Labor Census Shows Increased Specialized Jobs By ESTHER KIRMIS Over fifty young people are graduating from Morrow county this week. What are their chances in the U. S. labor forces? "White collar" jobs now out number "blue collar" jobs. Ser vice jobs are increasing; but farm jobs are decreasing. Data compiled by the U. S. Dept of Labor from the 1960 census showed a marked occu pational shift when compared with 10 years earlier, Mrs. El vera Horrell, OSU Extension Ag ricultural Economist, reports in the new OSU Farm and Market Outlook circular. Copies are available from county extension offices. The changing face of the local, national and world occupational picture carries many implica tions for farm people. Many look for off-farm jobs as farming op portunities wane. If the trend of the 1950's is carried into the 1960's and be yond, the best opportunities lie in those jobs requiring educa tion and specialized training. During the 1950's professional, managerial, clerical and sales workers recorded a faster growth than craftsmen, operatives and laborers. Within both the white collar and blue collar classifications, jobs requiring the most educa tion and training grew fastest. Service jobs also rose. The same decade saw a decline in the number of farm and industrial laborers and in self-employed manager and proprietors. In the past decade, the great est increase among professional and technical" workers was in electrical and electronic tech nicians. Second in line were mathematicians, followed by in dustrial engineers and sales en gineers, all pointing up the growth in research and develop ment and in defense and space programs. With the sharp rise in the number of school-age children came an increase in elementary and secondary school teachers. In the 1950's, this group increas ed nearly half again, Mrs. Hor rell noted. Medical and health workers increased about a third. Clerical workers led the in crease in white collar non professionals, especially office machine operators and cashiers. Sales workers and salaried man ager jobs, other than on farms, also increased. Self-employed managers declined as super markets and other large-type stores replaced the indepen dents. Among manual workers, the biggest increase in the past 10 years came in foremen. Mech anic and repairmen jobs rose as more people were needed to service the growing number of machines and other equipment. Decreases were reported for locomotive engineers, machin ists, carpenters and laborers. Service workers, both private, household and other, increased about a fourth, but agricultural workers dropped more than 40 per cent.

Bennett, president of Eastern Oregon College, La Grande, spoke on "This Is Your Life" to the graduating class of River side High school in the gymnas ium last Friday night. A large crowd attended the exercises. Janice Lee Parker was salut atorian, and Dorothy Eileen Rash gave the valedictory ad dress. The processional was played by Mrs. Harold Baker, or-. ganist, and Carolyn Burg, pian ist. The Rev.

Dorothy Rash was pre sented the valedictorian trophy, and Janice Parker the saluta torian trophy. The benediction was by the Rev.

Members of the class are: Kent Perry Boothman, William How ard Cooley, Linda Lee Daniels, Barbara JoAnne Davis, Janice Eileen Ely, Willaine Louise Fegert, Sharon Kay Franke, tunities weren't bright, recent legislation should be of consid erable help to farm people look for off-farm jobs. Federal-state programs have now been authorized to train un employed and underemployed workers in skills to fit the work er for the job opportunities of the 1960's. Opportunities are still to be found in farming and ranching, but even here train ing increases the chances for success. Dick Ruhl Plays Center Spot Now Dick Ruhl, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Ruhl of Lexington, is now playing center and defen sive linebacker for the Oregon State University football team. He saw considerable action on both offense and defense Satur day when the Varsity defeated the Alumni, 36 to 28. His parents and mother and father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Clint McQuarrie, and their son, Dan, all attended the game. The Ruhls stayed with their son and daughter-in-law during the week-end. Ruhl intercepted a pass that resulted in the first Varsity touchdown in the ball game that was witnessed by more than 7,000 persons. The Alums was defeated despite the expert help of Terry Baker who completed passes good for 357 yards. Ruhl last year played full back on offense but was shifted to the line to fill a spot needed there. McQuarrie said that OSU pro vided a very enjoyable day of sports with the OSU-Oregon U baseball game, and high school track meet going on during the same day. Lee Padberg of Hepp ner was in the track meet, and the Heppnerites saw him run. Athletes Place In Track Meets Lee Padberg, Heppner High school athlete, won fifth place in the mile run in the state A-2 track meet at Corvallis Satur day and sixth in the finals of the 880-yard run. He had qual ified for the events by taking first places in each in the dis trict meet. Padberg ran the mile ini 4:33.4 and the 880 in 2:03.5. Winner of the mile event was Gene Faircloth of Reedsport in 4:25.3, and he also won the 880 in 1:57.6. Padberg accounted for Hepp ner's three points in the meet.
