out employment, at present.
Two married workers are in the
department of education, where
no definite policy was formed
regarding employment. Two ad­
ditional workers recently were
included in the personnel. When
it became necessary to discharge
one, the married girl was dis­
missed in view of outside sup­
port, despite each was equally
efficient.
The fire marshal’s office, sup­
reme court, library and public
service commission have no defi­
nite policy. There are an equal
number of married workers em­
ployed in each office.
No married women are em­
ployed in the Corporation depart­
ment, although Mark McCallister
has made no change of policy.
California legislators seek to
pass a law requiring employment
of none but single persons unless
the applicant can prove herself
the head of the family.
Many Oregon cities now are
seeking single school teachers,
and city office employes, as an
unemployment relief measure.
Salem has been active in this
regard.
SALEM, Ore.—(UP)—Reports

Of this sum, Columbia county
spent $33,500 for care of its
poor.
Devers proposes to initiate le­

from counties to the state. He
