The labor dispute in the wood products industry was a major factor affecting employment, in Klamath County during the month of July. The secondary effect of this dispute was, how ever, not as great as had been anticipated. Leonard T. Sytsma. State Employment Office mana ger, said this week. Unemployment dropped slight ly from the high level of late June. Conversely, employment showed a slight increase. A total of 268 non-agricultural job open ings were received by this office during July 1963 as compared to 222 during June 1963 and 307 during July 1962. Retail sales were generally re ported to be good. However, sev eral retailers indicated a drop in sales toward the end of July. Agricultural employment iiv creased during July. Most of this increase was a result of hoy harvest activities. Rate of insured unemployment for the week ending July 25, 1963. was 8.7 iper cent compared to four weeks ago, 9.8 per cent; one year ago, 3 per cent, and two years ago, 3.8 per cent. Klamath County had the high est rate of insured unemploy ment in the state during the week ending July 25, 1963. For the week ending July 6, 1963, the insured unemployment rate for the U.S. was 3.7 per cent and for Oregon 3.8 per cent. Non-agricultural employment in Klamath County is expected to rise during August. The la bor dispute will affect the amount of increase in employment. Ag ricultural employment is expect ed to' increase to a peak level during the potato harvest in late September and October. No short age of labor is expected except in a few highly skilled occupations.

Hie hottest For the past 20 years Mrs. Kanyamunyu has worked with various African Girl Guidance groups, which were originally patterned after tlie English or ganization. Now, however, Ugan da wants to form its own pro gram for Girl Guides and have it resemble tlie Girl Scouts. During her stay, she has visit ed tlie various units at Camp Smith Creek, each consisting o( a group of open-air cabins, tents or lean-tos. There is an aver age of 80 girls and 20 counselors at the camp. Mrs. Kanyamunyu watched them at their campfires, cookouts. preparing for overnight hikes, doing camp chores and woodcrafts, swimming and folk dancing. It was just as education al for tlie girls, however, as they constantly plied Mrs. Kan yamunvu with questions about her ; ow n country and its cus toms. She showed them tlie every day dress of tlie Uganda house wife, although usually she wore tlie bright blue unilorm of tlie Girl Guides. At present, tlie guide counselors would not be allowed to wear (lie uniform worn by their American counterpart On special days and Sundays tlie Camp Smith Creek counselors wear tlieir "greenie" which con sists of green shorts and knee length socks, white blouses and green string tie. Mrs. Kanyamunyu speaks Eng lish quite well although it is ap parently an Ugandan trait to sub stitute the sound of "I" with an " Her only real problems in ad justing to American living were the colder climate and sonic of the foods. Accustomed to the much simpler fare 'of Uganda such as spinach, sweet potatoes, peas, dried beans and tlie main stay of cooked green bananas, she found American food very rich. Ugandans also drink a great deal of milk and their butter has considerably more "flavor' as it is kept for at least a month before being used. Mrs. Kanyamunyu said it will be sometime before they can ap ply to tlieir own country what they have learned of camping here, as there are several large obstacles to be first overcome. The most basic one is financial. Tlie people of Uganda are still quite poor and each family must pay for whatever education is received by tlieir children. This leaves very little money for camp equipment. (This has also sharp ly reduced Die practice of mul tiple marriages, she said). Even with camping supplies available, anotlier existing prob lem would prevent tlie Girl Guides from pitching tents away from town. In recent years great areas of grassland have been burned off, depleting the food supply of the lions. Conse quently, tlie hungry lions would quickly shorten the outdoor vis its of tlie tender young campers. Before going back to her own country, Mrs. Kanyamunyu is returning to Columbia University where she has just spent three weeks to continue with a series of lectures being given in a spe cial leadership program.
