 TORRINGTON
 Increasing difficulty Is being felt in the Torrington area in replacing those inducte dinto Military Service. This Is particularly noticeable in stores, domestic service and farms, workers deserting these occupations to take positions in factories and available workers outside the draft age who are able and willing to work are at peresnt practically non- existant.
 Recruiting for the Elementary Training Course is also beginning to reflect this condition, particularly since the Billings and Spencer School has stopped receiving grad uates from this district.
 There was @ decrease in new reg istrations, new registrations totalling 2l7 and renewals 359 for the month.
 Telephone installations were in- creased by l,054 and 26 building permits for a total of approximately $25, 1000 were issued during the month.
 BRISTOL
 Little variation from last month Is shown ir the Bristol area With Q continued shortage of skilled and machine workers, and molders. It is becoming increasingly difficult to supply workers for retail stores, service stations and similar estab- lishments One manufacturing plant has recently employed a con siderable number of married women.
 National Defense Training grad- uates are now being absorbed locally and there is beginning to be difficult ty in recruiting men in sufficient numbers for this course. All of the industries in this community are busy and the prospects for the im- mediate future are for a continua- ton of this situation.
