Clearwater County EEA program shows workability and gains
The Emergency Employment Act program in Clearwater County is shown to work with 30 jobs created and a focus on local needs. Vietnam veterans fill 18 positions, pre-Vietnam veterans three, and non veterans nine, including six women. Professional roles include a zoning planner, a center director, and a sanitarian, with impacts on environment and county services. Recruitment of minority workers remains a challenge, with only two Indian employees among 30, but optimism persists about expansion and collaboration with state agencies.

Welfare reform delays Social Security hike before election
Senate deadlock on welfare reform stalls the Social Security increase seen by many in time for the November ballot. Finance Committee members wrestle with three welfare plans for AFDC, while a Social Security boost of 10 percent across the board and Medicare expansion loom. With debate pushing past mid July recess, leaders fear reaching the president by August is unlikely. splitting the package remains a parliamentary option as support for the plans hovers around 30 to 35 senators each.

Workfare aims for limited impact on welfare rolls
Washington reports a federal law requiring 1.5 million welfare recipients to register for work or training will have minimal effect on welfare caseloads due to high unemployment and tight budgets. About 140,000 able bodied fathers will be signed up before July 1, with hundreds of thousands more mothers added as recertifications occur. The program targets 8,000 public service jobs and 24,500 training posts, with exemptions for preschool mothers, caregivers, and full-time students. The White House seeks 250 million dollars plus 205 million for WIN, more than quadrupling prior four-year spending. Officials caution the effort will be limited but may reduce AFDC rolls gradually.

Dear Joe the Juice How to become a philosopher
HAL BOYLE offers a lighthearted guide to entering philosophy. The columnist advises the reader to avoid haste and interruptions, to shed useless knowledge, and to value the mind as the supreme instrument. He notes rich men use philosophy as consolation in illness or death and likens philosophy to a social, worldly pursuit through figures like Socrates and Jesus.

Radical wing-fuselage idea eyed for future airliners
Aviation Week reports researchers explore a straight wing mounted atop the fuselage with a central pivot. At high speeds half the wing tilts forward and half trails, aiming to cut takeoff power, avoid sonic booms over land, enable subsonic flights, and permit lower takeoff speeds for existing airports. Seven decades after the Wright brothers, learning continues.
