JOBS FOUND FOR
732 PERSONS THIS
AREA PAST YEAR

Jobs for 732 persons were found
in this district by the Nogales Ma
tional Unemployment Service in
1886, according to the following
written for the Nogales Information
al by w. N. Pickett, interviewer,
Nogales National Unemployment
Service:
"Tne National unemployment
Service is a permanent Bureau of
the Department of Labor, charged
with the responsibility of operating
nation wide agency who purpose
is to bring together iobless men and
manless Jobs. This service is free to
all, employer and employee.
!, Finding job is matter of in
tense Importance; being out Of a
job is tragic. The agency which
helps men find jobs and which helps
employers find competent help has
performed a service to the COM
munity that cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents.
''The Unemployment Service is
not to be confused with a relief
agency. It has no direct financial
aid to offer any applicant. 1t can
refer an applicant to job only
when an employer has given notice
that he has a job to offer. High
level of activity in Santa Cruz
County is reflected in the number
of placements made in 1886. This
service found jobs for 1872 persons
in this district Of this number 245
were privately employed. 239 were
placed on public works. and 248 on
WPA. 81 of the above number were
Veterans. A total of 918 referrals
we're made during the year; we had
392 new applications; 220 reregis-
trations; 500 renewals: 101 persons
moved out of the county and 20
moved in. The personnel of this
office in Nogales made 377 public
and private field visits and rein
terviewed 2371 applicants. The farm
registrations for the year were AZ
with placements.
"One of the most significant and
gratifying developments of the year
has been the steady decrease in the
volume Of new applications OF un-
registered job seekers and the sub
stantial increase in applicants placed
in private employment.
'The Reemployment Service re-
ceives applications of workers men
and women-every conceivable oc-
cupation: laborers, building trades
men, machinists, office clerks, chefs,
mattresses, household workers, engi-
neers, architects, nurses, and teach
ers.
employers call upon the service
for workers of equally diversified oc-
cupations. 1t is the business of the
Service to fill each job with the
best qualified worker. Needless
migration is discouraged; an at
tempt being made to meet labor
shortage in any locality by the
transferring of surplus workers who
may be available in some other part
of the state.
"Of the total number of place
ments made in the County in 1886,
81 or 1870 were ex-service men. A

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
associated Press Financ1ai Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The stock
market turned about abruptly today
and in a day-long climb leaders
zoomed up to points or more above
Wednesdays closing lows. A few were
boosted even higher.
While turnover was moderate. the
session was impressive because of the
absence of important selling pressure.
Utilities, buoyed by hopes of substan-
tial agreement between the companies
and the administration, were in strong
demand.
The rally pushed to every other
division of the list. Anticipation of
renewed power company construction
and an early push in the Presidents
housing program sent building mate
rial stocks soaring. Steels, motors,
rails, coppers and oils were active on
the up side.
Throughout the list prices were
higher at the opening, and the upward
offensive continued without serious
breaks. Some short covering was ap-
parent and there was an increase IN
buying orders from abroad.
Sales Appropriated 100000 shares.
Washington developments and what
traders described as an "oversold"
condition of the market after Wednes-
days drift downward appeared to pro-
vide the main stimulus for the unin-
terrupted rally.
Active in the advance were United
States Steel, up around at the best:
Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet e.
Tube, General Motors, Chrysler, Mack
Truck, American Telephone. Com
