J0BLESS FIGURES

State Department Esti
mates 1850 Unemploy-
ed In Southeast

Estimates of unemployed in Will
mington and surrounding counties,
released by the State Department
Of Labor to H. M. Hinkle, manag-
er of the local USES, yesterday
indicated 1850 persons in an idle
status.
The survey, covering a six-year
span from 1910 to the present
date, shows that 1880 were un-
employed in 1910, with, the num-
Der increasing the following year.
In 1912, when the war begun, non
working p persons totalled only
1000, and decreased to an all-time
low in 1913. when only 125 idlers
were reported.
The number jumped to 400 IN
1914 and to 700 the following year.
With the shipyard reducing pro-
duction and Camp Davis releasing
civilian personnel, 1946 showed an
unemployment figure of 1850.

count for the late increase"
Hinkle said, land there is one dis
crepaHcy the state figures do not
reveal. While in 1910 there we're
only 1,178 women unemployed,
this year there are supposedly
$500 non-Working women. They
are non-working, all right, but
only 200 females are drawing
claims at our office"
This proves that actually our
unemployment has decreased
since 1910, and there are in reali-
ty, only about 1850 persons today
who cannot find work in the Will
mington area. The great majority
of the 5,4O0 unemployed women,
r employed in the home, and
are not seeking jobs" the employ
ment office manager declared.
Hinkle repeated his convi :tion
that while there is a lack of in
dustry in Wilmington, there will
be unemployment and that the
city's greatest need is more and
more industrial development that
will provide jobs

charge to the receiver, the Legion
member said.
Urging auxiliary members to
bring their gifts to the Legion
