URGE FARMERS
 TO TAKE JOBS
Farm Hands Also Appealed to By WING Director; ; To
 Work in War Plants

Hartford, Dec. 19- State Man- power Director William J. Fitzger- aid of the War Manpower Commis- sion today appealed to the farm hands and farmers of the state to take jobs in far plants for the winter period and help relieve the steadily mounting serious manpower problem which resulted, he said, from the armies demand for addi- tional ammunition and the out- migration of workers from cities and the state.
 There are many farm hands and farmers who have worked in the war plants during of seasons but returned to till the soil when the planting season arrived. Many of these temporary workers have not sought employment in war plants again because of the apparent be- lief that the war was about over and that there would be no jobs available to them," he said.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that there were many plants in New Haven, Bridgeport, Meriden, Bristol, Hart- ford, Waterbury, New London and other cities of the state who are seeking workers even though for seasonal periods. The jobs, he said, were well paying and afforded farm hands and farmers with time on their hands, an opportunity of ac- cumulating some spare funds in the off season.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that he urged all farm hands and farmers to ap- ply to the nearest employment office of the United States En- ployment Service for placement ir some vital war plant in the state 'The increased demand of ouI armed forces has resulted in ser ious manpower problem. Our armed forces have called thousands oi men during the year, many of them out of these plants, and 1t is ur to those on the home front to carry on mad supply the armies and nav ies with the materials which are SC essential to victory over Germany and the Japanese" he said.

FURNITURE FIRM
 NAMED IN ACTION
Plaintiff Claims COfnpany's EmplOye Kept Proceeds
 From Rug Sale

A $2,500 Common Pleas court suit was opened this morning before Judge John D. Culliton, Bridgeport, with charges brought against the Waterbury Furniture Company, by Mrs. Laura MacDermid of Water bury and Plymouth.
 The plaintiff claims that one Will liam Kaner, parts unknown, a former salesman of the local furni- ture company removed an oriental rug and two broadloom rugs from her home for purposes of cleaning and re-selling to others, proceeds from which were to be returned to Mrs. MacDermid. Kaner allegedly sold the rugs and retained the pro- ceeds for himself.
 The defendants disown any responsibility claiming they did not authorize the former salesman to transact the agreement and that the plaintiff had negotiated the en- tire transaction without their know ledge. The plaintiff denis this, claiming she was given ample un- derStand1ng that the transaction was with the Furniture Company.
 Authorities of the local concern claimed today that Kaner was now of parts unknown and in turn owed them money.
 The Colonial Trust Company, this city, today brought action in the Common Pleas Court against one Frank G. Vaughn, Jr., this city for paymnt of a balance said to be due on two promissory notes and in amount of $243.37. The plaintiff claims the notes wer made in 1943.
