RURAL COMMUNITIES ADVISED
TO EDUCATE YOUTH FOR CITY JOBS
nuiai communities must edu
cate their young for city jobs
or seriously handicap their fu
ture as productive citizens, As
sistant Secretary of Labor
Jerry R. Holleman warned a
conference of rural area ad
visors meeting recntly in Wash
ington, D. C.
“Our population and work
“£ce are indivisable,” he said.
No longer is the future of the
rural individual a separate
consideration from that of the
city dweller.”
Holleman, who was raised
on a Texas farm, outlined the
manpower outlook and its im
plications for farm youth and
farm operators.
Highlights of talk: Farm oc
cupations will decline by 17
per cent this decade, and fewer
but better trained farmers will
be needed;
A farm boy traveling to the
big city now finds much
more difficulty in finding- work
—unless he has a skill and can
meet other education demands.
Rapid technological progress
combined with automation has
been reducing the number of
unskilled and semi-skilled jobs;
PNA Reduces
Several Fares
A reduction of approximate-!
ly 30 per cent in the Pacific i
Northern Airlines’ fare be-:
tween Anchorage and Kenai,
effective January 7, 1962, sub
ject to Civil Aeronautics Board
approval, has been announced
by Harold A. Olsen, PNA vice
president of traffic and sales.
The new fare is $7.00 one-way.
Round trip fare is twice the
one-way, or $14.00 plus tax.
Family plan round-trip fares
between Southeastern Alaska
points and the Pacific North
west, were inaugurated by
Pacific Northern Airlines Jan
uary 1, 1962, with the reduced
tariffs in effect until April 30.
A round-trip fare of $80.00
per family member with one
full fare paying passenger will '
apply between Juneau and j
Seattle-Tacoma; $74.70 be- ■
tween Ketchikan and Seattle- j
Tacoma; and $116.00 beween
Sitka and Seattle-Tacoma. The
latter is in conjunction with
Alaska Coastal Airlines. Sim-,
ilar fares apply bet ween South
eastern Alaska and Portland,
Oregon.

No more than 10 per cent of
the boys growing up on farms
can expect the opportunity to
make a respectable living by
operating a farm;
Improvement in rural educa
i l*°n is fundamental to any last
ing alleviation of rural man
power problems. Rural com
munities and their schools, for
the most part, have not kept
pace with educatioanal require
ments;
During this decade there will
be unusually heavy competi
tion for jobs among young
people, with 23 million seeking
their first jobs.
