One Year.................... $7.00 Two Years SIJ.00 THE JOBS PROGRAM CON GAME Seldom a day goes by without one or more sanctimonious Representatives in Washington expounding on the subject of “jobs for the unemployed It is, they maintain, a prime responsibility of government to “provide jobs.” The hoax that government can “create" or “provide" jobs needs exposure Only business and industry can create or provide jobs. If the good Congressmen really want to reduce unemployment, then let them invest their money in a farm, a factory, or a retail store; let them buy the equipment, machinery and necessary supplies, and then let them hire workers to operate the farm, factory, or store, offering products and services that people want and need Real jobs are created by putting people to work providing useful goods and services. Instead of providing a genuine jobs program, however, our brilliant Congress came up with a “Public Service Job program." The idea was that by putting people on the public payroll — i.e., paid by the taxpayers "unemployment" could be reduced But what kind of jobs were provided'' In one state, eight new postions were set up in the Highway Department The exact function of the “workers" was not clear, but it was noticed that every one of them had been active political campaigners and supporters of the Governor. » In one city, two hundred “public service job" employees were actually “put to work" delivenng campaign material door-to-door for a candidate for the office of Mayor In another state, such poor records were kept that auditors say there is no way to know where the money went And how much money was spent' Well, for the current fiscal year it was $2.7 billion dollars. One would think that such wide-spread abuses would tend to discourage Congress from continuing the so-called “jobs" program. Not so. So anxious are the "liberal" Representatives to boast about what they have done (with your money) to "create" jobs, that they are now planning to increase the spending for “public service jobs" to seven billion dollars. To complete the hoax, those Congressmen pushing for the increase in “public service jobs" spending are the very same Congressmen who have voted for huge cuts in our national defense budget, which will bnng about a reduction of 71.000 civilian defense jobs between now and Sept. 30. 1977. Thus, 71.000 people now gainfully employed in the very important business of our national defense, will be laid off. Fortunately for the future and the security of the United States (as well as the protection of our pocketbooks) there is an election coming up this fall $ Proas Association Walkers Ready For Mar. 27 Walkathon Nvssa and Adrian resi­ dents are gening ready to join with Ontario and Vale to participate in this year’s Walkathon on March 27 which will benefit the cam­ paign for the prevention and treatment of birth defects.

Wettstein, active member of the Malheur County Farm Bureau and long-time Ontario farmer, spoke to a group of 38 unem­ ployed fathers who are currently receiving welfare in Malheur County. The meet­ ing. held March 11 in the Malheur County Library at Ontario, was sponsored by the Ontario Branch Office of the State Public Welfare Division. “An Employer’s Expecta­ tions When Hiring" was the topic discussed by Wettstein. A question and answer session followed his talk. He recommended that an under­ standing of the rate of pay for each job be cleared at the initial hiring contact to avoid any misunderstanding. Wett­ stein also listed some of the things he expected in an employee, including de­ pendability and an interest in doing a good job. He said he would prefer an untrained worker who would listen carefully to instructions and be willing to learn, than one who felt he already knew the job so well he didn't need to follow directions.
