DIAMOND RESORT
TO CLOSE SEPT. 1
George L. Howard, manager
of the Diamond Lake resort,
notified the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce today
that the resort will close Sep
tempcr 1. Howard cited the
shortage of labor as the reason
for the early shutdown of the
popular lake resort.
The Production Drive Com
mittee of the Wostlnghouse Ele
vator Co., Jersey City. N. J., re
ported that men in the plant had
salvaged 200.000 pounds of ma
terial, above the normal amount.
The migratory labor camp of
the Farm Security Administra
tion opened yesterday for the
registration of fruit harvest la
borers. The camp, located on
Earhart street just off Riverside
avenue offers camp privileges,
including tents, showers, wash
lng anj sanitary facilities, clinic
and medical service to bona fide
agricultural workers, states F. C.
Beck, camp manager.
A nursery school service can
be arranged when the need
arises. Present loans call for
equipment for 50 families with
more available if necessary.
While camp construction is not
complete at present, it will be
finished before the end of the
week, with little inconvenience
to early campers.
The United States Employ
ment Service will have a repre
sentative at the camp to make
agricultural placements. The
F. S. A. and the U. S. E. S. are
cooperating to help 'the pickers
find housing and locate work
in this area with the least possi
ble loss in picking time. Fruit
growers may contact the camp
labor supply most easily and
quickly through the service of
the employment service, states
Manager Beck.
