1 i (AIDING THE JOB SEEKER Roseburg Office Of State Employment Service Is Operated On Expert Basis (Ed Not: This is th second of two articlss en the history and functions of ths Orsfos State employment sarvlca, by Own T. Foster, Rom burg office mansgor.) . By GEORGE T. FOSTER A stall of four persons Is engaged in interviewing applicants and taking orders from employers In the Roseburg office of the Oregon State Employment service. They are Robert F. Harvle, H. A. Keene, Vaughn M. Stratford and Percy M. Varney. These men are familiar with industries in the locality so that a minimum amount of time is used in taking orders. The office ts supplied with job descriptions which facilitate this procedure. By studying these descriptions, the deputies need only be con cerned with the slight variations that might occur In industries pe culiar to tliu locality. Employment counseling Is a phase of the service which Is quite Important. Applicants who have problems in selecting a vo cational plan due to industrial in jury which has necessitated an entire change in their methois of earning a living, or new en trants into the labor market, or applicants who have difficulty in holding a position, are some that are referred to the employment counselor lor guidance. The coun selor's duty is to analyze the problem, assist the applicant In formulating a plan and then to do his utmost to see that the plan is carried out. Percy M. Varney, the counsel jr for the Roseburg office, has un dergone a rather extensive train ing on this subject and is quite well qualified to fill the needs of the local office. In the not too far distant future, a testing program will be established whereby apti tude test batteries will be used to assist in the determination of vhether or not a plan chosen by an applicant is suitable. This test ing program will prove to be es P'.Mially valuable to high school graduates who have been unah'.e to decide in which fields to. be gin their careers. Employers will find the rjrogrart valuable in as certaining whether or not appU cants are particularly fitted to the type of work that they will be lequired to peiform. handicapped Also Aided A little-pubjiclztd function thst effects a relatively small num ber of applicants is that of se lective placement. This involves the placing of a handicapped per son on a job that he will bo able to handle in spite of his disability. The act that a rrson is handi capped does not necessarily mean that he In not able to be satisfactorily employed. If a perso.i normally emp'oy ed in a type of work requiring tl:e use of his legs were to sud denly lose ona of Them, the prob lem here wiuel be to find a type of employment that would not contain any ' g: tat ' amount" of walking. The person's qualifica i t'ons might enable him to handle a sitting-down job or some other kind of work in which the use of the legs is not emphasized. Some times the handicapped person is not qualified fcr any work otner thst that whlcn he has been do ing; and, In sucH cases, the ap plicant is veferred to the State Division of Vocational Rehaoili tatton for tra'ning. Another service is the facilities with which the office is equipped to make industrial analyses of personnel problems In a plant to eliminate unnecetsary turnover. Exact job descriptions of each oc cupation m the plant are nude which aid materially in the selec tion and refenal of applicants. Contact With Employers " A rather complete emoioyar visiting program has been set up in which malor market employ ers in the are are called on pe radically to orrtain statistical In fcimation vlich enables the of fice to anticipate employment trends. Malor market emplovers i-e those employers with which 75 percent or more of the "vork ers in the particular type of In dustry are employed. A labor n.wrket bulletin U Issued mcnthly which attempts to disseminate t!ie information that has btfen compiled frim tht statistics re celved. B. R. Shoemaker Jr. han dles the emp'ojer visiting pro rrnm and It is hit duty to effectu ally maintain an employer rela tionship with the office, t Special consideration to World War I and II veterans is given. For example, in the event that there are four equally quallfiea applicants for a- job, the veteran receives preference and is refprr. ed to the employer ahead of the oiners. me veterans' Employ ment service for the state of Ore gon maintains a Veterans' Em. ployment representative in the of fice for the express purpose of aeanng wnn veterans' emDlov mcnt problems. Although veter ans prooiems are not appearing with the regularity that they did shortly following the war's end. enough of them do crop up to keep the veterans' employment representative busy. This work has also been assigned to Bert Shoemaker. At times, qualified applicants lor jobs in the Roseburg area are not to be found and nrnvi. sions are made whereby the de scription of the Job order Is clear ed to other offices In the state that their files might be searched for someone to- fill the Job. Due to the fact that economic condi tions are not the same in every area, this procedure has often resulted in the filling of a Job when suitable applicants could not be found locally. In this same manner, persons who are out of work and are unable to find a Job In their chosen field locally, can have their qualifications and work history placed on a Job In ventory that ts sent to all of the local offices in the state and also to the state offices of the various states in the region. Many per sons have succeeded in finding work in other areas that would vA have been available to them without this service. Claims Expertly Handled . ' The payment of unemployment claims Is under the supervision of Charles A. Trone. The duties of administering the State Unem ployment Compensation law, with respect to the eligibility of claim ants, is one that requires a tech nical knowledge of the law and a common-sense application of the rules and regulations. The Roseburg office is one of four offices in the state which makes and issues its own decisions con cerning eligibility. The taking of continued claims, that is, the weekly reports of claimants, is handled by K. C Layer and Le roy M. Holme. - The secretarial staff, under the suoervislon of Barbara J. Lamb, is responsible for the compiling of . statistical reports, secretarial and reception duties. Betty Jo Tomltnson Is the receptionist, whose duties are to greet the ap plicants and route them to the proper desk for Interview. Doro thy Long handles the majority of the stenographic work und checking of forms for completion and correctness. In review, It is the policy of the Oregon State Employment service to maintain an effective and well-coordinated, free place ment service whereby employ ers and workers alike might have their job problems satisfied with out charge to either party; to pro vide employment counseling and selective placement service for handicapped workers and per sons In need of vocational read justment; to provide a veterans' Information center whereby vet erans with problems of any na- Murder Charge Filed At G-Pass GRANTS PASS, Dec. 28.-W) A murder charge has been filed against Frank Crawford Paul, 44, in the gun death of a rural moon- ture may feel free to call for a solution to their problems; to nru vide the community with up-to-date Information of labor market conditions and the possible trends in employment totals; to aid in dustries in overcoming their per sonnel problems by means of 1ob analvsis that more Intelligent re ferrals can be made, which would tend to reduce turnover; and, to the employers and workers of Roseburg and Douglas county, it is the policy of the local office to give the best and most expe dient service possible. . shiner who at first was believed a suicide.
