ter utilization of the labor force in the area.
 BRISTOL
 There is lively demand for un- skilled workers both male and female, particularly for work on the second and third shift. The scarcity of male help for heavy factory la bor continues to be critical.
 July showed a much smaller in- crease in total employment than previous months, hut this was offset somewhat by the fact that employ CTS have reduced their estimated needs for the coming six months by neary one-half.
 An area Stabilization Agreement has been put into effect but it is too early now to estimate its effect in reduced turnover.
 TORRINGTON
 During the past month there was large shifting of workers from factories and foundries affected by the slow down in the machine tool industry but there were readily ob- sorbcd by other factories in this area.
 The number of local residents seeking employment here is increas- ing due in part to the location of a new industry in this area.
 The number of new applicants for work was the highest of any month in the past year. year.

 Shortages of "'heavy" labor re- ported last month continue to be critical in some areas, with manu- lecturers reporting some threat to increased production by their inabil- ,ty to procure men for heavy man. ual operations, MT. Fitzgerald said.
 Influx of teachers and students to the labor market late in June has helped to relieve labor shortages in many areas, and an increasing use of part-time workers has also con- tributed to production.
 Full utilization of labor, reduction of turnover, and elimination of un- necessary absenteeism are the three major goals to be reached to offset the shortage of help, MT. Fitzgerald said. Manpower authorities are al ready working on these problems.
 Although women have responded in great numbers to appeals to take jobs in war industries, 1t seems ap- parent at this point that, in addi- tion to relying on additional work CTS, a realistic approach must be the more economical and efficient use of workers already in the mar ket, MT. Fitzgerald said. Their efficiency is reduced whenever there is unnecessary job shifting, when ever they are not employed to their full productive capacity and when ever they are absent from work un- necessarily. The attainment of these three goals will require the coopera- tion of all three groups; the em- ployers, the employees and the Man power Commission. We have already reduced turnover and I think this will improve even more. Full utiliz- ation of labor and reduction of ab- :entoeism are the two main objec- tives. We will reach these too"
 WATERBURY
 During early July the demand for workers in this area was eased temporarily by the entrance into the labor market of the sizeable group of high school graduates and other young people who had fin- ished their education. These people were readily absorbed, however, and present indications are that the de- mand for workers will continue to exceed the supply during the next six-month period. Workers from outside the Waterbury area contin- ued to in-migrate but the flow is necessarily curtailed because of frightened housing conditions.
 A most pressing demand for labor continues in the heavy labor cate- gory where jobs cannot be re-en- gineered for women and where husky male workers must be used.
 New registrations returned to normal after considerable upswing caused by the registration of high school graduates and students aT@a- able for summer work. Many plants in the area have availed themselves of the temporary supply of available teachers, students and professional people who ordinarily do not work during the summer months.
 Compliance with the local Stabil- ization Plan has recently been checked carefully and is remarkably good. Both employers and workers arc being guided by the provisions of the Plan and the drop in separa- tion rate (about 45 per cent down from March indicates a much bet
