Near Armory Vance Kester, local businessman, plans to construct the units in three buildings on a tract southeast of the intersection of Oxford Place and Greenwood Drive.

This is a rise of 740 workers in the last 60 days.

Chief Gainers Seasonal rises in agriculture and construction and advances in furniture and textiles were the prime causes cited for the increase. The present total exceeds that of a year ago by approximately 235, one of the reasons for employer optimism. All the growth occurred in manufacturing as a result of new industries and the expansion of existing ones. These industries added some 255 workers to the payrolls since mid-May for a total of 19,550 currently employed.

Many Still Out However, recent employment gains have not yet been able to overcome the total unemployment problem in the past year. Approximately 3,530 are presently without work as compared with 3.200 in May and 2,850 in July of 1960. The current level of unemployment represents an increase primarily because of students who entered the labor force in June and a sizeable number of immigrants to High Point.

These people raised the civilian labor force to 42,515, a growth of 1,090 from the May figure. The students distort the unemployment picture somewhat because many are only in search of summer jobs which are hard to find. Since Last Year In the overall manufacturing view, some 370 people have been dropped from payrolls since last year at this time. Furniture and machinery affected the over-the-year loss because of plant closings and a decline in the economy earl- this year. The figures, especially for the furniture industry, show that employment is on the rise again.

Losses were also experienced in trade and construction in the nonmanufacturing areas, but they were cancelled out frr the most part by an estimated gain of 350 in government. A seasonal expansion in agriculture drove other nonmanufacturing employment figures up by 425 workers.

Sgt. Ed Roberson reports that the Air Force quota for the month has not changed from 15 men, even though there are unofficial reports that an increase can be expected. The Navy quota for August has actually decreased, from eight to seven, recruiter Chief Petty Officer William Steelman says. The decrease is the result of a swelling of Navy forces as reserve units are put on active lists. All three offices are expecting a busy month as waiting lists grow, and the recruiters are al- 1 wed to exceed their quotas for local residents.

They report that there has been no change in the standards set by the services or in the freedom of choice given to volunteers in their training. arrested when he was taken to: The school will begin each the Sept. 2 when Jackson, about 60 of Fayetteville, retires as a rep a local barber shop, resentative of a national The theft occurred between concern.

The fire department answered two false alarms yesterday afternoon. One was turned in by two boys, aged 10 and 6, who crawled into a window of the High Point Fabricators Inc. plant at 1104 Ward St. They said they had been in the building about 10 minutes when they pulled the alarm handle without knowing what it was. When the fire engines arrived, firemen found the two boys hiding in a pile of foam rubber inside the building.

The second call was to the Harriss and Covington Hosiery Mill, 308 Oak St. The iientity of the person who turned in the false alarm is unknown. Deputy Fire Chief Tal Ellington reminds that every false alarm costs the city approximately $125, bringing Sunday's total of wasted funds to $250. The police department had been plagued with malicious calls Saturday night. Five ambulances were summoned to Kennedy Hill in response to false reports of traffic injuries.

The fire department was also called yesterday to 611 Hulda the home of Boykin Porter. A short circuit in electric wiring on back porch had ignited the fire.
