steady decline in the "quit"
rate.
The national economy and
the tighter job market are
acknowledged to be factors
in the decreased postal job
turnover. But postal per
sonnel officials point out
that the current trend
began eight years ago and
reflects other factors, such
as m anagem ent policy
emphasizing greater use of
full-time career personnel in
lieu of temporary or part
time employes.
Improved working condi
tions, career opportunities
and better wage and fringe
benefits have also contri
buted to the greater sta
bility in the work force,
they say.
The U.S. Postal Service
national "quit" rate has
decreased dramatically dur
ing the past year, indicat
ing a trend towards a more
stable and experienced
work force.
During calendar year
1974. voluntary departures
from the 710,488 employee
postal force were estimated
at 40,090 or 5.64 per cent of
the total.
This compares
with a “quit" rate of 7.43
per cent during calendar
year 1973, when there were
50.177 "quits."
Since comparable national
statistics were first com
piled eight years ago on
those leaving postal jobs

dismissals, retirements or
deaths - there has been a

Lloyd Center; Portland Art

University Tickey Office in
the Smith Memorial Center;
and at Meir A Frank's
Ticket Office (downtown)
store). Tickets may also be
purchased at the door.
The Art Center has
become a focal point for
cultural and art education
activities and is located at 8
N.E. Killingsworth.
The
Center, which opened in
December, 1964. under the
original sponsorship of the
Urban League, has con
ducted high school art
classes, held volunteer
classes in all forms of the
Arts, designed numerous
brochures and pamphlets
and compiled books of
collected art works, as well
as children's coloring books.
The Center has also
conducted an active sum
mer youth program in the
past, which included field
trips to the zoo, to the
Oregon coast, to local tree
farms and nurseries, and to
local art museums and
shows.
In recent months, the
Center program has been
severely curtailed due to a
lack of funds. In order to
provide needed cultural and
artistic experiences for both
youth and adults, funds are
needed to continue the
operation of the Center
itself.
The Board of
Directors has been involved
in several fund raising
efforts in recent weeks and
anticipates that the theatre
party will be a great
success.
All citizens are
cordially invited.

In 1914. at I hv Dalles. O regon. a sud

I hey turned on the current and in 10
minutes, pipes were thawed. M ira c

today, your electric hill reflects an

pipes, our environm ental concerns today
are clean air. clean water and reclaim

I hese are im portant, vital concerns,

is much m ore expensive. O ver 25% of
the cost of a new coal-tired electric plant
is in anti-pollution control e q u ip m e n t...
