Libraries Offer
Free

1t has been wisely said
that knowledge dispels error.
We all are beginning to real
ize that the troubles of the
world are to be laid to er-
roneous thinking or ignor-
ance as to the common facts
and purposes of life.
1t is beyond dispute that
the churches are the great
est source and fountainhead
for the PRONUNCIATION and
spreading of spiritual know
ledge and influence and the
desire for freedom and indi-
vidual liberty under God.
1t is. likewise obvious to
most of us that libraries are
one Of the worlds greatest
sources for the PRONUNCIATION
and spreading of secular or
worldly knowledge to and
among the masses of the peo-
pie Of our country. Everyone
knows how valuable libra
ries are to the state and ma
ton.
The main purpose of OBJ
serving National Library
Week is to interest and
arouse more people in get
ting the vast benefits of
knowledge and entertainment
awaiting them in local Ii
braries - and all of this
free for the asking.
Also, another objective of
this week Of observance is to
make local libraries avail
able to more people in all of
the localities of the state -
a goodly number of Missis-
sippi communities have no
library service or facilities.
In order to correct this great
deficiency or inadequacy all
of the people must demand
that the legislature appro-
pirate sufficient money for
such expansion of services as
recommended by the State
Library officials.
Everyone is urged to visit
his local library during the
week maybe it's personnel
will be serving coffee. Any

Holmes County Boasts Labor Force OF
1883; Decrease Of Fifty Over March

The total civilian labor
force in Holmes County, cur
rently estimated to be 1888,
shows a decrease of SO over
the preceding month and an
increase Of ITO persons over
the same period one year
ago. The increase is primar-
lily due to the increased en-
ployment in manufacturing
industries, particularly in
miscellaneous and apparel
manufacturing. The trend in
total manufacturing is ex-
nected to continue upward
throughout the year, 1868.
due TO expected increase in
employment in present estab-
'ishments and expected new
industrial employers moving
into the area.
AAAAkx0 sA%A ~AAAS
Total employment shows
an increase of 20 over the
preceding month and an in
crease of 260 over the same
period one year ago. The in
crease over the preceding
month and one year ago is
primarily in manufacturing
establishments. Some increase
is shown in retail establish
ments and tractor operators
in agricultural employment
due to season of the year.
Unemployment
It is estimated that 440 per-
sons were unemployed dur
ing March 1868: this repre-
sents Sc per cent of the total
civilian labor force. This is a
decrease under the ga per
cent for the preceding month
and a decrease from the SO
per cent Of the same period
one year ago. This decrease
in unemployment was due to
the increased number of nom
agricultural job openings
available during March, 1868.
and more favorable weather
conditions than existed in
previous months.
Labor Supply And Demand
At the end of March, there
were 234 active work appll-
cations on file at this office,
excluding agricultural and
domestic applications and ap-
plications taken at the high
school and junior college un-
der the counseling and test
ing program. At this time,
we do not have a shortage
of workers in any occupa-
tional classification except
experienced female sewing
machine operators, and ex-
perienced supervisory paper
mill workers. To alleviate
shortages in these two CLASH
fications we are using our
clearance system in Area OF
Direct Clearance Offices and
in states jawhich are most
likely to have available ap-
plicants experienced in the
paper and pulp industry. We
have a plastic plant that is
