weeks during which work will be
furnished, and many other details.
The officials of Puerto Rico who
enter into agreements with the
United States for importation and
use of their labor, insist upon con-
tractual agreements to prevent the
exploitation of workers.
Several north central and north
western Ohio agricultural employ
ers and food professors have al
ready made arrangements for and
have recruited several hundred
workers to plant, harvest and
process seasonal crops this year
and all such recruitment arrange
ments were made through the Ohio
State Employment Service. The
basic policy of the OSES is to as
sist any and all employers by pro-
viding service. The provision OF
this service does not interfere with
the right of any employer to ac-
cept or reject workers, nor the
right of any worker to accept or
reject job.
The Port Clinton OSES office is
located at 110 West Second Street
and the telephone number is 1871.
L. R. Hetrick, Manager Of the local
OSES office, urges all farmers and
food professors to get in touch by
telephone or letter with his office
we'll in advance of the actual date
that farm labor will be needed.
The local office will soon be mail
ing letters with enclosed cards for
the use of farmers in informing
the USES as to the labor needs. 1t
is of the utmost importance not
only to the OSES but to the agri-
cultural employer if advance plan
ming can be made when agrlcul-
tural workers are to be needed.
In addition to the visible serv-
ices to the public such as match
ing workers and jobs and the pay
ment of UC benefits to unem
ployed workers, the Port Clinton
office of the Ohio State Employ
ment Service cooperateS with 10
cal community projects in numer
Gus other ways not so evident.
Because it is the job of the
OSES to feel the economic pulse
of the community, it is frequently
consulted by many area organiza
tions such as buSineSSmen'S aSSo
Citations, welfare groups, Chambel
of Commerce, labor unions, voca
tional rehabilitation and training
agencies, state and federal gov
ernment units, schools, veterans
organizations, etc.
Through its long operationa
experience the OSES is familiar
with the problems in the com
munity which affect the level o.
total employment, the problem O.
workers in finding jobs and EN-
ployers in procuring the most de
Sirable workers. Aiming at tht
objective of total employment il
the community, the Employment
Service continually develops coop
erative arrangements for ex
change of service with other 10
cal organizations, governmen
units and agencies whose activ
tiles bear direct functional rela
tionship with the Ohio State En-
ployment Service.
The OSES assists these group
and agencies by providing recruit
ment of workers, placement ant
counseling services. Technical ser
vices available consist of makiny
available the information, tool
and techniques of the Employ
ment Service and assisting man
agement and personnel of othe
organizations in applying them t,
their own activities. In addition
to helping identify problems ant
supplying general or specific la
Dor market information for plan
ming purposes, the OSES contrib
utes members of its local offic'
staff or State Administrative staff
many of whom are technical spe
cialists in various fields, to parti
cipate in community planning.
The need for definite commun
ity action to maximize employ
ment has been long recognized
The Ohio State Employment Ser
vice, through its Research ant
Statistics Division, started devel
oping as early as 1947, specialized
labor-market reports as an aid t
firms who were contemplating th
locating of new plants in Ohio.
