Job Openings In
Upward Swing

Employment opportunities in
Ohio took an upward swing dur
ing March. with manufacturing
and seasonal job openings con-
tributing to the more than 20 per
cent increase in placements made
by the Ohio State Employment
Service, Frank j. Collopy, Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation
administrator, reported.
The Employment Service offices
in 81 communities filled total of
1920 jobs last month. The pick
up in employment was reflected
in the fact that March place
ments were 10 per cent above the
total reported for the same month
year ago.
Manufacturing placements con-
tinued an upward trend for the
third consecutive month, account
ing for 5,310 jobs jump of
II per cent above Februarys
placements. Stepped-up hiring by
manufacturers of primary metals,
fabricated metals and non-electri-
cal machinery accounted for more
than half of this increase.
In. addition, Collopy pointed out,
seasonal demands for retail trade
workers and domestic help ac-
counted for the major share of the
% per cent increase in non-manu-
featuring placements. More than
1000 jobs were for short time
work lasting three days or less.
More than 1000 men and 5000
women were placed in jobs dur
in G the month. Of these, more
than 1000 were veterans, almost
$500 were persons over As years
of age, and 1.481 were youths un-
der 81 years of age.
New job applicants registering
with the Employment Service
dropped eight per cent to 32,697.
However, persons actively seek
ing employment rose to 211, ,746.
Job openings untitled at the end
Of March totalled $500 - an in
crease of 38 per cent over the
total at end of February.

Indian Woman's
Bones Discovered

A skeleton, believed to be that
of Indian woman buried 80
to 200 years ago, was uncovered
in a small mound on the J M.
Willis Farm, two miles north of
Bloomingburg, Wednesday, by
Irwin J. Patrick, conservation Of
ficer for Fayettc County.
Patrick was digging in a fox
den and struck bones some II TO
IA inches under the surface. He
found the skull, the lower jaw
and some bones Of the upper part
of the body were well preserved
but did not excavate further to
uncover the remainder of the
bones.
The skull was abnormally small,
but the teeth indicated that the
age of the Indian woman to have
been around 90 years. The lower
jaw was heavy, characteristic of
the Indian.
The teeth were badly worn but
none showed cavity.
1t is possible the skelton had
been buried in d crouched posi-
ton
Invariably, the Indians buried
their dead in shallow graves be-
cause of the difficulty of exca-
waiting with circle tools. Hundreds
of burials found in the county
have been at depth not to exceed
80 inches. Most of them were two
feet or less under the ground.
After making the find Wedncs-
day Patrick collected the bones
and notified Prosecutor Clark
Wickensimer as we'll as the owner
of the land.
