Joe, The Clipper,
Still Clipping
Togo, You're Next!

Ninth USAAF Headquarters Sta
ton, Eng, Pfc. Joseph G. Daloia,
''the singing barber of Baldwin ST."
of Waterbury, Conn.,, who closed his
shop to enter the armed forces in
May, 1912, is now pursuing his civ
ilian occupation at this station.
After losing customers by the
scores to the Army and seeing his
barber shop quartet attacked en-
mas3e by the local draft board, Joe
closed his dor and placed sign on
it "Gone to Clip the Japs". And
he is still waiting for his chance.
Joe gets some consolation out of
the fact that his brother Peter is
down in the South Pacific with an
infantry unit. AS Joe pus it, "Pete's
down there softening them up for
me-"
Joe, whose father Mr.. Donate
Daloia, lives at 1902 Baldwin street,
Waterbury, Conn.,, left Fort Dix, N.
j., for England eighteen months ago
and has been clipping hair ever
since. They even had him cutting
GI's hair on the boat coming across,
an experience he looks upon with
miSgivings.
How they ever expected guy to
do trim job when the deck was al
most always at an impossible an
gle, is beyond me- grinned Joe.
At this station he cuts hair for
everyone from civilians to two
star generals and is anxiously wait
ing for a chance to display his skill
on three or four-star general.
Joe thinks they are regular JoeS''.
And 90 Is Joe.

Many servicemen's wives are
Joining their husbands and leaving
local Jobs, and other workers are
returning to their former homes, 1t
vas stated in explanation of the out
migration of labor.
It was pointed out that the USES
aoes not have complete figures on
out-migration since in many cases
no contact with the office Is neces-
gary for persons who leave the area.
EMPLOYEES who leave non-eSsentlal
Jobs or who do not plan to take new
Iobs out of the area are not regist-
cred at the USES when they leave
employment.
Placements last month gained by
215 over the previous month, with
the total listed at 1899. The in
crease is attributed in part to ex-
pansion of hiring controls and in
creased emphasis placed on neces-
ity of referrals by the USES. 1t
also is believed the rise in place
nentS Is partially due to the trans
Ter Of workers from plants under the
0ack-to-ceiling program.
The breakdown on percentages OF
placements in March is as follows:
1nskilled, 81 per cent; semi-skilled,
20 per cent; skilled, seven per cnet;
maintenance and service, three per-
cent; clerical and sale, six per cent;
and professional, two per cent.
All but nine of the jobs secured
during March were for essential or
locally needed activity, with indus

trial plants gaining very large
majority. OF the total placements,
II and 1-2 per cent were in the
manufacturing category. Forty-sev-
en- of last months placements were
for women.
In addition to local placement the
USES secured jobs out of the area,
or assisted in other placement, for
174 persons.
The total number Of jobs which
must be filled in the area within the
next four months in order to meet
production schedules has been estim-
ated at approximately 2,70O. It is
believed that figure may be boosted
still further through selective serv-
ice considerations. ,.....+
Many of the jobs secured through
the USES in March were for new
workers, returning veterans, and for
persons previously employed in nom
