WAS IT YOU?

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?
Remember-only YOU can "

AT RECEPTION U. S. Astronauts Alan

to be equally puzzled with Soviet Cos
monaut Gherman Titov as to how photo

Dr. A. Em Merkcl, county

that tuberculosis patients re

RETRAINING JOBLESS WORKS ABROAD
At Common Market headquarters in Brussels today a
"European Labor Exchange" is being born which, even in
infancy, labor economists are hailing as "the most significant
development for European workers .since the industrial rev
olution." 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.

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

14 Cases of Skin
Virus Are Reported
The number of cases of
"fifth disease," a skin infec
tion, reported to the Jackson
county health department con
tinued high last week, but
dropped somewhat compared
to the previous 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

eight cases of influenza in

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.
