I 2 tttlg CITY FRIDAY, dCTOBER 26, 1962 Area Jobs Price Index Also Turns Up Employment in southern Delaware County was steady to slightly higher through mid-September, the Pennsylvania State Employment Service reported today. A. T. O'Donnell, manager of the Chester office, said mid-Scptem- bec payrolls showed 39,600 at work, a gain of 100 from July and 1,600 more than January. Meanwhile the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index 'for Philadelphia for September rose 0.8 per cent to an all time high of 106 per cent. O'Donncll said employment was "steady to slightly higher in most of the establishments represented in the sample of 1GB major employers Chester area." "Termination of vacation em- ployes during the summer just about canceled modest employment increases elsewhere," O'Donncll said. NO SHIFTS O'Donnell said manufacturing industries, again demonstrating that employment totals are soundly based, have shown a notable lack of large employment shifts this year. modest changes that have taken place adhere to the current pattern of equalizing gains and losses to keep total employment in a narrow range," he said. Non manufacturing was up slightly as educational institutions called back persons who work during the school season.

Trade picked up a little. O'Donnell said firmness is evident in the employment picture for the remainder of the year. "Most manufacturing industries forecast stable employment with an increase indicated ror non- electric machinery and a small downturn in. textiles. STABILITY "Non manufacturing industries are characterized by stability and slow growth and this seems to be the pattern ahead for this group." The Labor Bureau said largest increases in major price ir.dcx groups were in apparel, up per cent, food, up 1.2 per cent, and transportation, reading and recreation, each up 0.6 per cent.

Herbert Bienstock, director of the regional office in Philadelphia, said the rise in food prices during the month was due mainly to meats, poultry and fish (up 4.1 per cent). "These increases were partially offset by decreases in cereals, bakery products, fruits and vegetables and dairy products, Bienstock said. PRICES UP Higher prices were reported for eggs, oranges, chicken, pork chops, ham, lettuce. Prices-were lower for apples, bread and potatoes. Prices were up for sheets, towels, detergents, blankets, laundry soap, women's woolen clothing, boys' sporlshirls, gasoline, used cars, physicians' fees and movies.

Toilet tissue, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, toasters, diapers, rayon dresses, aspirin and toilet soap were lower.

The authority --at its organizational meeting --also decided to try to set up a meeting with Marcus Hook Borough Council to discuss the possibility of Trainer hooking sewer line.s into the Marcus Hook plant. Officers of the authority were elected. They are Anthony P. Da- Vinci, chairman; John Bush, vice- chairman; William Nealey, secretary, and Elmer Cox, treasurer. Albert Blumbcrg, a Chester attorney and borough solicitor, was named (he authoritys solicitor and G.

D. Houtman, a Media engineer and borough engineer, was appointed the authority's engineer. Council had applied previously to the Federal Home and Financing Agency for funds for the system. The agency had replied Uiat the borough must first finance with its own funds a feasibility study for the system. That was done --and now the authority will apply to the agency for the federal funds for advanced planning.

The proposed sewage system is the outgrowth of an outbreak of infectious hepatitis which hit the Trainer area last year. Raw sewage was found flowing in ditches. About half the borough has sewers at present. Council established the five- member sewer authority in September. The other member is Charles Books.

The authority also set the second Tuesday of each month as its regular meeting date. It will meet at 8 p.m. in the Trainer Elementary School.
