(Sandy Post photo) Problems of Automation Told to Chamber Diners By Sara Sewell Berger "Gimmicks and techniques are so numerous they are distracting us. They are bedazzling us. Changes are so drastic that people are afraid to face them.” “Today of the 4 1/2 million we have who are unemployed, 3 1/2 million are unemployed as a re sult of automation” thus declared Rudy Melone, who was the dyna mic speaker at last Wednesday’s semi-annual dinner meeting of the Sandy Chamber of Commerce. Melone is assistant to the presi dent of the University of Portland. “We understand the intricacies of machines, but we have yet to understand our fellow man. Free dom rides, sit-ins and boycotts have had an effect on sales," he stated. "Technology can destroy purchasing power. Unless in dustry, government and labor can solve this question we are head ing for a revolution. During the In- distrlal Revoultlon, machines helped human muscle to produce and led to an expansion of Jobs. Automation replaces man." Referring to the present time as “automation’s awkward age." He said our problems are increased by the population explosion. Mel one pointed out that while he was speaking 500 Americans would be bom, 200 would die, leaving an Increase of 300. And while in 1910 thirty-four per cent of our population lived on farms, only 12 per cent live in rur al areas now. We have a shorter day and more leisure. It is pre dicted that the providing of rec reation will become one of our leading Industries. He said the problems of society are being dumped into the lap of education. Some of the solutions being offered are to retrain men who lack the tools of education- reading, writing and arithmetic; train men to work with automa tion equipment; shorten the work ing day and have a 35 hour week instead of a 40 hour week. In manufacturing skills alone, a 5 hour cut would result in two million additional Jobs. The work er could be kept in school for a longer period of time. He could work for a shorter period of time In a lifetime. He could retire ear lier. In answer to the question: “Will education be able to handle the increasing load? Will education equip citizens in a positive and productive manner?” He explain ed that 90 per cent of all Ameri cans believe that all boys should go to college and 77 per cent believe that all girls shuild go to college. The present trend has been that scientific subjects have been stressed at the expense of the humanities and arts. Scientif ic knowledge d'*s not equp one too Flu Shot Make-Up Dates Announced by Mt. Lions The Mt. Hood Lions club an nounces a make-up clinic for free “Flu-Shots” for those who miss ed the first shots.

Lambs Have Guest Howard Wright, former owner of the Sandy Saw Shop, is visiting the LeRoy Lamb family and other friends In Sandy. Wright has been living in Grand Junction, Colo., for the last three years. well to use leisure time whereas owledge in the latter fields would help. In 1960 only 22 per cent of high school students went on to col lege. In 1985 about 85 per cent are expected to enroll In colleges. This means that by 1985 colleges will have to reproduce their plants twice. “To answer the questions, Can colleges meet the demands? Can teaching techniques be changed to meet the demands? We will have to move into a new concept of thinking.” Melone, who was a recent ob server at the Labor-Management symposium conducted at the Uni versity of Portland under the aus pices of the Council of Chris tians and Jews, suggested that the consideration of merely wages, hours and fringe benefits is of smal consequence in comparison to ttie thousands of people who are being put out of work. He emphasized that “Forty thousand people per week are be ing put out of work as a result of automation. Automation brings on a complete revolution in think ing, dress and attitude.” “Between the years of 1963 and 1980,” he said, “our society will have changed more than it did be tween the years of 1910-1963. We u are moving into the society of automation and of tomorrow.” Clyde Ferrill, theater manager, who found the body momentslater. Sandy police arrived at the scene almost immediately and checked all cars parked in the area, but found none with recent damage. An intensive investigation for pos sible clues is continuing. In the Sandy Police Chief Deane Coffey, urgently requests that anyone who was in the vicin ity of the accident in front of the Sandy Food Center, or who left the movie around 11:30 p.m. (including parents whose children may have been leaving the theater near that time) to contact him Im mediately. hope it will furnish some lead as to the idenity of the car and its driver, the victim’s clothing has been sent to the state crime lab oratory.
