SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, Novtmber 19, 1954 Unemployment Commission Asks Reporting of Jobs The members and top staff of ficers of the Oregon State Unem ployment Compensation commis sion will soon send a letter to all employers in the state subject to the UCC. law, urging they take fuller advantage of the services of the Oregon State Un employment ervice. The leter points out that it is to the employers own advantage to list job openings with the OES, and in the long run has an effect on employers' tax rates. Advantages Cited . "What happens when you do not list your job openings with the State Employment Service?" : the letter asks. "Unemployed . workers, some currently drawing unemployment benefits and anx ious to find work, cannot be re ferred to suitable jobs. This means: (a) an employee is unem ployed when he could be work ing; (b) some employer is cftarged with unemployment compensa tion benefits which might have been avoided; (c) you are missing a good opportunity to get quali fied workers." The letter, which pointed out that unemployment benefits are a "negative" way of meeting un employment, added that while there is no requirement that job openings be listed with the Em ployment service, it is to every one's benefit if it is done. Only this way, it concluded, can the law be administered at its maxi mum efficiency.

It featured a string trio and was based on the idea that good music, when clearly understood, could entertain and teach, too. Actually', only 72 Western schools had radio sets then, but with that performance the Standard School Broadcast was "on the air." . . Today, when Conductor Carmen Dragon lifts his baton, the Standard School Broadcast goes to over 54,000 classrooms' through the West, Alaska' and Hawaii; with home listeners, a total weekly audience of nearly 13 million. That string trio has grown to a symphonic cjrehestra, a dramatic cast, choral group and guest vocal and instrumental artists. Selections range the musical alphabet from symphony to jazz. Each year's course follows a planned outline pub lishedin a manual supplied to teachers, by Standard to help .them blend music-enjoyment with art, literature, social studies-TheStandard School Broadcast radio's oldest education - program is heard today over more than 100 ; stations. Its goal is to help Western children ! gain an absorbing interest in the world's good j music, andthrcugh music, broader knowledge and understanding of the world around them. ; Clwcfc yow MtMMir n&m tog-for 7Sgeau cfOanhwp aeadlove ycu folU STAN DARD OIL C 6 M PAN Y 0 F CALIFORNIA
