SHIPPERS OF VETCH SEED
GIVEN OFFICIAL WARNING
Harvest Season
Is Nearing End
Salem, Nov. 20, (Special) — With
one of Oregon's most successful har
vest seasons rapidly drawing to a
close, the state employment service
report of agricultural placements for
the first 10 months of 1941 showed
132.736 farm jobs handled, compar
ed with 102.735 for the entire year
of 1940.
Reports from 23 employment of
fices to Director Lee C. Stoll put
Salem’s 36,895 placements In the
lead. Portland next with 29,381 and
other leading farm job offices rank
ing as follows: Ontario, 11342; Hood

the June berry harvests with 12.
651 placements.
Pear and apple picking kept the
Hood River, Medford and other of
fices busy during the fgil months,
while potato pickers boosted October
activity at Klamath Falls and Red
mond. Malheur county’s lettuce and
beet crops work kept the service
busy from April to November. The
Athena pea harvest occupied the
Pendleton office in June and July.
Although stringencies developed
at a few points, largely because of
weather conditions, reports from
growers, workers and farm camps
attested to the success of the state
employment service in handling vast
movements of migrant workers.
With the exception of calling a few
hundred families from California's
central valley or berry picking, most
of the harvest emergencies were met
with Oregon workers.

Today’s navy is a service of steel

skilled technicians, trained machin
ists, are required to keep the highly
mechanized navy in fighting trim
and ready for action.
The machinist section is one of
the three parts of group III schools
(others: metalworker and wood
worker). A class "A” basic school,
it furnishes a great many of the
men who leave San Diego as quali-
ified strikers, who ultimately receive
machinist rating.
An average of 60 men a month
graduate from the machine shop's
16-week course, which is divided into
four terms of four weeks each.
Most of the work is practical. But
one day a week is for studying such
academic subjects as blueprint read
ing, ratio and proportion, mensura
tion and general shop mathematics.
New students find qualified in
structors. most of them chief ma
