This was ordered as part of a tightening up of WMC jobtransfer controls is as effort fee meet labor shortages now repeated increasingly acute and admittedly beginning to impair - war production in some sections. The job-transfer “embargo" was set up, WMC Chairman Paul V. McNutt said, “in order to control migration.” It affects workers- of all kinds, whether they have been in essential or nonessential work. Under this provision, employers are forbidden to hire new workers who have “not lived in tha locality of the new employment throughout the preceding SO-day period,” unless the U. S. Employment Service, WMC hiring unit, gives its approval. The prohibition applies even where the workers get a release, termed as a "statement of availability,” from their former employers. Announcing a thorough reorganization of its system for filling military and industrial needs out of the rapidly dwindling pool of reserve manpower, the WMC announced a new program, which is based on the premise that the time has arrived when a man of draft age, regardless of the number of his dependents, must be either in essentia! industry or the Army.

Open Drive For Ambulance Fund The annual subscription drive to raise funds for the American Legion ambulance was launchad in Cape May this week with the distribution of letters appealing for public contributions.

Contributions to the ambulance fund should be mailed or delivered to Paul Snyder, treasurer, 31 Perry street.
