The move is another growing out a case In which Bailey, a state Erison inmate, was moved to the louglas County jail for safekeep ing by Warden Clarence T. Glad-. den. Bailey's attorney; Charles O.

Douglas Co. Employment Picture Currently Bright; Hinges Largely On Weather The employment picture In Douglas County was in ita best situation since August 19S3 as the month of September came to an end, according to George T. Fos ter, Roseburg manager for the Oregon Employment Service. Foster, in his month-end report, said estimates of unemployed to tals dropped 20 per cent from Aug ust and were 24 per cent less than for September 1953. Employment totals reached the highest point of the year during the month. Agricultural harvests and seasonal lumber operations were at their height, resulting hi nearly fun employment in tne Roseburg area. The supply of available workers dwindled sharply during the month wiui the greatest shortage appear ing in the semi-skilled occupations. This was followed by the service. clerical and sales, and skilled classifications in that order. Commenting on employment trends, Foster said reports from lumber employers in the area in dicate no change in production schedules during the next 60 days providing that present weather conditions prevail. Each day with out rain, he pointed out, presents that much of an opportunity for the sawmills to accumulate a log supply for the winter months. (The Weather Bureau said Tues day that showery weather will ta per off during thi remainder of tne week).

YOUTH JAILED Orvis Leon Meston, 19, Yoncalla, has been lodged in the county jail in lieu of payment of a $25 fine imposed by Drain Justice of the Peace Clarence Leonard. Meston was charged with reckless driving after bis arrest Monday by state police. Road and building construction has no particular let-up in sight and should continue at tne present rate for the next 60 days, said Foster. He added that trade and service industries, the last to feel effects of a general shutdown and the last to note a recovery, experienced a slight increase during early Sep tember. The increase leveled off at the month's end. No marled increase in this field is expected until Thanksgiving. He noted there is do expected change in the employment totals until the tall rains begin in ear nest and wash out dirt roads at the higher elevations. Looking back on economic de velopments. Foster said that with the lumber strike a thing of the past and the area enjoying nearly full employment, economic condi tions are rapidly regaining a sound tooting, it is expectea mat it wui be some little time octore every thing is back to normal, but the trend is in the right direction. The usual forecast of employ ment possibilities at this time of year is dependent entirely upon weather conditions. Reports from employers engaged In outdoor ac tivities indicate no cessation In their operations until such time that they are forced to shut down because of rain. Until such time arrive, employment totals should remsin comparatively high. Thought Dead In Haiti City Casualty List Still Uncertain, With All Communications Out , PORT-AU-PRINOE.
