ADVISES WORKERS
TO REGISTER NOW

workers in the rural areas to regis
ter for employment. He explained
Mat a nationwide registration of a.
valuable workers is being conducted
by all the offices of the Maryland
State Employment Service as part
Of the National Defense Program.
Mr.. Englar pointed out that in this
registration, to insure needed work.
srs to carry on the Defense Program,
farm labor is just as important as
Industrial labor. Moreover, he said
that many workers located in rural
areas also have training and exper-
fence that could be used in defense
Industries. The local office can re-
fer workers to available job openings
anywhere in the state or in other
states, since it is in touch with all
the State employment offices in the
country.
Mr.. Englar made it clear that per-
CONS who register may not immed-
lately find jobs waiting for them, but
ne present registration has been I'M
dertaken so that national defense Of
fcials may know how many and what
hind of workers are available through
cut the country for jobs or training
u defense occupations, and, therefore
low to plan defense productions.
This registration will serve two di-
rect purposes. It will enable the En-
ployment Service to reach unemploy-
cd workers as soon as there are jobs
for them, and makes it possible for
defense industries and other enter
prises in the country to get in touch
with suitable workers when they need
them.
The registration will also bring to
the attention of the employment SER
vice, men and women who may be a
valuable for training in one of the
many vocational training programs
which have been set up throughout
the country to help prepare people
for jobs in defense industries. Com
plete information about these train
ing programs can be obtained from
the local State employment office.
Every unemployed person who can
hold a job and every worker exper-
fenced in one of the following trades
but not now employed at that trade,
is requested to register with the 10
cal office of the State employment
service: aircraft manufacturing, air
plane sheet metal workers, woodwork
ers, and inspectors; in shipbuilding,
ship carpenters, loftsmen, boatbuild-
ers, ship filters, caulkers, marine
machinists, and aeronautical engi-
neers; in machine shops and machin-
cry manufacturing, machinists, tool
makers, lathe operators, die makers,
and tool designers.
The employment service does not
encourage or desire workers who are
employed in any of the above indus
tries to register.
the defense program was stressed by
Mr.. Englar. He said, "The emphasis
thus far in the defense program has
been on industrial and commercial
workers. But we must not forget
that farmers are also defense work.
ers and that have a vital part in this
eountry's preparation for defense,
That is why I am making a special
appeal to rural workers to register
with the State Employment Service.
There is no charge for this service,
and it puts them in line for consid-
Grafton when suitable job opens up
in this State or in other States. The
important food-producing activities of
the country must not be hampered
for lack of capable hands. Moreover
many farm workers are also skilled
in mechanical and other industrial
trades needed in defense industries
Whether the rural worker can serve
best on the farm or in an industrial
job, he should register with the State
employment Service so he can be mott
fled of any job available which he
can fill"
