E1kH WONl6lle 0o Ok WAkOtA AtNV never before been employed, were referred directly from their homes to employers as Q result of visits made by Mir. Cianci and Mrs, Kath- erine Nixon, interviewer of the U, s, Employment Service, the report showed.
 Information secured during the recruiting campaign revealed that there are no unemployed men at the housing projects, and that vir- tually all of the men are working at high urgency rated firms, A total of l2I women of the Warner Gardens project and 56 from Ham, ilton Heights were already working when the interviewerS conducted their survey.
 Only five women who were found to be available for work refused to take jobs, MT, Cianci reported. Ill health prevented 28 women at War. ner Gardens and lA at Hamilton Heights from taking jobs.
 The main consideration which prevented women from accepting referrals was care of their children. Seventy-nine at Warner Gardens and n at Hamilton Heights were unavailable for the labor market because of children. There was an average of three children In the families interviewed, and most of the children were under two years old, it was disclosed.
 Since federal regulations do not permit enrolment of children un- der two years of age in government day nurseries, many of the mothers have been unable to make use of the day nursery at the Warner Gar dens project.
 Thirteen women at the Hamilton Heights project indicated they would be willing to take Jobs if day nursery care were available for their children, Although facilities exist for such nursery at the project, a nursery program has not mater iall1ed.
 Mrs, Dewey explained that the interviewers not only were interest- cd in getting as many women as possible for war jobs but also were concerned with filling up the War ner Garden day nursery. The local child care committee had conferred with the local WING officials on the day nursery aspect before the labor recruiting drive was undertaken.
 10 was pointed out by the WING that l9 children were enrolled In the Warner Gardens day nursery when the drive opened and that % are registered now. It was disclosed thas a few more children will be entered shortly after they meet fed- eral requirements on vaccinations and other considerations. The be-. lief was expressed that enrolment may shortly reach S5.
 Several of the mothers interview cd expected concern over their teen age daughters, and declind employ ment for that reason.
 Of those who were unavailable for work because of. their children, 8 per cent had previously held jobs, 1t was disclosed. Many In the III health group also had been work ing before.
 Six women were found to be un- employed because they were facing 60-day penalties for quitting their former jobs, It was reported by the interviewerS that all of the persons interviewed were familiar with
