In order to compile a permanent
index of all available local en-
ployment, a labor market survey
is being planned by the local u
S. Employment Service office, r
T. McKeithan. manager, announc.
ed yesterday.
Starting with a list of approx
mately $50 firms in the area EN-
bracing Columbus, Fender, Bruins
wick and New Hanover counties.
the employment office has worked
out a program for visiting these
offices regularly in order to main.
tain a current picture Of all jobs
available in the four counties.
During the war, Mr.. McKeithan,
explained, with VINO regulations
Oh manpower ceilings and priority
referrals, the USES was able to
keep its finger on the local EN-
ployment situation. In order to
satisfactorily locate veterans and
displaced war workers, h need
still persists for complete records
OF openings in the community,
through regularly scheduled con.
facts, he said.
Of the $50 firms to be included
in this continuing survey, about
ninety plants the larger organiza.

tCnities they afford.
The second group, comprising
about 40 smaller businesses, will

remainder, very small employers
with few job possibilities. will be
surveyed every ninety days.
Through these periodic surveys,
the local USES hopes to maintain
current file of where the local
jobs are, which will work to the
advantage Of the employer as well
as to the job hunter.
Thirteen of the larger industries
in this area already file regular
labor market reports with the
USES, in which they cover their
current activities and list the po-
sitions available at their plants.

TAR HEEL ELEVENS
FIGHT TO 1912 TIE

CHAPEL HILL, May 2o.-tHE
Two University of North Carolina
football teams, playing their first
Iuu lntrasauad game under new
Head Coach Carl Snavely, battled
to a 1912 deadlock here yesterday

The game brought to a clase a
slx-weeks spring training season
ordered by Snavely shortly after
he returned to Carolina as faotbail
mentor after decade spent at
Cornell.
The two teams, as evenly match
ed as Snavely could pick them,
hattled on even terms in the first
period, although the Whites, pac,
ed by Joe Curtis and Bill Voris,
drove to the Blue fivc-yard line
where tumble stopped the march.
After an exchange OF punts in
the SECOND, Tom German raced 50
yards around left end to score for
the Whites. Walters kick for the
extra point was wide. -~-e
: ln the third period, Curtis this
time playing fer the Blues, return
ed a kick to the White As, and with
a 16-yard run by Dennis helping,
drove for touchdown in six plays.
Dennis kick was wide.
Both teams got touchdowns in
the final frame, a 3o-yard pass
from Dennis to Wall accounting
Tor the Blue score. A seven-yard
scoring pass, Golfer to John Viii
liams, added the second White
touchdown after Veris had lugged
the ball on successive line smashes
for IS yards.
After the game Snavely said he
was well satisfied with the results
of the game and with the spring
practice season as a whole.
