Local Economic
Picture Static
For September
The Roseburg area's economic
picture remained slatic during
September, compared with August.
However, indications toward the
end of the month were for an early
increase in the number of unem
ployed. This, according to the monthly
report of F. C. Riley, manager of
the Roseburp office of the Oregon
Slate Employment Service, was
initially caused by lumber market:
conditions and very likely will be
further aggravated with the ad
vent of adverse weather in the fu
ture. The per cent of insured unemploy
ment compared to the average cov
ered employment for the area
stood at 3 2, compared wun tne
state percentage of 2 8, but it was
down a point from the 3 3 of the
four weeks previous. The state
total also was improved.
New job applications numbered
318, compared with 278 in August
and 307 in September a year ago.
Non-agricultural job placements
were 203. 399 and 130 for the three
comparative periods. Initial claims
stood at 372. compared with 294
and 429, and the average weekly
number who claimed a week of
joblessness was 405, while that for
August was 491 ana lor eptemner
a year ago it was 421. The active'
list of job applicants is 913. It wn!
9IM) in August and 628 in September
I960. !
The report states that during the
latter part of September at least
four firms in the lumber and ply
wood industry either curtailed pro
duction or shut down completely
I; cgely due to a decrease in mark-.
et prices.
Indications now are that iob op-'
portunities for the next 30 days
will be limited. This will depend
both on market prices for lumber
and plywood as well as weather j
conditions.

Dr. C. I.. Plansocn, V. O., re-
cently of Pennsylvania, opened his
practice at the (ilendalp Clinic
Monday. He arrived in Cilendale
before Dr. Robert Roth, from

essary, under Oregon law, for of
ficials of the Oregon State Hoard

examination of his record in the
East before his re-registration for
practice in this state.
Dr. Plansoen was born in New-
Jersey. He is a graduate of Hope
