Did you ever take time off to
listen to the meadow larks early
in the morning? Say about the
moment that the un is getting
its first peek t the plains of
Camp White from behind Mt.
Pitt. This happened to me. I
stopped and listened.
There were notes of optimism
in the songs. None of the birds
had the blues and all of them
apparently liked to sing. Just
seemed that they were calling a
world to get up ana get going.
"Now is the time to get started.
Do as we do and everything will
be all right.

Employment Office
Services Described
1 (This is the second in a se
ries of five articles about the
Oregon state employment ser
vice, and the Medford office
in particular. The articles were
prepared by the OSES here in
the belief that effective use of
the nation's manpower is one
of the main problems of a
growing democracy, and that
by presenting information, ac
curately, briefly and clearly, it
hopes to make possible the
widening of its services to the
community, and to workers
and employer a. Editor's
note.)
Because of a wider choice and
a better screening of applicants,
the employment office has im
proved on old methods of hiring
workers.
"We're Just realizing how
much time, . money and effort
we've wasted in selecting person
nel," commented one large Ore
gon employer recently. "The em
oloyment office has the informa
tion, the equipment and thev
know how to do the job why
not let them?" he said.
Better employer-employee re
lationships have resulted in hun
dreds of cases where trained em
ployment deputies have taken
the responsibility for careful se
lection of workers. With detailed'
work- history information on
thousands of job seekers, the lo
cal office can pick the best quali
fied applicants. In many cases
even further tests can be applied
if the job requires some spe
cial ability.
Should Specify Duties
In giving an order for help
the employer should be prepared
to specify the duties in detail. If
unusual physical or mental train
ing or qualification is necessary,
it should be specified. The em
ployment office must know
whether the job is temporary or
permanent, the proposed rate of
Day, hours and working condi
tions, age limits if any, require
ments of sex or marital status. At
times it is helpful to know If the
worker must furnish tools or
other equipment.
"We can help the employer
most when he is honest with us
regarding all these working con
ditions," a local manager com
mented recently: "If they ask for
an expert stenogranhcr when
they want an attractive general
office clerk, it will be difficult to
serve them properly we must

have cooperation from employer
and employee alike to serve our
proper community function."
Placement of qualified work
ers on suitable jobs demanding
their highest skills helps greatly
in bringing about stable employ
ment and high production.
3uilds Process
With this Hdea in mind, the
Oregon state employment service
has built up a placement process
designed to be of maximum as
sistance to both employer and
employee.
The local office, in filling a
job opening, considers primarily
the applicant's occupational qual
ifications. If his skills and abili
ties are greater than the job re
quires, however, other factors
may be of more influence. Wages,
hours, security and other factors,
will be compared with the appli
cant's recent work-history in se
lection of persons to be inter
viewed by the employer. Accessi
bility of the Job also must be
considered.
Referrals Made
After final selection of those
to be interviewed by the em
ployer, the applicants are given
referral cards with detailed in
structions concerning time, place
and manner of application. Re
sults of the interviews are re
oorted to the local office by the
employer. Definite procedures
also are outlined for group refer
rals or for special situations.
Final decisions on hiring or re
jecting the applicant rests with
'hp employer.
Employment service reports
show from one and one-half to
two referrals are necessary for
every completed placement, al
though three and sometimes
more applicants often are picked
for each job opening.

