The document will be circulated in the areas east and north of the park district, giving infor mation on the services the dis trict can provide in the event people in these areas are In terested in annexation. Artz announced that the Georgia-Pacific Corp. has tenta tively agreed to permit the park district to utilize company land in the Wendling area (about 18 miles northeast of Springfield) for a day camp site. Artz said the properly, along Mill Creek, can be used as a primitive camp area. Final ar rangement should be worked out soon, the superintendent said.

By BOB NEWCOMB Of the Register-Guard Industrial automation in the United States is growing at a much faster rate than is the number of people being trained to meet the resulting technological challenges. That is the opinion expressed by George W. Glccson, dean of the school of engineering at Oregon State University. The result, he adds, will be that by 1875, "there will be a demand for people with talent that can't possibly be provided is we are operating at the present time. "This leads me to the belief," he concludes, "that we will not be operating as we are at the present time." Gleeson spoke Tuesday night in Springfield before the Upper Willamette chapter of the Pacific Northwest Personnel Management Assn. on the subject, "Jobs in 1875." By 1975, Gleeson said, It is estimated that there will be more than 26 million young people entering the country's labor force. "Ten million of them will not have finished high school; two million will not have finished grammar school," he said. "And 1 can tell you," he said, "that the person who has not gone beyond the high school level that his opportunity to engage in anything will be limited." TRAINED PERSONS IN DEMAND The growth of automation in Industry and of sophistication of business are demanding a higher degree of employe educa tion, and by 1875, he said, there will be an insufficient num ber of trained persons to meet the demands. He said there will be 33 per cent more people In the labor force than at present in the 45-year-old age group, and 1 per cent less in the 35 to 45-year-old group. It is in that middle group, ho said, "where men become career men. "Most Nobel Prise winners fall in that age group, he said. Today 12 per cent of the population is in supervisory functions, and in 1875 we probably will need is many but they won't be available," he said. Industrialists are finding, said Gleeson, that automated machinery can do a multitude of jobs now being performed by man "and without problems of fringe benefits and safety' programs." Mechanization and automation are two different things, he said. "Mechanization has taken the burden away from man," ha said. "It has become a way of life and has resulted in more products and a better life." But automation, he said, carries the meaning that a ma chine controls itself. "It is a system that can store within itself the information needed to do the job it is expected to do, with man only providing the original direction." FEWER BLUE-COLLAR JOBS By 1975, he said, the largest single outlet market for elcc tronics will be for automation equipment. "The point is," according to Gleeson, "we foresee a defi nite decline, due to automation and other factors, in job op portunities for the blue-collar worker," Gleeson said he does not place much stock in the statistics that state there are 5Vi million people in the United States unemployed. Not taken into consideration, he said, is the fact that large numbers of those listed as unemployed are merely moving from one job to another, or are in the 14-to-18-year-old age group and are "unemployable," or they are housewivei who enter and leave the labor force spasmodically. i I CLIP THIS AD MARCH ONLY CLIP THIS AD MARCH ONLY CLIP THIS AD Q In the Some Location for Nina Year ??? ) mm SLEEP-AIRE BALANCE OF MARCH ONLY - OVERSIZE FOAM RUBBER MATTRESS & BOX SPRING SETS No need to let your feet hang out . . .

HALL, 0ner Lost Chords Where, Oh Where Did Piano Go? And then there's the one about the people who lost a grand piano. F. D. Hollister o Pine Grove, Calif., formerly ot Eu gene, wrote the Register Guard a latter about it, asking our help "with a deep blush of embarrassment." Seems the Hollisiers left Eugene in August of 1858. They advertised the studio grand to be loaned out to someone who would keep it for them lor a year or two. Hollister said they "let it go to very nice people then living beyond River Soad Number 2 (presumably he means River Loop No, 2)." But now the Hollistcrs would like to have the piano back and they've lost the name and address of the folks keep ing the piano. So you out there if you've got the Holtisters' piano, how 'bout dropping them a note down In Pine Grove (no street address needed). Or you can call a friend of theirs, Mrs. Ralph FoUett, at DI 4-7488, and she'll relay the informa tion. Reuniting the Hollistera with their piano would, with out question, be at grand gei ture.

The park board is also recom mending the purchase of main tenance equipment costing an estimated S3,00il and ibc light ins of two extstine tettitis courts at an estimated cost of $2,20(1. In another matter, Artz re ported that the Willamalane Recreation Council, an advisory arm of the park board, wily meet Monday evening to lay! final plans for the community's! annua! Easter egg hunt. j Arts also announced, that the More Beautiful Springfield Committee will supervise the planting of some 350 trees in four residential areas on March 23. Trees will be planted in the Rambling Acres subdivision, on Quinalt Street, Olympic Street, First Place and on K Street, Artz said. The new chairman of the More Beautiful Springfield Committee is Donald Kalstad, 3438 I St. Kalstad, a Springfield teacher, succeeds Max Gardner who resigned recently for health reasons. Routes for the extension of Pear! Street from 24th to 30th Avenue wis! be discussed next Monday at a joint meeting of the Eugene City Council and the Eugene Planning Commis sion. The date for the meeting of the two groups was announced as March 25 at Monday night's council meeting but City Man ager Hugh MeXittleV said Wednesday the regular date for the joint meeting falis on March 38, next Monday. The two groups get together the third Monday noon of each month at the Eugene Hotel. The city council delayed adopting a route for the street, along the - western edge of Amazon Park, after a number of persons spoke out against it Monday night Organization To Aid Alcoholics !
