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.

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.

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.

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."
