early in 1889. With a few men he
helped organize the Parksley Volun-
teer Fire Company some eight or nine
years ago.
The seven Ruritan Clubs on the
Shore can feel proud of their new
District Governor. Ruritan is an or
ganization founded in Holland, Vir-
ginia in 1927, by a group of public
spirited Virginians, assisted by the
foresight of Tom ("Chief") Downing,
a Marylander by birth. This small
bunch of pioneers realized the value
of an organization of this type to the
residents of the smaller communities.
It's aim has been and is, ''To make the
Community that l live in, better
place in which to live" In practically
every respect they are striving to at
tain the detectives in the small towns
that are being realized by Rotary IN
ternational, Kiwanis and other clubs
of that calibre, in the larger towns
and cities. Founded through no
thought of selfishness or monetary
gain and with the desire to bring the
country storekeeper, country doctor
and the farmer in closer contact with
the dcings of their city cousins, Ruri-
tan can be proud of it's record.

After a separation of twenty two
years a brother and sister have been

WORKMEN ARE
NEEDED FOR The
DEFENSE PLANS
Within The Next Twelve Months
A Million And A Half New
Workers In Industries
DON'T PULL UP STAKES
IN YOUR HOME TOWN

Within the next twelve months a
million and half new workers will
be needed in defense industries of this
country. At least a third of this num-
Der will be brought in from places
outside the war industry localities.
Mr.. S. Lee Engler, manager of the
Salisbury office of the United States
Employment Service, said today that
men and women who want one of
these jobs should register at the local
office of the United States Employ
ment Office. Don't pull up stakes
in your hometown-don't start roam
ing the highways on the chance of
finding a job for yourself in some
other State" he said. "For a job in
your hometown or for a job elsewhere
register at your local Employment
Office"
Mr.. Englar called attention to the
fact that the shipyards, the aircraft
plants, steel mills, gun factories, chem
ical works, and various manufactur-
ing industries now getting ready to
produce war materials will be need
ing men within the coming months;
but there are two ways of looking for
a job, he said, the first-is to head
for a defense plant and try to find a
job; the seconds to go to the local
United States Employment Office.
That office can help him find a job
wherever defense production is going
on. Those who are unemployed and
skilled workers who are capable OF
filling better Jobs than they now hold
should go to the Salisbury office of
the United States Employment Ser
vice, second floor, Gunby Building,
South Division Street and Circle Ave
nue., and talk with a member of the
staff. The service is free to all and
information at this office may some
time save useless expense and TN
necessary travelling.
Mr.. Englar said thousands of men
and women have been stranded, far
from their hometowns, where they
went to find jobs which did not ma
terialize. He emphasized the fact
that job information is sent out from
headquarters to every office of the
Employment Service from time to
time, and, consequently, the local Of
flee knows where jobs are available
and what kind of skills are needed.
