JOBS ARE SCARCE
War-Industry Town Suffers
Full-Blown Depression
Muskegon, Mich., June 24 (U.R) An almost-visible smog ol
worry hangs over this city of 100,000 residents with 13,000 out
of work in a virtually full-blown postwar depression.
A once-booming war industry town, Muskegon is suffering
from a severe pin-point recession of a type that may hit soon
in other United States cities.
Worried leaders in the com
munity including labor union
ists, city and county officials,
the Chamber of Commerce, and
representatives of the Michigan
unemployment c o m p e nsation
commission are striving des
perately for a solution to the
sudden business slump that caus
ed wholesale layoffs overnight.
Eugene O'Neill, area director
of the compensation commission,
said flatly, "If this isn't a de
pression, I've never seen one."
About one out of four war jobs
have vanished.
Some civic leaders point out
that the city's number of em
ployed is about equal to that of
040. But this does not take
into account that 8,000 families
moved here during the past nine
years.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams says
the city is the state's most criti
cal unemployment spot.
Typical of those pounding the
pavements daily seeking work
is Morris M. Allen, 29-year-old
Negro who came here from Ala
bama during the war.
With five children to support,
Allen has been able to find only
part-time work as a substitute
cab driver. He averaged $1.25
a day for the two days he works
and receives a dole of $33.10
every two weeks.
"The worst part of it is," he
said, "I've traveled a 1 1 over
Michigan and still couldn't find
Job."

Early Celebration
Has Dallas Protest
Dallas A prediction that this
city would have an extended
Fourth of July because of a new
city ordinance on fireworks has
come to pass.
Firecrackers started banging
and popping all over the city
Monday when they went on sale
on the first legal date, June 20.
The council recently passed an
ordinance that extended the
legal period for the sale and
shooting of fireworks to conform
to the new state law on the sub
ject.
Kids lost no time in celebrat
ing. Four establishments licens
ed to sell firecrackers reported
brisk business on the first day,
and by Tuesday complaints had
started. The Softball association
reported that they interferred
with their ball game and
distracted the players. They
asked police aid.
But little relief is expected un
til July 5.

SKIN
LOVELINESS
m
Young skin stays soft and lovely, though exposed to
sun and wind, because natural oil glands beneath the
surface keep it lubricated.
After the teen ages, these glands begin to slow up
and need help. Only liquid lanolin, highly concentrated
as in Lanolin Plus, can give your skin the extra lubri
cation it needs. It is the closest known duplicate to natu
ral skin oil. You'll notice an immediate improvement 1
