Perky Swedish bion
visits Griffin friend
Gunilla Olausson, 20-year-old
bubbly blonde from Sweden,
visited her friend Marsha
Rifkin in Griffin before
returning to her homeland.
The two met at summer camp
near Hendersonville, N.C., this
past season. Both were on the
camp’s staff.
Miss Rifkin, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Sid Rifkin, was a unit
leader at the camp. Gunilla was
a cabin leader. A unit leader has
several cabins to look after
during the nine-week session.
Miss Rifkin, a college
graduate, said that Gunilla was
an immediate hit at camp. She
arrived late for the staff brief
ings and some of her fellow
leaders wondered if she would
be able to catch up with all the
instructions in a day.
Miss Gunilla, a teacher of
third, fourth and fifth graders in
Sweden, mastered the instruc
tions quickly and was ready
when her cabin charges
reported.
language was no problem for
the perky visitor. But she ad
mitted that the way Americans,
particularly Southerners, speak
is quite different from the
English she had heard in
England.
She and other Swedish
students are required to learn
English in school. They take it
up with other languages in
elementary and junior high

studies.
Besides visiting in England,
Miss Olausson had made trips
to Norway and Denmark.
After a few days at the North
Carolina camp, Gunilia was
throwing around such Ameri
can cliches as “just messing
around the cabin” with ease.
Sweet potatoes, squash and a
few other vegetables were new
to Miss Olausson. She soon
learned to like them at camp.
She took back a part of
America with her when she left
Sunday for her homeland. But

20 pct. of workers
employed by U.S.
By CARL W. RITTER
Copley News Service
One in every five jobs in the
U.S. economy is that of a gov
ernment worker. Government
employment as a percentage of
all employment increased from
8.8 per cent in 1929 to 20.1 per
cent in 1970. It is continuing to
rise.
This trend, coupled with the
fact that unionization of public
employes has intensified
markedly in the last few years,
makes for interesting — if un
settling — conjecture for the
taxpayers who will pay the bill
in years to come.
Fifty-two per cent of govern
ment jobholders at the federal
level are either union members
or members of quasi-union as
sociations. Twenty-six per cent
of state and local government
employes are in this category.
These percentages are up
sharply since 1960 and have
been accompanied by an in
creasing incidence of strikes.
In 1970 the latest year for which
figures are available, there
were 412 strikes involving gov
ernment-employed persons.
This compared with 142 in 1966
and 28 in 1961.
Research indicates that
unions and the threat of strikes
exert meaningful upward pres
sure on government wages and
can be expected to continue to
do so unless something signifi
cant in the picture changes.
Unionized teachers, for ex
ample, have been able to nego
tiate salaries averaging be
tween 4 and 15 per cent higher
than those paid to teachers of
equivalent training and cir
cumstances in non-unionized
districts, according to one re
searcher.
Down through history, gov
ernment jobs generally have
been viewed as more secure,
and therefore scaled at lower
pay, than comparable jobs in
private industry. This no longer
appears to apply.
Average earnings in private
industry in 1970 amounted to
$7,563. Civilian employes in
federal government averaged
$10,597, all federal employes
(including the military) aver
aged $8,175, and all employes at
the state anu local level aver
aged $7,818.
blonde
girls she had in her cabin.
One of the things she did was
to work up a skit, using Swedish
folk dances and other customs
of her country to present to
other camp groups.
She and her cabin charges
made the costumes and or
naments with the things they
could find in camp.
It was realistic, she said of the
final production.
Camp America, an organiza
tion which recruits camp
staffers for several in the U. S.,
put Miss Olausson in touch with
North Carolina outfit.
These figures are contained
in a newly released report on a
study performed by Tax
Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit
organization founded in 1937 to
engage in nonpartisan research
and public education of the fis
cal and management aspects of
government.
TFI says the transition from
civil service to unionization
among government employes
raises important new questions
of public policy, noting that col
lective bargaining approaches
often stand in sharp contrast to
procedures established under
merit systems over a long
period of years.
“Moreover,” TFI states,
"there are intrinsic differences
between government and pri
vate enterprise which raise
questions as to the suitability in
government of bargaining
principles developed in private
industry.
“Many market factors which
enter into private bargaining
encounters are typically absent
in the government situation;
the presence of civil service
systems must be taken into ac
count; and political factors, in
cluding the historic separation
of legislative and executive
branches, tend to weaken gov
ernment’s bargaining position.
There is futhermore the ques
tion of how to deal with strikes.
TFI suggests that manage
ment in government-employ
ment situations enter negotia
tions not merely to deal with
labor’s demands, but to present
as well some demands of its
own, looking carefully at work
rules, etc., with a view to
changes that might improve ef
ficiency or enhance effective
ness of a particular operation.
