Ready Response
As mentioned In The Statesman
some time ago, the Salem IT free
employment office planned to send
letters to the farmers of this
tion.'asklng them to find employ
ment for idle men and women
here' daring the dull season. Thin
Is very proper and feasible, be
cause the office has the franking
privilege, being operated under the
labor ' department of I he Hailed
States government. Dot some one
had to write the letters, and the
forces at the main office of the
Saiera Y. M. C. A. were very busy
HoyeverT1 the letters " were ' fur
nished to Sim Phillips, in charge
of the tree employment office in
the V. C. T. U. building, next to
the Statesman office, on the 14th.
and he has been sending them out
through the mails since that time.
