Goes
 Up During August

WASHINGTON, (R- Employ ment jumped 1,153,O in August to reach a new record high of 62,- 367,0O0, secretary of commerce Sawyer said today.
 It was the first time the 62,0O0,- 900 mark had been crossed. The August total for those with jobs was 752 above the previous record 61,615,O0O in July, 1948.
 Secretary Sawyer commented:
 "The economy was gradually moving toward full employment before the Korean crisis. With in- creasing defense preparations, it may be expected that this trend will continue at an accelerated pace"
 Factory hiring was chiefly re- sponsible for the upswing in jobs. This sent the number of persons in non-farming work to an unpre- cedented 54,2O7,OOO last month.
 Unemployment, a bugaboo just year ago, dropped 713,000 last month to. 2,5OO,OOO, the lowest since the start of 1949.

Music Teacher
 Yearns For Flights Over Alaska Again

An interest in Alaska has brought ex-school teacher Jane Robbins to Alaska twice in the past five years, and is likely to bring her winging north again in the very near future, according to a story printed in recent edition of the Christian Science Monitor.
 The one-time music teacher, who is member of the Ninety Mines, a woman's flying organiza- ton, and who flew for the U. S.. Wasps during the war, originally came north to do job of house. keeping. She came in 1946 to over see her brothers family of three during summers mining season at Candle. In her spare time, she was recruited to fly freight and passengers, for the firm, the Arctic Circle" Exploration O.. .":=|.
 Miss Robbins next returned in l949, when a fellow pilot of her summers bush pilot days, called her at New York to hop north in hurry and help him find a polar bear for. couple of Arctic hunt CTS. That was her first experience in ski-equipped planes and with winter flying conditions in the far north, where it is often difficult not to confuse snow-covered tun- dra with wintery grey skies. Jane managed it all right, though, and while she was wheeling north along the Arctic coast on polar bear reconnoitering expeditions, she also was enlarging her film collection of Alaskan scenes.
 With bear hunt chores com pleted and movie film exhausted, she turned south again, expecting to settle down to a humdrum ex- istence of music teaching. Then one day the lady pilot happened to read an advertisement about a new type of plane, that seemed to her just made to order to meet Alaskan flying conditions.
 She felt so enthusiastic about the planes future that she wrote its manufacturers. They decided they could use a lady with Jane's enthusiasm, so now she's selling airplanes. And deep in the bottom of her heart is the hope that not too far in the future she'll be sell ing that made for Alaska" plane to Alaskans.
