$1,000 and $17O0. This means that

only $3.50 Of his social security

IF Jones should underestimate
his earnings and earn more
than $1700, he would lose 81 OF

over $17OO. But, Drane noted,
there is also another exception

petitive position Of the industry
or corporation involved is a
basic factor in the employment
picture.
General Motors hired more
people this year than last, but
it also manufactured more au-
tomobiles. Bituminous coal was
forced into a bad position when
the demand for coal fell off be-
cause Of the competition from
natural gas and petroleum.
Those factors, plus the labor
saving machinery, spelled dis
aster for the bituminous labor
force.
Persons who look on automa-
ton without fear like to cite
what happened when the Unit
ed States emerged from the
horse and buggy age. There
were about 225, 900 persons en-
ployed to make wagons, har-
ness and put shoes on horses.
The automobile swiftly put
them out Of work. But within a
few years there were 2 million
persons employed in manufac-
turing, servicing and selling au-
tomobiles.
Persons who fear automation

have this quick reply: II 1t Is
true that automation creates
jobs, why are there 3.9 million
persons unemployed today?
They mention "silent firingS,'
meaning that jobs that might
be available to the army of UNI
employed already are being
done by automation.
Retaining Roadblocks
Much emphasis is put on the
retraining Of the unemployed to
equip them for jobs in automat-
ed factories. The federal gov
eminent has plunged into It
with 1924 projects all over
the country involving $685. per-
sons. There are about 5000 adj
ditional persons being trained
on the job, that is, they are
taught while they are working.
But the program runs into
some curious resistance re-
CARELESS Of whether the project
is sponsored by the government
or private industry. In Califor-
mia, $4,000 unemployed persons
were eligible for a 13-week re-
training course. Only 38 applied
and only 26 actually took the
course.

both sides Of the question with
statistics and examples that
are above reproach. Like this:
in the first nine months of
this year General Motors Corp.
employed a total of BAG, 1877 per-
sons in this country. For the
same period last year 332,2 O7
were employed. General Motors
relies heavily on automation,
but here we have the number
Of workers increasing.
There are instances where
automation causes only a tenn
porary loss Of jobs. Cadillac in
stalled an engine cylinder block
machining department. It re-
duced the number of workers
needed from SO to II. Thus Is
persons were laid off early in
July, but all Of them were re-
hired for other jobs in Septem-
Der.
That is the bright side Of the
attenuation picture, but there is
a dark one, too:
In 1923 there were 643, 200
men employed in this country
mining bituminous coal. Over
the years labor saving machin-
cry was introduced. BY 1860 the
number of miners employed had
fallen to 1879 400. Here you have
more than SOC, 900 men, trained
to do only one thing, thrown on
the labor market.
Studies made last June
showed that the number of en-
ployes in a leading chemical
company was down by 8 per
cent; a big oil company was
down % per cent; and a food
corporation was down Is per
cent. ALI of them had gone in
heavily for automation.

donation is dangerous, but it is

10000 US Jobs Lost
Weekly To Automation

WASHINGTON CUPID - You
own a small candy store locat-
ed one block from a high school
and you have one clerk. One
day a man appears at the high
school and installs a machine
from which the students can
get candy bars by dropping a
coin in a slot.
Here, in its simplest form, is
the dilemma of automation. The
pupils begin buying candy from
the machine and your business
drops to the point where you
have to fire your clerk. But the
nations labor force still is in
balance. One job has been lost
but one also has been gained
the man who stocks the candy
machine.
But then he installs two, then
three, then four machines in
the school. The time comes
when you can't pay the
rent and you 60 out Of bust
ness. Now the labor force is out
Of balance because two jobs
have been lost and only one
gained.
One estimate is that 40, 00(
American workers are losing
their jobs every week because
of automation. It is a guess "a

nobody has any hard figures or

statistics would be deceiving be

Scenery Is Best
On Back Roads
From National Safety Council

From National Safety Council
To drive from one place to
another, rapidly and with a
minimum Of bother, there S
nothing like the new interstate
system of Superhighways.
But if you want a leisurely
trip with frequent halts for ex-
ploration, photography or just
plain loafing - keep away from
the turnpikes, says the National
Safety Council. They may &C.
casionally pass through o m e
nice country, but when you are
cruising along one there is no
time for enjoying the view.
The striking scenery, the more
photogenic views, and certainly
the best loafing sites, are often
found on the back roads - those
indicated by the thinnest lines
on the road map or missing
entirely from it.
Such roads should not be COM
pletely ignored by those seek
ing the different or unusual,
away from the crowds Of other
tourists.
Often local advice must b e
sought as to which back roads
and remote areas are of inter
est to a stranger. But don't de-
pend on only one source, I'M
less that source is known a n d
highly trusted.
Advice is free and almost ev-
eryone likes to give it. Not al
ways is it reliable. So solicit il
from a number of sources -
service station owners, motel op-
orators and other local resi-.
dents, even from tourists you
may meet who have already
been there.
You'll have to use your own
judgment in deciding what ad.
vice to follow, as you likely
will have collected completely
opposite opinions. What one res
ident might call "a beautiful,
scenic route" likely is consider
Cd "a miserable road you'll get
lost on by his neighbor.
Your own experience in trav-
cling in the kind Of country
you're in must play an import
ant part in making a decision.
You should not, for example, at
tempt a rugged unpaved road
in a remote mountain area until
after gaining considerable ex-
perience in mountain driving on
more heavily Travelled highways
In populated areas.
Before starting out on these
roads, be sure you have plenty
of fuel, oil, and water. In some
The chronicle., 1963-12-16

areas spare supplies of fuel and
water and recommended - In
Guiding water for drinking as
well as for your car.
Once on the back road, re-
member that you are in no
hurry. Your aim is to enjoy
the scenery; if you were in a
rush to get somewhere, you
would have taken the m a n
highway.
A safe speed on these roads
seems a snail's pace compared
with travel on the highway. The
roads often are narrow, in plac-
es wide enough for only on
car. If unpaved, the road may
be filled with potholes or large
rocks which must be lodged.
Cars tend to form caravans
on narrow roads. If you n {
yourself leading a caravan, il
is only courteous to pull OIL
the road at the earliest oppor'
tunity to let the following cars
pass. This lets them spread out
if the road permits faster trav'
ell, and you can continue sight
seeing at a leisurely pace.
When two cars meet on some
roads, it is necessary for one
to pull off the road to let the
other pass. Sometimes one cara
van must make way for anoth
er. If there is a wide spot or
your side of the road, pull int
1t at once II a car is approach
ing, even at a considerable dis
lance. Don't hope one of you car
find a widening when you are
closer together.
If you find yourself in a cara
van, keep your distance from
the car in front. While the speec
of the cars may be slow, clouds
of dust obscure vision a
hamper watching the scenery
as well as the road. Again, {

videS a place to wait while the
caravan moves on and t
dust settles.
Sharp turns in these roads are
usually unmarked, and frequent
ly there is no visibility around
the bend. Occasional crossroads
and narrow bridges appear with
out warning. Natives of the re-
gion may drive these roads al
reckless speeds, at least speeds
that would be reckless fol
strangers.
Remember to take 1t easy
with eyes wide open for both
the road and the view, anc

Senior Citizens
Can Work And

More and more of the senior
citizens in this area are finding
out that they can work and
still collect some social Securi-
ty payments, according to Je-
rome H. Drane, social security
district manager in Gulfport.
The case Of John Jones (fic-

Drane pointed out. Jones h a S
