At the same time, the Labor Department said the increase in the number of Americans with jobs slowed last month after sizable gains earlier this year. Employment rose by 74,000 in August to 88 million out of a work force of 95.5 million, after a gain of 400,000 in July.

There were some bright spots in the job picture, including a 240,000 increase in non-farm employment and improvement in the unemployment rate for adult men, usually the family bread-winner. And the unemployment rate climbed at a slower pace than in June and July. After gradually falling since the spring of 1975, joblessness jumped a half a percentage point in June and July, followed by the one-tenth of a per cent hike in August. In August, the number of people without work increased by about 80,000 to 7.5 million, the largest since 7.8 million couldn't find work last December. The increase in joblessness has thrust unemployment onto center stage as a key issue in this fall's presidential election campaign.

The increases have raised new fears among economists over the path of the ecnomic recovery, and could create serious political problems for President Ford, who in campaigning for election, has adopted moderate economic policies to avoid a resurgence in inflation. The Democrats and their presidential nominee, Jimmy' tCarter, have made jobs their wo. issue and are calling for new measures to reduce unemployment. In addition, AFL-CIO President George Meany is blasting the Ford administration on the issue. In his Labor Day message, Meany said that "true unemployment counting those perons who have given up looking for work or have accepted parttime work is 10.3 percent.

Since reaching its recession low in March, 1975, employment has grown by 3.9 million, tSfX ViD-JW ift. ii 11 iff W-'V VtFK jbu, By The Associated Press After one trouble-free day of court-ordered busing for school desegregation in Dayton, officials say there is no reason the rest of the year can't be just as calm. Classrooms opened without incident Thursday for half the city's public school pupils. Attendance was below normal, but school officials blamed some of the drop on state and county fairs and the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Under a federal judge's orders, 18,421 of the school district's.

41,928 pupils are being bused to achieve racial balance. The other half of the school sytem opens today, with regular sessions beginning next Tuesday. Sample classrooms checked Thursday showed 77 per cent of the projected attendance, school authorities said. The calm in Dayton contrasted with the demonstrations that have greeted the start of a second year of busing in Louisville, Ky. Police used tear gas to break up an unruly crowd Tuesday night, and.

Robert Grant, assistant Jefferson County police chief, said anti-busing marches "are planned in the Louisville area for tonight and Sunday night near Valley High School, an area where resistance to court-ordered busing is strongest.

Implementation of coeducational physical education classes at Marshall County Junior High School has met with some opposition. Approximately 30 parents came before the county school board Thursday night to express their grievances. Most were from the New Testament and New Hope Missionary Baptist churches, they said. The coeducational classes were arranged for the ninth grade. School Supt.

Reed Conder said the action was taken to comply with federal regulations. Students in the classes are required to wear shorts and T-shirts. Some of the parents objected to the mixing of sexes in such dress for moral reasons. Others in the group expressed opposition to coeducational classes simply because there are no options for all-male or all-female PE activities.

WDXR Building sold to clear water r77 ByRONCLARK Sun-Democrat Staff Writer Almost 10 years after the formation of the Massac-Clinton Road Water District, water is expected to begin flowing through the system's mains within 30 days, according to Hunter Martin, consulting engineer. Martin said the 26 miles of water mains are more than 75 per cent complete and pressure-testing, flushing and disinfecting procedures should begin sometime next week.

Water meters will be installed shortly thereafter and customers can expect the long-awaited water service to begin sometime next month. Service, however, cannot begin until a elevated storage tank is erected on the Clinton Road about a quarter-mile from New Hope Road, Martin said. The tank is being prefabricated by Caldwell Tank a Louisville firm, and will be trucked in and erected at the site within the next two or three weeks, he said. A booster station will be located on Massac Church Road, about a half-mile south of U.S. 62 for pumping water into the system and tank, said Martin.

Although the system will purchase its water supply from the City of Paducah, the booster station is necessary, Martin said, to maintain adequate pressure. A chlorination device also will be incorporated into the system at the booster station, he said. The Paducah water is adequately chlorinated, Martin noted, See LONG WAIT Page 2, Column 4, This Section.
