the Portland Community Chest
issued this week the following
warning:
“Keep your young folks at
home this winter.
“The unemployment situation
in Portland is such that we are
advising young people not to
seek employment here; but to re

they have enough money to tide
them over or friends and family
with whom they can live.
“Remember, disappointment is
a sad beginning to a young per
son’s career. It will be far bet

year or help at home, than be
obliged to return home disheart
