Employment in Decatur Last week just 8 new claims were filed for unemployment compensation in Decatur, with a total number of 154 claims. This is considerably less than the 250-300 claims that were on file during the winter months, Decatur’s employment has consistently remained high, and is now over 97% of the work force —a real record in a state where the average is closer to 90%. Last week was the second week during which persons who had previously exhausted regular unemployment benefits could file for extended payments, if they were still out of work. This part of the Kennedy program was passed by Congress this year to help those who must readjust, and find other means of employment. Soon summer seasonal work will open; in fact, it is understood that at least three families from Texas have already come to the community looking for seasonal work. The state picture, as well as the local picture, has \ also improved, and Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, attributes it to the absence of any large-scale layoffs, recalls in several industries, as well as seasonal employment, such as construction, picking up. The economic up-turn, which has been evident in Decatur for six weeks, is now spreading to the rest of the country. It will be good news for everyone. Actually, the so-called “recession” is more of an adjustment than a depression, in the sense that the 1929-33 depression was a recession. Certain industries are hurt by competition, by poor planning, or other things, by changes of location, etc. But the nation, as a whole, is healthy economically. This should not, in the least, lessen our interest in helping retrain those whose jobs have been abolished because of automation or changes in . production. It is society’s duty, not to give them handouts, which they probably do not want anyway, but to help them train themselves for new and needed jobs. And every parent, every school child, should seriously consider the need for more education, more training before going out to work. Factories will no longer hire those without a high school education for even the most menial task. And management opens its ranks only to the college graduate. editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.
