ADDRESSES THE
CENTURY CLUB
Thomas Russell of Delaware
Employment Service, Talks
to Smyrna Club Women
EXPLAINS THE SERVICE

Thomas Russell of this town,
manager of the Delaware Employ
ment Service, was the guest speak
er Friday, October p, Of the Smyr-
ma Twentieth Century Club, of
which organization his wife is pres
ident. In his remarks he called
attention to the trend of writer's
and speakers of sounding a warn
ing note regarding the possible col
lapse Of democracy in favor Of
some type of dictatorship. The
speaker referred to the spirit Of
jubilation at the signing of the
signing of the Armistice and said
that had anyone had the temerity
to say at that time that within
twenty years dictatorship would be
on the ascendancy and the fate Of
democracies in the balance, he
would have been laughed to scorn
and his statements called absurd.
Yet the absurdity of twenty years
ago has become the fact Of today"
Mr.. Russell then called attention
to the historical fact when great
numbers of people in any civiliza-
ton are denied the necessities and
common comforts of life, a change
in either, or both, the economic and
political structure of that civiliza-
| ton is found to occur. Continuing
the speaker said when we place
this known fact against the state
ment that one third of the people
Of this country are improperly
housed, poorly clad and poorly
nourished; and that from eight to
ten million are out Of employment
it is time for US to wake up and
consider what must be done to
again place these people in gainful
employment and raise the living
conditions of the underprivileged
one third He then went on with
an analysis of the types of people
looking for work and predicted
that the new twins of our educa-
tional system-Vocational Training
and Vocational Guidance - would
60 far in helping youth in finding a
place in the business world. Eff
forts of the government to help in
recovery were outlined and the
scope ard purpose Of the Delaware
State Employment Service explain
ed. Several specific examples were
given by the speaker Of placements
made by the Employment Service
during recent weeks.
