DEAN, Sales and Service 6th and Grape, Medford County Employment Continued Upward Trend Last Month Employment in Jackson coun ty is maintaining Its upward trend, it was reported here yes terday by the Medford office of the state employment service. As of April 30, there were 12 per cent fewer idle workers here than at the same date a year ago. There were 1,400 unemployed the last day of April 26 per cent less than in March. The employment service said that while the total number of unemployed has steadily de creased, an increasingly large proportion of the total is made up of people who have lived here a year or less. John J. Pattern, manager of the local office, said this indi cates that new arrivals should expect considerable delay in finding employment. Migration into this area is on the increase again and will have a major ef fect on the amount of unemploy ment through the summer months, he said. The migration he referred to is made ud entirely of persons seeking permanent locations here and does not include transient seasonal labor. The Medford office expects that the demand for help in the county should increase consid erably in May with a peak reached sometime in September, somewhat later than usual. The local labor supply appears to be adequate for all foreseeable needs., according to Patton. Ex-Selective Service Director Succumbs Laguna Beach. Cal., May 6 Dr. Clarence A.
