Final figures will not be released un til January, 1971. The latest count shows that Transylvania had 18,571 at the end of the 1970 census, as compared with 16,372 in 1960. The 11th Congressional Dis trist — 16 Western North Car olina counties, including Tran sylvania — totals show an in crease of only 2.2 percent. Joel New, Director of the United States Department of Commerce Library at Greens boro, told The Times this week that corrections have been fed into the Census Bureau’s computers but have not been processed. The Census Bureau compiles its head count in three stages— a preliminary figure, an “ad vance final" total, and a final figure. The preliminary figure does not include members of the armed forces living over seas, so “advance final” totals are almost sure to be slightly higher in virtually every town and county across the land. Final results were first ex pected to be released on De cember 31st, bnt Mr. New says it will now be about six weeks before the official fig ures will be announced.

Regulations Cited Tax Listing Begins On January 4th, Books In Townships First In Ecugta Paper "Bill" Ryan Appointed To Newly Created Position At Olin Corp. L. W. (Bill) Ryan, Jr., has been appointed to the new posi tion of assistant national man ager, publishing paper sales, for the Ecusta Paper Division of Olin Corporation. The new appointment is ex pected to provide wider geo graphic coverage of major pub lishers, printers, binderies and paper merchants, with greater emphasis on the expanded line of Ecusta lightweight printing papers introduced during the past year.

Hew much Job shifting has there been, due to automation? What proportion of working people in the local area are now in white collar occupations and what proportion in blue collar? National surreys by the gBTUffl of Labor combined with data from the Deportment of Couunerce. shod some light on the sub ject. They indicate that locally, as in most other areas, there have been many adjustments in the employment situation cally at that time, 1,571 were in white collar Jobs, the fig ures show. The rest were fas blue collar or service occupa tions or were employed on farms. Most noticable, in Transyl vania County, has been the substantial increase since then in the proportion of white col lar jobs. The rise, in the 10 year period, is estimated at 18.7 percent This was in line with the growing demand for clerical, technical and sales white ties fbr a large majority of the^ newcomers in the local Classified as blue in the government’s reports are machinists, craftsmen, construc tion workers, factory opera tives, transportation workers and the like. In Transylvania County, due to the adjustments that have taken place, It is esti mated that white collar work ers now constitute approxi mately 36 percent of the local labor force. The finding is that the pay scale of the average unionized blue collar worker has been rising much faster lately than that of the white collar worker. As a result, the big differ ence in spending potential and living standards that once distinguished the two from LeMoyne College, Syra cuse, N. Y., and before joining Olin, had extensive sales and sales management experience in paper and other fields. A native of Rochester, New York, Mr. Ryan served for four years as a pilot with the U. S. Navy during the Korean con flict. He is married to the former Kay Hally of Pittsford* New York. The Ryans and their eight children presently re side in Ravenwood at Flat Rock.
