Multi-Purpose Stadium Proposed In Several Stages Editor'! note: The Jack ion County Court recently recommended that the coun ty build a ball park, leating between 2.500 and 3,000 and costing about $78,000. with an accent on youth. The fol lowing article ii the third In a series of four explain ing the county court's plan and that of the Citizens Multi-Purpose Stadium com mittee for a facility which would seat approximately 23,000. This article was pre pared by John Weisbrod. chairman of the committee. The Citizens Multi-Purpose Stadium committee has never advocated that a multi - pur pose stadium with an eventual seating capacity of approxi mately 23,000 persons be con structed in one stage. Instead, the committee has proposed that a bowl be excavated as the first stage, with seating gunited for 5,000 persons, to gether with dressing rooms, public toilets, concessions, and ticket offices. The remainder of the bowl would be planted wilh an erosion - preventing plant which would be removed as additional seats were required as the community grows and the need becomes apparent. These additional seats could be installed in any number desired. When completed in future years, the stadium would have 12.500 seats in the excavated bowl and 11,000 pre-stressed concrete seats above the exca vation. Six-Stage Plan The committee has pro posed a six-stage development, which includes excavation for the entire bowl, at a cost of $171,750. The break down shows $25,000 for excavation and grading, S20.000 for sub drainage and fine grading, $31,250 for guniting of 5,000 seats and seai brackets, $13, 000 for field soil and turf, $40,000 for two dressing rooms, public toilets, conces sions rooms and tunnels to the field, and $37,500 for field lighting to professional base ball and football standards with service for additional lighting. Future planning would in clude a chain link fence around the stadium at a cost of $12,000, paving and fenc ing of a parking area for 4,700 cars costing $305,000, lighting of the parking area at $15,000 and a roof over the baseball grandstand portion and the l't1 I iri Life can bloom after fifty Your ravings invested with us can help make life bloom later for ynu, too.

The estimated costs of var ious parts of the facility were arrived at after consultation with several businessmen of the area who are familiar with construction costs in each field represented. The committee feels confi dent that the area is destined to grow and that a multi-purpose stadium would become a vital part of the community. It is believed that the longer initial construction is post poned, the greater I'.ie cost will become because of the continuing cost spiral. Next: The County Court's plan. Job Situation Termed Critical Porlland-IUPII-Mon responsi ble for job security were told here Monday the. nation has entered a new era in. dealing with manpower. Robert C. Goodwin, admin istrator of the Bureau of Em ployment Security, said the employment problem has be come critical. "Now, for the first time in our history, we must set out to supply job opportunities and develop needed skills by design ra'her than chance," he said. He addressed some 300 delegates at the 26th annual meeting of the Interstate Con ference of Employment Se curity Agencies. Goodwin said the nation is entering a long transitional period of dealing with man power through conscious re training. He said the new era also involves new government responsibility for manpower development and .utilization.

Enough light came dimly through the one window, reduced in size by a hoard nailed across broken glass, to reveal the dirt floor and makeshift seals andj boards serving as desks." Needed were such ilems of equipment as black boar ds, hooks (I hey had none except OREGON a few pamphlets from tha USEA), crayons and pictures. Thev also needed seeds for the schools' garden. Dr. Graham pointed nut lhal steps were being taken to sup ply many of the needs, and that there was also a program for adult education in the planning stages which would help obtain the necessary co operation and understanding from the parents.

Retroactive Jitters Stewardesses at Controls, on Laps Of Pilots Make for Compatible Crew By DICK WEST Washington -l!PU - Frankly, I rinn't see why anyonn should be disturbed about a Dtlot and co- a friendly in tie same of g i n rummy during a lonR flight. An ac- m- Vif count of such a game was Riven this week to a West Mouse sub committee, which also heard testimony that a stewardess sat in a pilot's lap and that two others look over the con trols of airliners. This has caused a certain amount of eyebrow-lifting at the federal aviation agency and may have given some erstwhile passengers a retro active case of the jitters. But it didn't bother me a bit. When I am a passenger on an airliner, I have a ense of comfort in know ing that I am flying with a compatible crew. I like to think that the fellows handling the con trol! get along well togeth er and can aways reach agreement at to who it fly ing the plane, or, as the case may be, who isn't.

BAKED BY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1962 Almost nothing is as condu civc to camaraderia as a card game, so if the pilot and co pilot deal a few hands it's okay with me, as long as they play in the cockpit. If they started a game back in the lounge, why then I might get uneasy. By the same token, I don't see anything so shocking about a stewardess sitting in the pilot's lap.

Who's to blame the pilot either, for that matter? I submit that lap-sitting is perfectly proper, as long as it doesn't interfere wilh the gin rummy game. Cards and cuddling just don't mix. As for stewardesses handl ing the controls, I suppose that is a matter of individual taste. If polled about the matter many passengers probably would vote against it. On the other hand, a stew ardess like Margaret Mary Donofly, who testified that she flew an airliner from At lanta, C.a., to Charlotte, N.C., in 1D58, fills me with the ut most confidence.
