' --. 5 A memberplanning board has been, selected to interview new men admitted, following their physical examinations. The idea conforms with' rehabilitation plans found best for the type of men who are accepted here. Lumbering, Other Holding During Winter Salem (U.F9 -.Lumbering, construction and metals manu facturing have been -holding up well during the usually slacken ing winter months but other sea sonal let-downs ' have been fac tors in the uptrend of unemploy . merit according to the State Un employment Compensation com jnission. - i This has resulted in a mid- . January claims load somewhat under, last year's and about the same as in early 1853. - - Slight Decrease - -- Employment in the basic log' ing '. and lumbering industry was estimated at 78,800 in mid- December. That compared with 23,100 a month before and 70,- B0O the previous year. I Construction , also remained cn a more even keel than usual t this season with 21,000 work ing last month. . I Employers' reports tabulated by the commission showed 458, 900 non-farm jobs last month, decline of 2,400 from Novem Tber but 8,200 more, than a year go. Food processing, ship re pairing and some other smaller industrial groups had fewer workers thap in .late 1953 but Manufacturing ; as r a whole t re ported 134,800 employed, a rise f 6,200 over a year -before. s lEmploymant Oilice' Manager TaSpsaktj ' John Patton, manager of .the Medford office of the Oregon Employment service, . will be speaker at ' the weekly Round table meeting of .the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce :at the Jackson hotel at noon to morrow ,- v"s . - He , will discuss personal and labor problems faced today by both employers 'and -employee; Vic Milnes will be chairman of the luncheon meeting. x -Another chamber committee, appointed to study the chamber's participation in a' study of the possibility of a World's Fair in Oregon in 1 959 will also meet at the Jackson hotel - at noon Monday. . : Jennings .

Ruf fin is chairman of this board. -- : "In this rehabilitation effort, we are concentrating on a pro gram of adapting the men to the task of making their lives bene ficial to themselves while here," Ruffin states. -Five Classifications ; A . light detail is required . of the membership, under VA regu lations, in five . classifications. The kind of work that may be performed ' depends on the na ture of their disability. V The planning board, however, will go further than the mere as signment of a job. It will also consider personal factors in each case. If physical or corrective therapy is needed, Dr. Samuel D. Earhart, in charge of this pro gram, will prescribe the treat ment, as well as . make recom mendations in the physical medi cine and rehabilitation program. Under the revised recreational schedule, occupational therapy and group interests have; been developed, in addition to the arts and crafts program, and are su pervised by a trained therapist; Special' Services 1 Chief Frank Glonning is the board -member who recommends such activity. Therapists Added ; '. : r In the last year two therapists have been added and encourage ment given to - Red Cross and other volunteer - efforts in the training program. . ! ; - , The - new . admission " p 1 a n, which is' being given a thorough workout under board 'supervis ion, has already proved of bene fit to Contact Officer Veldon J. Diment, who is able to clear the veteran's record, on pension and other details, upon arrival. The chaplains also find this an oppor tune time to make their first con tacts. V ' ' - v - ' Actual details are confined to Company 1 members, most of whom are able to hold member jobs or perform a limited amount of assigned work. Nearly half of the" members,' however, fall in the class where no detail is as signed because of infirmities or disability. . These . men . will be given credit for participation in other phases of the rehabilitation effort. May Extend Scope - - - Success of the method has brought consideration for ex tending the scope of the board's work to men already assigned but 'who have not as yet made satisfactory adjustments. .

Company Captains Martin and McEvars talk with - new "re cruits' and try to assign them beds in a building or ward where they -, will find 'congenial com panions. If this does not suit them,' they may be'move'd. This is the rule, rather than the ex ception, under the policy of ."hu manizing1', living conditions here. " Ernie Rickson, the detail "ser geant, using his list of available detail assignments, puts the new member to work at a task which conforms with the medical-social classification as well as the apti tude and interest of the member. Memorandum Quoted f r In a recent memorandum cov ering domiciliary member detail, Manager E. K. Ricker stated; ! . "Members are detailed to per form duties on the well-recognized principle that employment suitable to the individual's con dition is beneficial both from a physical and mental standpoint "It must be borne in mind that detail work will be necessary work ; of a constructive nature which contributes to the mainte nance of the station as a . whole or the quarters ' occupied by members, and-which the mem bers feel" serves a definite pur pose." ,' ' ' ' : : . At the present time "75 mem bers are listed in Class 1, cover-' ing the heavier details; 130 are Class 2, calling for light work such as gardening duties and as helpers; 41 are listed in Class 3, whose disabilities require, a sit ting detail; 186 men are able to do sweeping, dusting and similar work- called,, for in Class. 4; and 45 men are , only able to make their own beds and maintain their lockers in an orderly , man ner. .The Class 6. members are not required to perform detail.
