Cabot is moored while repairs are
being made to its flight deck.
The work on the Cabot is pro-

state the Aliens, that they had
great difficulty finding their way
about and particularly couldn't
find Ashby street.
Of interest is the fact that Mrs.
Mabel Allen used to spend good
deal of time here long before her
sister, Mrs. Crosby, settled here
and purchased property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Allen were
pressed for time and therefore
had to leave after only day OF
two here. Mrs, Mabel Allen plans
to stay on for another week be-
fore departing for her home in

ing World War II led to legal

Meanwhile, under increasing

agreed that Congress should pro-
duce an excess profits tax this
session provided the lawmakers
reassembled between tn e cleo

Congress now h S decided to

such a tax should be enacted

July /.
Certainly the pressure for a

grow after Oct. l when extra
taxes are withheld from weekly

Job Opportunities Continue To
Expand Unemployment Drops

WASHINGTON, d. c. - Job
opportunities in manufacturing,
food processing, and most other
types of non-agricultural en-
ployment continued to expand
in August, resulting in further
d decreases in unemployment
among workers in establish
ments covered by State unem-
ployment insurance laws, the
u. S. Labor Departments Blu
reau of Employment Security
stated.
Bureau Director Robert c.
Goodwin reported to Secretary
Of Labor Maurice j. Tobin that
new unemployment as repre-
sented by the number Of per-
sons filing their initial claims
dropped to 1870 400 for the week
ending Aug. 26, while the vol
ume Of continued claims de-
clined to 1~,046, 587. Continued
claims reflect the number of in
dividual claimants who had
been unemployed for a full
week.
"The big decrease which has
taken place in unemployment
among covered workers over
the last 8 months is indicated
by figures showing the current
volume of initial and continued
claims as contrasted with those
reported during the first part of
January this year." Goodwin
said. THE reports show that in
itial claims for the week ending
Aug. 26 were about 292, 900 less
than the 422 ,296 reported for
the week ending Jan. T."
Continued claims also de-
clined more than so per cent
below the years peak figure of
2,4l8,1 100 reported for the week
ending Jan. IA.
Goodwin said most Of the
state employment security agen-
cies in recent comments on
claims activity reported rises in
employment were responsible
for lower claims volume.
