OREGON HALE
Industry in Oregon reconvert
ed from war to peace with less
economic flux than state officials
predicted. Like most of us thev
expected the transition period to
follow the pattern of other post
war years.
The stock rooms of many in
dustries are commencing to fill
up, however, some are yet be
ing used merely as shipping
rooms in and out to ready buy
ers.
Industrial employment rolls
and wage scales in practically
every industry in Oregon are
breaking all records this year.
Of an estimated 370,000 indus
trial employees 42,433 are on pay
rolls of the 43 largest concerns.
There are 122 seasonal industries,
or nine more than a year ago.
Of the total of the seasonal
firms 102 are In the logging and
lumber Industries.
In the new seasonal industrie5
column Marion county leads the
state with 19 new establishments
this year; Multnomah gained 15,
Klamath 10, Lane and Umatilla
8 each, Yamhill 7, Clackamas,
Washington and Lincoln 4 each.
More than half of all Oregon em
ployers are in trade and service
groups.
Half of the covered industrial
workers are employed by 1000
firms. Unemployment compensa
tion benefits in the shipbuilding
industry dropped to about an
eighth of last year's record. Un
employment benefits for the last
month totaled $527,058, a gain of
20 per cent over October and 19
per cent more than in November
1946. Jobless claims jumped
from 7589 to 16,157 in six weeks
because of the end of many sea
sonable jobs.
BETTER POLLING BOOTHS
ecretary of State Earl T. New
bry has started a campaign to
eliminate the inconveniences in
many precincts voters have had
to contend with in the past. Some
polling booths are located at the
top of street flights of stairs or
at a considerable distance from
the main entrances of buildings.
Although the next election is
five months away the newly ap
pointed secretary of state has
written county judges to elimin
ate those polling places in their
counties that "place unnecessary
hardships on voters." He asked
not only for the elimination of
hazards and hardships but the
arrangement of conveniences for
voters as well.
STATE ADMINISTRATOR
RESIGNS
Ralph W. Emmons, adminis
trator for the state industrial ac
cident commission, asked the
commission to be relieved of his
duties last Tuesday. He was one
of the late Governor Earl Snell's
closest advisors. Early in Gover
nor Snell's first term the commis
sioners started throwing hot po
tatoes around. Emmons was in
a position on the commission
where he could act as a clearing
agent and all went well. He was
appointed to the position in Au
gust 1943. Prior to that time he
was administrative assistant to
the governor.
The present members of the
commission, Paul E. Guerske,
chairman; T. Morris Dunne and
L. O. Arens, will assume the ad
ministrator's duties.

GUIDE BOOK PUBLISHED
ON COLLEGES OF STATE
Oregon and Washington high
school students, puzzling over
where and whether to go to col
lege, will in the future have the
most complete and unbiased
source of information ever pub
lished to help them decide. This
is in the form of a 210-page cloth
bound book just published coop
eratively by 31 colleges in Ore
gon and Washington.
The book is now available to
all high schools at '50 cents a
copy, though the publication cost
was about $2. reports E. B. Lem
on, dean of administration at
Oregon State college, chairman
of the high school contacts com
mittee of the state system of
higher education. That commit
tee is supplying each high school
with one copy free, though many
high schools are ordering the
books in quantity to be used as
texts in counseling and guid
ance classes.
The first part of the book dis
cusses in simple languages fac
tors to consider in planning a
career, whether college training
is desirable and when, and how
to choose a college in case high
er education is decided upon.
The second section contains
reasonably imiform accounts of
the facilities and course offer
ing's at 16 Washington and 15
Oregon institutions. Each insti
tution used from four to eight
pages with two illustrations.
Those who have examined the
book say it is unique in its field
and will likely become one of
the most "popular" volumes in
all high school libraries.
