REFLECTING ACHIEVEMENTS, VOL. 11 NO. 12 INTERESTS PORTLAND, OREGON Metropolitan E. Shelton Hill Attends Conference in Nation’s Capitol Youth Commission The City of Portland — Multno mah County Metropolitan Youth Commission called Wednesday fo r “ concentration of all the area’ s resources to meet the critical problem of youth unemployment. The Commission acted after learn ing that there would be only 2000 non-agricultural jobs in the m etro politan area fo r some 68,000 high school and college students seeking summer employment. Howard Van N ice, Supervisor of Youth Services of the State Em ployment O ffice in Portland, told the Commission of the bleak sum m er work prospects. Van Nice said, however, that “ many thousands of jobs in the harvest fields of the Portland area w ill be in need of applicants.” He con ceded there was hard work in volved but noted “ there is no surer way fo r a conscientious young person to earn from $400 to $600 during the summer.” Young people desiring harvest work were advised to call the local state employment office (C A 6- 2161, Ext. 508) to learn of the name of the harvest platoon leader nearest their place of residence. Van N ice emphasized that jobs under a platoon leader are assured of "com petent adult supervision both in the fields and on the way to and from work.” He also said that many of the 2000 office and service jobs avail able w ill be vacation fill-in posi tions and may last fo r only three o r four weeks. A resolution adopted by the Com mission Wednesday stressed that harvest employment is "both dignified and essential to the state's economy.” The resolution urged em ployers, organized labor, social agencies, service clubs and householders to turn the full focus of their efforts on finding summer jobs fo r young people. Said the Commission: “ Those who can come up with a youth here and another there w ill be re garded not only through the s e r vices to be rendered by their temporary young employees, but w ill experience the additional r e ward of public approbation.” E. Shelton H ill is back home this week heartened by the results of an unprecedented three-day con ference with cabinet members of the Kennedy Administration and their key aids in the nation's Capi tol.
