Non-agricultural employment in Oregon dropped 14.900 last month, but remained 13.900 above a year ago, the State Unemployment Compensation Commission report ed todav. , Statistics indicated that 494.600 persons were engaged on non- farm jobs in mid-November, about 30.000 below the peak of last Sep tember. Season lumber, food proc essing and construction groups were responsible for over three fourths of the month to month employment drop. Lumber reported 6.900 fewer employed than in mid - October and was 4,200 below a year ear lier when freezing weather and snow forced curtailment of much outside activity. The depressed lumber market was the big factor in employ ment layoffs. Plywood employ ment at 13.100 was 800 below Oc tober and 300 under a year earlier as several plants closed down due to the low price being received for plywood. Food processing also recorded seasonal drop in employment as harvests were completed earli er this year. Contract construction declined 2,100 as activity slack ened seasonally in most lines. Yule Phone Load Expected to Tax Salem Facilities Long distance telephone calls placed In Oregon during the Christmas holidays are expected to show a marked Increase over previous years, Pacific Tele phone Manager E, A, Berglund predicted Friday. This increase, he said, Is ex pected to load the calling cir cuits to twice their normal capacity. Berglund said the com pany Is endeavoring to obtain every available operator to handle the flood of calls and also Is asking assistance of cus tomers In easing the situation. Callers should know the num ber of the telephone they seek. Making the "season's greet ing" type of calls prior to Christ mas day reduces the number of calls on that day, Berglund said. Telephone officials expect Ore gonians to place a total of 15, 000 calls to eastern points on Christmas day and 60,000 calls to cities on the coast.
