blossoms, glossy foliage, highly
colored fruits and interesting
trained conformations. AS illus

chased in many trained forms,
such as horizontal trained, stan

trained trees include apple, pear,
plum, peach, nectarine and april

Sometimes Espalier trees plant

same year, but usually it is the
second year before they bear. Al
though the trees are dwarfed, the
fruit is not, being large and excel

trees being dwarf in size and hat
in shape against a wall are easy
to spray, and for the small reason
it is easy to harvest the fruit

MANY PEOPLE planning a
Victory garden in a not too large
backyard do not realize that along
with their vegetables they can
also have a miniature orchard
which will take almost no ground
or air space. To accomplish this,
however, one must plant Espalier
trees which are dwarf fruit trees
trained like vines. An Espalier
fruit tree, for example, can be
planted to grow fiat against the
sunny side of a garage, as Illus
trated in the accompanying Gar
den-Graph. Espalier fruit trees
can also be used along fences,
walls or on a trellis. They are dec
orative, as well as fruitful, when
planted in series between win
doWs.
Espalier trees, in fact, are usu-
ally decorative paintings through

1000 RESIDENTS
TAKE VITAL JOBS
Local Employment Service
Reveals Many Have
Changed Occupations

Approximately 1000 Wilmington
ians have been transferred 1roii'
less essential to more essenoa'
occ,,pations under the screening
for essential jobs program inaus.
urated by the U. $. Employment
Service three weeks ago, Manager
Felix A. scroggs revealed Wed
nesday.
At the same time, that Office
has rejected about $50 persons VINO
we're already on jobs that were
as essential to the war effort as
the Jobs they sought.
The reaction to this program
from essential employers, ooth
locally and in other parts OF the
state. has been favorable, Scroggs
said, and the employment agency
has been congratulated for sending
essential workers back to positions
where their skills were more bene-
ficial than they would be here.
Scroggs pointed to the instance
where two maintenance mechanics
from paper mill came here for
Jobs. but the employment office
gave them reflections, because 1t
was known that that mill was on
81 per cent war work. A few days
after their rejection, the employ
ment office received letter thank
ing them, stating that the war
effort would have been seriously
handicapped had these men been
placed in employment in Whining
ton."
On the other hand, Scroggs de-
clared that if an employer has a
man in his employment who pos
sesses a certain skill that is needed
in the war effort, which is not
being used at this time, the en-
ployment office endeavors to Sc
cure a release from his present
employer in order to place him
where the skill can be utilized.
1T is very necessary that per-
sons coming to Wilmington from
plants in other parts of the state
secure a release from their en-
ployers for seeking work he-e,
he said.
In some cases, persons have
come here from the extreme west
ern section of North Carolina, and
from plants doing war work, with
out release, and the employment
office has returned them for the
release before sending them on
jobs n Wilmington.
This service relieves essential
industry employers from the re-
sponsioility of securing releases,
Scroggs explained. ANY person re-
ferred by the employment service
on an Official card can be ac-
cepted as having been released" "
