplexed
girls tell me, and also, may as
well admit, from the observation
of a lifetime on my own part-it
is clear that the personal end of
a job is often harder to swing
than the work itself!
Here is where your born diplo-
matist, the girl with whom tact
is a native quality, comes into her
own - and where the honest,
blunt perhaps a little Self-cen-
tered young woman often loses
out.
One young job-holder, new to
the business world, has written me
in despair about this very thing.
She is too much interested in her
work, she amusingly complains.
She needs all her time to attend
to it properly. And yet she is
gradually realizing that if she is
to be q success she cannot en-
tirely ignore the matter of office
politics. The poor child signs her
self 'TactleSs," and I know she
wept when she wrote the letter.
OFFICE JEALOUSY
Zone day last week." she writes,
"tke boss secretary took me out
tn lunch. And did she rive me a
whole high school course inside
Of half an hour! 1 know she likes
me, or she wouldn't have done it.
But gee!
"It seems that most Of the peO.
pie in this office don't like each
other, and especially they don't
like anybody new, if the person is
a girl and sort Of young and not
exactly hOmely.
$50 / have to watch my step,
and be terribly nice and polite to
all these danes who would like
to knife me-in fact, treat every
one Of them as If she were the
boss wife. Then 1 mustn't ever
listen to anything personal, or re-
peat anything. And this is only
the beginning.
perhaps the most serious thing
is that there's boy in the office
who likes me and shows it.. Well,
I've had to clamp right down on
that. The reason is that there's

an older girl who's jealous, and it
seems she could do me out Of q
job any day. There's lots more of
it. Altogether, 1 have the jitters.
"My mother always taught me
to tell the truth and be honest,
but / don't know a thing about this
thing they call tact. And just be-
cause / know I shall always be q
failure in office politics, have 1
got to be a failure in business,
too? Don't you think it's pretty
hard?"
Well, yes, do think so.
SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
At the same time, the situation
In an office resembles that in
many other groups which this girl
all girls-will encounter later
in life. And it is no doubt desira-
BILE to learn while one is young
even if it is rather diSillusioning
how to accommodate oneself to
group life.
Jealousy, selfishness, unkind-
ness-oh, yes, they're all there!
But "TactleSs" will have to
remember that the only thing the
matter with these people whose
associate she has become is that
at bottom they are desperately
afraid of losing their jobs-just,
Of course, as she is. Also. it's
human to resent a pretty girls
conquest of a youth whom you
yourself haven't been able to cap
tivate.
I don't want her to learn to be
a hypocrite, or how to fawn on
people whose help may be useful
to her. That would be a tragic
fate for a sweet, straightforward
girl.
But if she will try to pump UP
as much human sympathy as she
can for these people who are
fighting for life and perhaps get
ting a little soured in the process:
and if she will, from 8 to S,
cheerfully suppress her own tastes
and preferences-I don't see that
this will injure her any and it will
be one way of playing office
politics." May she achieve sue
cess!
