UNEMPLOYMENT SKYR0ckETs
584, 900 in SINGLE MONTH

WASHINGTON - The Depart
ment of Commerce reported that
unemployment in d-February
reached the highest total since Feb
ruary 1850. 1t said the number of
jobless workers increased between
January and February by $4,000
to 3,671,000. In recent years, the
February unemployment trend had
been stable, or even downward.
The estimate was based on Cen
sus Bureau surveys of $4,000
households across the nation. 1t
did not include as unemployed per
sons who worked as little as one
hour a week, workers who were
laid off for 80 days or less, or
housewives and others who were
not actively looking for a job but
who would take one if it were avail
able. Experts therefore thought
that the actual number of people
without work was much higher
than the Commerce Department
figures indicated.

nored" bills to provide financial
relief to federal employees.
Federal employees" it said,
SHOULD not be misled by the cur
rent attempt of the Eisenhower
Administrators assurance that
everything possible is being done
to strengthen the civil service sys-
tenn. The lodestone in a strong
civil service system is a saving
wage, not merely a wage which
keeps the employees on a marginal
basis year in and year out.
UNLESS and until the Admin
istration gets squarely behind spe-
cific legislation to increase federal
salaries, any statement about
strengthening the civil service sys-
tenn is nothing more than another
meaningless promise. Employees
are justified in their insistence that
any program designed to improve
federal employment can neither

Sen. Henry Jackson 3D., Wash. J
pointed out in a telecast that I'M
employment increased between Oc-
tober and February faster than at
any time in the history of the U. S.
including the depression of the
1905.
Meanwhile, the Department of
Labor produced figures on unem-
ployment among workers covered
by state unemployment insurance
that indicated the March total will
show another increase.
Between Feb. 10 and Feb. 81,
the Bureau of Employment Secur-
ity disclosed, unemployment among
workers covered by the state pro-
grams rose by $4,000 to 1921 900.
This is a new high for the year.
The BES figures reflect unem-
ployment among So million work
ers. The jobless totals they pro-
vide amount to between S. percent
and rs percent of the actual num-
Der of unemployed. So, for the first
half of the next Census survey
month at least, rise in unemploy-
ment seems assured.
The Commerce report brought
a furry of activity among govern
ment officials. They began a Sc
ries of meetings among federal
agencies compiling employment
data in an effort to find a wey
to correlate their findings. The
Commerce, Labor and Agriculture
Departments have been issuing sep
arate reports. Although covering
different aspects of the field, they
often appeared inconsistent and
have confused the people.

According to garden lover
Mrs. e F. Striplin of Farmville.
there's nothing like the Garden
Lovers Short Course held each
year from August to at Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute.
She's been attending regularly
since 1887, and says it's an annual
date for her.
Anyone interested in gardening
may attend Informal courses
and talks are given by Extension
Service experts on anything from
ornamental trees to vegetable gar
dens. This year between 100 and
l25 people attended from a
variety of States, some of them at
a very great distance from Vir-
ginia.
Mrs. Striplin, who often gets up
at five O'Clock to work in what
she calls her postage stamp gar
den on First Avenue. says the
course is inspiring. interesting
and helpful The expense is minor,
despite excellent meals. And the
associations very pleasant
Highlights during the four days
include talks on Planning and
Care Of Flower Beds cultural
hints on bulbs, ANIMALS and
a tour of the services
abOretum which covers three hun
dred acres a few miles from
Blacksburg, and a tour of the
biological station near Mountain
Lake, where all kinds Of tests and
are continuously be-
ing made.
Mrs Striplin was particularly
with hints on fertiliz-
ing that important ingredient in
all soil Although she herself pre-
fers leaf mold for most plants,
she noticed the prolific mulching
with sawdust at VPI, often two
an da half to three inches deep.

Her model was an old 18th CEN
tury photograph of DR.. Mettauer
perhaps six times smaller than
the finished portrait. Besides
drawing everything to scale, she
had difficulty discovering her
subjects coloring. She went to
see Miss Fanny Lyon, the doc
tors granddaughter, in hopes she
possessed some tales about the
doctors characteristics. but with
little success. She did learn, how
ever. that Miss Ligons mother
talked about his swapping, dark
eyes.
Then finally after she had de-
clded upon a reasonable color
scheme, she learned to her dis
tress that the portrait would be
hung in flourescent light but
would be unveiled in daylight.
She hurried around with the
painting trying it in various
lights. and found. to her great
relief, that DR.. Mettauer looked
neither too pasty nor too ruddv
in either kind Of lighting.

II was sure to paint him with
his hat on" says Mrs. Baird. L
understand there is some history
attached TO that. He must never
have been without it."
Or. Baird. it appears. was not
too enthusiastic about the project
at first. He still doesn't say much
even now that the painting is
finished. " smiles his wife. but l
think he is proud Of it. Now.
whenever someone comes to the
house. it's the first thing he will
show them"

should be one of pride for resi-
dents of Prince Edward.
