 The percentage of sample" eni. ployeS who were not working at the time of the survey but who were available for work is listed at 20,s That figure includes those who were willing to return to tholr former employers immediately or ct some later time, and those who were will ing to take jobs provided they could Do with new employers,
 Of those checked, 379 per cent had already accepted jobs, . few oi them with old employers but most of them ct other establishments Half of that number secured state- ments of availability, c special U, g.

In reference to the latter the survey chairman reported, n is c safe assumption to presume they were largely composed if itinerants or floaters, moving from place to place and town to town, and be- cause of their roaming habits are In fact neither an addition nor . loss to our labor supply, because the loss of one is constantly nullifyine the addition of another.
 Also included in the mot avail- able" classification were persons who had entered military service or who were not working because of per- sonal illness or illness in the family, A fifth group in that category irl- cluded persons who could not be reached by investigators, some prob~ ably through deliberate efforts to resist questioning.

Be Thou A Blessing"
New Years Greeting Extended to Members of Beth Israel Mems Club, Jewry of Waterbury by Rabbi Mordecai Gifter-Urges Prayers for Divine Guidance and Inspiration
 for Future Planning.

The current issue of the always interesting and enlightening bull letin of Beth Israel Mems contains the following New Years mes- sage from Rabbi Mordecai Gifter:
 We are at the threshold of a New Year which promises to bring victory for the United Nations, In the wake of victory on the fields of battle there will lie the far greater task of winning the peace, Toward this end the Dumbarton Oaks conferences serve as Q pre- liminary stage.
 Will the statesmen of the world be able to cope with the many and varied problems included in the planning of New World Order which will guarantee peace and security to Mankind? VIII the cessation of hostilities bring forth progressive thought and ao. ton or will 1t see the strengthen Ing of reaction? These are burn ing questions which no one can answer at the present time. God alone, who ordains the course of history, knows the answer. And in the prayers of Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur we must appeal fervently unto Him for Divine guidance and inspiration in plan ming the future.
 We of Israel have most sieni- ficant role to play in the guaran- tee of world peace and security. Our forefather Abraham was eX- horted: Be thou blessing.' It Is our pre-ordained mission to be Q source of blessing among the family of nations, From us must there stem the blessing which Mankind seeks. The present war of anihilation and destruction, in which we Jews have been the worst victims, would seem to testify to the fact that we have not car- ried out our mission.
 The future demands of us that we realize the role ordained for us by our Torah. Whether or not we be invited to the peace con. ference does not determine our

SANE OBSERVANCE
 OF T-DAY. ASKED
Police Anxious to Avoid Destruction of Private
 Property in Celebration

With police preparations for "V- Day" formulated Superintendent Daniel J. Carson Is now requesting public cooperation on this days celebration. Property damage Is one of the many things the police de- partment wishes to prevent. In the heat of excitement produced by the celebration people may cause de- struction to private property which cannot be replaced or repaired ct the present time,
 Superintendent Carson requests; We want public cooperation on "V.Day". We shall try to prevent destruction of private property on this day but we cannot possibly cover every part of the city at once and therefore, we are making this appeal to Waterburians to control their activities. The police do not wish to act as deterrent to the celebration on "V-Day" but our first duty is to prevent destruction of property,
 "Celebration wll be the first thought of oil people on "V.Day" but 1t can be carried out in an or- derly manner without trouble or destruction. RiotouS celebration may result in disastrous conge- quences and many may suffer in- jury and loss of irreparable prop erty.
 we urge oil Waterburians to visit their churches on this day of vic- tory; to celebrate but in quite and orderly manner for though this may be c day of happiness for some 1t will be 0 day of sorrow for many others"
