Hampshire Employment service, to become eligible for benefit payments xmder the state unemployment compensation act, resulted in a marked increase in the number of new registrations received by the Employment Service during November. Mrs. Abby L. Wilder, director of the service, announced Tuesday that 1,603 new registrations for work were received in November, bringing the total number of active applications for work to 17,840 in the 12 branch offices of the service. "This increase in registrations has been expected," Mrs.

Wilder said, "because of the ruling that all unemploy- ed persons must first be registered with a public employment office before being considered for benefit payments, under the state's unemployment com-' pensation act. Benefit payments will begin January 1, and persons who meet all the eligibility requirements can make it easier for themselves by registering now." With the wave of retarded "business finally making itself felt In New Hampshire, the number of placements made by the service took a sudden drop during November. Only 1,085 placements were made, of which 770 were in private employment end 315 in public works projects. The report stated that 518 of the placements in private industry were of a permanent nature, and 252 were for less than a month.

Also, for many years, New Hampshire had been passing through a period of timber butchering that the present generation scarcely can "Moreover, in the southern part of the state, farms had been abandoned and large areas of brush and second gro.wtn pine had sprung This pine was valuable for box board mat-! erial, and the. portable sawmill was set to work, creating slash and fire hazards like those that had been set up farther north. New Code Adopted. "The General Court of 1909 passed a new code of forest fire laws, with Forestry Commission, a state forester and town wardens and deputies. The Forestry Commission, of course, previously had existed, but it had no adr.

ministrative authority. "Good roads, which permit quick transportation by automobile to the most remote places, probably have increased the fire danger, but they also permit the speeding up of fire control work; while the increasing use of the telephone makes it possible to spread toe fire alarm, far and wide. "Further there has been notable improvement In fire fighting equipment. The state now owns pimps of knapsack type and portable pumps, which are placed with fire departments to be used when and where they are needed. Many towns have acquired better types of hose and motorized equipment, help greatly in transmitting firemen to the scene of a fire and increase their efficiency when they arrive.

'Water hole' construction has made it possible to secure water in many places where it was not before available. The state, with the help of the CCC has constructed nearly 1,000 water holes in 70. towns, 'Bdiile many towns have constructed holes in out- THE "MOST GIFT" FOR; THE LEAST MONEY!

"Some help has been received by the state from the federal government under the Clarke-McNary act, and it has been possible to set up an adequate protective system, that includes prevention, suppression of fires. We can control the burning of brush, order the removal of slash from places close to high-, ways and railroads and can license and supervise portable "Detection of fires greatly is aided by 23 modern steel watch towers, kept open by the state through the more dangerous periods of the year.

"In 1936 there were 387 fires, covering 2,011 acres, compared with an' average, for 27 years, of 371 fires, covering 8,280 acres. It will be noted' that the yearly number diminished greatly but there has been a marked drop in the amount of territory burned over.

"This year there were 413 fires, covering 2,500 acres. The most serious in Merrimack county, in Dunbarton, Franklin and Hooksett, with 120 acres burned over in the three places." SENTENCED IN U. S.
