The monthly report of the service shows that 37,305 persons per-sons were working in the county coun-ty during March while unemployment, unem-ployment, which "generally has been relatively low all winter, moved to an even lower low-er level." The number of unemployed workers during March was 2,8 . 50 or 7.6 per cent of the labor force unemployed during February, Feb-ruary, while unemployment in March of 1964 was 8.3 per cent, . It also notes that 2,000 more persons are in the labor force than last year at this time. The service says business showed an increase in March of 7.3 per cent over March of last year. But the report says, "businessmen "busi-nessmen and consumers are not too venturesome pending the steel contract negotiations" In general, the report shows, if an early contract agreement is reached, economists in Utah Ut-ah as well as across the nation are predicting a banner year. On the other hand, if there are labor troubles and a steel strike, the area certainly will suffer an economic setback. Strawberry Days Advertised on T.V. In New Zealand Mr. and Mrs. G.
