Dry Holiday
Parties Urged
In an effort to reduce the traffic
accident toll in “Deadly December”,
Howard L. Eddy, executive secretary
of the Oregon Traffic Safety Commis­
sion, has urged ail employers to dry
up Christmas parties.
As facts indicate more clearly each
year that the aftermath of accidents
following company drinking fests is
costly in lives and money lost, Ore­
gon industries in increasing numbers
are switching to non-alcoholic re­
freshments.
“While not legally responsible for
employees after they leave the com­
pany premises, the employer is cer­
tainly morally accountable for mis­
haps that occur because of a com­
pany-sponsored event,” said Eddy.
“If liquor is served at a company
Christmas party, however, the em­
ployer should provide safe transpor­
tation home for each celebrant. The
cost of chartered buses or taxis is
certainly less expensive than fines,
lost time of key men, hospital bills
and funeral costs,” he said.
Even the cautious tippler is not
safe from mishap. Just a few drinks,
bringing the blood alcohol content up
to 15/lOOs of one percent, increases
a person’s’ chance of having an acci­
dent 25 times more than when he’s
sober, noted Eddy.
Wyatt Selects
10 Candidates
Representative Wendell Wyatt (R-
Ore) has nominated ten young men
in the First Congressional District
as candidates for admission to the
United States Naval Academy and
the United States Merchant Marine
Academy. The following six young
men were selected as candidates for
Annapolis and they will compete for
one vacancy at the Academy. The
successful candidate will enter An­
napolis in July, 1965:
Alton Loe, Jr., Corvallis; John
Erickson, Astoria; Fred L. Sheely,
St. Helens; Stephen Brixey, McMinn­
ville; James H. Hicks, Salem; James
H. Kendall, Seaside .
Candidates to the Merchant Marine
Academy, which school offers a four
year course leading to a license as
an officer in the U. S. Merchant
Marine and a commission as Ensign
in the U. S. Naval Reserve, are as
follows:
Ormond Ormsby, Portland (Wash­
ington Co.); Robert Lamendola, Sea­
side; Stephen D. Moore, Astoria; Mi­
chael Timm, Milwaukie.
These candidates will compete with
other nominees from throughout the
state for three vacancies at the Mer­
chant Marine Academy allocated to
the State of Oregon.
Here’s a cold fact from the Traffic
Safety & Education Division of the
Oregon Department of Vehicles: At
20 miles an hour, you can stop your
car in 43 feet on dry pavement. On
ice, you would need 217 feet to stop!
Remember, use chains on ice or
snow.

QUESTION: I’m an employer. How
can the Oregon State Employment
Service help me with personnel pro­
blems in trainee selection, reduction
of labor turnover and identification
of changing skill requirements re­
quired by new plant processes?
"ANSWER: Selection tests have
been developed for over five hundred
occupations. In servicing employer
orders these tests may be used in se­
lecting applicants for referral who
will be quicker to learn, produce fas­
ter and offer increased chances for
reliability on the job. Jobs can also
be analyzed by specialists to provide
a basis for improved applicant se­
lection, identification u f changing
skill requirements and for test devel­
opment.
QUESTION: Is there a report-writ­
ing contest sponsored through the
president’s Committee on Employ­
ment of the handicapped and who is
eligible
ANSWER: Yes, this marks the 17th
A n n u a l “Ability Counts” contest
sponsored by the President’s Com­
mittee on Employment of the Handi­
capped in cooperation with the Gov­
ernors” and Community Commit­
tees. All 11th and 12th grade students
are eligible to enter the report-writ­
ing contest. Each state winner is a-
warded an expense-paid trip to Wash­
ington, D. C., paid for by the AFL-
CIO, to attend the annual meeting of
the President’s Committee and to
meet other state winners. State win­
ners are also eligible to win $1,000,
$600, $400, $300, or $200 prizes in the
national contest. The Oregon first
five winners receive attractive certi­
ficates and $330, $220, $110 scholar­
ships and $50 and $25 savings bonds
in that order. Juniors and seniors in
high schools interested in writing a
report of this year’s theme, How the
Handicapped Are Overcoming Bar­
riers to Employment in My Commun­
ity, may obtain more information
from their English instructors or the
Oregon Department of Employment
office nearest them.

QUESTION: How many of the job
applicants served by Employment
Service are unemployed at the time
they are helped to find employment
ANSWER: At least 98 percent of
workers placed in jobs through the
Employment Service are unemployed
at the time of placement. The ser­
vice’s placements of “professional,
technical and managerial” workers
involve very few persons who are not
unemployed at the time they apply
for employment. By law, the Wagner-
Peyser Act, which created the Em­
ployment Service, all persons, em­
ployed or unemployed, who apply for
employment at the public employ­
ment o f f i c e s , must be served.
Workers in the professional, techni­
cal and managerial categories also
become unemployed and there are
always persons who are looking for
better employment to best suit their
abilities and aptitudes. The latter
group, however, is less than 2 per­
cent of the total number of place­
ments made by the Employment
Service.
