County,
$1,460,207 worth of construction
contracts were awarded in
March of this year, compared
with $1,387,936 in March, 1973.
The county’s first-quarter total
was $2,809,963 this year and
$1,940,369 in 1973.
The AGC-OSU figures on
newly awarded contracts give
an indication of what can be
anticipated in the way of future
construction activity, the AGC
said. All types of construction
were expected to be down for
the first half and some types for
the entire year, due to fuel and
material shortages, spiraling
costs and other considerations.
The level of recent activity is
indicated by State Employment
Division figures on the con
struction work force. The
number of persons employed in
Oregon contract construction
slipped from 36,500 in February
to 36,400 in March and was up
from 36,300 in March, 1973.
Latest figures on con
struction earnings showed non-
supervisory workers averaging
$7.66 an hour and $283.42 a
week, compared with $7.00 an
hour and $251.30 a week at the
same time last year.
Cadet Harvey D. Jones, 22,

his commission as an infantry
second lieutenant. A 1970
graduate of Estacada Union
High School, he received a
