Good things from trees

It’s not a tall story to say the U.S. is the number one producer of a certain type of oil—it’s the tall oil story. Tall oil is a by-product of papermaking. It comes from the pine wood used to make a particular type of pulp for paper and paper products. TTie Swedes, who first recovered it, named it “Tallolja” meaning pine oil. When production was started in this country, the name was modified to “tall oil” to distinguish it from a product already well-known here as “pine oil” that has a different chemical composition. The United States leads the world in the production and use of tali oil. "We create some S2OO million worth of this product every year. We use it in a variety of ways. Chemicals made from tall

oil are used to make protective coatings, soaps and shampoos, detergent, rubber, paint, varnish, ink and lacquer, waxes, polishes, adhesives and agricultural products. It’s used in the mining industry to separate one metal from another in ore and it’s used in the pharmaceutical industry to make medicines, such as cortisone. Tall oil even helps improve our stock of crude oil, since it can be used to get more oil out of an oil well. U.S. production of tall oil came into prominence in World War II because so many of our other oils were channeled into the war effort. Today, tall oil’s major advantage over other types of oil is that it has not been affected by agricultural con-

ditions or a changing economy. Tall oil comes from Southern pines which grow abundantly in east Texas and across the deep south into the Carolinas. Starting this year, production levels of intermediate chemicals from tall oil will be improved by a 35,000 metric-ton-a-year distillation plant put up by GeorgiaPacific in Arkansas. The plant will make fatty acids, rosin acids and other chemicals, and Will utilize a process that increases the yield of these chemicals without boosting normal energy requirements. Basically, tall oil is produced from raw wood. The wood is reduced to chips which are then digested under heat and pressure with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. This causes the rosin and fatty acid soaps in the wood to separate out. They are . skimmed off and reacted with sulfuric acid to convert them into free rosin and fatty acids. The mixture settles and the impurities are separated out. Then the tall oil is washed With hot water and allowed to settle before it’s drawn off and stored. The tall oil this process produces would seem to settle a tall order of turning an abundant resource into useful products for America. Court news The following claims have been filed in Kosciusko County Court, Plenary Division, James Jarrette, judge: United Farm Bureau vs John Rupprecht, North Webster. Plaintiff seeks a judgment of $884.10, interest and costs.

Goshen grads have found teaching positions

Although the United States has more teachers than teaching positions, a high percentage of recent Goshen College graduates with teaching certificates have found teaching jobs, notes a career services report released Wednesday, Nov. 12. Os the 1980 graduates who have sought teaching positions, 91 per cent of the elementary and 72 per cent of the secondary education candidates currently hold fulltime teaching positions. Both percentages exceed the national placement average of approximately 67 per cent. S. L. Yoder, professor of education, gave several reasons for the successful placements. The key, he said, is “the work of our placement office, the reputations our graduates have established across the country as teachers, and the way we develop our teacher candidate credentials.” Several other developments are increasing the job market for teachers, said J. B. Shenk, director of career services. He pointed out that the number of teachers leaving the profession has been growing. This unexpected development; occurring mostly in secondary schools, has been upsetting many forecasts and creating positions “in numbers that were unforeseen," he said. He listed budget cuts, violence, lack of respect and motivation as some reasons for this movement. Graduates of small colleges have advantages in the job search, Yoder said, because small colleges can provide individualized attention to students and job possibilities. For example, he said the faculty was able to maintain contact with the 22 elementary education candidates during the past summer even though they were located in many states. In addition, the job openings for elementary candidates were excellent this year. Yoder said the college “could have place possibly 10 more elementary school teachers in Pennsylvania this year.” Those openings were largely in private schools, a

promising new market for teachers, he said. The secondary education placement percentage is somewhat lower than that for elementary schools but secondary placements fluctuate with demands for teachers in particular subject areas. Mathematics, industrial arts, special education and business education are all in need of teachers, Yoder said. He added that English candidates are quickly given positions, with one being offered three jobs this past year. Chemistry and physics are two other fields with excellent prospects. However, the job competition is much stiffer in social studies and physical education. These two fields have been well saturated since the post-World War II period when veterans flooded the market, Yoder said. Although the prospects are slightly dimmer than in math or special education, he added that “a dedicated candidate with strong potential will probably find a teaching job.” Job possibilities for middleschool majors are, very good, Yoder said. Presently many of the junior high-middle schools are staffed by secondary education teachers, he noted, but by 1982 Indiana schools are committed to employing as many middle-school candidates as are available. “Our middle-school majors have all found jobs easily,” he said. Yoder also commented on the implications of the recent Republican election sweep for education. He predicted increased control of schools by local communities and the states, a trend which he applauded. But he warned of likely cutbacks in funding, with states and communities having the burden of supplying additional money. Yoder also expressed concern for schools in economically depressed areas with this shift. He said increased state and local control contributes to “a reluctance or negligence in providing for poor communities or special kinds of services.”

The idea came from Mrs. Conrad, with the supplies and building time given as donations to the project. American Industries donated the lumber, Syracuse Hardware donated the paint and Commodore Corporation contributed the carpeting. Michael Feaster, David Gargett and Steve Conrad built the yellow and brown structure at the back of the classroom. Pictured in the front row, from left to right, are second grade students Jay Losee.

IT'S THE LAW! Jobs For The Handicapped If you’re qualified but disabled, you may be entitled to serious consideration for a job with fully half of America’s some three million businesses covered by Federal laws. The crucial word is “qualified.” You must be capable of performing a particular job—with reasonable accommodation to your handicapping condition, if such accommodation is needed. You may be disabled but not really “handicapped” unless you (1) have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities, (2) have a record of such an impairment, and (3) are regarded as having such an impairment. “Substantially limits...” concerns your degree of disability. A handicapped person who has a hard time getting a job, or getting ahead on the job because of a disability, would be considered “substantially limited.” As for your “major life activities,” these include communication, ambulation, self-care, socialization, education, transportation, and employment. The main emphasis is on activities that in some way affect your employment. For further information about employment laws affecting disabled people, write to the President’s Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, Washington, D.C. 20210.
