RIBUNE Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1950 Pages 1-6 Employment Office Services Described (This ii in first In a serin of five articles about the Ore gon state employment service, and the Medford office in particular. The articles were prepared by the OSES in the belief that effective use of the nation's manpower is one of the main problems of a grow ing democracy, and that by presenting information, accur ately, briefly and clearly, it hopes to make possible the widening of its services to the community, and to workers and employers. Editor's Note.) As the central job agency for a rapidly growing community, the local office of the Oregon state employment service, lo cated at 45 North Fir street, per forms many services for the public, employers and workers. The Medford office, with a trained staff of nine persons, is thoroughly equipped to bring to gether the qualified worker and the suitable job, at no charge. With a six-point plan as the foundation of its program, the employment service is interested primarily in the effective place ment of the job-seeker, and in cooperating with the community and employer to meet all kinds of employment problems. Be hind the local representatives are not only the resources of Oregon's unemployment com pensation commission, but also the services of some 1,800 offices and 51 state and territorial agencies throughout the nation. Here are the six point service program of the office. Points Listed 1. Placement of the worker matching the applicant's qualifications against job requirements. 2. Special services to veter ansdevelopment of work opportunities well suited to men and women who served the country. 3. Employment c o u n seling and selective placement assistance in choice of oc cupations to those dis placed or needing training. 4. Labor market information current trends and fu ture prospects in labor supply and demand. 5. Industrial services aid to employees in effective as signment of workers for best development of skills. 8. Cooperation with commun ity groups working with other agencies on new, un usual or seasonal labor demands. In the employment act of 1946, Columnist Beaten; Two Thugs Sought Hackensack, N. J., May 19 U.R) Police broadcast a two state alarm today for two thugs who beat up Columnist Lee Mor timer, author of several articles exposing a national crime syn dicate. The 45-year-old Mortimer re ported that the attack took place yesterday morning in a wash room at the Riviera nightclub. Fort Lee, N. J. He charged that it was an obvious attempt "to intimidate potential witnesses" for a forthcoming senate probe into nationwide crime. Mortimer said one of the thugs knocked him unconscious while the other stood guard at the washroom door.

Job Swap Ordered By President Truman Washington, May 19 (U.R) A job swap between two top American diplomats was order ed today by President Truman. He nominated W. Walton Butterworth, now assistant sec retary of state, to be ambassador to Sweden. H. Freeman Matthews, now ambassador to Sweden, was nominated to replace Butter worth as assistant secretary. congress set forth the policy of fostering useful opportunities for those seeking work and of promoting maximum employ ment, production and purchasing power. As a part of this national system, the Oregon Estate em ployment service recognizes the significance of the job-finding process in achieving high eco nomic activity for the general welfare. Each of Oregon1! 29 local offices and many itinerant points has a part in this employment process. At the local office are to be found most of the factors that go to make up this process. With thousands of "free" work ers moving from state to state and town to town, an inter dependent system of employ ment offices is a necessity. Human Factors Important While natural resources, scien tific progress, general trade and many other material factors are County Road Oiling Program Under Way The county's road oiling pro gram was started yesterday in the Rogue River area and crews will work south from there, ap plying light, dust-setting oil, County Engineer Paul B. Ryn ning reported today. Only the light oils are being applied at this time, he said, and the heavy oiling will have to be delayed until warmer weather arrives, probably late in June and into July. Rynning said he is making an effort to keen traf fic at a minimum for a day or two after the roads have been oiled. Property - owners who want palliatives applied to roads ad jacent to their property should contact Rynning's office in the county courthouse as soon as possible. County crews and equipment provide the service at cost. County crews are also at work this week laying a reinforcing base in preparation for a new surface on the Table Rock road north of Bybee bridge. important in determining eco nomic activity, the human fac tors involved in the bringing together of jobs and workers, and the continuity of this re lationship, are perhaps of greater significance. Employment o p p o r t unities varied in location, kind and number are basic in starting this employment process, but here again the human factor of fitting the worker into these openings is very important. Proper prep aration, selection and adjustment of workers to all the conditions of employment Is recognized as increasingly important in main taining high production and high prosperity.
