COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS FOR THE COUNTY > FAIR ON THE INCREASE (Continued from page 1) Retirement of Lor en Massey from countless hours of vol­ unteer work at the fair, and sub­ sequent moving to Wisconsin, brought about the need for Edg- erton and others to move into this vital committee function. For years Massey has prac­ tically lived on the fairgrounds the final month to obtain com­ mercial exhibitors and then make sure asbifciibu »oS ready for them with electri­ city and other necessities. Also aiding this committee is Don Hansen, Fair associa­ tion president, who can be found at the fairgrounds throughout most of the hours of the day. Pamela Kortemeier, office sec­ retary during this hectic month, is now at the fairgrounds of­ fice from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Persons desiring space rentals or information about ex­ hibit space can contact Miss Kortemeier at the fair office. Through the years the number of exhibitors continues to grow, and Edgerton says he feels he knows the reason: "More businessmen are realizing the fair is a good way to reach people with new ideas, new products or new services. People attending the fair are in the mood to learn and try new products." Even if only a small portion of the 40,000 fair-goers sees LARKIN HEADS THE COUNTY SERVICE UNIT (Continued from page 1) In describing his own asso­ ciation and experiences with The Salvation Army, Hagedorn states: " I first became acquain­ ted with The Salvation Army while serving in the military forces in Italy during World War II, and I must say that their services were deeply ap­ preciated by all of us. "It has been my privilege to serve the Salvation Army as a volunteer for the past 10years, both in my local community of Des Plaines, and in the Great­ er Chicago Area. I have ob­ served the dedication of the Army's officers and soldiers, and their interest in serving human needs. Such dedication has been highly motivational to me in my own public ser­ vice efforts." an exhibit and a part of them stop, the exhibitor has made a solid contact. One or two sales pays for the cost of the space. Many develop a way to obtain iKLLst of persons interested in what they are offering. Those desiring machinery space or outdoor exhibit space- as for boats, trailers and camp­ ers-should contact Charles We^ngart, also through the fair ice. Exhibit space both in the big commercial exhibit building and in Massey hall is available now, Edgerton said early this week.

During 1968, the state em­ ployment service found jobs for 206,776 persons, more than half the number of applicants. Private employment agencies licensed by the state found jobs for another 219,608 persons during the year. By law, the ISBA noted, any person who has applied for un­ employment compensation or who has applied for or is re­ ceiving public aid, and who is able to work, must register with the state employment service. However, the employment office will try to find a new job for any applicant, including the per­ son who is employed but wants to make a change. TTie person who is registered as a job-seeker with the state employment service is free to apply for work directly with a prospective employer, or through any of the 815 licensed private employment agencies. Although private employment agencies are authorized by law to charge fees for placing a person in a job, often the em­ ployer pays the fee, rather than the employee. The state employment ser­ vice also is required by law to help find jobs for discharged and paroled convicts. The ser­ vice has a special bonding pro­ gram for such per sons and other workers who ordinarily would be unable to qualify for jobs that require bonded employees, such as some messenger and delivery services.
