According, to figures released education electives
the Texas Education Agency,
4,1>90 students were enrolled last
year in Vocational Office Edu-

high school students, 2,462 Jun-

while the junior college program
is only reimbursed 75 per cent,
with the college furnishing the
other 25 per cent. In the 1965-

to mget the labor market needs
for this particular occupational
category: This statistical infor-
mation is based upon 240 . occu-
pational Surveys conducted by
local schools in cooperation with
the Texas Education Agency
under the supervision of Joe B.
Neely, director of Vocational
Program Development.
These surveys were used to
project the number of VOE stu-
dents who will be needed in the
years ahead. In 1967,40,516 grad-
uates will be needed; 46,747, in
1968 ; 54,354, 1969; and 63,645,
1970 — for a combined total of
205,262 persons with this kind of
educational background.
Everett W. Fuller, director of
Vocational Office Education at
the Texas Education Agency,
points out the rapid growth in
office occupations as indicated
by the statistics available from
the United States Department of
Labor. Between 1900 and 1950, of-
fice occupations were up 750 per
nd'l975
cent; and between 1960 and’
they lre expe'cted to climb 45
per cent. ......•
Of the program, Fuller com-
ments:
"It’s an easjy program to. fti-
terest students in and employers
irtTMrWg anwents for part-time
work during tlie afternoons.” 2
Students, who must be seniors
for the high school program of
VOE have thre.e routes from
which to further their careers
as-office wokers. They are (1)
bookkeeper and office machine
operator, (21 stenographer, and
(3) general office clerk.
The students are also encourag-
ed, to include as many business
in their high school program
law, business arithmetic, busi-
ness organisation and manage-
ment, and salesmanship,
Fuller reports that such basic
office skills ns typing, shorthand
and bookkeeping have been
available for many years in Tex
as high schools. However, none
of these high school business
programs gave the young people
the opportunity to put their

Six Injured In
Three-Car Crash
On West Texas
Six people were Injured In a
three-car collision at 9:05 p.m.
Saturday on V.est Texas near
the Jones Street Intersection.
According to the Baytown Po-
lice, none of the injuries ap-
peared to be,,serious.
The chain reaction started
when the first car, driven by
Bob Allen Sanders of Orange,
hit the rear of a car driven by
SWrtm. Beatrice Bailey of Deer
Park, which in turn hit the rear
of a car driven by Do Weather
ly ’Robbins of 312 Neaf in Bay
ticipating schools. By the next
school year, 55 schools included
g|r..,cmxjqi-. drive, in
______ At the present time, 138
schools througliout the State ope
rate the program. ,
In effect, the Vocational Office
Education program grew out of
the need foy, office workers who
are especially trained for certain
positions that are not being tak-
en care of by other vocational
education programs
How is Vocational Office edu-
cation (VOE) faring in the labor
market?
Academically, VOE provides
instruction specifically related
to the work assignment in which
they spend approximately* 525
hours in a supervised and co-
ordinated “work experience.”■
As to that experience, it is
characterized bj diversity. For
example, in Austin, the places
of employment for these VOE
students include the Austin
State School, the Texas Highway
Department, the University ot
Texas Research and Develop-
ment Center, a decorating
firm, and a vending machine
firm -
Financially; the pay scale va-
ries from $0.60 to 33.13, accord-
ing to Fuller,
One Central Texas VOE
teacher observes that it takes
average of 10, visits to the
employers in her school area to
secure each of the jobs her
students need to put their office
work into practical application.

placed by the first of Octo-

At the same meeting, th
board of directors approved i
revamped community develop
ment program that may allevi-
ate some of the criticism direct-
ed toward the EOO staff.
Under the new plan, the EOC
staff would continue its work of
studying poverty areas and
working with the people there in
organized efforts to solve their
problems, but the staff would
also be directed to consult with
individuals and to direct them
to services already available in
ihe community. -
Under existing guidelines, the
EOO staff apparently has not
been directed to work with exist-
ing agencies,

and is operating the hugest am-

due to financial arrangements,
he has been unable to give the

will be able to lower the price
on each call. Due to the limited
funds, our community has had
two very tragic incidents. This
can be eliminated and must be.
If the city takes over the aril,

taxpayers of Baytown approxi-

figuces, It has been proven in
ether cities that it is a tremen-
dous savings to contract this ser-
vice to a private operator.
If the city continues with the
Belfort Ambulance firm, it will
cost the city 345;600 a! year. I
feel the industries will contract
and contribute revenue to make
profitable for this company
to operate as soon as it is deter-
mined who will operate the ser-
vice. This must be settled. This
will be a saving to the city of
