Scroggs Says Employment
Is Levelling Off
Here

Of the 3,196 Wilmingtonians in
curing last month about state
ments of availability under the
Labor Sterilization program, 1,494
were granted, indicating that a
big percentage" did not transfer
to new jobs, Felix A. Scroggs,
manager of U. s. Employment Ser
vice, said Friday.
This was the lowest number of
statements of availability issued
since the labor program was eff
fected last May Is, he said. and
indicates a general leveling off
of employment"
Employment placements drop
ped 258 below the August figure
tc 2,137. This was accounted for
by reason of the drop IN housing
construction here. Job placements
on ship and boat building projects
increased 40 per cent over August.
Of the total placements, 1881
were sent to essential industry,
with go per cent transferring from
other essential occupations, and
the balance transferring from less
essential.
Less than 100 of the 12,410 per-
sons who visited the Employment
office in September had skills that
could not be used in the Whining

special privilege to crown our
Blessed Lady, Queen of the Uni
verse, at the end of the march.
Forming the Queens Court are

achieved highest averages in their
respective Religion classes. and

duct, loyalty and cooperation.

CAMP PHILIPS, Kas., May A.
Minutes may mean lives where
wounded men on the battlefront
are concerned, so here at Camp
Phillips stretcher bearers learn
how to save those minutes and
lives.
Medical unit litter-bearerS train
just as strenuously for their tasks
as do the infantry, tankmen or ar
tillerymen.
To tougher them, they are re-
quired to carry patients over an
obstacle course representing con-
ditions on battlefront. And to
insure that the stretcherS are kept
on an even keel and not jostled
they must also carry on stretchers
'atbucket of water--and not spill
it.
A l00-yard course, designed by
officers Of the Oath divisions medi-
cal battalion, commanded by Ma
jor Gustaf Sweet, includes low
and high barriers over which the
stretchers must be lifted; a simu-
lated trench with shory turn
along which the men, in crouch
position, must carry their burden;
deep mudholes and finally an am
bulance into which they must load
the patient.

80 minutes the first time they try
the course, but in about so trips
they can cut this down to Is min
uteS.
But it takes several weeks of
gruelling practice before they can
get that bucket of water around,
over, through and under the OBJ
stacles without spilling a drop.
When they can accomplish that
chore, it means they can race pa
tients from forward positions back
TO dressing stations and ambu-
lances so gently that even grave
ly wounded soldiers will not suf-
fer from the trip.
When the division first moved
into Camp Phillips, litter-bearers
were trained merely by carrying
patients up and down stairs. Then
the officers rugged up the course
and it Immediately proved its
worth. Army medical officers have
asked for plans to use at other
camps.
Litter-bearerS must be rugged
and tough" said Major Sweet, ex-
planning that casualties among
them in past campaigns have been
among the highest in the army.
Much of their work is under fire.
Future engagements, say the
battalion's officers, will find lit
ter-bearers of the Oath tough and
ready-but not rough.

not one which would fit in the
average victory garden, it is a

"The Vinegar Tree" is the sub

forum on Thursday and Friday
evenings by Key West Players.
Curtain will rise at 8:l5.
The play is being sponsored by

from the entertainment go toward
the blind fund of this organiza-
ton. Lions have a big project lined
up for the coming year in this i'm
