B. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. MONDAY. AUGUST 1, I960 Out on a Limb Regional News By BOB WALTERS r .. . f Wfk No Summer Jobs? Jackson county's first sum mer work program for teen agers isn't exactly a whoop ing success. "Flop" might be a better word. The blame, however, doesn't rest with the teen-agers them selves. From their enthusiasm, you'd think they were signing up for free trips to Bermuda. Nor have those in charge of the project been at fault. They volunteered their services and they've worked hard. The program, sadly enough, is flat on its rear end simply because adults in the county have shown virtually no inter est in it. The Medford 20-30 club decided to sponsor the Rej ect when one of its mem bers, a young man named Fred Slock, presented the idea back in May. Slock then asked John Palton, manager of the stale em ployment service's local of fice, if his staff would handle applications. Patton quickly agreed. Next, another 20-30ian. Dick O'Dell. called on brothers Carol and Lowell Anderson, owners of East Side pharmacy in Ashland, to see if they would operate a "clearing house" for the Ashland-Talent area. The The Mail Tribune oub- 1 lished ,;veral stories as well as an editorial explaining the program. All concerned were optimistic about its chances for success. But that was two months ago. fe Eagle Point Logger Wins Loading Event At Areata Jubilee av " RICHARD HOLZHAUSER Wins Loading Conlesl tt' W ..." J W' - if WW?- ' i I I Since tl)en, nearly 900 teen agers from throughout the county have swarmed lo the two clearing houses to file job applications. About 85 per cent of them still are waiting for that first job. It was stressi from the beginning that private em ployers would have to show interest if the program were to click. The emphasis would be on sucjQi chores as baby sitting, yard work and car washing. Business firms were figured to play a relatively small part. So far, all employers have played a small part. Only about 30 or so of the 1)00 teen-agers who applied have been rgJerrciOto jobs. r , . , The conclusion, then, must be that parltime em ployers already had made arrangements to have such small jobs performed. Eith er that, 6Y Jackson county has more than its share of dirty cars, overgrown lawns and unfunded babies. Stock, however, is a hard man lo beat down. I'm a little discouraged with the support the m munily has given the pro gram," he says, 'but it still can be a success-there's a month of summer left." I'm told thai for several years local residents have been crying for such a o gram "to give the kids some thing to do in the miner." Well, now they've got The question is whether they'll keep it. It had been hoped to stage the program annually, provid ed this summer's project was well-received. The teen-agers certainly have showthey're In favor of it, but, unless Ihe present situation changes, how enthusiastic will they be next year? Not very, I Imagine. And il would be understandable. Enough of this post-mortem, lhough-ii may be pre mature. If you live or Talent and you have some work for a teen-ager, ihe number to call is MU 98111. Employers in Med ford and all other parts of the county can contact the state employment service. 119 North Oakdale ave. at SP 2-5297. It's not too late to make the program a success, and it will be if enough adults lake an interest. The kids, you know, have been waiting all summer.

He was allowed to examine and operate the con trols for five mi nil: prior lo the competition but could not pick up a log. The loader, he said, was considerably larger and was a slower functioning machine than the one he uses in the w -ods. Runnersup Challenge The runnersup from Cali fornia had been practicing for the past four months on the loader and informed the new champion that he was obligated to return next year and defend his title. Ty also emphasized that they were going spend the entire year practicing in order to return the title to California.

The U.S. government buys or trades the chrome for surplus of var ious kinds, while iskiyou county chrome mines are be ing festooned with cobwebs.
