Unemployment up Morrow County showed an increase in its total unemploy ment rate in September to 4 9 per cent compared to August's low 3.7 per cent. The year ago figure was 4 5 per cent. Of other Oregon counties, only Malheur had a lower raw unemployment rate than Mor row, however. The dip in contract construction jobs (-110) was the only major category to show a decline in nonagricultural w age and sal ary employment. Reflecting the economic activity in the Boardman area, food products again showed a substantial increase (80). It is interesting to note that employment in this sector is 210 above a year ago, when potato processing began to take hold in this area.

An outgrowth of meetings among forest industry princi- piils since last summer, form ation of the Oregon Forest In dustries Council was approved in concept by the full Board of Directors for AOI during its annual meeting in September. Final organizational con cepts were established by a special committee in October and the proposal was adopted by forest industries principals Nov. 5. Operating within the broad AOI framework, simi lar to the manner in which the Oregon Retail Council division has since i960, the new forest division will be effective on Executive Committee appro val. Founding principals elected operations in August, will process potatoes grown on about 4.000 acres under con tract in Morrow and Umatilla Counties once full production is achieved. The work force at the plant is currently about 225 on three shifts. It will operate approximately 11 months of the year with a thirty-day maintenance period during its "down time." Annual payroll is projected at about $1.65 million. Sabre Farms, Inc. plans to build a fresh pack potato plant on land purchased recently from the Port of Morrow near Boardman. Completion date is scheduled in slightly more than a year according to Charles Kyd, president. Cur rently Sabre is filling a recently completed 15.500 ton potato shed with potatoes from 105 irrigation circles on Poi t of Morrow property, off which it harvests.

The equipment will be installed initially in State Police offices and patrol cars along Interstates 5 and W!M and U.S. 97. The purpose of the program is for citizen participation in traffic safety. Drivers with CB radios can report traffic hazards and dangerous dri vers directly to the officer on patrol. They can also summon aid for themselves or other motorists experiencing mech anical difficulties. On a trial basis, the State Police have been broadcasting weather reports in the Salem area at 7:30 a.m. These have been so popular, the reports will be expanded to other areas and continue throughout the haz ardous driving season, The Oregon Stale Police CB call sign if KXF 9595 and Ihey answer lo the hundle "Smok ey." These State Police ser vices will be in conjunction Forest Service programs The House of Representa tives voted Tuesday to ap prove a bill allowing the U.S. Forest Service lo set up cooperative work and training programs with stale forestry agencies and private organi zations. Introduced by Congressman Al Ullman. the bill permits the Forest Service lo contract for pari time and emergency work from the Oregon State Department of Forestry and other public agencies, A major advantage of the cooperative agreements, ac cording to Ullman. would be better and more flexible forest fire protection. The state should also be able to hire, train and maintain a with REACT and other private CB groups and organizations. Traffic officials in Oregon encouraged the recent desig nation of Channel 9 as (he emergency frequency and since that time. CB license applications from private citi zens to the FCC. have jumped from fewer than 15.000 a month to 200.000 a month currently. The Commission also pro vided $40,000 for the purchase of 20 moving radar units for the Stale Police, With moving radar, the speed can be clocked when the patrol car and cars being checked are moving in opposite directions, This new kind of radar increased the productivity of the State Police because only one car is necessary whereas with older radar types a radar car plus a pursuit car were necessary. Oregon research has proven that Increased police traffic patrol reduces traffic crashes and deaths. Also approved in principle was a lioo.ooo program to educate the public on Oregon's new traffic law code schedul ed to go into effect on July I. 1976, larger crew for forest main tenance and fire fighting work. Ullman said, if the Forest Service will be con trading for part-time and emergency services. Under the bill's provisions, the cooperative agreement! could cover forest mainten ance, stand improvement and fire fighting, along with train ing and job programs, pollu tion control nd water supply system construction, "The new arrangement should be particularly helpful in Washington." Ullman said, "where a much larger propor tion of forest land is owned by the slate " The bill now moves lo the Senate, : iv . J
