March Unemployment
Declines 10 Million,
Hitting New Low
Census Figures Show
Decrease Of 100000
From Previous Month

Unemployment in March reached
a low point of 100000. a decline OF
100000 from the March, 1912, fig
ure and nearly 100000 less than
in 1887, the Census Bureau esti-
mates.
The March figure represents a
decrease of 100000 from the Feb
ruary estimate. Following short
period of relatively small changes,
the sharp decline since February,
the Census Bureau said, has brought
unemployment in the United States
to "a level which is probably not far
above the irreducible minimum"
Census experts. in commenting
unofficially on the current figure,
pointed out that economists had
placed minimum" unemployment at
between 100000 and 100000.
Unemployables Not Included.
The 100000 estimate does not
cover unemployables but does in
clude persons temporarily unem-
ployed in the process of transfer
from one job to another or because
of seasonal and similar factors.
In view of the decline in unem-
ployment and the projected increase
in the armed forces, employment
can only be maintained at current
levels through the entrance into the
labor force of large numbers of
persons now classified as non-
workers, the Census Bureau warned.
The civilian labor force declined
by 100000 between February and
March," it said. This drop was
confined entirely to men and marked
the eighth consecutive month in
which the male labor force has
decreased.
The number of women in the
labor market remained unchanged
at 15600,00O The labor force in
March, 1943, stood at 100000,
which was 100000 less than in
March, 1941. Thus the Nations
farms and factories are carrying on
a wartime production program with
civilian labor force somewhat
below prewar levels
100000 More Women Work.
Male employment dropped 5000
between February and March, while
employment of women increased by
100000, the net increase of 100000
bringing total employment to ST.
100000. Despite the drop in un-
employment, the employment level
has remained almost constant dur
ing the past three months, the
bureau said
Agricultural employment showed
a gain of 100000 during the month.
The increase took place entirely
among male farm workers and is
explained by census officials as due

Though no official count was
made, unofhcial estimates of un-

at the peak of the depression ranged
as high as 100000.

hunting Danny and pricked up his
sharp ears. Whenever Sammy Jay
screamed like that something inter-
esting usually was going on. 1t was
still early in the morning and Reddy
felt that it would be quite safe to
go up there and see what was 60
ing on.
He listened for few minutes and
turned and trotted swiftly in the
direction of the Old Orchard, but
not directly toward the place where
Sammy was screaming so. Oh. my,
no! That isn't Reddy's way. He is
too sharp and clever and sly to be
direct in anything. He first makes
sure that the way is clear and that
he is not likely to get into trouble.
So, ins>ead of heading straight for
where Sammy was screaming. he
went in a roundabout way so as to
enter the Old Orchard from the
side nearest the Green Forest and
creep up behind the old stone wall
to a point where he could see what
was going on with the least possible
danger of being seen himself.
When he reached the old stone
wall he crept along behind it swiftly
but softly, crouching very low with
his ears cooked forward to catch
every sound and his keen nose
shifting the air for any telltale scent
and his eager eyes watching for
Sammy Jay. Presently he saw
Sammy's blue coat in a tree on the
very edge of the Old Orchard. In
stantly Reddy stopped and fiat
tened himself down behind the stone
wall to watch. He saw right away
that Sammy was quarreling with
some one on the other side of the
wall and that he was so busy calling
bad names that he wasn't keeping
his usual sharp watch. Very, very
carefully Reddy crawled along to a
place where the stone wall was low
and then raised his head just
enough to peek over. There, right
out in the open, sat Peter Rabbit
making faces at Sammy Jay.
Reddy almost chuckled aloud.
This is the time Ill catch Peter

Reddy Fox was hunting for
Danny Meadow Mouse down on the
Green Meadows. He did that every
day, or almost every day. Danny
was quite used to it. He knew all
about Reddv and just how to fool
him. Sometimes Reddy gave him
great frights, but on the whole he
rather enjoyed the excitement of
these daily hunts. 1t made him
feel good clear to his little short
tail to see Reddy finally give up and
go off disappointed. You see, there
is always lot of pleasure in feel
ing that you are smarter than some
one else, especially some one who
has the name of being very smart
indeed. And so, when Reddy would
give up hunting for him, Danny
would swell out his chest and boast
a little to Nanny Meadow Mouse.

would say, but there goes one of
the smartest hunters on the Green
Meadow or in the Green Forest.

feeling that way. can you? On this

The milk situation has been solved

The production of milk goats has

has never been greatly stressed in
America, where there has been an
abundance of room for cows.
The milk-goat industry is in its

are signs pointing to the fact that
the industry will make great strides
from now on. The milk goat is
