and tha Madford office In par

ballaf that effaciWe ua e tha
nation'! manpowar it ona of
th main problama of a grow
ing democracy, and that by
presenting information, aecu
rataly. briafly and claarly, it
hopei to maka poiiible tha
widening of ill servlcei to tha
community, and to worker!
and employers. Editor'! nota.)
Generally speaking, all opera
tion! of the Oregon state employ
ment service are on a strictly
democratic basia. To only one
group World War veterans
are preferences granted with re
gard to jobs, training and a few
other special programs.
Even with regard to priority
ef veteran! in many of these
matters, preferential treatment
is based on actual qualification!
of tha men or women affected.
Only with regard to disabled vet
eran! or to some special pro
gram mch ai on-the-job train
ing are preferences clearly es
tablished, usually by law or reg
ulation. . Close cooperation with other
public agencies or organizations,
private groupi, employer!, and
worker! in establishing and
maintaining on-the-job training
opportunities for veterans is a
. central policy of not only all lo
cal offices of the state employ
ment service, but also of other
atate agencies. The entire process
of registration of available vet
erans, counseling, referral and
final placement is given the at
tention of one or more designat
ed deputies in every local olfice.
Ralatad Policies
Here are some of th related
policies of the OSES, as worked
out with various other agencies,
including many branches of the
veterans administration and state
veteran organizations:
(1) Maintenance of program
for developing job opportunities
for veterans.
(2) Priority in referral to qual
ified veterans and specially to
those disabled.
(3) Providing registration and
counseling services to discharg
ees at military hospitals.
(4) Establishment of informa
tion and advisory centers for vet
eran where necessary.
(5) Cooperation with veteran'
organization! in promoting em
ploymnt nd vocational pro
gram!. (6) Stimulating interest of
community in veteran' Job
problems.
Service! of the Medford em
ployment office are free to all
employer and workers. Every
person in tha community, wheth
er or not covered by the unem
ployment compensation law, may
maka usa of tha varied job pro
grams. Service To All
Most agricultural, governmen
tal and small establishments do
not send in employment report!
or make payroll contribution
under Oregon' unemployment
law, but services are rendered to
them on the same basis as to the
50 or 60 per cent of the worker!
who are entitled to compensation
when out of work.
Considerably more than half
of all job placements made by
26 local offices of the OSES last
year were for farm work and
yet very little coverage is ex
tended to this group. Domestic
service, another field not subject
to the unemployment law, also
account! for a good percentage
of the job-filling activity of
manv offices, while placement!
also are made with governmental
agencies still not touched by
the law.
Lumber and logging, food proc
essing and construction Ore
gon principal Heavy industries
claim mucn attention irom lo
cal office staffs. Thousands of
referrals and placements are
made in each of these groups,
while other manufacturing lines
also make use of the varied job
services.
Many Short-term Jobs
While most of the Job place
ment! are made on a permanent
or long-time basis, a good pro
portion, particularly in tne pri
vate household classification, are
for only a few days. Odd Jobs
around the house, putting in
wood or sawdust and domestic
daytime help, are some examples
of short-time referral activity.
With many of Oregon s prin-
cipal economic undertakings
coming to a peak during the
summer, local offices have been
stressing employment of work
ers during the off season. Many
odd jobs as well as some larger
Jobs may be accomplished dur
ing the winter-time, the employ
ments service points, and can do
much to occupy thousand! of
seasonal workers and tide them
over until spring comes around,
Promotion of these seasonal ac
tivities has become a major activ
ity of the OSES branches in re
ments years.
After 15 years of ever-increasing
operation! through depres
sion, war-time and prosperity,
the employment service has won
an established place in commu
nity activities. Workers have
learned how to make use of It!
inclusive job-development, Job
finding and job-filling facilities;
and employers have found the
local office to be the best lource

In recent year! the local em
ployment office also has been
winning an increasingly impor-
place In the community. Solution

volves the main economic proc

tion, it Is becoming recognized
and the local office has the ma
chinery, techniques and infor
mation to provide the key.
More and more the local office
Is finding ways to cooperate with
other elements of the community
in developing and stabilizing em

must be adapted to each area,
only in the employment service
can be found the Information,
direction and equipment needed
for stimulating definite action.
While full employment of lis
available workers Is always giv
en first place in every local of
fice program, compensation to
those unable to find suitable
jobs is also an Important part
of maintaining the community's
purchasing power and living
standards. With so many of Ore
gon's industries on a seasonal
basis, these payments have dem
onstrated In the past two winters
their power to keep family lard
ers from being emptied and to
maintain minimum home com

Tourist Industry
Brings Wealth to
Areas Visited
(This is tha third in a se
rial of fiva article! prepared
by prominent Oregon news-
fiapermen giving background
nformation on tha tourist in
dustry in Oregon. Soma $110
million was brought Into tha
state last year by visitors from
other states and countries, and
this weak has bean detignated
as "Tourist Host weak" by
Gov. Douglas McKay. It has
been pointad out that all reii
dents of tha state benefit from
the industry, and that citisan
who are informed regarding
scenic beauties and history
of the itate will have an ad
vantage in dealing with .our
lata. Editor's note.)
By George P. Graffil
President, Oregon Advertising
Club
Recreational travel Is one of
America's major industries to
day. Estimates of the spending of
last year s vacationists range as
high as $14 billion, more than
was spent on all household furnishings.
So important is this industry
tnal It supports at least one ma
jor national magazine whose sole
purpose is to bring travel and
vacation news to its readers. Last
year states, chambers of com
merce and resort areas spent
.nore than $25 million advertis
ing their beauties and attractions
to the fun-seeking public.
Competition Intense
Competition for the tourist dol
lar, bnrn of the industry's rapid
growth since the war, grows
more intense season by season.
Accommodations and other tour
ist service establishments have
been up-graded. Resort areas are
attempting to spread their sea
sons, under the guidance of a
natmiKil program conducted by
the National Association of Trav
el Officials. Prices during the
off-srason arc being lowered.
package tours are being made
available at attractive cost, the
welcome mat and the commercial
smile are everywhere evident.
These developments hold sig
nificance for every Oregonian.
Our state's third largest indus
try is the tourist business. Com
petitive areas throughout the
world are wooing the same tour
ist dollar that supports our Ore
gon industry.
Individual Responsibility
Every Oregonian carries an in
dividual responsibility as
a "salesman" in this vital seg
ment of the state's economy. Un
der the direction of the highway
commission's travel information
department an aggressive "invi
tational program'' is bringing
visitors to Oregon. If these in
vited guests are offered the type
of courtesy and hospitality that
is our western heritage, they will
get an extra measure of enjoy
ment from their stay in our state.
They may return in the future,
and their friends may visit vis in
later years when tiiey. in turn,
hear of Oregon's beauty and
friendliness.
If each of last year's 2.250.000
visitors had spent an extra half
day in Oregon, our income from
the tourist industry would have
increased from SI 10 million to
$118 million. Those half-days
can be multiplied over and over j
if our people will help our guests
enjoy themselves. The courteous
suggestion of a side-trip to a
point of scenic or historical inter
est mav keep several tourists
with us for an extra day.
Smile Costs Nothing
It costs nothing to extend a
tourist a cheery smile of greet
ing. It takes but a moment to of
fer a helpful suggestion or a i
piece of information that may
helo him to more fullv enlov
our beautiful state. But at the
end of the year the little extra
courtesies will have rung lip a
sizable number of sales on Ore
gon's cash register.
Our competition's bid for the
tourist dollar will fall far short.
If we set our minds to show our
guests some real old-fashioned
hospitality. Be a good tourist
host!