Safer Driving By
Auloists Credited
With Saving Lives
Salem, Ore., May 20 (U.R)
Safer driving by Oregon motor
ists is credited with saving 742
lives in the heavy traffic of the
four post war years, the state
traffic safety division said today.
The claim was based on a
continual decrease in the state's
traffic death rate since 1945. The
division said the death rate fig
ure represented the number of
persons killed in traffic for each
one hundred million miles of
driving. Oregon's rate has drop
ped steadily from 11.8 in 1945
to 6.4 last year.
Mileage Increases
Mileage traveled increased
tremendously in the same pe
riod, so the reduction has meant
more in terms of safety than the
yearly traffic death figures in
dicate, the division observed.
The 1945 rate applied to the
driving mileage of succeeding
years would have meant an in
crease of 53 deaths over the
actual toll in 1946, 155 in 1947.
229 in 1948 and 303 in 1949.
These fatalities would have been
in addition to those actually
killed in those years, the divis
ion said. 1
The division said driving in
Oregon is nearly twice as safe,
mile for mile, as it was only
five years ago. It credits most
of the achievement to the im
provement of driving and walk
ing habits. The division said that
it was the first time since rec
ords had been kept that the
state's traffic death rate had
showed such an extended down
ward trend. The 1945 rate was
about the same as the average
of the preceding 10 years.
Merlin Eighth Graders
Fly to Crescent City
For the third year in a row,
eighth graders of the Merlin
school last week took a flight
via Southwest airways, culmin
ating courses of study in the
theoretical aspects of flying and
air transportation.
In former years, trips consist
ed of special flights over Crater
lake. This year, however, it was
decided to fly to Crescent City.
George Lewis, of the Rogue
Travel service, suggested and
arranged the flight.
In arriving at Crescent City,
the group was met by chamber
of commerce. Greater Del Norte
association, school and city offic
ials. The students then toured
the ocean front and beach, and
visits were made to the new
wharf and the mnrine museum.
The trip provided many of the
children with their first view
of the ocean.

Hollywood, May 20 (U.R)
The Hollywood Brown Derby
broke n 20-year tradition today
and hung a
photograph of
an unk n o w n
alongside i t s
1008 carica
tures of fa
mous movie
celebrities.
This is the
first time in
i history a cam-
' l era p o r t r ait
ttxiaj has era shed
Virginia those hallowed
HacPheraoa walls. It prob
ably won't ever
happen again.
And the man in the picture is
somebody nobody ever heard of
yet. He's hoping they will.
That's why his photograph's up
there.
His name is Tom Colburn, he's
a struggling actor in London, and
he wants a job in Hollywood be
cause he's getting nowhere fast
in England.
Mrs. Anne Colburn is the one
responsible for getting him on
the Derby "Wall of Fame." She
sent an eight-page plea to restuu
rant owner Bob Cobb( begging
him to give her husband a break.
"You'll probably think I'm
crazy," she wrote. "But I'm tak
ing a chance. You see, Tom is nn
actor a splendid one, according
to the Scottish press. We're
Scots.
Won't Take Chance
"We came to London so he
could get into films but Eng
lish producers are too stodgy and
too stuffy to take a chance on a
new face.
"Please, please, will you hang
Tom's picture on the wall of
your Brown Derby? It would
draw the attention of many fa
mous film directors and produc
ers. "We have not the fare to
Hollywood, but maybe someone
will think he's worth the price
of bringing him over. I will wit
here with our baby daughter un
til he can send for us.
"And he will be able to, soon
after he gets to Hollywood. You
wait and see. He'll make the
grade in films all right.
"I'm only an ordinary wife
who thinks the world of my hus
band and I'd do anything to help
him. I've got so many fingers
crossed 1 can hardly write this
letter."
Thore was a P. S.:
"Please take good care of the

two days' dinners to get it. If
Tom gets to Hollywood I prom
ise you we'll eat in your res
taurant three times every day."
Bill Chelios. headwaiter at the
swanky eaterie for 20 years,
agreed to hang Colburn's pic
ture if one of the stars would
give up his or her cherished spot
on the wall.
And then the screaming
started.
Cobb's assistant called a dozen
actors and actresses before he
found one willing to be replaced
temporarily by an unknown.
Between March and Bergen
Jeanette Macdonnld said she'd
down, personally "unhung" her
caricature, and put Colburn's
picture in its place.
Now the movie-struck Scot is
hanging between Frederic March
and Edgar Bergen. A choice spot
it is, too. All the movie big-shots
have to pass it on their way in.
There's a card underneath
listing Colburn's qualifications
and begging somebody to give
him a job.
And Mrs. Colburn might not
be as crazy as she thinks. Goof
ier antics have paid off in this
wacky town.
