MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY. JUNE 3. 1962 Need for Technical-Vocational Training Reported in County The need for technical-vo cational training exists 1 n Jackson county, according to a preliminary report prepared lor the Jackson County Su perintendents' association by a three-man committee. The study was undertaken to determine the extent of the need for a vocational-technical educational facility in Jackson county, the commit tee noted, and the prelimin ary report docs not necessar ily represent the views of the superintendents' association. The committee said the ex tent of the need fo vocational technical training was deter mined by interviews with community leaders in busi ness, welfare, employment and education. Two Factors Noted Two factors were listed in the need for such training here: 1. The need of students for additional training to enable them to obtain and keep jobs. 2. The need of the economic community for technically trained personnel. : The first is the most serious, the committee found. "Stu dents, principals, and others associated with the problem reflect the great need for ad ditional training for non-college students," the committee saitO "In the business community only automobile mechanics were in short supply," the committee stated. "In three other areas there were mar ginal needs. There is a tre mendous student need for ad ditional training and a rather marginal need for additional technically trained personnel in our area."

In radio and television re pair, training is needed for handling complicated installa tions. A questionnaire was issued Jackson county high school seniors in conjunction with the survey. A total of 475 sen ior boys returned the survey form, and of these, 204 indi cated they would participate in a post-high school vocational-technical training program. Most interest was in automo tive and diesel mechanics, electronics and business edu cation. Surveyed Programs The committee also sur veyed programs in Eugene, Salern, Coos Bay and Astoria way engineering technician, practical nursing, radio com munications, radio television, technical drafting, technical illustration. The study committee includ ed Dealous Cox, assistant su perintendent.

The schedule of the buses will not change, officials not. ed, as the six stoDs will mn. tinue at the new location. They are at 8:30. 9:50 and 11:20 a.m. and 1:35, 3:50 and 5:25 p.m. daily. 815 will Marshall Named Representative J. Vernon Marshall, West 12th it., Medford, represent Local 597, Ameri can Federation of Musicians, AFL-CIO, at the 65th annual convention of the union at Pittsburgh, Pa. starting June 11. Delegates will hear reports by their president, Herman Kenin; sectary, Stanley Bal lard, and treasurer, George V. Clancy. Legislation and elec tion of officers is on the agen da. About 1.200 delegates rep resenting some 700 locals and the quarter-million profession al musicians of this country and Canada are expected to at tend. The annual convention, which has been held since 1896 except for two war-time years, is the governing body of the union. On Wednesday, May 30, 25 observers from the Thomas i McCamant Bird Society participated in the annual Memorial Day Jackson county bird count. A total of 132 species were reported: this count is only exceeded by the record count of of 136 species seen May 30, 1961. The founder of this society, The Rev. Thomas McCamant, i came from his present home at Hubbard, Ore., to participate in the count. J Also participating were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Scott, Dr.' Franklin Sturges, James Temrite, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Richard-: son, Dr. John Reynolds, John Linn III, Mr. and Mrs. Leland Mentzer. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Lasher. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hubbard, Betty Jo Hicks, Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Joseph Hicks,! Mr. and Mrs. Chester Fitch. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Conway, Mrs.; Ray Briggs, Mrs. Howard Bush, and Ralph Browning. Although the bird count covered representative mountain j and valley terrain in Jackson county, only 12 western hlue-j birds were seen as contrasted with the 52 reported in 1961. J This is probably the result of large losses to this specie of birds caused by the preceding severe winter. i On the credit side large numbers of western tanagers, black-headed grosbeaks, and western kingbirds were report-1 ed. Also heartening a report that the hermit thrushes were' back in abundance on the Mt. Ashland road and were sing-' ing beautifully at the present time. I As usual the mountainous country produced some of the most interesting birds. Caliope hummingbirds, green tailed towhees, mountain chickadees, pileated woodpeckers, Swain son's thrushes, American bittern and others were seen from the Dead Indian rd. and Hiatt lake area. Above Ashland, on tl- Mt. Ashland rd. there were hermit warblers, Ham-i monds flycatchers, Nashtville warblers, evening grosbeaks, I and Townsend's solitaires. The valley floor, too, produced some spectular birds. An j eastern kingbird, a nothern phalarope, a hlack tern, and two Wilson's phalaropes were seen in the Hoover lake and game commission area. j Also seen on the game commission pond were a white-' fronted and a snow goose. A mockingbird was reported as seen near the Sacred Heart hospital. Yellow-headed black birds and burrowing owls were in evidence near Hoover school. The blue-grey gnatcatcher was seen and heard near the rock quarry on Roxy Ann. There are always some birds missed on these counts. This year was no exception as eagles, green herons, chcstnuU ' backed chickadees, and screetch or great horned owls were not reported. The participants in (Jpis annual count have increased from year to year. Undoubtedly some of this increase can be at-J tributed to the impetus given to birding by the establishment J of an ornithology course at Southern Oregon college. As our 1 observer corps grows, our bird reporting will .increase in accuracy and in totals of species. Chicago ITPD Only "radical surgery by Jesus Christ" can save mankind from the conse quences of the "disease of sin." evangelist Billy Graham said last week. Graham delivered the sec ond sermon of his Chicago Crusade before 20.500 persons at MiCormick Place Conven tion hall. About 200 persons marched to the front of the hall to make "decisions for Christ" during the service. Graham said he was uncon cerned that there were 13,000 fewer persons on hand Thurs day night than on the open ing night of the crusade Wed- i nesday. "The second night at ! tendance of the crusade al ! ways is the lowest. This al I ways happens and the crowds i build up and up from the sec i ond night on." i "Only an idiot." the evan i gelist said, would maintain that all was well in the world : when there is war in New Guinea and South Viet Nam, and "murder in Algeria that we haven't seen on the same scale since Nazi Germany." He said, "We cannot solve our problems by the United Nations or by disarmament or by any of these things until we gel down to the root of sin." Workshop for Area Teachers Scheduled Ashland Southern Oregon college, in cooperation with the Oregon state department of education, and Charles P. Haggerty, consultant on the eduiaiion of able and gifted children, will offer a summer session workshop for teachers and administrators on educa tion of the able and gifted, July 16-27. Attention will be directed to a consideration of practical means through which coun ties and school districts can meet the needs of their areas. The workshop will he in structed by Dr. Leon Lessin ger, director of guidance and ; psychological services for the j Grossmont Union High school j district, California. He ob I taineri 'his doctorate from UCLA and for three years j was the chief research con j sultan! to the slate of Cali i fornia project on gifted chil dren. Three term hours of gradu , ate or undergraduate credit i will be given. Inquiries rela jtive to registration, housing, and additional details about the nature of the workshop may be directed to Dr. Bill A. ! Sampson, director of summer 1 sessions.

