JOB SEEKERS ADVISED
 NOT TO COME "BLIND"

Men seeking jobs are Hooking into the Palmer district on the hope that construction projects, Road Commission work, govern ment agencies, home building or even farm labor will provide work.
 Some have union affiliations, some have leads, but many are coming "blind," reports show.
 Advice to outsiders is that they have some definite commitment or enough funds to carry them over stretch before risking their luck. Many of the government jobs are civil service Most con- struction jobs are union.
 Anchorage reports the greatest transient influx in history, ac- cording to the Salvation Army, basing the estimate on their calls for work and assistance. Some of these are coming on to Palmer.
