Oregon Employes 2—Port Orford New», Thursday, February 17, 1966 More This Year There were 39,500 more peo­ ple employed tills January In Oregon than a year e a r lie r , J. N. Peel, commlaatoner of the Department of Employment announced. While January unemployment rose from December, at 43,800, It remained 7,900 lielow last January'a level. Oregon's sea­ sonally-adjusted rate of unem­ ployment edged up from De­ cem ber's 3,7 to 3.8 . but stilt compares favorably with the nation's widely-acclaim ed 4.0' In January. Aliout three out of four of the new )t»»i opportunities oc­ curred In non-mahufacturlng. T rad e, txrtli wholesale and re - • ta ll, government, particularly in state ami local education, the s e r v i c e s , and contract con­ st ruction contributed the moat. 'the manufacturing Industry, transportation equipment,elec­ tric a l equipment anil supplies, lumber and wood products, and machinery all made excellent y e a r-to -y e a r e m p lo y m e n t A Lecture To Youth The following lecture was re­ ce n tly delivered to two youths o u n d guilty of auto t h e f t in x in n e l, Iowa. "Now you have been convic­ ted of a felony. A felony is a crim e for which you might be sent to the penitentiary. In this case, I do not have to send you to the penitentiary—I am per­ m itted to give you a parole. But if you never see the inside of a penitentiary or Jail, you w ill not have escaped from the penalties of your c r i m e . The record of your conviction w ill be here as long as the court­ house stands. No amount of good conduct in the future can ever erase it. Next year or lOyears from now or when you are old m en,if you ever are ca lled to be witnesses in any court of law, some lawyer w ill point his finger at you and ask this question, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony ’"And you w ill hang your head and ad­ m it that you have, because if you should deny it, then the re­ cord of these proceedings w ill be brought up from vaults and read to the jury. And the ques­ tion w ill be asked for the pur­ pose of casting doubt on your testimony. Convicted felons are not believed as readily as other persons. Think of this. It may be that some day you w ill have a chance to get hi one of the expanding countries of South America and y o u w ill apply for a passport. You w ill not get it. Canada might allow you t o com e in for a tw o-w eek fishing trip, b u tyou w illn otb e allowed to stay. No country w ill allow you to becom e a resident. Your world is oh so m uch smaller than it was. Some day you m ay seek a pos­ ition in civ il service of your state or your nation. Cnthe applica­ tion b la n k you w ill find this question: H a v e you ever been c o n v i c t e d of a felony? Your truthful answer w ill bar you from examination; an untruthful an­ swer w ill be detected because appointments are made after in­ vestigation. The record is here to be found by anyone interested. Yo u cann ot vote, hi a few years you w ill be 21 and othersof your age w ill have a right to vote, but you w ill not. Your father may be a candidate for public office, but you w ill not be a l­ lowed to vote for him. The members of your politi­ cal party w ill not be interested in you because you will have no v o t e to give. It may be t h a t some day the governor w ill par­ don you and restore your rights, but it is going to be humiliating to ask him. He’ll want to know your whole record. It is a bad one. Your country is calling men to the colors. Its need is such that men are being drafted. But the Army w ill never accept you, nor w ill the Navy. Military men are proud of the service: they w ill not permit it to be debased by the enlistments of convicted felons. You are on parole. I am grant­ ing you a parole. A parole is in no sense a pardon. You w ill re­ port to the men who have a c­ cepted your parole as often as they m ay ask. Your convenience is not a matter of importance. You w ill also obey your par­ ents. If your parents send you to bed at 9 o'clock, you w ill go w i t h o u t com plaint. You w ill p e r f o r m such tasks as are as­ signed to you. Your parole is a fragile thing. Should the slightest complaint of your conduct be r e c e i v e d , your probation w ill be revoked im m ediately and you w ill begin serving your sentence. You w ill not be b r o u g h t back here for questioning or explanations)'ci w ill be picked up and taken to prison w i t h o u t notice to you and without delay".

