(AP) Seven leen girl baton twirlers, whose uni form ihrank to bikini dimen sions, have been advised what to do during the Memorial Day pa radestay home. The suggestion .came Friday from Dr. Edward F. Kennclly, su perintendent of schools. The majorettes, pupils at West Side High School, had complained their I year old uniforms had grown scantier and scantier due to repeated dry cleanings. "Improper," said one of the girls. "Immodest," said another. "They have been altered beyond the possibility of alteration," said a third. If march they must, the girls laid they would do so in street clothes. Kennclly was sympathetic but told the girls it is all right with him if they don't march at all. "After all, this isn't Pasadena." he said. The school head conferred for in hour with other officials. Then he announced he will consider making new uniforms an item in next year's budget. An even firmer olfer of help came from Samuel Sachs, chair man of the Veterans Civic League He said his group is ready to buy $23 uniforms for the girls next semester, if the school approves. The League's aim: to get the girls in shape for the big Veterans Day parade next November. OPEN DAILY T.OO P. H. NOW SHOWING! HENRY FONDA ANTHONY PERKINS! .A an THURSDAY!

MITCHELL I Secretary of Labor (Written for The Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP)-Within a few weeks about 1H million boys and girls will be graduating from high schools throughout the Unit ed States. Some will Immediately become members of the American labor force; others will be preparing themselves for additional training in colleges, through apprentice ship training and other education al programs. But, whatever their course of action, each of these hoys and girls will in a very real sense be highlighting once again one of the critical problems of our time: the relationship between education on the one hand and and employment and unemploy mrnt on the other. We have been learning a great deal about the relationship be tween education and employment during the recent recession, from which, I am glad to say, we are making a very vigorous recovery. These past months have shown us again how important a good edu cation and a skill are when the chips are down. Look at the figures for this very last month. They show an unem ploymem rate among unskilled workers 2'k times as high as the skilled worker. They show an un employment rate among unskilled workers as much as eight times as high as among professional and managerial workers. These few figures tell better than a thousand words the story of the great im portance of getting the best edu cation and training possible in preparing for the world of work. To those young people who are now receiving their high school Hinlnma. thi ilnrv t. nnrtirnlarlv llllWI dm. Di-tauav, wiiuv incsc graduates were completing their current senior term, about 800.0001 of their colleagues were dropping out of school, to their very great disadvantage. In a recent series of studies which we have just completed in the Department of Labor, the con trast in the employment and un employment experience among high school graduates as against dropouts was dramatically illus trated. In study of almost 25.000 young boys and girls, we found that the high school graduate got better jobs at higher pay. The dropouts experienced unemploy ment rates that were anywhere from 3 to 10 times as high as those of the high school gradu ates. Thus, our urging young people to stay m school and get the max irmim amount of education and training fits the economic facts of tile. The lesson that we have learned and learned again is important not only to the young people them selves but to the teachers and the counselors who work with young people. 1 am concerned with the fact that as I travel throughout the country and attempt to pomt up the importance of a good educa tion and a marketable skill, I am olten met with the query, "Why do you keep urging us to advise young people to get the maximum amount of education and training when we find that we can't place some of our best people?" It is true that there are some occupations and some skills and some areas where the going has been rough. But, let me give you an example of why I think educa tion and training are so impor tant: Let us imagine that instead of the year 1959 we were considering this problem a quarter of a cen tury ago in 1934. Or make it 193S or ISM. The exact year really does not matter. And. let us say that wt as teachers and counselors were visited by a young man with the interest, the talent, the aptitude the motivation to be an engineer Now we know that at the time many excellent engineers were without any job at all some of the lucky ones were. driving taxi cabs or working at filling sta tions. How should we have counseled this young man? Should we have advised him in relation to the time and current economic situa tion? Or, should we have kept our rye on t h e long-range ball and counseled him in terms of engi neering as a field winch wa: bound to have an excellent prog nosis for the future in view of the basic long-term occupational trends in the United States? How mucn better our advice and information would have been, and how much better off that young man would be, if our assessment had been related to the basic bng-range revolutionary trends in mis country. Today, -instead of a deep de pression, we are back on the path way of a substantial and signifi cant growm. All of our studies show that the major increases among the various occupations in our country will be concentrated among the professional, mana gerial, technical and skilled occu pations all of them requiring increasing education and training. Our long-term manpower future is one of exciting nolentialitie Let us tie our star to this kind of tuture. Ex-Sergeant On Way Home ALAMOGORDO, N.M.
