Anyone with any kind of work is urged to avail themselves of the special techniques of the Oregon State Employment S e r v i c e in matching the skills and aptitudes of beginning workers with their job openings.

New Pentagon contracts PPL Starts Rebuilding Beatty Line Pacific Power & Light Com pany's transmission line construc tion crews have started the sec ond phase of rebuilding the Beatty- Sprague River power line, Sam Ritchey, PP&L's Klamath Falls district manager, reports. Crews are making progress on tile translcrring of the conductor. presently operating at distribution voltage, to the new poles along the line which will allow opera tion at 69,000 volts capacity. The line has been serving as a distribution circuit for customers located between the two commu nities. Ritchey reported the new work will convert the line to high er voltage in order to complete a 69.O00-volt transmission loop which will provide Dairy, Bonanza. Bly, bpraguc River and Beatty with an alternate route for power delivery. In emergencies, he explained the area will have a more depend able supply and length of outages will be reduced. Work is scheduled to be completed by July 15, Riitchcy said. The $34,567 project involves the replacement of the 94 existing1 poles with 92 treated weather and insect-resistant poles. In addition to providing these communities with an alternate power supply route, Ritchey said, the line will serve as a backup lacility for the main transmission circuit supplying Lakeview. PP&L's program of providing loop service to all Klamath district areas helps its crews to speed res toration of power in the event of an emergency outage, he said. PP&L customers presently be ing served by the distribution line slated for conversion to 69,000 volts will soon be served by a new 12.000-volt distribution circuit. The new circuit will cost an esti mated $25,976 to build and will be mounted on the poles beneath the transmission line. mo o y tii An r.ifnB4Aff! By Pension NEW YORK UPI The growth in number of persons covered and in assets of the na tion's various pension funds, both governmental and private, has featured the past 24 years, but it will reach even more astronomic al levels within the next 20, a recent study shows. The 43rd annual report of the .National Bureau of Economic Re search, in a section dealing with the economic aspects of pensions, showed a grand total of 102.2 million persons covered by pen sion programs of all kinds fed eral, state and local, and private in I960. There were, of course, many duplications. These plans had assets of $105 2 billions. They included the federal government programs, old age. survivors and disability: railroad retirement, federal civil service, which covered 76.1 million indv duals. wth asset accumulations of 36.8 billions. State and local governments had 4 5 million individuals under the pension tent, with assets of $18.5 billions: private plans. 21 6 mil lions, and assets of $49.9 billions. Growth Predicted The Bureau in its projections for future coverage under the slate and local plus private plans, excluding the federal pension set ups, would show an anticipated growth from 26.1 million persons in 1960 to 48.7 millions in 1980: and assets to pyramid from SK8.7 billion in 1960 to $.1193 billions by 1980. The Bureau, whose study of pension systems was directed by Roger F. Murray. Sloan Colt Competition for these contracts is keen around the country, rtewsmap shows, on a per capita basis, how J27.8 billion worth of defense contracts was divided among the 50 states in fiscal 1962. m Wnmrinr ":- - ' JEANIE WALKER and 2 Klamath Women Secure Real Estate Licenses Two Klamath Falls women, Jcanic L.

Fund Plans professor of banking and finance at the Graduate School of Busi ness at Columbia University, re ported that "dynamic changes' have taken place in the direction taken by the flows of these funds and more are in prospect. Within a 15-ycar span, as an example, it found these changes in the percentage of total assets invested by slate government re tirement systems in various types of capital: In 1947, cash and deposits were 2.3 per cent, in 1961, down to '1 per cent; federal government se curities in 1947, 70.6 per cent, in 1961 down to 30.1 per cent; state and local government securities, 20.4 and 13.8 respectively. Mortgages Rise Sharply Corporate bonds had risen from 4.2 per cent in 1947 to 37.9 per cent by 1961: corporate stocks from eight tenths of one per cent to 2.6 per cent; percentage of mortgages had blossomed from 1,1 to 11.6 per cent: other assets from six tenths of one per cent to 3 per cent. The changes in portfolios of cor porate non-insured funds followed a similar pattern, except that their corporate bond investments rose only slightly, while corporate stocks went from 15 8 per cent to .18.3 per cent. The effect? "We conclude that public and private pension accumulations have gradually come to make an important contribution to the more efficient allocation of resources through t he mechanism of the market place for long term funds." the Bureau report said, i I I J- rr I V:' .
