Smaller Businesses
To Offer Most Jobs,
Trade Survey Shows

Business firms employing up to
40 persons will play major part in
solving the postwar employment
problem of the Washington area
and contribute to anticipated pros
perity. survey of the Washington
Board of Trade disclosed today.
The report. prepared for publica-
ton by Opinion Research Corpora
ton of Princeton IN. j. and to be
released in its entirety by the
boards Postwar Planning Commit
tee around August %. showed that
these small businesses alone antici-
pated the need for $4,000 new en-
ployes within a year after the Jap
anese surrender.
Firms with four or less employees
that provided $4,000 jobs in July,
1914, expect an increase of 1900
new workers within the year, a
boost of IA per cent. Business with
5 to 40 persons, employing a total
of $4,000 in July, 1914, expect to add
$1,000 persons, an increase of 80 per
cent.
Larger firm anticipate a some
what smaller increase in the num-
Der OF new jobs, amounting to
around 10 per cent Firms with so
to SO employees in July, 1914, pro-
viding $1,000 jobs at that time, look
for an increase of 1000 jobs, or 13
per cent. Firms with 100 or more
employees, may swell from 1903, 900 to
$4,000, an increase of only 9 per
cent.
Every effort will be made to en-
courage the expansion of small
businesses and the establishment of
new businesses here. the Board of
Trade said.
Although 712 firms with so or
more employees, out of the 2l,0OO
firms in the area. employed 81 per
cent of all workers in July, 1914.
the survey anticipated that a ma
jority will transfer to the smaller
firm bracket.
The survey was made with the
cooperation of nearly 1900 persons

FILMS USED TO
INSTRUCT in
machinery USE

Language barriers in the education
of European peoples to best uses OF
farm machinery and methods intro
duced by UNRRA are being overcome
by use of films, according to reports
today to the agency's headquarters in
Washington
Using the experience of the army
as well as large industrial concerns,
UNRRA is sending projectors and edu-
Sloyakia, Greece, Poland, Yugoslavia
and Albania where its supplies are
distributed.
Agricultural rehabilitation experts
and demonstrators who speak the
languages of the various countries
are present, but the men and women
assigned by the various governments
to assemble, use and maintain the
tractors and farm equipment are first
shown films of best methods. Thus
they see at first hand trained person
mel doing the jobs they are to take
up. The experts and demonstrators
fill in .afterward with details and train
ing.
Most of the film is obtained from
governmental and other sources.
Among the United States army films
obtained on loan are ones on truck
and tractor ignition systems, methods
of locating and correcting various
engine troubles, engine tune-up, and
proper use of shop tools and appli-
ances. There are others on welding,
of plows, drills, cultiva-
tors and mowers, on planting and
care of a farm garden, and on irri-
eating field crops.
From the British Information Serv-
ice, UNRRA obtained films on farm
methods ranging from blowing to out
door storage of vegetables, rat EXTERN
ination, and field ditching. Other pic
lures filling in on these subject have
been obtained from large American
and British industrial concerns dem
the use, maintenance and
repair of their products. These films
are shown where equipment from each
particular company is in use.
The distaff side has not been ne
elected by UNRRA. From the United
States Department of Agriculture,
slide films were obtained showing
methods of food preparation, handling
and storage, so that workers for the
European governments may pass this
information on to housewives who
must make the best possible uses of
he meager food supplies yet avail
able in Europe.

By BRUCE SMITH, Butte

We're a little tardy in announcing
the launching of another of those an
nual hippodrome drives by the Butte
chamber of commerce. This one has
been labelled the Keep Butte First"
drive.
The immediate goal and spade-work
for this drive is the collection 90 of
thirty-three thousand of Uncle Sans
e Pluribus unums. The drive chair
man says this collection is must
and when a c. of C. chairman says it
is a must, that is final-it is a MUST
no less.
Like all past drives this one is a
copper-riveted cinch, only more so.
You will readily agree when you
know that the drive has the okay of
Junior of the Sixth Floor, the unemo-
tional endorsement of the editorial
gimcracks and the languid acquies-
cence of the parakeets in the fore
castle of Butte's blackout rags.
Though further assurance is I'M
necessary, a partial list of the accom-
plishments of the C. of C. drives is
appended, viz:
Number of empty store buildings;
Number of empty residences;
Number of empty stalls in flop
houses;
