Labor Drop
In November
Is Comparable
The month of November nor
mally brings an increase in
the number of unemployed and
a decrease in the number of job
opportunities because of woods
work curtailment and closures.
However the increase in unem
ployment over that of October,
while quite noticeable, is not
unreasonable when compared
to last year.
New job applications number
ed 391 in November, 373 in Oc
tober, and 441 in November a
year ago. Non-agricultural job
placements were 167 compared
with 258 in October and 162 in
November of 1962. Initial claims
stood at 1173, while October had
752 and November a year ago
showed 1072. The average week
ly number who claimed a week
of joblessness stood at 751, com
pared with 329 in October and
633 in November last year.
. Additional comparisons, points
out F. C. Riley, manager of the
Roseburg office of the Oregon
State Employment Service, may
be seen in the per cent of in
sured unemployment as com
oared to the average covered
employment for the following
areas.
Roseburg showed 5.9, compar
ed with Grants Pass 9.7, North
Bend 6.5. Eugene 3.5 and state
total 3.8. Four weeks ago it
was 3.4 for Roseburg, a year
ago for November 7.9, two
years ago 11.6, and three years
ago 19.6, well above the state
average for those periods.
Construction continues ox
tremelv active considering win
ter weather approach. Roseburg
had 29 building permits for
$227,906.

Log Exports To Japan
Reach Ail-Time High
Log exports from the Pacific
Northwest to Japan reached an
all-time high of 321 million
board feet for the third quar
ter of 1963, according to the
quarterly stumpage and log
supplies report prepared by the
Pacific Northwest Forest and
Range Experiment Station in
Portland.
This is nearly double the
quarterly record set in the pre
vious quarter (April through
June).
Douglas fir represented less
than 10 per cent of the total log
volume, which was predomin
antly western hemlock, true firs
and Port Orford cedar. A large
share of the increase represents
additional timber put on t h e
market as a result of the Octo
ber 1962 windstorm.

for portable truck loaders
It was announced today that
Ramcy Self Loader Inc. of Du

fabricating plant for its hydraul
ic self loaders at the truck shop
now operated by Lyl Bucll of
Roseburg
(The self loader is a swinging
boom with hydraulic grapples'
which can bo mounted on a
truck or built on a stationary
base to load logs and practical-
ity any oiner material, una man
operates tho loader.)
Market Looks Good
The decision to establish the
plant at Wilbur had been in the
works for about a year, but it
was clinched after members of.
the firm attended the Northwest
Logging Congress in Portland
this fall, according to Gordon
Rnmey, one of the owners,
Ramcy and Bucll said they
had been studying the western
market about a ycar. With the
knowledge gained in that study
and the high interest shown at
tho logging Congress, they said,
the prospects appeared unlim
ited.
The operation in Wilbur Is in
corporatcd in the names of Bu
ell, Gordon and Ken Harney.
Both Ramcys now live in Du-
luth, but Gordon Rnmey says
ho and his family will move to

Suggestions Offered
For Christmas Calls
Looking ahead to the annual
surge of long distance calls on
Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day, C. B. Thomas, Roseburg
manager for Pacific Northwest
Bell, offered these suggestions:
Consider calling before Christ
mas to avoid the rush. Tho low
er rates start everyday at 6
p.m. and continuo all day Sun
day.
Call station to station rathor
than person to person.
Call by number in any case
including the area code for
calls to points outside Oregon
smaller towns or rural commu
nities are the ones most likely
to become clogged by holiday
calls.
Nearly twice the normal force
of operators will be on duty
throughout Oregon and extra
long distance circuits will be
used to help meet the rush.

Little expansion o the build
ing itself is on the immediate
agenda, but after production is
established, some building ex
pansion on the seven-acre site
is considered likely.
Buell and Ramcy report they
plan to manufacture about nine
standard models and half a doz
en optional models. They hope,
also to manufacture stationary1
models as the market demands.
Much of the material for the
approximately 50 pieces in each
loader will be locally supplied.
Finally, they hope to build up
complete stock of hydraulic
equipment to handle anything
in tho hydraulic line, such as
valves, pumps and hose. They
will also service such equip
ment.
Both men are extremely en
thusiastic about the market. Ra
mcy said the Wilbur plant will
start as a subsidiary, but he
expects it to become the supply
sourco of one of tho country's
main markets. "The market
here is unlimited," he aald. He
said it is a comparatively vlr
gin market, and the hope ii
to cover seven western states.
About six salesmen will be on
the road to tap this big mark-
ct, Buell reported.
Stock On Hand
Moanwilo sales of tho loaderi
will continuo with stocks on
hand. Fivo months ago, Bucll
brought In five loaders for what
was called the biggest singlo
shipment from the Duluth fac
tory. These have been sold, and
this week another shipment was
trucked here which is even big
ger. Seven are ready for mount
ing and nine others are to be
assembled at Wilbur.
