MANY REGISTER slim Christmas FOR ROAD JOBS IN PR ON STATE PLAN Twenty-Five at Work in County Since Monday Must Be Residents of Jackson County. Registration of unemployed men of Jackson county, for work on the state highway widening proj ects. Initiated ao a means of fur nishing relief, continued briskly to day, with close to 30 men regis tering with t!ie county court. C. H. Armstrong, resident engi neer of the state highway commis sion, rcpo-'t. that about 20 men hud been put to work since Mon- day, neediest. (a-es receiving pref erence. At j.:et?ont the vork is not thorou jhly ot jraniRed, hut the Mate hlghwiy commission ia work ng on a systematized plai-. It Is planned to place the men at work on both the Pacific and Crater Lake highways in Jackson county, widening- the narrow places. Similar work has started in Done-las and many of the Wil lamette valley counties. One ironclad rule is being ad hered to In assigning wo"k, thoso employed must be married men and :w.na fid residents of Jackson ounty. Siplj men with uenend ents will be f,lvcn consideration after married men with dependents have all been cared for. Transients Refused. Two single men, who have been residents of the county since last May, were denied their applica ' tions. A number of transient la borers met the same refusal. "The single man gets just as hungry as the married man with depend en la," said County Judge Alex Sparrow this morning, "hut he has no hungry children. He has nobody to hustle a neal for but himself. "Wo are not going to provide work for transients. Tlio county Judges and highway commission specifically agreed to this. They felt that the transients should have remained at home in the first place. The present depression will be something o'f iv blessing if it weeds out part of the auto tramps. I have hopes that a few, after they have starved nil winter, will havn ense enough to settle down and go to work, and not spend their last dollar for gasoline." 4 Stayton.