Tuesdays From what 1 hear, the Ameri­ can Legion nxxuored free Lin­ coln Day merchant’s breakfast was a right tasty event last Sat­ urday. 'Course 1 didn't make it . . . along with some other late sleep ers., . hut according to the word, head chef Ed Seelye, with Bob Meyer,Bob Thomas, Monty Montgomery and AdolphWlnd- maiser, did a bang-up job. The breakfast was h e l d to honor merchants who ha v e supported t h e Legion's Flag decorating program.. . w h I c h decorating was delayed Saturday until about 10 30 a. m. b e c a u s e of the weather. The weather, however, didn't s lo w up any appetites, which was no doubt a relief to the cooks. As a 'r esu ltei conversation at the breakfast.. . and it may be just a rumor, 'tho I do have it on pretty good authority. . . I learned that Bob Meyer does a m ighty fancy "soft-shoe" toe dance routine. In fact, it's even been suggested that it would be enjoyed at,the com ing Rotary HullabaloogThat is if the young­ sters can put on enough pressure to get him to a g ree.. . and he DOES have plenty of time to get in shape. In case anyone is interested in the Port Crford m eteorite, the O egan S t a t e Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, at 1069 State Office Bldg., Port­ land, Oregon 97201, has avail­ able copies of a pamphlet titled "The Port Crford Meteorite, " naturally.. . volume 27, N o.7,of the ORE BIN. One discouraging statement in the publication is that the Meteorite is NOT worth a reported $2, 200, 000. But, on the other han<4 it doesn't say how much is IS worth, either. The only thing I know about the "rock" far sure is that, just as a lot of other people, I haven't GOT it. The booklet makes for some good reading and contains maps plus excerpts from the log of Dr. John Evans, the alleged discoverer of the Meteorite.

Gotta pass out some verbal orchids this week to a deserving local lady who, despite the fact that she is on crutches and wear­ ing a leg cast, is devoting one afternoon a week to teaching two4-H cooking cla sses.. . plus caring for her own family, e t c ., e t c ., etc. She's Betty Keeler, (Mrs. Bob) who is still recuper- ating,andw illbe for some time, from a gun shot leg injury suf­ fered last hunting season. We have two young-uns in her club so I know she's got her hands fu ll.. . however, two m eetings have already been held at her home and she is still happy with the project.. . and that's a sure sign of dedication.

Here 1 tis: SOUTH COAST Is there an easy way to file your 1965 Federal Income tax return? ••Punch card Form 1C4CA offers a simple, easy way to file your tax re tu rn ,'• said A.G. Erickson, District Director of Internal Revenue for Ore,;on. Oregon taxpayers may use 1040A If: 1. heir Income w is under $16,000, and 2. Conslstedentirely of wages reported on Form W -2 and 3. Other wages, Interest and dividends totaled not more than $200. •‘T a x p a y e r s who item ize their deductlois or have In­ comes ot $10,0o0 or more must use the regular Form 1040,” Erickson said. If you received a pre-puiched Form 1040A card ti the m alt, 'll 1 1 • IIM'd fl'l ><>U I 1 M tax return, unless you elect to use Form 1040. Tax Refunds Not Automatic You w ill not receive ar auto­ matic refund cf tax withheld from, your wages unless ytxi file a tax r e t u n , said A. G. Erickson, D istrict D irector o’ Internal Revenue for Oregon. Many taxpayers t elleve that when the tax withheld Is more than the tax Hat titty , the over­ payment automatically w ill be refunded to them by the gov­ ernment. Although no tax return Is required when the gross Income received during the year is less than $600, Erickson said that a return must be filed to ottaln a refund of the tax withheld. This advice Is particularly applicable to students and other taxpayers who worked only a part of the year. Form s 1O-'O or 1040A must I e filed t.y everyone under 65 years of age whose gross income for 1965 Is $600 or more. K the taxpayer is 65 years or older, a return Is required only If total Income amounts to $1,200 or more.
