The employment service is one place you can get help with job problems. Some types of problems young people confront are no ex - perlenee, changing jobs, interrup- tion in schooling, marriage and children, school dropouts, return from the armed forces, appear ance, and hard to choose what you want to do. Poor character qualities rather than skill is the reason many lose their jobs. Carelessness, laziness, absence or tardy without a reas onable explanation, refusal to take orders, troublemaking, outside in terests and insufficient initiative are other factors in losing jobs. 1 mnwmwmi ' 1 vl in background.

School Paper Reduces Size By SANDRA SPEAR Associate Editor Newspaper styling has taken a turn for the Klamath Union High School 'Krater.' It was diminished in size January 24 to 12x9 inches from its original 18x12 inches. The same amount of copy and advertising will appear in the six pages of this new paper. Also two new columns inaugurated in the last issue will appear. They are "Platter Chatter" and "Book Nook." Changing the size of the paper was introduced by the editorial board of the Krater. Their reason being that the cost of the small er paper is, lower than that of the larger paper. Judy Ellis, ed- itor-in-chief of the Krater. stated that the smaller size is easier to handle and also more attractive. Another change being contem plated is a long-range policy of the printing of a weekly school newspaper. However, this trans formation would not materialize until next year, if at all. " A survey was taken by the Krater staff in order to obtain the stu dents' preferences as to the kind of stories they would like to read in their school paper. Other schools following the policy of a smaller size paper are Mad ras, Oregon which has taken the All American Awards for the last four years. Sacred Heart Acade my s Chimes here in Klamath Falls, is being published in the abbreviated size. Staff members for the Krater; -n ITU. ; l- are Judy Ellis, editor-in-chief.

Klamath Union High School students define it as: That form of writing designed es pecially for publication such as newspaper and magazines, radio and television. Journalism in high school is not usually taught with the idea of making newspapermen and wom en out of all who come in con tact with it. While it is true that more and more students who work on high school publications enter the field of journalism or fields closely related to it, still the vast majority of students who take journalism courses or who work on school papers will never enter the newspaper world or other oc cupational fields closely related to it. Why, then, is high school jour nalism taught? The purposes of student journa lism are: To prepare for work on a high school newspaper; to ac quire habits of clear, concise writ ten expressions; acquire critical attitude toward news and an abil ity to evaluate the worth of pub lication through wide and intelli gent reading of newspapers and periodicals: to acquire poise, tact and self-confidence ,in business and social relations; to acquire skill in collecting, condensing, and organizing material from all sourc es of information; to discover and develop interest in creative -func Leigh Price Named Top Homemaker By SHIRLEY STILLWELL Leigh Price was chosen the Bet ty Crocker Homemaker of Tomor row at Klamath Union High School.

Over half of the 26,000 high schools in the country have a school publication of some kind; while there are around 5.000 real ly good high school newspapers, 3,000 yearbooks and 1,000 maga zines. The names of student publica tions, although criticized for not sounding as professional as those lound at the corner newsstands, are built into the life and tra ditions of the school. Newswriting, because of its un ique characteristics, has a distinc tive terminology known to the ed itors, reporters, and printers who Wandering Goat Finds New Home By MARGIE SHIELDS Someone sent their goat to Klamath Union High School. It sounds ridiculous but it actually did happen. A two-week-old kid was discovered on one of KUHS's back porches by Jan Ewing Tues day morning, January 14. Around her neck was tied a red ribbon and a blue card which read My name is Bimi and need a good home." Jan picked Bimi up and carried her downstairs to the girls' locker room wnere she attempted to feed her some milk. She ex plained that Bimi was too fright ened to eat anything. In an interview Jan declared that Bimi now has a good home in an old chicken coupe in the backyard. Jan also ttateri tw "Bimi is a great bfg nuisance but we an love her and she seems to like her new home."

Newswriting is a distinctive kind of writing, as you will find out in the course of journalism, a type of writing that may call for some "unlearning" as well ns some learn ing on the part of the beginner. The one who can write a good composition is not necessarily rea dy to report for the school news paper. In . good compositions the main point or the climax is us ually found somewhere between the middle and the end of the account. But in the typical news story the important thing is told in a short, first paragraph and the details are dropped in later, the most trivial coming after the middle of the story. Functions of the school paper are as follows: Aids to the school which are: To educate the community as to the work of the school: to pub lish school news; to create and express school opinion; to capita lize the achievements of the school; to encourage and stimulate worth while activities; to aid in develop ing right standards of conduct: to promote understanding of oth er schools; to provide an outlet for student betterment of the school; to develop better Inter- school relationships; to increase school spirit and promote coop eration between parents and school. 2. Aids to the pupil which are: To provide an opportunity for in teresting writing; to give students the opportunity to learn how to read newspapers; to act as a stim ulus to better work; to develop student powers of observation and discrimination concerning relative merits of news articles; to serve as an outlet and motivation for journalistic writing; to offer train ing in organization, business meth ods, commercial art, salesman ship, bookkeeping, and business management; and to develop qual ities of cooperation, tact, accuracy, tolerance, responsibility, initia tive and leadership.

That is the way It ns ually happens. It has been known to shatter not only the hopes but the com posure of some families. In oth ers, it has nurtured false dreams of fame and riches. Misimpressions about the news paper busines tare so widespread inai ooin me wouiu-De newspaper man, and his parents owe it to themselves to look at "newspaper- ing as it really is today. Today, newspaper incomes com pare favorably with other callings. Even the beginner can expect $50 to $75 a week. The newspaper man of five years' experience is paid $5,000 to $7,500 a year. If he goes on to an executive job. he generally receives $10,000 or more. Practically every metropol itan newspaper protects its staff with pension plans and group in surance, including hospitalization. Vast fields of news today em brace a great deal more than news papers. And journalism serves as a solid foundation for many mod ern careers in related fields. Even with this comparatively recent ex pansion, news represents only a small fraction of the careers open in the communication field. Training in the gathering and dis semination of news is essential in every medium of mass com munication newspapers, maga sines, motion pictures, radio and television. Editors and reporters are pret ty serious folk today, With a- tiwp devotion to truth and dedication to service of th; American peo ple. They realize the importance of their role in a democracy and strive to Inform, enlighten, enter tain and sometimes to instruct. One of the reasons for the growth and strength of the American de mocracy is the free press which, fortunately, gained its footing along with the infant nation. Integrity and responsibility are its founda tions, just as they are the bed rock for individual character.
