Technology Is Important Job Factor In 80’s
WINSTON-SALEM - As
unemployment lines
lengthen and the future of
the economy remains un
certain, there is some good
news for workers today.
Many well-paid jobs in
America are unfilled, with
job openings in fields that
promise the greatest em

be at a premium into the
21st century, said Trulove
“As electronic and
computer technologies
become more and more
sophisticated, we will see
employees with some
technical school training in
the scientific fields doing
very well in the business
world,” said Trulove, who is
responsible for personnel
administration for the
nation’s leading tobacco
company.
Trulove estimates that by
1990, R. J. Reynolds will
double its high technology
workforce. By that year, the
company is scheduled to
open two new manufac
turing facilities and one
central distribution center
which will house the latest in
computer processes.
Many of the workers in the
facilities will be current
employees who will undergo
on-the-job training to learn
to operate the new equip
ment. Several will be
students currently enrolled
in technical school training
programs tailored to meet
the needs of Fortune 500
companies such as R. J.
Reynolds.
Still others will be today’s
toddlers who haven’t yet
distinguished their ABC’s
from their ones, twos, and
threes but who will be ex
posed to computer and
electronics training as they
grow up and gain an
education.

Trulove said that R. J.
Reynolds and its
manufacturing, research
and development and
engineering staffs work
closely with high schools,
technical schools and
colleges to ensure that
students and faculties are
aware of future and present
employment opportunities
with R. J. Reynolds if they
pursue the proper
curriculum.
“Educators are interested
in changes in tobacco
technology because their
curriculum must be com
patible with the industry’s
requirements for technical
personnel,” he said.
Trulove said education is
more important in the 1980 s
than ever before. Brains,
Cholesterol Theory Is Questioned
A national consumers
organization has cast fur
ther doubt on the widely
held theory that healthy
people can reduce the risk of
heart disease by cutting
back on the consumption of
fat and cholesterol.
Consumers Union has
concluded, in a new
examination of the diet
heart theory, that “the
safety and effectiveness of
fat-controlled diets have yet
to be proved,” and that for
this reason the group’s
medical consultants
“cannot recommend such a
dietary policy to the entire
population.”
The CU analysis was
reported in the May issue of
Consumer Reports
magazine.
Fears of a link between fat
and cholesterol and the
incidence of heart disease
have prompted many
nutritionists in recent years
to recommend reduced
consumption of meat.
Farm organizations and
the meat industry have
called such dietary
recommendations ill
founded, and have for
several years urged ad

“Years ago far more jobs
in a cigarette factory
required muscular strength
and physical labor. Today, a
majority of our operations
depend on an employee’s
ability to understand
complex equipment and to
take proper action to correct
or prevent malfunctions,”
said Trulove.
Trulove said that while
making cigarettes may be
no more difficult in the 1980 s
than was in 1913 when the
first rolled cigarette,

Reynolds production line,

finding tends to bear out
some of the industry’s
claims.
In commenting on the CU
report, National Live Stock
Meat Board President John
Huston says this and other
studies by eminent
scientist are “building a
considerable case against
dietary change for the entire
public.
“While it’s still too soon to
say for sure, it does seem
that the tide may be turning
as far as fat and cholesterol
are concerned,” Huston
said.