This would include a build ing for $150,000 and a total over-all program cost for the first year of 561,794.31. An nual operational costs for fol lowing years, discounting pos sible increased enrollments, would be $1,794,.31. Only fields of employment in which there seems to be more need for personnel are competent automotive me chanics," a moderate need in carpentry, highly skilled elec tronics personnel and business education. "A survey of technical-vo cational schools in other Ore gon areas indicate their type of programming is not now meeting the needs of the non college hound student. Tui tion costs in these schools tend to discourage participa tion,'' the committee reported. Express Strong Interest "This year's graduating class of senior men expressed a strong interest in such a pro gram, and about 45 per cent j inaicaieo a oesire 10 aiiuuu u such a program were offered. The high school principals were all enthusiastic in their support of vocational educa tion and felt an extreme need exists for this type of school," Ihe committee said. In projecting the cost fac tors, the committee estimated an evening school with 125 students enrolled, with staff varying, and a day school of three instrOmrs and 50 stu dents enrolled. It was estimated that the stale might pay three-fourths of the cost of the $150,000 huilding or $112,500. and lo cal sources one-fourth of the cost, or S37.500. Equipment and capital nut lay is estimated at $22,500. Annual Operating Costs . Annual operating costs for a day school are estimated at $450 per 50 students whom it is estimated would form the beginning enrollment. This would total $32,500. It is estimated the state would pay two-thirds of the cost, or $22,331. Student fees at $60 per student for three terms for 50 students is fig ured at $9,000 for the year. , The local district would pro- j vide $1,169. Student cost for evening school is figured at $4.SR7 50. This is estimated at 125 stu dents. 50 hours per student at 75 cents an hour. It is estimated thai the , slate would contribute $3. 124 09. student fees $9.17.50. the local district $625.31, tor a total of $4,667.50. Need More Workers Nationally, it has been esti mated that by 1970 the coun try will need 40 per cent more technically trained work ers in construction, 25 per cent more service workers in finance, insurance, govern ment service, real estate, and selling: 25 per cent more peo ple in distributive occupations as business leaders and man agers. I Each of 16 auto and truck , dealers interviewed agreed there is an urgent need for mechanics who could repair all parts of a car, me com mittee noted. All competent carpenters in the area are fully employed, a Ishor union source told the rninmittre.
