Boating industries. lasm In the automotive shop. one. whose field Is forebears Sthat in the time he has been at the center he has had no semblance of trouble and has never had to admonish a stu dent in any way. A veteran vocational teacher, he said that this experience is the most enojoyable of any that he has had because of the youths' desire to learn. . Another introduced to the group was a man wi U 35e ars experience with Ford Motor company, holder of a degree in engineering an jor who came from the Philco Corporation. He had been working at Condon on the radar installation before going to Tongue Point The Job Corpsmen spend eight hours per day in training. They are required to spend eight hours per week sharing the work detail, such as cooking, construction, sanitation, land scaping, library work. There are recreation progams and phys ical rehabilitation programs; avocational and exploratory courses in arts and crafts, music, literature, drama, science and others; there is additional training In communication skills, largely on a remedial basis; and in general education. Students conduct their own government With present enrollment of some 700, it is expected that the number of trainees will reach 1250 by November and the teaching staff will total 240. Length of stay ranges from six months to two years, depending upon the length of the course and the rate of progress by the trainee. The automotive in structor said that many calls are received from those seeking employees, and some recently were started on the job as ap prentices with two-thirds journeyman pay. - Since the enrollment comes largely from young men who have had little opportunity or who have for some reason could not or did not complete high school, it is Inevitable that there would be some problems. Olds said that this is expected. Even in a short visit, though, one can catch the reason for some of the staffs enthusiasm the challenge of converting these young men into useful citi zenship, equipped and able to do constructive vocational work, with new Incentives and goals and a renewed self-respect. At the same time, these energetic young men, many of whose early experiences in life have been tough and trying, will make contributions to society rather than possibly be coming burdens upon it. After this short glimpse at the new center it appears to us that it is going to be a successful venture and that the tax payers' dollars used in it will turn out to be a profitable in vestment. Down With 'Road Rats' With this issue, the Gazette-Times joins the Oregon Traf fic Safety Commission and many other organizations through out the state in an effort to promote improved driver perform ance. Each week for the next six months we will publish a car icature of a driver who has been dubbed the "Road Rat." And, each week, we will publish a pointed explanation of the type of traffic behavior that makes a "rat" out of an otherwise nice guy. " As the Commission points out: 'The Road Rat is a great gUyon foot. He is just like any other average citizen; he's nice to animals, pays his taxes with only an occasional grum ble, and is a good husband and father. It's only in a car that he personifies the petty, selfish, inconsiderate driving atti tudes that result in the actions that produce traffic accidents." Bad driving attitudes have long been recognized as the root of the traffic accident problem. The problem has been to get people to recognize that these attitudes exist not only in "other drivers." but in each of us to some degree at various times. Hopefully, by pinpointing the boorish attitudes which re sult in traffic violations that produce the traffic accidents, we ' shall all more quickly recognize ourselves as at least occasion al "Road Rats." This accomplished, we will more readily reject such behavior in the future. After all, who wants to be con sidered a rat?
