8 The News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Thur. May 19, 1949 Foreign Service Jobs Rotated To Ease Discomforts And Avoid Stress Bv JANE EADS WASHINGTON There's a Job lor you in one of those far away places you've been dream ing about if you are between the ages of 21 and 35 and can fill all qualifications. The State De partment's Division of Foreign Service seeks several hundred stenographers and a few clerk typists for jobs in the United States' 300 foreign service posts throughout the world. The entrance salary is $2,525 a year. If you prove satisfactory you get an automatic $120a-year raise and will be considered for promotion as vacancies arise. In addition, some allowance is made for those working under unusual or difficult conditions and at posts where living costs are in excess of those in Washington. Applicants for foreign service jobs must have been a citizen of the United States for at least five years and must be willing to accept assignment to any for elgn post. Only single persons without dependents are accept able for appointment to positions of a clerical nature. They must be In excellent physical condition and able to pass a physical exam ination comparable to those re quired by the Army and Navy for service overseas. All appli cants are subject to a security and suitability investigation. Per sonnel officers warn that the irevaillng hazards at the ma orlty of American foreign serv ce posts are relatively greater than at home. "Ordinary protective measures which are taken for granted In the United States simply do not exist at many olaces abroad," they say. "With few exceptions, It is risky to drink the water direct from the public supply, and fresh milk Is unsafe or non-existent. Although health hazards vary In degree and type, they are ex treme at about one-third of the posts." Adverse factors are extremes in climate and altitude, limitation In varieties of food, exposure to exotic diseases, inadequate hospi tals and medical service, unavoid able anxiety and stress due to crisis and other hardships. For these reasons a policy of rotation of personnel Is observed, and assignments are ordinarily not less than two or more than four years In duration and trans fers may occur on short notice. Thus an average career involves several changes with respect to culture, language, health and living conditions.
