er's expense, 13-3. The Giants
picked up four runs in the first,
another tally in the third, then
bombarded the Dodgers in the
fourth with seven runs, and got
the final score in the fifth. They
held the Dodgers to one run in
the first,' second, and sixth inn
ings. Terry Prock went the dis
tance for the, Giants with the
Dodgers using Robin Duffy, Jon
O'Donnell, John Harris, and Kit
Anderson.
In thei game Thursday night,
the Braves went scalping as they
took the Indians, 17-5. The
Braves opened up the scoring
in the first frame and kept up
the pace, for five innings getting
17 runs. Meanwhile, the Indians
picked Up one run in the first
and were; held scoreless until the
bottom of the sixth when they
pushed flour more tallies across.
Kent Pratt pitched a 2-hit game
for the first five innings for the
Braves when Dallas Harsin and
Kelley Green came into relieve.
Kent helped his own cause as
he slammed two home runs over
the fence. Pat Kilkenny started
for the Indians with Frank Halv
orsen, Ronnie Plamateer, and

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.

At Riverside
By MARY LEE MARLOW
BOARDMAN Dr. Fr a n k B.
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. Herman Burg, pas
tor of Boardman Community
church, gave the invocation; Miss
Burg played a piano solo; Ron
ald Daniels, school principal,
presented the seniors, and they
were presented their diplomas
by Harvey Warner, member of
the Morrow county school board.
Daniels gave out the follow
ing scholarships'. College of
Idaho athletic grant for $500 to
Johnny Partlow; the Union Pa
cific agricultural award for any
school for $200 to Kent Booth
man; a $295 scholarship to East
ern Oregon College to Patricia
Partlow. Dorothy Rash received
a three months scholarship to
Pacific Business College at Port
land, one of six granted in the
state. The $50 Jack Flug Mem
orial fund scholarship was to
go to Gloria Friend, and in case
she could not use it, alternates
were Sharon Franke and Barbara
Davis. Dorothy Rash was pre
sented the valedictorian trophy,
and Janice Parker the saluta
torian trophy.
The benediction was by the
Rev. John Kenney, pastor of the
Assembly of God church, Irrigon;
the recessional was by Mrs. Ba
ker and Miss Burg.
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

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

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
