Eldon Cone, director of the State Employment Service, has released an "open letter" to 1903 high school graduates which urges them to consider their job future carefully. "In this jet-propelled, auto mated age of electro-mechani cal innovations the high school diploma is not always a passport into the better jobs in a highly competitive labor market." He urged high school grad uates who are not planning to go on to college "to make early contact with the nearest office of the Stale Employ ment Service ..." He called upon employers to provide on-the-job training opportunities including ap prenticeship wherever possi ble for the high school grad uates entering the labor market.

They are the clan of the President's mother and they plan a welcome for ihe Presi dent aimed to rival the cead mile faille (hundred thousand welcomes) he will get from the Kennedys of New Boss. Visit Scheduled Jun 28 The President is scheduled to visit Cork June 28. When his helicopter touches down, history will have turned a full circle for the Fitzgeralds. The President will land in the same green fields from which his great - great grand father, John Fitzgerald, was evicted 153 years ago and his land given to English planters. When the great famine came, one of John's six sons, James, sailed to Boston where he married an Irish girl, Kath-! crine Cadogan. One of their children, James Fitzgerald, became famous as the "Honey Fitz" of Boston politics and is the man for whom Presi dent Kennedy has named the presidential yacht. "Honey Fitz" in his turn also married an Irish girl, Barbara Hannan. Their daughter is Rose, the Presi dent's mother. The information on the Fitzgerald family, gathered before the Kennedys were so politically prominent, was put together by Cork-born retired U.S. naval Lieut. J. J. Cado gan of San Francisco. He came across the Fitzgeralds of Skibberecn while researching his own family tree. He was startled, he said, by the strong family resemblance of the Irish Fitzgeralds to the Boston Kennedys. He discov ered three Fitzgerald brothers on a 60-acre farm at Abbey, near Skibbcrecn, were the great-great-grandsons of Pat rick Fitzgerald, brother of James Fitzgerald, who emi grated to Boston. so by at least one personal friend, Cork-born M gr.
