The traditional American coffee break is pricing
itself out of existence. It is not the cost of the cup of
coffee, but of the time lost taking it.
An industry statistician figures that to the 10-cent
cost of the coffee must be added $1 for the time lost
during the break, making the cup actually cost $1.10,
too much for cost-conscious industry. The more this
is realized, the quicker the break will go the way of

HUNDREDS OF business houses and industries send
representatives to Denton each year to interview grad-
uating students at NTSC and TWU for possible em-
ployment.
This, of course, is nothing new. But something
being talked in many campus placement offices these
days is a new emphasis many employers are placing
on prospective employes.
The interviewers always are interested in students
who have special abilities and are able to get along
with people. This year they are looking for what a
university publication calls an “important extra.” They
are demanding that job applicants know how to speak
and write the English language effectively. Too often
in the past the applicant has turned out to be a person
woefully deficient in the art of communicating in his
native language.
This is a development that should be pondered by
every high school boy and girl who plans to enter col-
lege’ It is something parents would be wise to con-
sider. Employers are looking for young people who
can move up in their organizations, and those who
haven’t learned to speak and write correctly are not
likely to reach the management level in jobs.
The firms are showing a disposition to bypass them
for more likely candidates. Boys and girls unable to.

This presidential election vear
finds America’s teen-agers keen-
ly interested in politics—but not
as a career.
Poling 727 young people on
their political views, we found
they have definite opinions, even
though they’re not yet old enough
to vote, and that they figure, like
their elders, that Nixon is the
man to beat for President.
The poll turned up a sharp con-
trast between interest in politics
and plans for actual participation.
Some 90 per cent of the young
people say they are looking for-
ward to casting their first ballot.
But only four per cent ever ex-
pect to run for political office.
Most of the girls feel women do
not belong in the field. Most of
the boys have already chosen an-
other profession, or feel they are
not suited to political life.

Kathy Ker, 15, of Cincinnati, is
typical in saying. "I want my

try.” •
* While waiting for the vote, young
people are definitely interested in
following the big news of the 1960
political conventions and election.
Fifteen per cent say they’ll follow
the news in great detail, 33 per
cent in moderate detail and 29 per
cent will do so “to some extent.”
Betty Bromley, 14, of Chicago,
says, “You educate yourself for

ne Dion, 16, of Hartford, Conn.,
puts it this way: "I find these
events interesting, and I think ev-
eryone, no matter how old, should

KENNEDY’S YOUTH
We asked the teen-agers their
choices for president and vice
president in the 1960 election. Sen.
John Kennedy of Massachusetts
was named by 24 per cent of the
Democratic teen-agers as their
presidential favorite.
Adlal Stevenson was runerup
with 12 per cent and Stuart Sym-
ington third with 4 per cent. The
same lineup stood for Democratic
vice presidential choices. Some 59
per cent of the youngsters declin-
ed to name a choice.
Sandy Aronsohn. 15, of Dalton,
Pa., says Kennedy’s youth puts
him "more in touch with Ameri-

Second, all of the evidence points
to a continuation of the relatively
greater growth during the 1960s
in the professional, manageri-

By SEYMOUR L. WOLFBEIN
Deputy Ass’t. Secretary of Labor
The 1960s will see an unprece-
dented rise in the number of work-
ers in the United States. The gov-
ernment looks for an increase of
13Vi million in the labor force be-
tween 1960 and 1970.
However, the big story is not
so much in the. sheer size of the
increase, substantial as it is, but
who the 13% million will be.
About 50 per cent of the new
workers will be people under 25
and about 40 per cent will be 45
and older. The remaining 10 per
cent will be between 25 and 34
years of age. There actually will
be a decline in the number of
workers between 35 and 44.
Because nearly all the new work-
ers will be at the younger and old-
er ends of the age scale, our in-
terest in these groups has increas-
ed.
And a good part of this Interest
is focused on what will happen
in the 1960s to people 65 years
of age and over, those who have
reached what is often called the
"conventional” age of retirement.
How many of them will be work-
ing? At what will they be work-
ing?
Five Important points can be
made about the outlook for em-
ployment’ among people 65 and
over in the next dcade:
11c and private pension plans, only
one out of every three of the men
65 years and over is a worker.
There is nothing in the offing
or the next 10 years which would
reverse this trend.
As a result, we expect the per-
cent of these men in the labor
force to decline further — to a lit- i in civil rights may seem snail-slow
