4 The Newi-Review, Roseburg,
This month and next are times of de
cision for many of Douglas County's young
people.-
. They will be graduutinir from high
schools with the choice of either (fointr
1o work permanently or preparing for
college.
Now, probably more than ever in the
past, that decision may be the biggest
they ever make.
Secretary of Labor W. Willartl Wirtz
issued a statement over the weekend
which indicates that the young man or
woman with only a high school education
will find the competition stiffer than ever.
He said jobs are going to be harder
to get, especially for the h'- million new
workers who would not be going on to
college between now and 19G5.
' His agency's newest manpower re
port, "Young Workers: Their Special
Training Needs," calls for immediate ac
tion programs to forestall the corrosive
and frustrating effects of chronic unem
ployment on non-college bound youth in
the next three years.
He noted that increases are expected
to be especially large in the three years
ahead. lie said Oregon had 60,700 young
people from M to 19 years old in its
labor force in 19(H). By 19G5, it is predict
ed this figure will reach 75,000 and by
1970, the figure is expected to swell to
80,400.
These figures are particularly signifi
cant in Oregon where they will account
'.iar a high proportion of the total labor
rforce. Now, out-of-school youth in this
;age category account for more than 12
THE LIGHTER SIDE:

dropping is a Say little sport, the
rules of which are very similar to
those of name-dropping.
"The main difference is that In

Scores In Both Categories
'. Sonio places, such as llyannis
Port when the Kennedys are at

categories.

During my recent trip to Vene

and, in desperation, began to drop

per cent of the state's labor force.
The figures also show that the com
petition for non-skilled jobs will be tre
mendous. Meanwhile, the shortage of
personnel in many skilled occupations
will continue to grow.
This all adds up to the need for more
training of one kind or another to occupy
these young people. The conclusion is
clear. If the choice is there, any young
person with the chance should continue
his education after high school.
In many cases this might mean work
ing, as well as going to school, but it will
be. worth the extra effort in a world
which is becoming more and more spe
cialized. Any young person who has to supple
ment his income for school by working
won't be alone. Wirtz says in his report
a growing number of young people are
remaining in school, even though they
are working at full or part-time jobs. As
a matter of fact, in Oregon, G6 per cent
shared their time between education and
employment in 1900. This figure ranked
sixth in the nation. ,
In college or trade school, this is no
easy row to hoe, but the benefits to be
reaped will be felt for a lifetime.
Going to a formal college would be
extremely difficult under these circum
stances, but the choice of additional
training isn't limited to such colleges.
The number of trade schools is burgeon
ing, and Douglas County's Umpqua Com
munity College is tailor made for those
wishing to start without the financial
burdens of a formal, four-year college.

conversation: ,

you and your kind can sit around,
