Gleeson pointed out.

Juckeland, mechanical engi neering senior, Klamath Falls; Silvia Li. Cabella, chemical en- line M. Cha, China, freshman in general engineering. All freshmen take a general engineering course before se lecting major fields. In the 70-year history of the engineering school at OSC, only about 100 women have enrolled, and only 15 of them have continued on to gradua tion. Miss Juckeland has made an excellent record during her four years of work and will rank about 12th among the 100 mechanical engineering graduates this year. Opportunities exist in every field of engineering for wom en, Gleeson says. Industry wants the feminine viewpoint with many companies design ing their products to appeal to women, he points out. Engineering-trained women are always in demand also as tech nical librarians, editors of technical brochures and maga zines, and as secretaries in en gineering firms, according to the OSC dean. Many women engineering graduates have become out standing in their fields, Glee son observed. A government report shows 7000 women en gineers in the U.S. Starting salaries for men and women are comparable. f Farewell Party Mr. and Mrs. Thomas P. Ball, 1025 Ingrid street, and their two children, Tom and Stephanie, recently returned from Redding, Calif., where they attended a bon voyage party for Mrs. Ball's father, Erminio Barni. Mr. Barni, who was born in Florence, taly, 75 years ago, plans to spend at least three months visiting southern Eu rope and Germany. He left New York City April 8 aboard the SS United States. Attending the week end event in Redding were 26 rela tives and friends of Mr. Barni. Mrs. Ball was cohostess for the buffet supper.

' Plan Dinner Medford Moose lodge plans 1 potluck dinner at the lodge hall Saturday, April 11 at 6:30 p.m. for lodge members and guests. Dinner will be J followed by games with prizes. j Six women and 1500 men are enrolled in engineering at Oregon State college this year, and according to the dean of the school, George Gleeson, the six co-eds are all out standing. Strangely enough, three of the young women are from Klamath Falls. One is from Portland, one from Springfield, and the sixth is from China. Dean Gleeson says that there is a definite place for women in engineering - industry wants the feminine view point, particularly in the field of designing products which women will use in the home. There is also a demand for technical librarians, editors of brochures and magazines, and for secretaries with technical training. A few days ago a story came down from OSC saying that there is a need for more women to enroll in home economics. This is a wide field which offers countless opportunities, and one which not only means a rewarding career but gives training which proves invaluable to the woman who later becomes a homemaker and mother. Material which constantly comes to this desk also indi cates that there are serious shortages in other career fields for women. The teacher shortage is acute, nurses are in I great demand, there are not We ve often been told that an intelligent, competent secre tary can always find a position. On the opposite side of the picture stand the unem ployment figures - somewhere an the neighborhood of six million, one commentator said yesterday while reporting the "labor march" on Washington. We've never seen the figures broken down as to how many are men and women, but a great share of them must be females. The obvious answer to these two pictures' seems to be training and further education. If there are many unem ployed who cannot find work, and there are fields where shortages exist, an effort must be made to channel the overflow into the fields and professions where workers are needed. . Re-training isn't always possible of course, particularly for the older person, but the the future by seeing that more young people continue with their education, rather than quitting in high school or early college, and that those students into the professions where they are needed.

Coming up or 30 little plants with a needle-like growth at the top look ing rather like the bare stays of an umbrella. Several still had the seed on top, pushed up like beans often do. This brown seed, about half an inch long, was sticky and smelled resinous. So Pappy decided that trees, since they were growing under the deodar cedar, An examination of the cone tree showed a similar seed at by the forest of .tiny deodars, and remembering what a pleasure the majestic cedar is, Pappy carefully dug about 20 and re-planted them in the garden to watch develop ments. This made a mess of the lawn, but he replaced the "divots" made by the trowel with circles of sod cut from the side lawn. The deodar has proved to be one of the most interesting of all the trees on the family land.
