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.
Representative Al Ullman,
DOR., dedicated the $5 mil

Formation of a new forest
industries division within As
sociated Oregon Industries is
expected to receive approval
by the AOI Executive Com-
mittee when it meets Nov. 21,
Salem.
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. Additional

OTS approves grant
The Oregon Traffic Safety
Commission approved at the
November Commission Meet

Oregon State Police for the
purchase of base stations and
two-way radios for patrol cars

frequencies, Gil Bellamy, Ad
miistrator of the OTSC an
nounced. 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

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.

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
