MAY 7. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON WAS IT YOU? J SMOHEYj Things what SMOKEY wants to know! Was it YOU who threw the cigarette from your car or dropped your match after light ing up? Every year careless smokers are responsible for one of every Jive man-caused forest fires! When your trash fire spreads out of control, you know you've done wrong! But smokers start (ires and never know it! They're gone before the lire starts! You sec, a cigar or cigarette butt is like a time bomb. It smolders for a while before the leaves or needles where it lies are warmed enough to flame. A playful breeze may help it along. Then, in no time at all, a spark you could crush under your heel has grown to be a searing, roaring demon, killing the life in ils palh! Did you start a forest fire last year? Was it you?

Astronauts Alan Shepard (left) and John Glenn (center) seem to be equally puzzled with Soviet Cos monaut Gherman Titov as to how photo graphers want them to pose during a pic ture taking session at a reception at the Soviet Embassy in Washington. D.C. Other guests included numerous Washington of ficials, ambassadors and newsmen. (UPI) Casterline Named To Advisory Group Dr. Ray Casterline was elected to serve on the advi sory committee of tile Jack son County Tuberculosis and Health association tit the group's annual meeting re cently. Executive committee mem bers named are Dr. Stanley Jobe, member at large; Mrs. Oue Jameson, Ashland; Mrs. Richard Knight and Eugene Thorndikc, Medford. Dr. John Quinn, local thor acic surgeon, speaking at the meeting, stressed the impor tance of the volunteer tuber culosis and health work. He said it is surprising what can be picked up on a small nega tive such as used in the as sociation's x-ray clinic at Sac red Heart hospital. Dr. A. Em Merkcl, county health officer, pointed out that tuberculosis patients re leased from the hospital in Salem arc under the care of a physician with assistance from a public health nurse, rather than just a nurse as previously reported.

When in years to come a Common Market indus trialist will want workers, he'll be able to call the exchange, recruit the employees he requires from any member nation -be it France, Italy, Belgium, etc. When a worker will want a job, he'll also be able to call the exchange, find out where the jobs are, arrange to get any special vocational training that might be needed. Europe is in the process of creating a truly mobile and trained labor force. In Sweden today 11,000 workers thrown out of jobs by the technological progress of Swedish industry are learning new trades under a government-financed, 10-month program. As these thousands complete their training, they'll shift to jobs known to be available, they'll get "travel" allowances if necessary, "starter" allowances to carry them through the first few weeks. Many of these thousands began training even before they were laid off, for their employers notified the government in advance of the job cuts. In West Germany today 11.000 workers affected by closing of mine? in the Ruhr are being given aid which includes intensive retraining and a "waiting allowance" payablo up lo one year so they can, according to the U.S. Embassy at Bonn, "move easily from on job to another," The "reemployment, resettlement and retraining" of these workers is being financed by the West German govern ment and the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community. In Italy today a strong drive is on to accelerate government-sponsored programs to "impart skills to the young and lo untrained workers," reports our Embassy at Rome. While 300,000 Italians completed vocational courses in 1960, the projection is that Italy will need 10.25 million skilled work ers by 1975 against 4.8 million employed, at last count, and that, says our Embassy, means the present rale of training must be increased. In France today, the Labor Ministry is financing either wholly or in large part major adult vocational training pro grams' which are being stepped up. Our Embassy at Paris reports the adult training courses arc hill-time, last from six to 12 months. For one type of training entirely financed by the Flench government, there are 102 centers at which 00 skills are taught. So it goes across the map of Europe- The historic ex periment in providing training for unemployed with obso lete or insufficient skills, which we in the United States are just about lo begin, is well along in industrialized nations overseas. In the case of our Manpower Development and Training Act of 1902. which became law March 15 and which is slated to begin operating this summer, we have copied Europe instead of vire versa. In fact, Secretary of Labor Goldberg went to Sweden last year ivith the expressed purpose of studying the Swedish retraining law, and we used It as a model for our legislation. The U.S. Labor De partment keeps constantly informed on dirvelopments in this field the world over; excerpts from U.S. Embassy reports in this column came from our Labor Department. Much more important than the origin of this basic form of aid to employment, though, is the fact that in its places of origin, it is working. From the experiences of other nations with retraining programs, we can learn what to do and what not to do to make our program work too. It isn't enough, for instance, to retrain a. jobless man for another job; there must be a source of information to which he can go to find where the jobs ere. and we must adopt sound policies to encourage the newly trained to move to where the jobs are. But the great, the shining fact is 'hat retraining programs are working, being refined, improved and. accelerated over seas. We are now at the slart of one road leading lo the solution of our problem of long-term joblessness among young and old. By DICK WEST Washington - UPIJ - If So viet cosmonaut Gherman Ti tov and U.S. astronaut John xl. U 1 e n n want to get to g e t h e r and make like a couple of tourists, that's fine with me. But I think they ought to quit making jests that seem to re flect on us elevatornauts. We are a sensitive lot and our feelings are easily hurt. I am referring to the ex change that took place last week as the two spacemen were riding an elevator to the top of the Washington Monument. Titov commented jocularly that it was "the first joint Soviet-American venture into space." Glenn responded with that old joke about whether the missile-shaped monument would ever get off the launch ing pad. Resents Levity They seemed to be imply ing that elevator riding was not as adventurous as space travel. As a veteran elevator naut, I rather resent the lev ity. I should make clear that not all elevator riders are elevatornauts. We arc a rela tively small group that regu larly uses the Senate press elevator in the Capitol and the public elevators in the new Senate office building I'm not saying that this as perilous as orbiting the earth. I'm just saying that there is an element of uncer tainty, the same as there is in rocket transportation. A person entering these elevators can never be sure Dental Society Lists Meeting Delegates Three southern Oregon dis trict denial society officers have been named to the house of delegates of l lie Oregon State Dental association, and will represent the district at the fi!)th annual meeting of the Oregon association in Portland this week.

Medford reported seven cases. Central Point four, and Talent, Phoenix and Eagle Point each reported one. Measles ranked at the top of the list with 22 cases re ported. Ashland reported 11, Medford 9 and Shady Cove 1. Other communicable dis eases were reported from Medford and Eagle Point, each 1 case of mumps, Ash land two; Medford, three cases of chicken pox. Central Point four and Ashland one; Ash land two cases of mumps, and Medford and Eagle Point each one; Ashland, 20 cases of Ger man measles.and Talent three; eight cases of influenza in Medford. one case of pneumo nai in Central Point, three cases of whooping cough in Medford, and one case of pink eye in Medford. that he will arrive at his in tended destination, at least on the first try. As I was chasing Titov andj Glenn about the Capitol, I boarded the press elevator on the gallery floor with plans to catch up with them on the chamber floor. The car im mediatey descended to the street foor, which is by no means an uncommon occur rence. Mind of Its Own More frequently, punching the "gallery" button on the street level will land an eleva tornaut in the subway. Once it took me from the subway to the gallery and back again without stopping. This erratic behavior is not nearly as unnerving, however, as when it stops between floors. Nor does it provide as taxing a psychological test as the elevators in the office building. The cars there responded to special buttons reserved for senators. They proceed immediately to the floor the senator is on, regardless of what the passengers already aboard have in mind. It is possible for an eleva tornaut trying to reach, say, the third floor to be caught in a sort of volleyball game be tween senators. He can be taken up to the fifth, down to the first, up to the fourth, down to the second, etc., in definitely. A senator himself can nev er become an elevatornaut berause senators are always waitless.
