MANY ARE JOBLESS
IN TRANSITION ERA
Bv The Associated Press

Sudden unemployment resulting
t,om cutbacks in army and navy
contracts continued to sweep every
soction of the country Saturday, at
facting hundreds of thousands OF
war workers.
lust how many were jobless was
difficult to estimate because in
number of areas part Of the
slack was taken up by reconvert-
,ng industries eager to secure
help.
But the jobless legions were des-
tined to grow, according to John
W SNYDER, director of reconver-
son, who predicted there would
be 5000, 900 unemployed by Novem-
Der and possibly 100000 by
spring.
Meanwhile U. S. Employment
Service offices were crowded as
officials undertook the task of
guiding millions through the tran
sition period.
In the Chicago area, where 3d.
BOO were laid off, unemployment
compensation offices were so be-
sieged thhat new system to re-
ceive applications alphabetically
was devised. The USES had 1895
Job applications on hand.
An estimated 100000 to 300,0t
idle were expected in the heavily
industrialized Detroit area. Min
neapolis deported widespread lay
offs.
Ohio officials estimated 500, 900
were jobless in that safe. Col.
E. A. Lynn, chief of the Cleve-
land ordnance district, announced
cutbacks totaling 1888, 495, 400 at
fecting 232 Ohio companies.
In Kansas City 10000 war work
ers were laid off but the USES
there said it had 5000 more I'M
filled jobs than applications for
employment.
Baltimore, . shipyard and air.
craft center, counted 10000 idle
or soonto-be-idle. Most recent
blanket layoff was 1900 at Bart
lie Hayward division of Koppers
company.
The metropolitan area Of New
York city, including northern New
Jersey, had an estimated 100000
to 100000 out of work, although
some of these were temporary lay
offs. But Wright Aeronautical
Corp. handed final paychecks to
1900 at Woodbridge, N. J.
The State of New Jersey report
ed it had a $442, 900, 900 jobless in
surance fund. Also Frightening the
beconversion picture in that state
was an announcement by Westing-
house Electric Corporation that
eventually it could absorb at its
three New Jersey plants any of
10000 present war employees who
wished to remain.
In upstate New York, $4,000 to
oot0o were unemployed at Buffalo.
IOoO at Rochester and peak of
s'ooo to 5000 was expected in

Voting Is The Core OF Democracy

The Junior Chamber of Commerce of P~ascagoula is
conducting one of the most commeudable campaigns this com
munity has seen in sponsoring Citizenship Day, July 81, to
urge all residents of Pascagoula to register for voting. In
doing so they have brought public attention to one of our
greatest needs, which is the awakening in every citizen OF a
keen personal interest in good government and in electing
honest and efficient men to office.
True democracy is the greatest gift that we have
inherited from our f~orefathers, and ii is the greatest gift
we can bequeath to our children. It Is what millions
of American youth have fought and bled for. and for
which they have uiven up the best years of their lives to
toll separation and suffering.
But democracy Is ? principle that stays healthy only
so long as 1t is exercised and used. When people at home
do not avail themselves of their democratic privileges.
and do not live up to their democratic obligations. they
may permit the principle to wither and perish during the
very years their sons and husbands are fighting abroad
to defend IT. 1t is our duty and obligation to register. to
acquaint ourselves with the political issues and personal
tiles that are decided by public ballot. and to vote inteli-
gently out Of our own convictions. That Is what makes
a democracy strong and gives it a broad and stable basis
from which it cannot be toppled.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce is to be commended
for reminding us once more of our civic duties. We hope all
qualified citizens of Pascagoula turn out to register at the
courthouse on Citizenship Day. July 81. Those who don't are
made to drink. They can be brought face to face with the
vital priciple of democracy-the popular vote. But ii they
will have none of it, they should have no grounds for com
plant later against the officials and measures that other
people vote for.

Recreation Is Up To Us

The community of Pascagoula-not the officials alone,
but all of us-must decide in the near future whether it cares
enough about a public recreation program, and recreation
buildings and equipment worth 100000, to pay about one-ffth
the cost of keeping the program going. That decision square
ly confornts us now, and we urge the citizens to give some
thought to it in order to make up their own minds whether
they want to vote the program in or out, The recreation
program has no connection with the Junior Chamber of Com
merce Citizenship Day, but it seems to us to illustrate the
type of public decision which we think people should COM
Germ themselves with.
Here in brief are the facts about the recreation
program: The community now has a fine building on
Market street, one of the best in the south. for white res
idents. and a good building for the cclored workers and
their families; 1t has public beach and bathing facilities at
the municipal pier. g ball park. and the professional staff
of the recreation project has directed = useful and enjoy

community meetings and the like. All in all. we have a

And It seems TO us that this crowded war time community
needs the enjoyable and beneficial outlets which they
make possible.
the most advantageous terms of putting up one nickel to get
twenty cents of federal funds. The recent federal appropri-
ations act for the fiscal year provides for a $4,000 program
for the year at this rate. The city will be required to put up
about one fifth to get this bargain. We think that anyone
facved with this opportunity in private business would bust
a trace in his haste to close the deal. And we do not hting
the City of Pascagoula should pass this chance and let these
me ousalngS become empes 81 sae III tSs a fsao ne G ~ e y
The city put up more than $4,000 this week to assure the
first quarterly appropriation of $4,000 to support the pro-
gram, which will carry it until October l. But this money is
coming from sums needed for other purposes and the total city
contribution must be financed by direct means.
Therefore. the city officials are contemplating sub
hitting a tax OF a mill and a half to popular decision at
the ballot box. This money will be used for the recrea-
ton program and for other useful maintenance work on
parks. cemeteries and sanitation projeets-all of which
things need doing. If the people want these programs
they can vote for this small levy. If they do not. then it
becomes their decision and responsibility that these build
inus and equipment should not be used for the purpose
for which they were built.
We believe in the need for this program. In our opin-
ion 1t is a necessity. Whoever argues that recreation
work In a war time community is fancy trimmings and
unnecessary. simply is too short sighted to understand the
realities of community life. We need this program and
we hope that the community will vote to support it at
this nominal cost.
