Capt. Botsford is scheduled to

Lieut.. Specs last night stressed

officially designated the Whining
ton Anti-Aircraft Firing Center. 1t
will 60 under this name until at
some time in the future it is CIV

ally in honor of some person of
military renown.
Yesterday at Holly Ridge work
was continued on the buildings,
with engineers continuing their sur

complete blueprint of which was
posted in the office of Col. Mont

building of small ships such as

ly on the proposal" to construct
a large number of coast guard
patrol boats already planned by
the federal government.
Boyd urged that the club take
action supporting an expansion OF
shipyard facilities here in order
that the local port might benefit
in the enlarged program of erect
ing vessels of small size, including
those which could eventually serve
as auxiliary ships to the U. S.
Navy along the entire South At
lantic seaboard.
Rountree explained that the
movement initiated last night by
the Propeller club would represent
a concerted attempt to get con-
tracts on bids sought by the fede-
raj government on numerous coast
guard patrol boats.
Once the project of additional
shipyard facilities is inaugurated
in the Port of Wilmington, Roun-
tree said, through the organization
of a company with private capital,
the project is practically assured
of sufficient business from the fed
eral government alone to make
such a step a going concern.
The club also adopted a resolu-
ton requesting proper representa-
ton in connection with the move
ment for the reorganization of the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
and Rountree named J.. D. Carr
to represent the interests of the
club in the matter.
The club approved plans to call

Rountree submitted a lengthy
report on the 18th annual con
vention of the Propeller Club of
the United States and the Ameri-
al Merchant Marine conference
held in New Orleans, La, Deem
Der 8, 9, 10, and II.
The increase of the U. S. Naval
forces to a two ocean navy, he
said, has meant a relative increase
in the size of the American Mer-
chant Marine. He cited the value
of inland waterways to national
defense in bringing the source OF
supplies closer to manufacturing
plants and points of destination.
Officials of the national Propel-
Ter club, Rountree reported, agreed
on the policy of giving all possible

June graduates with well-mapped job campaigns
the ones who'll find the best positions quickest
Here are hints for our l75o, 900 new job seekers
by Lyle NJ. Spencer

Most important of all will be the strategy
these young people use in their attack on the
labor market. Below are eight rules that are
vitality important in planning a job-seeking
campaign. Some have been discussed in
earlier articles, but they are so essential that
they deserve brief review here They won't
work IN every case, of course. But if you fol-
low them faithfully, they will give you an
advantage over other job seekers who haven't
mapped out any systematic campaign. Study
these rules carefully. Clip them out and refer
to them regularly as your campaign proceeds:
RULE I. Be realistic tn selecting the types
OF occupations you ,cant 10 enter 1t is surprising
how few job seekers heed this rule, and how
much needless trouble they make for them
selves as result.
First, sit down and write out all the voca-
tions for which your abilities and training fit
you. There are at least l8 600 different ways
of earning living in the United States. You
could probably be reasonably successful in
dozens of them. Many persons needlessy
limit their job horizons because they fail to
recognize the range Of their capabilities The
classified section of your local telephone
directory will suggest occupations Or better
yet, 60 to your local library and look through
a recently published job dictionary called the
Dictionary of Occupational Titles pre-
pared by the United States Department of
Labor.
Second check the occupations on your list
in which you think you would be happy
spending the rest of your life Take every
opportunity to read up on occupations that
interest you, and talk with people who are
already in them.

WHERE DO WE co FROM HERE?

z 4 YHATEVER the future may hold, more
w than two and half million young
w people are slamming their school
books for the last time this year. The vast
majority of these members of the class of 1910
- about million and three quarters alto
gether - are getting ready to look for jobs
Some are much better prepared for the
struggle ahead than others. About 10000
have ALB. degrees. More than a million have
high-school diplomas Most of the rest have
at least graduated from grammar school.
One knot that ties nearly all these youngsters
together at first is unemployment. They will
soon be competing against each other and
against the ten or t,oelpe million people already
in the labor market. And tn spite Of all the OBJ
staeles, they're not going to do so badly. 1t looks
nov as though about JGty5jire per cent Of them
will find jobs either before or shortly after grad
uatton. By fall, about sepen out of ten should be
at ,0ork. The rest uiN be unemployed for periods
ranging from months to several years.
The jobs they get will not be awarded by
chance. Young people who have a definite
plan OF campaign and definite occubational
goals will generally find positions sooner than
those who haven't decided what they want to
do or how to go about doing it. Those who
have piled up work experience during vaca-
tons and after school will usually get the first
nod from employment managers.
Let's see how this process of job selection
will work. It's safe bet that college gradu-
ates, on the whole, will fare best A survey of
fifty eight American colleges and universities
indicates that the job outlook for college
people is better than at any time since 1890.
According to our estimates, between fifty
and eighty per cent of the graduates from
each of these schools will have received def
mite job offers by commencement day. Most
of the others will be placed before fall.
Talent scouts from large business concerns
have been more active in interviewing college
applicants this year than for long time
They're on the lookout for many kinds of
people, but especially bright young men and
women who can step quickly into minor
supervisory positions. Many businesses now
find their supervisory ranks stated largely
with older men. Depression slashes and lack

OR teachers, the outlook is only average
Declining enrollments are reducing vacancies
in elementary schools, and even in some high
schools Teaching prospects look best this
year in the fast-growing junior colleges, in
vocational education, industrial arts, agri-
culture, home economics and art at the high
school level
So much for the college graduates But
what about the vast majority who have been
educated in grammar school and high school?
The employment prospects are also better
for them, probably better than in any year
since 1897. But since few are trained special
ists they will find keener competition.

of in-service training have prevented the de-
velopment of capable subordinates to follow
in their footsteps.
Many technically trained men had very
tough shedding during the worst of the de-
preston, but the tide is running strongly in
the other direction now 1--WE anticipate the
placement of all our engineering graduates,
one school reports. AT least three quarters
by commencement, and the rest no later than
early fall" Among other engineering schools
the story is much the same Unlike the pre-
depression era, when most engineers went into
highly technical work. many will now be alb
sorbed in semitechnical sales work.
Job orders for college graduates with busi-
ness training are now going out from many
Industrial offices. Men who know shorthand
and typing are in demand to start as male
secretaries to busy executives Opportunities
are also perking up for college trained &C
countants, and for graduates interested in
sales work.

Hail Losses
About Same
This Season

Hail losses in this section this sum-
mer have been about in proportion to
other seasons. according to local in
SlranCe men.
Hail storms have been rather fewer
than usual it is said, but where
claims have arisen they have. in
many instances. been larger than
hitherto. because many growers have
had more extensive coverage.
There is no great variation in the
number of risks written by under
writers. much of the difference be-
ing in the frCt that larger amounts
have been involved in policies.
While the hail season has not pass
ed by any means. much of the to-
bacco crop, on which most Of the
hail protection is carried, has been
harvested. 1t is estimated that about
half of the crop is still in the fields.
