Ideal Relaxation
Pressed heavily by the calls Of
national service and of business,
seasoned collectors - and many
thousands of new ones-have found
stamps the ideal relaxation from
the nervous stress of these hectic
times" wrote Harmer in a fore
word to the magazine.
That's what the English do. No

ror; collecting stamps is much bet
ter. and that's what many Bri-
fisher does while the Nazis bomb

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-17

The industrial and labor situation in the state reflected the current uncertainty about priorlties and materials shortages during Septem- Der by sharp rise of more than 24 per cent in Unemployment Con- pensation claims, Labor Commis- sioner Cornelius J. Danaher stated today, on the basis of reports re- ceived by him from the IS field offices of the Connecticut State Employment Service.
 While there were only 5884 claims filed in August this had increased to 7319 in September, and while greatly below normal for this per- iod of the year is considered symp- tomatic of the temporary layoffs and establishments made necessary by the defense program.
 While there were no spectacular shutdowns reported during the per- iod, an increasing number of brief layoffs, due to materials shortages in metals, rubber, plastics and silk have occurred. Manufacturers, gen. erally, who are not working on de- fense orders, are striving at this time to procure government orders Many offices reported a slackening in the rate of employment due to the unwillingness of manufacturers to plan further expansion until the question of materials supplies could be ironed out.
 Some progress has evidently been made in the Encouragement of un- skilled migrant workers and sev- eral offices, including Bridgeport noted a diminution in the number of out-of-state applicants during the past month.
 AnSonla
 Continued materials stringency held down the number of job place. ments during September, and al- though the number exceeded those placed during the previous month

this was due more to @ shifting of personnel rather than to an in- dustrial expansion. Transients con- tinued to visit the office in a large number but seemed to be some- what fewer than in August.
 Waterbury
 During the first two weeks of Sep- tember commercial work went con- trary-wise to the industrial picture. The number of professional jobs i1- creased during the latter half of the month. Contrary to previous forecast, the mercantile business did not show any improvement over the previous month.
 Industrial placements correspond- ed closely with those of the pre- vious month, but a distinct level ing off in the number of openings is evident. One large concern has put its tool and machine depart ments on a 40 hour week for the first time in many months. Anoth- CT large concern has dropped to a 40 hour week in It's casting shop. Scovill Mfg. Go. has sublet 45 per cent of its most recent large con- tracts, and much of this business has been allotted to firms outside of the city of Waterbury.
 Unemployment compe nsation n claims increased 16 per cent over the previous month. This is due to layoff in the powder room of one of the large firms.
 Bristol
 The labor market in the Bristol area continues to be very short in most lines. All of the industries in the community are busy, although, due to anticipated re-adjustments caused by the application of prior tiles, few of the plants are doing any hiring of serni-skilled workers.
 There is some danger that unless defense contracts increase marked ly in volume there may be consid- erable layoff due to priorities. To counter-act this, however, som e plants not hitherto engaged in de- fense work are receiving contracts and expect to be in full produc- ton by the end of the year.
 There was some slight increase in the claim load due to short time work for e limited number of peo- pie, caused by the shortage of materials.
 ToFrington
 The industrial situation remains relatively stable, with material shortages reducing the amount oi new hiring. There is a continued demand for skilled workers in al occupations, for young men be. tween 1s and 25, for single girls oi the same age. Applicants in al three groups are becoming increas. ingly difficult to locate. Applica' tions of married women remain high, but employers remain on thu whole unwilling to employ them.

City Finishing Year
 With $394, ,419 Surplus

A city surplus of sSe4,41o was estimated yesterday by Budget Di- rector Thorvald E. Olsen in a re- port to the board of finance. The figure will be used by the board in placing a final estimate of surplus in the 1942 budget as a source of revenue.
 MT. Olsen told the board that his figures were very conservative. It was recalled that year ago he gave the board an estimate of $338 900 as the 1940 surplus. The board cut this figure down to $316,000 but the actual surplus turned out to be $4l9, ,298.
 The budget director informed the board that city revenue for this year will be $265, ,765.s5 greater than estimated in the budget. Saw ings in appropriations, he said, will amount to $l28654O8. These two figures added together give the es- timated surplus.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-17

Excess of revenue in budget items is estimated by MT. Olsen as fol- lows: excess of surplus over este mate, s1O3,O5S; excess of tax col- lections over estimate, regular. $232,272, old age, $6,5o0; excess from miscellaneous sources, $2O,- 293.
 He predicted deficits in budget estimates of collections of prior years taxes and in estimates on interest and penalties. He pre- dicted si0eable savings in the well fare, school, WPA, police, control ler's general financial and several other items.
 The l94l actual surplus, which will not be known until well into next year, will probably be well over the $40o,000 mark.
