Held at Hillsboro Home
Americans who were investigating
foreign aid and communistic pro­
blems which are found today in un-
derpriviliged lands.
They found this country very un­
derdeveloped, with much filth, and
beggars everywhere. There were no
sanitary facilities or decent homes,
la rg e families are the rule, but most
children die in infancy. Pumps for
irrigating were taken there five
years ago, but not yet released to
the farmers.
Food sliipped in, such as the large
shipload of wheat from here last
week, does not reach the hungry
people, but generally is sold by those
in power, and helps feed the Commu­
nists. There were no wharves for
ships to land, so they must anchor
in deep water, and the produce trans­
ported to and from the ships by
small boats.
Places visited were Karachi and
Lahore which are much in the news.
This is an old country, about which
Heroditus wrote. It also was con­
quered by Philip of Macedon, father
of Alexander the Great, several
years before the birth of Christ.
There are beautiful mosques dat­
ing back several thoucand years in
the midst of the squalor and poverty.
Men have bought many acres of land
and are compelling the starving
people to work for them for a mere
existence.

The Grange history booklets were
ready for distribution, and many
bought a copy. The price is $1.00
each. It was recalled that when Win­
ema Grange was organized in 1924,
the big mill was in operation, and
when Pomona met there first in 1926,
45 took the fifth degree, and Winema
was one of the largest Granges in
the county.
The lecturer's program was dedi­
cated to Youth Week, with the songs,
Whispering Hope by the Grange, In
the Garden by Mrs. Jenks of Marsh­
land Grange.
The next meeting of Pomona will
be with Chapman in August.
Memorial services were held for
those who passed away during the

QUESTION: How many are in
MDTA training in Oregon at the pre­
sent time.
ANSWER: There are approximate­
ly 1,300 persons in training under the
Manpower Development and Train­
ing Act at the present time in the
state. Largest number of these (266)
are in a special youth multi-occupa­
tional training program in Eugene.
In Portland 206 are in a special
youth training program and 203
others in a multi-occupational pro­
gram for adults.
Other training courses about the
state include dental assistants (103);
clerk - stenographer (155); clerical
(22); cooks (25); forester aide (85);
waitress (37); entry loggers 41)
and 157 in multi-occupational train­
ing at Ontario.
QUESTION : D o e s the Oregon
State Employment Service offer any
kind of training in job finding?
ANSWER: Yes, a number of the
ofices of the Department of Employ­
ment around the state offer classes
in job-finding techniques. Some of
these are on a regular basis and
others are offered when need and
time permits. The classes are taught
b y especially trained instructors.
Training includes labor supply con­
ditions, techniques of self-appraisal,
identification o f sources through
which employment is typically found,
introduction of applicants to good
letter writing and provision of infor­
mation on the use and construction
of resumes’! The Employment Ser­
vice in Oregon has instructed indivi-’
dual applicants a n d occasionally
youth and older worker groups in job
finding techniques for over fifteen
years. Group presentation methods
were developed and implemented in
1963.
QUESTION: What does the Oregon
State Employment Service have to
do with occupational analysis
ANSWER: Specialists within the
Oregon State Employment Service
administrative staff make studies of
all kinds of jobs within the state.
Currently the occupational analysis
staff is cooperating in a study of the
effects of automation upon the saw­
mill jobs in Oregon. Staffing sched­
ules, job analysis schedules, job com­
parison, and worker requirements
are the major contributions to this
study. In addition to direct assistance
to local office operations business
and industry obtain valuable assis­
tance through occupational analysis.
For example the occupational analy
sis staff has trained employer rep­
resentatives in the use and applica­
tion of job analysis techniques and
procedures. Through application of
benefits Highest rate of insured un­
employment was also during the
week ending January 15 at 8.7 com­
pared to 6.9 percent a year earlier.
During the three peak weeks of pay­
ments in January, the total amount
paid cut in benefits averaged about
a quarter of a million dollars more
each week than during the similar
weeks in 1964. Note that these fig­
ures cover insured employment only,
and do not include agricultural em­
ployment which was hampered by
the floods.
QUESTION: We hear a lot these
day’s about the employment of youth,
but what is being done about the em­
ployment of older workers?
ANSWER: The Oregon State Em­
ployment Service has done much to­
ward promoting the employment of
older workers. Each office of the
OSES has an older workers represen­
tative who gives special service and
arranges for counseling if necessary
for workers 45 years of age or over.
The older worker representative as­

are extremely valuable in utilizing

assisting in solving many in-plant

cases, the Employment Service has
done the actual analysis of the jobs
for the employers.
QUESTION: What is the real de­
finition of a seasonal employee in
relation to receipt of unemployment
insurance benefits.
ANSWER: Generally any employ­
ee, as covered by the unemployment
insurance law, and is otherwise qual­
ified to receive unemployment insur­
ance benefits when he becomes un­
employed is not classified as a sea­
sonal employee in relation to receiv­
ing such benefits. The basic qualifi­
cations, of course, include receipt of
at least $700 in wages in his base
year (the first four of the last five
calendar quarters preceding his ben­
efit year) and that he has worked at
least 20 weeks for an average of $20
per week. And of course, he must be
available for work, looking for work,
and not able to find suitable work.
