State employment on rise Employment in Washington State continued its seasonal climb with an advance of 3 ! ,800 from April to a mid-May total of 1,438,300. The gain was below that which occurred over the comparable period in 1974, about on par with April-May increases in 1972 and 1973, but well above growth between those months in the recession-plagued years of 1970 and 1971. Total unemployment remained relatively stable, dropping 300 to total 137,800 at mid-May. Housing scarce at WSU The housing crunch is getting so severe at Washington State University for the fall semester that university officials are pleading with students who have decided not to enroll to let them know so their housing space can be assigned to someone else. Director of Admissions Start Berry and Lee Wiggins, acting director of housing, have called upon both continuing and newly-admitted students whose plans have changed to notify the Office of Admissions or the WSU housing office. PTA favors handgun control The National PTA, during its 79th annual convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, June 14, voted to support legislation favoring handgun control. Initiated by the Illinois PTA, which proposed: "That the National PTA support legislation that will restrict the manufacture of handguns and handgun ammunition," the National FTA's legislative program committee expanded on this by further proposing: "That the National PTA support legislation which will ban the manufacture, importation, assembly or sale of the 'Saturday Night Special'," a handgun which is inexpensive, easily obtainable, and frequently involved in homicides. New post for Morley McCall Morley (Kramer) McCall was appointed director of the North Olympic Library System by the board of trustees at a special meeting on J une 17. She had been serving as acting director since the resignation of James Kirks on May 1.

Patrol graduation slated Graduation of the Washington State Patrol's 53rd cadet class has been rescheduled for noon, July 1, at the Greenwood Inn near Olympia.

Evans will address the graduates at the ceremonies, which center around a luncheon for relatives and friends. Refugee education funds promised HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger this week announced that HEW will make one-time-only grants this fall to help defray emergency costs of instructing Vietnamese and Cambodian school children in school districts enrolling high concentrations of such children. "We expect refugees' families to be dispersed widely across the nation," Secretary Weinberger said. "In those instances where concentrations develop, however, this funding opportunity will assure the refugee • school children do not become a burden on state and local school budgets." Forest practices meeting set The Forest Practices Board will meet in Olympia on Monday, June 30, to review and possibly adopt the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) on forest practices rules and regulations in the state.

Should I marry W.? Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name... How wrong Emily Dickinson was! Hope is not 'the thing with feathers'. The thing with feathers has turned out to be my nephew. I must take him to a specialist in Zurich." The above parody of a litterateur's journal from a new book entitled, "Without Feathers," scarcely needs to be identified as the work of Woody Allen, writer, actor, director, non sequitur addict, a man who insists that he wants to be "two with nature." Allen's latest collection of parodies and spun-out academic jokes now at the Shelton City Library includes a skewed treatment of psychic phenomena ("There is no question that there is an unseen world. The problem is, how far is it from midtown and how late is it open?"), ballet plots and program notes ("The overture begins with the brass in a joyous mood, while underneath, the double basses seem to be warning us, 'Don't listen to the brass. What the hell does brass know'?"), and a skeptic's version of the story of Abraham and Isaac, in which an enlightened God derides Abraham for unquestioning obedience: "It proves that some men will follow any order no matter how asinine as long as it comes from a resonant, well-modulated voice." Of the longer sketches, two are particularly memorable: "The Whore of Mensa" deals with a private eye's investigation of a ring of educated call-girls who provide literary conversation for the intellectually deprived, and "If the Impressionists had been Dentists" reworks Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo in the light of that conceit ('I took some dental X-rays this week that I thought were good. Degas saw them and was critical• He said the composition was bad. All the cavities were bunched in the .... lower left corner ). Church slates special speaker Peter,,Stroem of "~ve Thy Neighbor ministry will".iaddress the congregation o~" the Skokomish Community Chuh~h at 11 a.m. June" 29 concerning the benefits of visiting with people confined to convalescent and nursing homes which he has experienced in his ministry.
