Workers in 45 to 65 Age Bracket Find Jobs More Easily Than Before Workers in the 45 to 65 age bracket are finding jobs more easily than they did several years ago, the National Association of Manufacturers said today. In a special report on "Employment of Mature Workers," the NAM said spot surveys in several parts of the nation have shown that the number of older workers employed have increased strikingly faster than the number available. "The practice of analyzing the requirements of specific jobs and matching them with the best qualified applicant has worked to increase the employment opportunities of the mature. Testing has shown that 40 per cent of workers over 45 can outproduce younger workers, even to the age of 65." For many years it had been generally believed that the high cost of providing pensions has deterred employers from hiring people over 45. The NAM recently queried 70 leading companies, asking "If you have a pension plan, does it affect your employment of those over 45?" The answers showed: Fifty-eight per cent of employers declared that age did not affect employment of qualified workers. Thirty per cent said they could not include anyone in their pension plans until he had been employed five to ten years. The rest said they did not discriminate against hiring older workers, but did not include them in pension plans. Some compensated for thihs with a separation allowance. NAM's report showed the pension issue is diminishing in importance for several reasons. Social Security benefits have been increased; more employees have established their own insurance and annuity protection; many employees have retained pension rights from former jobs. Further, companies have found that including older workers in pension plans less costly than anticipated. Group life insurance costs were found to average only a cent a hour more for a 50-year-old worker, than for a 30-year-old; the lower accident rate of older workers reflects favorably in the charges for workmen's compensation insurance.

P.T.A.’s Seek New Members In The U.S. — And Overseas When in Rome—or Oslo or Athens, Fontainebleau or Karlsruhe, Addis Ababa or Reykjavik—American parents and teachers do just about as they do at home: they form a P.T.A. More than 42,000 P.T.A. members in the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers this fall will join in the annual October Membership Month of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Like their nearly 12 million counterparts on U.S. soil, these P.T.A. members who live overseas—from Iceland to the Middle East, most of them on Amer- ents and teachers do just about as they do at home: they form a P.T.A. More than 42,000 P.T.A. members in the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers this fall will join in the annual October Membership Month of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Like their nearly 12 million counterparts on U.S. soil, these P.T.A. members who live overseas—from Iceland to the Middle East, most of them on American military bases—will encourage others to "serve where you are: join the P.T.A." Serving the welfare of American children, wherever they are growing up, is the primary object of the National Congress. It has brought the P.T.A. into many areas of activity during its 63-year history. Since formation of the European branch in 1958, these activities have taken on new flavor: A European program of scholarships, similar to those provided by many state congresses in the United States, this year awarded $500 against tuition to American colleges for seven students; they were graduates of American overseas schools in Nugasseur, Morocco; Stuttgart, Berlin, Bitburg, and Heidelberg, Germany; and Vienna, Italy. Concerned, like other P.T.A.'s, with the interests of mentally and physically handicapped children, the European Congress has initiated a program of special class instruction for these youngsters, providing the funds for additional teacher assistants, helpers, and materials to be used in some 20 schools. Foreign language education, a natural interest for children whose parents are assigned overseas, has been a major interest of P.T.A.'s in the European Congress. In Air Force schools, extending from Oslo to Libya and from the British Isles to Saudi Arabia, children in grades 3 through 8 are taking classes in foreign language this year. Adult education programs of the P.T.A., which in the U.S. The midst of Europe's Bavarian Alps—it's a P.T.A. meeting. Mrs. James C. Parker, president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, confers with Fred L. Miller, coordinator for P.T.A.'s in the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers, during conference in Berchtesgaden, Germany. Some 140 parent-teacher associations in Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East will join this fall in programs to enroll more than 12,000,000 parents, teachers, and friends of children as P.T.A. members. Usually take the form of study/discussion groups, may become adult self-education in overseas areas, where American military government or civilian members of P.T.A.'s take advantage of opportunities for learning the language of the country and for studying its cultural assets. As these P.T.A. members, both teachers and parents, return from overseas assignments, they bring broader understanding of other countries to their state-side colleagues. This is one great contribution our European members can make," says Mrs. James C. Parker, of Grand Rapids, Mich., president of the National Congress when she attended their convention last April. "Overseas P.T.A.'s," she points out, "bring to American boys and girls living in other parts of the world some of the home and school experiences they would be enjoying if they lived in the United States. "The richest result is the relationship between parents and teachers; there is a closer relationship in a foreign environment, because they have so many unusual experiences in common." The National Congress has always recognized, she says, "that great differences exist among the states and communities"—and still greater ones in overseas communities. But the National Congress program "always allows abundant room for choice" of projects for local P.T.A.'s, serving "as a bank or library of ideas from which the local unit draws to cult its needs." In its membership programs this October, the P.T.A. card will become "a passport to the best society on earth," says Mrs. Parker, "an organization working in hundreds of ways to create a better world, working for the welfare of all children—for the handicapped, the gifted, the migrant, the delinquent, the average, for all children whether they live in cities, suburbs, rural areas, or on military bases abroad—an organization that cares about the homes children live in; the schools they are taught in; and the neighborhoods they grow up in."

Al Terrence Carpet Company Remodels Anaheim Store A modernization event is now taking place at Al Terrence Carpet Company, 510 W. Center St. at Palm in Anaheim.
