Church Holds Quarterly Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting of
the local congregation was held in
the church parlors Monday evening
and was well attended. The secre-
tary's and treasurer's reports were
read and approved. incidentally the
treasurer's balance on hand was
down to $3.50 the LIST of July, so if
you have not paid your regular dues
or contributions it would be well to
do it now, it is urged.
The report from the church con-
ference showed a very favorable re-
suit; after some discussion it was
decided to give 500 to the national
treasurer, S25 to the congregation in
Granly, and the balance of the sur
plus applied to best advantage on out
standing old obligations. A net sum
of over $500 was realized from the
convention.
Carl Eriksen and S. Chr. DiXen,
delegates to the recent annual church
conference, rendered their reports,
and Rev. KnudSen also commented
briefly on events at the meeting. A
complete report on the entire national
conference will be available in few
weeks in book form.
The chairman extended thanks to
the Danish and English Ladies' Aids
for recent cash donations to the church
toward the purchase of individual
communion cups and for painting
the parsonage.
Refreshments were served after the
meeting as usual.

lection of job titles, specifications, and
classif1cations."
Cost Of Surveys.
1t cost only about $3.50 900 to make
the two recent surveys out of which
has been gathered what little informa-
ton about occupational classifcations
there is today. Merely counting the
unemployed is Of relatively little i'm
portance compared to finding out just
who the job-seekers are. Considering
that the Federal Government has spent
about 100000 900 for relief in the
last four years, it is nothing short
OF amazing that so little has been spent
in getting facts that can be useful.
There are plenty Of white collar appli-
cants on the rolls Of the U. S. employ
ment service who could help make
periodic reports on what the files
show as to the unemployed.
1t is just possible also that out of
the surveys and their data ways will
be found to place men and women in
jobs, which are waiting for them, but
about which they may happen not to
know because the machinery for bring
ing the applicant and the job together
is not so good when the job happens
to be farther away than 1000 miles by
train or bus,
Evening star., 1937-04-30

largest single group Of applicants is
shown as industrially unclassif1able
TT will be observed that more than
half of these industrially undesirable
applicants in both surveys had relief
status. This suggests that many Of
the older applicants in this group have
not been regularly employed for some
time, perhaps for years, except on
work projects and in a variety of tenn
porary employments. Frequent shifts
in the industry of employment are
characteristic of these persons. About
third of the industrially unclassified
applicants in each survey were wom-
en-, including quite large proportion
of married women without recent work
experience"
1t is apparent from the same report
that many farm applicants look every
year for out-of-season employment to
supplement farm incomes, that per-
sons under Is years of age are hav-
ing a harder time finding jobs than
persons between Is and As. Says the
official report of the Unemployment
Service:
The dearth of factual information
about occupations, in either Govern
ment publications or those of private
concerns, is a surprising and serious
gap in an important field. Nowhere

before the compilation was announced
Everybody knows that there are

1t is too much to expect that any

such an assignment.
Letter Tells Story.
Out Of the many hundreds of thou-
sands Of letters that come to Wash
ington every day might be cleaned
some information. Thus one letter
/ received today tells an interesting
story:
About seven years ago I put some
money into a small business. 1t drib-
bled along for about two years and
then began to make little money. 1t
made money in 1881. 1882, 1888 and
1884, broke even in 1885 and then in
1895, due to competitive conditions,
lost money, All during this time none
OF us took any dividends out of the
business. The manager who was part
owner, worked all this period for
very small salary because we felt that
all of the earnings must be put back
into the business.
The business is not big enough to
Bell stock or float a bond issue. And
then We took a look at the surplus
tax. saw the utter futility of trying to
continue to build the business out of
its own earnings, and we decided to
close up the company This business
started out with three employees and
now it is employing rs people who
will all be out Of Jobs"
Call Instance Typical.
Undoubtedly this instance is typical
Of many small business which must
find capital for expansion out of its
own earnings Says my informant:
The purpose of the surplus tax
may have been laudable, but the way
the law has worked out I believe it
will tend to maintain big companies
in position of permanent monopolis-
tic security and will freeze out the
little fellow"
How many Of these instances are
there? And what other factors are
blocking unemployment? The United
States Employment Service itself says
in recent bulletin:
Important as 1t is to get a COM
plete picture of the unemployed at
given date, it is of equal Importance
to secure current information with
respect to the changes which are TAX
ing place"
The United States Employment
Service is a very efficient institution
and 1t is run by very efficient man,
w. Frank Persons who keeps out of
the limelight and does his job. The
service has just completed two very
Interesting studies classifying the un-
employed as reflected in about 6000.-
600 cases in their files. Here is an
Interesting paragraph Of comment
from one Of these surveys:
The first point to note is that the

lates every convention which has been
set by man as an inhibition against

one out OF the ranks of civilized and

What is happening is Homeric. 1t
has the elements of the loftiest Greek
tragedy, of the terrible dramas which
purge the soul with pity. No one
knows whence the Basques came All
we know is that this little people is

language and literature, beautiful
bodies and faces, a people proud, inde-
pendent and free. whose history is as

in a remarkable music. They play

This week airplanes, reputedly Ger

machine guns, modified to save
cause which has been lost since Ital-
Ian soldiers scattered in a new Capo-
retto at Brihuega on the Guadalajara
front, and set out, not to conquer
the Basque country, but to extermi-

account comes to us from the cor

description of the bombing attack

5000 refugees. 1t is not a part of any
front. A factory producing war ma

carefully avoided. The conquerors, no
doubt wished to preserve 1t for them
selves.
The attack proceeded as follows
