In more ways than one.
More workers than
ever before were in
the Texas labor force
in 1973, the Texas Em-
ployment Commission
says in its annual re-
port to Governor Dolph
Briscoe.
The Texas Labor
Force reached
5.139,000 last August.
Total employment was
up 162,000 for the fis-
cal year, and jobless
workers represented
only 3.4 percent of the
total work force.
Fewer jobless work-
ers claimed unemploy-
ment benefits each
month during 1973 than
in the corresponding
month of the previous
year.
Net taxes collected
from employers were
up from the preceding
year. The healthy state
of the trust fund caused
almost 60,000 Texas
employers to have
their experience tax
three-tenths of one
percent, effective Jan-
uary 1, 1974.
During 1973 the
Commission placed in-
creased emphasis on
one of its basic func-
tions, job placement,
the matching of job-
seeker and job open-
ing. That led more
employers to use the
Texas Employment
Commission as a
source for their work-
ers. Of the 614,285
non-farm job openings
placed with Commis-
sion offices during the
year, 430,193 were fill-
ed. Commission em-
ployees made 1.27 mil-
lion referrals in filling
these positions. The
Commission placed
more workers in jobs
than any other state in
1973.
Placement priority
was on helping return-
ing Vietnam-era vet-
erans secure employ-
ment. Opportunities
for jobs or for train-
ing were offered first
to veterans, as re-
quired by federal law.
In the metropolitan
areas of Texas, the
Commission has begun
to move away from the
traditional central
downtown office loca-
tions, to the outlying
metropolitan areas.
The Job Bank system,
with its daily compu-
terized area-wide job
listings, has made it
feasible to provide im-
proved services to
residents, businesses
and-industries in these
outlying aire as by es-
tablishing • convient
satellite or branch of-
fices.
These branch offices
are located where the
people and the jobs are
located, eliminating
inconvenient and ex-
pensive trips downtown
by applicants, and giv-
ing employers faster
service. Branch of-
fices were located in
the Dallas metro area
during 1973. Such of-
fices are planned for
other Texas metropol-
itan areas during 1974.
Through computeri-
zation, the Commis-
sion has streamlined
its services to appli-
cants. Persons who
are job-ready receive
less supportive ser-
vice than those who are
not job-ready.
Demands for farm
manpower are declin-
ing, but the Commis-
sion last year provided
extensive services to
farmers and farm
workers, especially
during the peak farm
seasons. Greater at-
tention to the role of
rural manpower is now
being given in the crea-
tion of jobs and in rural
development.

continued to adminis-
ter special manpower
training programs in
cooperation with the
Texas Education Agen-
cy, under the Man-
power Development
and Training Act.
Training was conduct-
ed in 4o different oc-
cupations in 32 com-
munities in Texas in
1973. The Commis-
sion also administered
the Work Incentive
Program in coopera-
tion with the Depart-
ment of Public Wel-
fare. This program is
designed to promote
the employment of
AFDC (Aid for Depen-
dent Children) recipi-
ents and thus reduce
the AFDC rolls.
E. B. Howard of
Cedar Hill has offer-
ed to act as a clear-
ing house for all those
wishing to form car
pools to save gaso-
line during the energy
crisis.
Howard is retired
and states that he is
willing to give his time
and telephone in order
to get the car pools
started.
He has made re-
quests to retired per-
sons in Duncanville and
Midlothian wo might
also give of their time
to contact him so car
pools might be coor-
dinated between the
three towns.
Anyone interested in
forming or becoming a
part of a car pool is
asked to call E. B.
Howard at 291-1703.

ON CRUSE
A week-long cruise to Port-au-Prince, Port
Antonio, Montego Bay and Nassau, on board
the M/S Starward of Norwegian Caribbean
Lines, was part of a recent vacation for Mr.
and Mrs. James C. Buckner of Cedar Hill.
The ice box melted from the scene when
electric refrigerators appeared. The
kerosene lamp faded into the past when
electric lights began brightening every
home.
Other electric appliances replaced the wash
tub and scrub board, the flatiron and the
wood-burning cookstove and eliminated the
tiresome chore of hand-washing dishes,
pots and pans.
Electricity. A vital part of everyday living ir:
so many ways. And Texas Power and Light
Company is doing its utmost to assure an
adequate supply for essential needs.
Electricity. Still one of the biggest bargains
in your budget.
