Big companies are hunting for

Happy job hunting days are here — "
again.
$15.000-a-year executives and girls
'§ right out of a typing course are, | § °° saying. "I want a job for $50 a
week.” | That's how Suzanne Mathias, partner in a Manhattan employ-
ment agency, knows the pendulum | is swinging back toward the work- -
ing girls’ market, ' | “It’s almost impossible to find) a girl who'll take a job at $40 a week now,” she said. “Bix months, ago. although they weren't exactly erying for them, the girls would {ake the job at that figure.” ; But things aren't yet as tough for employers as they were dur--ing the war years, Miss Mathias bastened to add. { ‘Companies are still being choosy about the men they hire for those executive jobs,” she said. “And a girl still has to prove she has something to offer before an employer will hire her at $50 or more a week.”
War Years Fresh
The labor-scarce war years, when companies had to hire inexperienced and often unqualified people, are too fresh in. most memories, Miss Mathias figures, to foster an open-handed feeling toward beginners. “Those days when an employer would say, ‘just send me anybody, 80 long as she breathes and is warm,’ aren’t back with us. But if job applicants keep holding out for higher salaries and our old clients keep calling up to fill jobs they haven't filled for years, then something's got to give,” she said, intimating that the employer was the one most likely to surrender. She talks to about 30 job applicants a day in a crowded office in the job center. About half of them are young women from 20 to 26 years old.
Glamour Again. “It was just getting to the place where girls realized that a nice;
holding out for ‘the perfect job'"

DISHING THE DIRT—
By MARGUERITE SMITH 1 Times Garden Editor { Q- Would you please tell some{~—thing about when to cut back the new canes on black raspberry bushes? I tried cutting! them -back last year before 1 picked the crop of berries so 1! could get in to harvest the ber-| ries that were ripe but I evidently trimmed them back too far as my crop was quite scant this vear. N. Chester St. !

A Important point to remember!
about raspberries when pruning is that they bear next season's! crop on this season's new growth. If you trimmed out much of the new growth last year you simply cut out the bearing branches. Cutting back | new growth starts: ideally with topping : just as soon as these | new shoots are about waist! high. That, with later pinching! back as new shoots grow out, keeps the bushes at convenient picking height. If vou haven't -already pinched back new canes, let them go now until’ early next spring. then you #an top the strong canes and cut out ali the weak ones, .
