Drifting Bar, Also Applies To Dogs
 Says OPA Office

A woman phoned the state OPA recently to seek cOnfirma- ton of a section of the pleas urc driving regulations which rules it is permissible to drive to a regular course O. study if no other means of transporta- ton are available"
 The confirmation received, she bubbled: Splendid! I was so afraid that the ban might prevent my dOggie from finish ing a training course he's been taking from a dog trainer"
 After spiking the lady's ecs- tasy by promptly reversing it's ruling, the OPA checked over the regulation again to find that it does not specify that only human beings may drive to a regular course of study. But that Is the interpretation the order is being given, just the same, and the dogs and other animals will no longer be driven to classes in autOmo- piles.

On the basis of current trends it vas estimated during the next six months 50,0OO Connecticut residents would be employed in war industries, 30000 of them women. While some of these will be new entrans to the labor market, such as youths and housewives, a larger portion will come from a reduction in non-w war industries and other unessential &C., tivities.
 Reports from the Is field offices of the U. s. Employment Service in- dicated that the job Stabilization or der has resulted in a greatly les sened number of job shoppers and that turnover has been reduced.
 Critical shortages of housing exist in several of the large areas in the State, especially New Britain, Bris- tol, Hartford, Bridgeport, Water oury and Meriden. Although ad ditional housing will become avail able through private building, con- version of existing structures and doubling up of families of men who enter the armed services, it is eX- pected that shortages will probably persist in the major areas
 Practically all areas of the state of immigrants from other states and increasing difficulty in finding students to fill Machine Training courses.
 Areas such as MiddletoWn and Stamford, which did not feel the labor pinch as soon as other sec lions, arc now being forced to con- duct recruiting drives for women, in order to fill existing vacancies. The U. s. Employment Service estimates that, based upon recent placement experience, women may be used to fill at least 45 per cent of the job openings occurring in industry be- cause of expansion or replacements.
 It is estimated that some 12000 women may be recruited during the year, which number falls far short of those needed This figure is conservative, it was pointed out, and the theoretical potential num- Der from this source may approXi- mate 25,00O. Discouraging results obtained in several local recruiting drives indicate that the larger num- Der cannot be realized under pres ent conditions, and much of the supply is in areas where there is the least demand.
 Waterbury
 Demand for labor in the Water bury area continues to far exceed the available supply. Workers of all types-professional, skilled, un- skilled, clerical and service-are needed both for draft replacements and in some cases expansion needs that have not as yet been met. The shortage of construction laborerS, heavy mill laborers and servcie work CTS willing to accept jobs in laun- dries and other locally needed &C., tivities are most stringent. Lack of adequate housing continues to hamper Immigration of any ap- praciable supply of labor to alleviate this shortage conditions.
 Enrolment in public training fa- cilities are at new low; the req son being that "in-plant" training was being provided by employers to unskilled workers and minimum base rates being paid to these learn CTS during this break-in period.
 It Is too early to measure ac- curately the effect of the Employ

n1ent StabiliZa ton Plan for the area but a marked decrease in the num- Der of applicants at the USES and at the employment offices and gates of manufacturing plants has been noted. During the first month of ex- perience covering the period from April 21, 1943. when the Plan be- came effective, to May g, 1943, a total of IA cases was handled by the Review Unit at the USES-76 of these cases involved male work CTS and 38 female workers. In only 12 cases out of the IA were state ments of availability granted; in all other cases statements were de- nied Thirty-siX of these cases were carried up to the labor-man- agement committee for the area for a further hearing but in only one case was the decision of the USES overruled.
 Recently there has been a great employed in this area and employ CTS generally are trying to utilize fully the physically handicapped, thirteen of whom were paced dur ing the past month.
 To offset partially the labor shortage in this area high school graduates and teachers who will be available this month will probably be placed at work
 One local concern has started an "Orientation School for high school students on part time basis while others are operating on full time basis. The object of these schools is to familiarize inexperienced em- p,oyeS with their working environ ment so that when they are avail able full time they will fit quickly into the production picture.
 TOrrington
 With the exception of the machine tool industry, the employment situa- tion in the Torrington area contin- ues stable. New hiring is still limit ed to replacements. The number of skilled workers wishing to migrate to cities were higher wage rates are in effect has shown consider able increase especially in the latter half of the month.
 In the Winsted area one manu- featuring company that has been practically shut down during the past year is now negotiating for a contract which. if it is successful in obtaining. will create jobs for an additional 150 to 200 women.
 There was an increase in new ap- plications and an increase in renew als as compared with last months figures. New registrations totaled 220, and renewals totaled 187 for the month.
