DURKIN SAYS
Job Outlook Brilliant
For This Year's Graduates
"It has become a spring custom for the Secretary of Labor
to advise college seniors of the job opportunities which await
them upon completion of their collegiate work, reminds US
Labor Secretary, Martin P. Durkin in presenting an over-all
employment outlook for 1953 college graduates.
"Since the economy of the United
States is now operating at record-
breaking levels, job out-look is ex-
cellent this year. Common sense
dictates, however, that the gradu-
ating senior learn as much as he
can about where the immediate and
long-range opportunities lie—in
what industries, what occupations,
and what sections of the country,"
he adds.
Opportunities in engineering are
excellent for both new graduates
and experienced men and women,
according to the Labor Department
bulletin. During the build-up stage
of the present defense program,
demand for engineers rose spectac-
ularly; over the forthcoming period
of mobilization an average of 30,-
000 new engineers a year will be
needed. As engineering graduates
have been declining in number since
1950 and Selective Service policies
continue, there will be shortage of
engineers probably for a number
of years.
Chemical, electrical, and mechani-
cal engineers will continue to find
employment mainly in manufactur-
ing industries, while federal, «tate,
and local governments will employ
the largest number of civil engin-
eers.
Greatest needs for physicists and
chemists at the present are for
those of advanced training, but
those with only bachelor's degrees
will find numerous opportunities.
Opportunities for employment are
to be found in private industry,
government, and educational insti-
tutions* with a 1951 median income
for physicists at about $6,000 and
chemists at about $5,000. Pay for
those in private industry or with
advanced degrees-is higher on the
average.
Demand for elementary and high
;-.chjol teachers is constantlyris-
ing as are salaries. Average salar- .
ies f.-r all US classroom teachers j
is a -Hit $3,400 at present with i
wage levels in some parts of the j
count' y much higher. !
Industry is actively recruiting j
college trained graduates in busi- I
ness administration, both those
trained in management and in spe-
cial business techniques with those
having leadership qualities and spe-
cial skills having the best potential-
ities for executive positions. Ac-
countants both for industry in gen-
eral and special public accounting
firms are highly in demand with
CPA licenses most sought after.
Opportunities in social service
and health fields are high for those
with special training.
In closing Durkin is hopeful "that
seniors will**speedily find.employ-
ment where they can best utilize
their skills and contribute most to
the society that made possible thejr
education."

ON BRIDGE
The SYC system came through
again last Friday night. Lynn Yar-
brough and Shirlee Motter coasted
to an easy first place North-South,
followed at a distance by Jim Ellis
and Dick Sutton. Harry Clampett
and Alvin Smith were edged out by
Paul Mengden and Tony Vail for
first place East-West.
One interesting hand from the
tournament is as follows:
S——A 10 x x x
H—K J x
D—A x
C—J x x
S—J 9 8 x x x S
H—9 H—A Q 10 x x
D—7 xxx D—K x

Both sides are vulnerable. The

(1) A very poor psyche. It will
get the bidder into trouble 99% of.
the time.
(2) Designed to slow the oppon-
ents down. If doubles, wilt. start
running, planning to end up at 2
spades or any undoubted contract
along the way.
(3) Passing up opportunity to
make what appears a profitable
penalty double.
(4) Cue bid, showing first round
control of spades, and forcing to
game.
(5) Very poor bid, a result of
left-handed thinking by West.
(6) Passing up sure profit, giv-
ing opponents another chance.
(7) While drawing out revolver.
(8) Almost as bad as the man
who had to show a preference for
two voids at the seven level. Obvi-
ous choice.
(9) Still thinking his partner has
an opening bad.

You know, yourself, you smoke for enjoyment.
And you get enjoyment only from the taste of a
cigarette.
Luckies taste better—cleaner, fresher, smoother!
Why? Luckies are made better to taste better. And,
what's more, Luckies are made of fine tobacco.
