Need For More Scientists,

WASHINGTON-Reports to the
Department of Labor from 30 ma
jor manpower centers across the
U. S. show a drastic need for
trained scientists, technicians,
and engineers to maintain the
present levels of economic
growth.
The current issue of the La
bor Department’s “Job Market
for Engineers, Scientists, Tech
nicians’’ says that the number of
chemists, physicists, life scien
tists, and mathematicians must
be doubled by 1975 and the num
ber of employed engineers must
be Increased by at least two
thlrds.
Among those cities In the study
showing drastic needs for scien
tific personnel are Boston, where
area employers were hard
pressed to add the engineers and
scientists to keep pace with in
dustry expansion, research and
development growth; Philadel
phia, where a strong demand ex
ists for electrical electronic and
mechanical engineers; Pittsburg,
where job listings outnumbered
applications by two to one.
Also, Detroit, where mechan
ical and industrial specialists are
needed; Cincinnati, where a de
mand exists for ail types of en
gineers; Chicago, where mechan
ical engineers are needed; Kan
sas City, where the greatest de
mand for engineers was In the

employers are seeking young
applicants with emphasis on re
cent degrees rather than exper
ience; and San Francisco, where
most job openings specified sen
ior level engineers with highly
specialized experience.
Growing problems of urban
and Industrial health, the pub
lication stated, are seriously
stepping up the demand for san
itary and safety engineers with
degrees and experience directly
applicable to public health pro
grams.
State employment security
agencies indicated in the report
that most employers continued
to offer preference to recent en
gineering college graduates over
those who received their degrees
several years ago.
Continuing expansion of med
ical facilities and services in
1967 was accompanied by ever in
creasing needs for medical tech
nologists and laboratory assist
ants, occupations in short supply
throughout the country.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
MOSQUITOES
The season for mosquitoes is
once more here. Calls come in
daily to the Newton County Heal
th Department for information
as to what to do. Others call
to advise the health department
what we should do. While we
would like to be able to satisfy
all, there are no funds, equip
ment or personnel available for
us to do anything officially.
Therefore, let us advise you
what you can do.
Empty water cans, tires, dis
carded washing machines, and
any items that may retain water.
In fish ponds weeds and trash
should be removed that breaks
the waterline. Keep grass and
weeds along edges or banks cut
close. Eliminate all areas of
very shallow water.
In shaded and /or damp areas
such as beds of shrubbery or
the like, spray with lindane or
malathion. In water without fish
a malathion solution may be used
for the killing of the larvae.
When mosquitoes get into ones
home or other closed area, the
use of pyrethrum or allethrin
(sold under various trade names
in aerosol spray can) can be
safely used. If mosquitoes are
troublesome in ones house, a
check should be made of all
vases of flowers or other con
tainers that may be allowing them
to breed right under ones nose.
Also open fireplaces frequently
become points of harborage for
the adult mosquito. The health
department does not have any
literature available, but for those
that would like to read more about
this pest, information is avail
able at the County Agents Office.
