PAGE FOURTEEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Sunday Morning, November 21, 1937 Government to 'Recruit' Aides US Bureaus Adopt Army's Method, Going After Good Prospects . By BETH CAMPBELL WASHINGTON, Not. 20. The civilian branches of the gov ernment has Joined the army and nary in actlre recruiting for itt help.,-. ' Civil service commissioners have 'started going after expert appli cants for top flight scientific and professional Jobs instead of wait lag for them to read obscure not lees on postoffice bulletin boards. w It seems that there's plenty of material to select from In clerical Jobs more than 50,000 persons took the last stenographer-typist examination but only three con testants appeared recently when a technical position paying between - J5000 and 110,000 a year was at stake. ". ; ' "We can't certify a n y better people t his apply," Samuel H. Ordway, jr.; a youthful, six-foot" commissioner, explained. ' "The old method offending out formal notices has - become; so routine that we haven't been get ting first class people -at least not the type of expert employed in private industry's well-paid jobs." "We weren't getting the - best ' arallable material for tbe higher position," agreed Harry B. Mitch ell, the commission president. "We're going to make a more di rect appeal." !! 4 To Sell" Federal Careers Instead of urging the bright young men and women who come out of the nation's colleges to join the navy and- see JtheJ world, the civil service will tty to sell them on the advantages of a government Job under the merit system. Th same principal will be used for older men and women, Experienc ed in professional and scientific lines. Commissioners say, however, that first they will have to fiud these qualified job hunters. Pri vate industry often gobbles then up before they even hear about the specialized examinations which pave their way into gOTernment service. v. . The new recruiting procedure . operates like this: An examination by which ap plicants can qualify for purchas ing agent positions which open up In the departments was scheduled. Commissioners sent' the regular notices to postoffices and libraries. Then tjiey wrote personal let ters to the national associations of purchasing agents and cost ac countants, the United States cham ber of commerce, the nation! committee on governmental pur chasing and other organizations.' They asked these agencies to look over the list of both employ- ed and unemployed persons whom they knew were qualified and ad vise them of the opportunity. Will you help the government get out standing people for Us "jobs? the commissioners asked. ' 1 Letters Sent out Similar letters have been sent to schools for social workers, tbe American Sociology society and social science department heads in . universities as groundwork for a social service analyst examination scheduled soon. J Ordway, civil service commis sioner, for New York City before coming here two months ago, be lieves the civic organization, sci- . entitle societies and business ' groups will respond, i "With government expanding," he said, "the personnel problem Is the most important side of effi cient operation." ' Spreading news of opportunities to qualified persons is . only the , first step. Commissioners realize - that In competing for personnel on a par with that in private indus try jthey must sell trained individ uals on tbe advantages of govrn- . ment service. ? "Opportunities for advancement by merit in government Jobs have Increased," Ordway said. "Salaries have increased.' The' necessity of trained personnel has been recog- ; nlzed and employing agencies are seeking out education, training . adaptibility." - . Other inducements were listed by W. W. Stockberges. director personnel for the agriculture de partment which e m p i oy s Inore . scientific people " than' any other ' agency except the bureau of stand ards. The scientist, he said, finds less bustle and pressure in; the government than in the Industrial world, and Washington provides mora contacts with persons work ing in similar fields than da other cities. , . - North Santiam's Sew Club Meets NORTH SANTIAM The North r . a . . oanuam sewing ciuo enjoyed a good attendance when thev met at the home of Mrs. R.
