Service workers, including 1,250,000 waitresses and cooks, account fur about one of every four jobs and manufacturing work for about one in seven, said the nation al reporting authority on tax and business law. Professional and technical work ranks fourth largest in Job categories, with about one ia eight working women in cluded. Among these are ap proximately 1,250,000 teach ers, CCH said. The survey, based on Labor department statistics as of April, 19K2, showed that about half the women work ers were married, and that wives working full time con tributed an average of 35 to 40 per cent of their families' total income. Of all married women, about 33 per cent held either full or part-time jobs, and about one-eighth had children under six years of age, CCH said. The largest age group of working women in 1962 was in the 45-54 year bracket. Halt of the women workers were 41 or over, and nearly two fifths of them were over 45, the survey showed. The latest earnings flgutes were based on a 1961 report, when a full-time woman workpr had a median Income of $3,342, The median for all working women was $1,279. Twenty-four million women In the work force in 1962 marked a high, exceeding the World War II record of 20.4 million in 1944 by about 3. 500,000, CCH said. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.

An educated guess is that in a few years, the style may go 'slim-line'-with an oblong shape that looks more like a cucumber than the buxom red Job we see to day. Nearer at hand is a change in the look of the canned tomato, which the ex perts say, may soon be avail able sliced and ready to re place the lumpy whole fruit for casseroles and salads. The scientific 'fashion men' are not restyling the familiar 'love apple' for beauty, how ever; their emphasis is on economy (and quite possibly esthetics) as they attempt to take the fragile tomato out of the hands of the working man and to grow, harvest, and pack it by machine-to bring it to the homemakcr untouched by human hands, (with inci dental savings to the farmer who may be able to replace a couple of hundred pickers with a single machine.) Trellises For Quality Today, in California, there are dozens of tomato varieties and two separate ways of growing them. There are bush tomatoes (the kind which is familiar in backyard gardens and pole tomatoes (which the grower tics on shoulder high telliscs like the ones home gardeners use for string beans). The fresh tomatoes on the supermarket shelves may come from either of these two types, but the majority are usually from the pole type be cause the farmer gets better quality, more production, and fewer of the scars and sun burns which buyers find ob jectionable. Most of the canned toma toes will come from the bush tomatoes, which are obviously cheaper to produce, and it is in this huge industry that the 'fashion revolution' is taking place. California now pro duces 60 per cent of the can nery crop, a monsfor 3,300.000 tons-which represents a lot of baekbreaking picking labor which scientists figure should be eliminated, association re leases state. In the process of designing their mechanical pickers (a half dozen different modols are now being tested), they made amazing discoveries: The tomato Is too fragile; it grows erratically, and it has The SALVATION ARMY Can use your discards- CLOTHING RAGS APPLIANCES YOUR USABLE FURNITURE Pick-ups on Tuesday and Friday PLEASE CALL 773-7335 for Testing -Do you march up to the reception desk of hotel or motel and elbow others aside who are in line ahead of you to register? If you've pushed your way past others a little more patient during a busy tourist season, you've just won a top award for crude- ness. -Do you adapt, if the con ditions are not as perfect as promised? Some of the over seas countries are just getting into the swing of seeking you as guest for a holiday and the shower may not always work, the soap supply not be ample.

Multiply your left-behind pa per plates and cups, soft drink bottles, etc., by the hundreds who also will use that picnic area in a given week and you see why some areas of the United States look like one big garbage heap. Crews eventually will pick up after you, but you're not thinking of the others who want to en joy the outdoors nor of the multi-million dollars of tax payers money spent on clean up alone. . -Do your driving manners show in reverse? Tail-gating, nudging out of your lane at a stop light for a quick get away when the light turns green-these invite disaster. -Do you remember to say thank you to the filling sta tion attendant, the policeman or anyone else who acts as a free guide? There are a dozen times a day the tourist has a chance to say thank you, and make traveling a treat instead of a trauma. the wrong shape, it was add ed. Undaunted, t!icy started re designing the tomato to fit their machines. In a decade of trials, they have come a long way. Now available are tomatoes which grow In neat clusters in the middle of the vine, which are firm enough to resist bruising by the ma chine, and which burst into sudden maturity so that the whole crop is ripe and ready for picking the same day. Pineapples? Cucumbers? They are still not satisfied They have improved both the tomato and the machine for picking them, but a lot of work remains before the dream of the tomato man -Look, Ma, no field hands!! becomes a reality. They have created extra-healthy vari eties which are not bothered by the once-troublesome prob-lems-verticilllum and fusari- am wilt-and are about ready with one which is resistant to still another, nematodes. It will be designed 'VFN' in stead of merely VF' as most new varieties are labeled They are also about ready to release for commercial pro- d u c 1 1 o n a slicing tomato which can be canned and handled like pineapple. And their next goal, on the 'oblong' tomato, is a variety which they declare will be perfect for their Improved harvesting machines. Such a tomato would have the advan tage of a smaller stem area, would move along conveyor belts without rolling around and getting bruised, and would withstand bouncing and bruising which is inher ent in mechanical handling. So, if a few years from now, a fellow remarks that a gal is 'some tomato,' he may mean she looks like an old cucumber. Be warned and ready to slap him.
