OHlUON 7, A 'INI CI to ' ntV CHAMPION PIE EATER - After devouring eight somewhat smaller pies, Joseph Oles, 12, right of Chicago, digs in for a mouthful of his prize as the winner of a pie eating contest at the Chicago Free Fair. He not only won the somewhat oversized pie but also a fine trophy for his Herculean epi curian efforts. Gazing on in numb astonishment is the sec ond place winner, Craig Joly, 11, who seems to have lost his appetite. (UPI) Parks Association Launches Study on Personal Training C!T By w. m A study was launched rec ently by the Oregon County Parks association to deter mine if there is a need for "having trained personnel who are capable of directing, ad ministering or managing all types of recreation programs or developments. Laurance V. Espey, execu tive secretary of the OCPA, recently sent approximately 50 questionnaires to county courts and interested state agencies throughout Oregon to see if there is a "definite need" for a training program for recreation personnel. The investigation is in pre paration for a meeting with the state board of higher ed ucation; Dr. Elmo N. Steven son, president of Southern Oregon college; Espey; and Charles Collins, OCPA presi dent and executive vice presi dent of the California Ore gon Recreation Development association. The meeting will be held during the Septem ber sessions of the state board. Exploring for Need Espey said the association was "just exploring" now to see if such training for rec . reation management is need ed and wanted. So far, he noted, about 20 questionnaires have been returned and a "definite interest" is apparent. f i , V, - , , is ; .. . , 1 I5 In submitting the questions. the OCPA notes that a need for personnel training courses reportedly has been evident for quite some time. Although some colleges and universities have classes in recreation management, the association continued, not too many stu dents take advantage of it. The various agencies were asked what they thought of such a training program and whether they had anticipated need for trained personnel in recreation work. Other questions included; -Do you think that one or more of the Oregon colleges should offer a six or eight week course in recreation planning, operation and mainlence? Personnel Availablt -Do you have personnel available to take the course? -Could you use trained per sonnel in your present or fu ture program? -Do you think local high school graduates, who are cap able but not able to go to col lege, would be interested in this type of recreation work? -Would your department or agency be willing to under write a part of the trainee's personal expenses? Evaluation of the returns will help establish recom mendations to present to the state board of higher educa tion, Espey noted. (Rccister Tribune Syndicate, 1962) Facli You Didn't Know About Pig Ordinarily a hog is a pret ty solid citizen, placid and unruffled. He's usually only concerned with getting enough to eat, and with find ing a cool, muddy spot where his body temperature can be kept within comfortable lim its. These few wants supplied. llie pig is happy. The pig's owner, after rea sonably close observation over a period of time, usually can tell by the animal's ap-' pearance whether the pig is ! pursuing a way of life con- j ducive to contentment. The i breeder can tell this by the I position of the pig's tail. The tail of a pig is about the same as a barometer is to a meteorologist; it tells conditions existing al the time. When the barometer falls, the weatherman looks for a storm; when the pig's tail drops, the owner seeks the trouble. Not a Wag Of course a pig doesn't wag its tail like a dog when it is pleased. But the hog s tail reflects whether its own er is happy or down in the dumps. If the tail is curled, and the animal grunts con. tentedly, it is pretty apt to feel "fit as a fiddle" and in a healthy condition. But if the curl is straight ened out, or hangs listlessly like a limp piece of rope, then the animal is sick and the owner takes what meas ures he can to restore the animal to good health. It is a well-known behavior pattern to have a pig run away from an approaching person or disturbance of any sort. Any animal, man included, will react accordingly. But a peculiar and little-understood action on the part of the sur prised hog is the sudden di rection switch the animal ex ecutes, for then it does the unexpected. Into Reverie In spite of itself, II will go into reverse; it will pivot. Whichever way it is headed makes no difference. When surprised it turns, instantly putting its head where, a sec ond ago, its tail was; a com plete reversal. And it' makes this turnabout in the flash of a pork chop. This silly switch may even place the animal's head right against the object that fright ened it. Strange that every hog has this behavior trait; they can't help it. Why? Makes no difference how many hogs you may ask this question, the answer will be only a couple of grunts. m Wfi'U annua.

Litwiller Mrs Litwillef fctJII ifTtr Ashland j Leadmj Funeral Director Since 1935 Charles Moran Jr.. manag ing partner of Francis I. Du Pont & Co., a firm which pioneered in the use of auto mated equipment to cope with the involved figuring on cus tomers' accounts, said that the difference between handling all reports on the slowest and on the heaviest days of trad ing, with the firm's new equip ment, probably is not more than two hours. "Smaller firms will have to come to it too," he said. "Not all are able to obtain as com plete a layout as we have done, and it is probable that in many cases they will go together to obtain equip ment." Edmond DuPont, the firm's senior partner, directed the firm's record-keeping toward automation back in the early 1940s, and the latest step, pur chase of a $1.5 million com puter, brought the firm's in vestment in such equipment to a tidy $2.5 million. "And all in use," said Moran. DuPont has said that the firm recognized years ago that electronic data process ing "was a must if the com p 1 e x brokerage accounting problems of the future" were to be handled properly. He said the equipment which was in use at the time of the May big days "came through with flying colors."
