LOWER CHAPEL IN
 CHURCH CLOSED
Ceiling in Boston Church Falls During NOvena
 Services

Boston, Dec. 1O-UP)-The lower chapel of St. Francis De Sales church was closed today following the sudden collapse of part of the ceiling during a noyena service last night.
 Eight persons were injured by the shower of plaster. Six were treated at . hospital for scalp wounds and bruises, but none were held over- night.
 The pastor, the Rev. Mark c. Driscoll, ordered the church closed pending repair of the damaged por- tion and a thorough inspection of the rest of the ceiling.
 The five-foot square of plaster dropped while 900 parishioners knelt in prayer. Those injured, most of them in two pews, <. were Lillian Moore, 19, Olympia Mari, 16, Mrs. Ellen Toomey, 52, Patrick J. Doh erty, 48, Theresa Lombardi, II, John Flynn, IS, Mildred Moore, 1S, and Carmel Flynn, 12.
 The service was interrupted only momentarily. As soon as the injured were taken out, the Rev. Joseph A. Robinson, a curate, closed the serv- Ice. Later a service was held in the upper church.

PRIVATE JOBS
 INCREASE IN NOV.
State Employment Bureau Placements Show Defi=
 nite Uptrend

Private placements during the month of November were 551, an increase of between 20 and g per cent over the preceding month, ac- cording to the report today of Thomas I. Shea, manager of the Connecticut State Employment Service.
 On the other hand, there were renewals of registration by former registrants who had probably found employment and then became un- employed again which amounted to 1 1.109, about the same number as in October.
 Thus, the active file as of Nov. 30th, showed a total of 10,141 reg istrants against 9,222 on Oct. 31st. This total, however, includes new registrations as well and there were ATT such during last month.
 Dividing the totals to show what employment conditions are, it is re- ported that 211 men were placed in private employment last month, 34O women. Of these placements, 430 were regular, 121 temporary.
 And 300 men, TIT women filed new registrations during the month The October registrations numbered 5O9, slightly more. Cancellations during November, because persons had not appeared at the office dur ing the stipulated 60-day period numbered 198.
 While an increase of about 900 is found in the active file total, the in- crease of placements by 110 per sons in November over October shows better employment condi- tionS and during last month only 20 persons were placed on PWA None is listed as obtaining WPA employment.
 A considerable amount of tenn porary employment is resulting from the demand for the holiday season. and whether some of thi: placement results in permanent jobs is seen to depend on business con. ditionS at the first of the year.
