Many Enploye Requests
Get Fast Handling Here

by the local office, and employed
the same date.
Look Around
Sometimes the employer wants
to look around, and interview
more than one applicant, Mrs.
Marshburn said. Quite often they
ask us to send our best qualified,
and others who are qualified for
the job. In such cases we are glad
to send many of the best qualified
applicants as possible
An employer ordered an electri-
clan April 9, he lad two reterrals
on that date. The first one was
hired, the records show.
Another employer ordered a
cashier. One was referred and
hired by the employer the same
date. Another was ordered April
9, and was employed that date.
Not Hired
A stenographer was requested
by a local concern April II. One
was referred, but not hired due
to circumstances ever which 1--WE
nor the employee, had control. -
The firm had to complete some
last minute arrangements, and
the stenographer will probably 60
to work soon.
Out Of the seven orders, three
were for one person. One person
was hired for each job.
Six of the orders called for seven
people, and seven were hired.
Not All Filled
Manager Harold M. Hinkle said
the Office wanted to call to the
attention of local employers, that
the service is placing skilled per-
sons in their highest rate, as well
as laborers.
Not all orders are filled, at
once, the manager says.
Three months ago a local cloth
ing firm placed an order Cor an
experienced tailor. Today the tall
or will go to work.
1.-The employer was very skepti--
cal about our ability to find such
man, and we were not optimis-
tic," the manager said.
A veteran recently returned from
the wars, stepped in and filled
the job.

April 9, and on April II, the office
referred the person to the firm,
and she was employed i'm
mediately.
In Four Days
In another case, an employer

WILL INVESTIGATE If
+ NIPPONESE ASSETS
ARE SAME AS WHEN
RUSSIA ENTERED
AREA

WASHINGTON, May 15.-In-
formation was received here to-
day that Edwin Pauley, repre-
senting the United States, said
he will fly tomorrow from
southern to northern Korea to
ascertain the condition of the
assets the Japanese left in that
area when hostilities ceased.
Northern Korea is occupied by
Russian troops, and Pauley said
he was going there despite the
fact that he had not yet received
permission either from Moscow
or the Russian military governor
in northern Korea.
Pauley added that he assurn-
ed the Russians would accord
him privileges in northern Korea
as had been given Russians in
the southern area of that country.
1t was explained that Pauley's
object in making the trip is to
try to learn if the japanese as
sets are the same now as when
the war ended, or whether Rus
STA has stripped much of north
ern Korea of much of the ma
chinery and other installations
that the Japs left behind them.

Retiring Bonds
By Everglades

Everglades Drainage District
retired by purchase in 1945, $780,
900 of bonds callable April /,
1947. Funds on hand and tax
collections will retire fixed ma
turtles and $4,000 remainder
of the $690,000 callable April l,
1877, leaving a substantial antici-
pated surplus above the estab-
lished 100000 rdjerve, X. M.
Throop told The Citizen today.
Bonds callable April /, 1850,
amount to 100000. Since debt
service requirements will APP
proximate 100000 annually from
1947 to 1850, it is obvious that
acreage tax collections at rate of
present 100000 per annum,
would enable the district to retire
all bonds callable in 1850.
IL all anticipated calls are met.
on April l, 1855, the district will
have retired $S5o,00O by annual
payments, $690,0O0 and 100000
by call. On that date, the re-
mainder of the issue amounting
to $1,940,000 is callable. With
maintenance of a substantial re-
serve, and an excess of $500, 600
Of collections over annual require
ltaents for the five-year period,
there is sound reason for antici-
pating that the district will be
free of current bond debt on April
2, 1855.
