 In connection with the WPA, Manager Shea stated that there are no more placements made at the employment office. The work Is handled through the welfare de- partment. The chart shows, how ever, that when the local office was taking care of WPA placements there were 42l in November, 1885, and only 87 in May, l936. These figures, together with the fact that the Employment Ofilce had the WPA taken away from It's files. clearly show that the need for the WPA is not as necessary as 1t was @ year ago.
 Registrations
 The last item on the chart is Q line which shows the registration. This line is more or less even, ex- cept for Q high point of l,l2e new registrations handled in July, 1885, when all persons being transferred from EZRA to WPA had to have their names registered ct the local employment office.
 The picture, as 1t stands now, is c lot more cheerful than 1t was In January 1895. The l50,000 people in the Waterbury area, which in- cludes seventeen neighboring towns. are obviously deriving benefits Of getting work through the medium of the state employment office.

Chart Changes Record
 Gains In Employment
State Employment Service Keeps Daily Check on Fed- eral, Private Demands for Help-Ups-Downs Study

When Manager Thomas I. Shea, head of the local oftice of the Connecticut State Employment Ser. vice contemplated Q chart compiled at his ofiice recently, the figures give him ample reason to smile sat- isfactorily. The chart represents figures of the four different phases of the work done at the ofi1ce since January, l935, and clearly indicates that private placements are defin- itely on the upswing.
 Looking back into January, 1895, 1t can be observed that there were only 76 private placements made. The September report for l036, which speaks for itself, shows @ total of 4o2 private placements that month.
 Comparative Figures
 Just below there is 6 line which, defined by the compiler of this new pulse of the local employment office, Ralph MacKay, is known as the proportion of total private erl- ployments in the state, normal to Waterbury. Way back in January 1885 the figure arrived at as an average for the local ofilce was 30 private placements per month. AS indicated in the foregoing para graph. Waterbury had only 75. They were ten below the average. Last months figures show a total of 402 private placements and the average is listed as 224. Increased demand for workers has enabled them to get more people jobs since the be- ginning of this year. The manager has Q right to smile.
 Up-Down
 Tn proportion with the rise in placement figures the PWA figures show c decline. In July, l936 there were l82 persons placed on PWA projects. The reports for Septem- Der, l936 show that 16o men were placed. The decline has not been tremendous. but the tendency has been to lower the figure at steady
