Pres Ronald Reagan eliminated CETA's public service employment pro grams, which accounted for 60 percent of the Eugene agency's budget, says Doug Booth, dir ector of Eugene's CETA pro gram To survive. CETA changed its emphasis to compensate for the loss of the public service programs Those programs were de signed to "put people to work in public services until the econ omy got better," Booth says And while Reagan proposed to acheive the same results with tax cuts. Booth says that policy didn't work because Reagan cut the temporary jobs prior to creating the permanent ones Ortega Jaco TSCO Shells or 8 oz.

Booth says CETA s remaining programs which include adult and youth employment and training pro grams and the private industry training program also felt the federal cutbacks but managed to get almost the same funding as last year — about $2 million.
