"We try to get people to see that there are new ways to do things." "WE TRY to bring new alternatives to public officials and the people, to see how the future can work for us and what we'd like to see in the future." The topics of work and play were presented to a small crowd by representatives of business, technical education, civic and governmental recreation deDartments and the state Development Board. Michael Stone, manager of business systems for the R.L. Bryan Company, opened the discussion with an audiovisual presentation. I "We need to avoid being deluded by statistics that say things will last forever and never change," he said. "Technical change occurs quicker than social change." STONE SAID there is a growing gap between functional illiteracy and entry-level job skills. While the percentage of functional illiterates stayed about the same, the skills required for many entry level jobs have increased because of computers and other automation. \ \ "The 21st century has to be more process-oriented; the | " 20th century is too content-oriented, having it all in one I 1 package," he said. The creative growth and job opportunities are with the private entrepeneur because automation will shrink the mundane jobs of big business and industry, said Robert Leak of the S.C. Development Board. The development board is working on a "new track" in conjunction with USC researchers and others, he said. One of the ideas for the future is an information center with a buyer-supplier computer system that will identify and locate new markets for services and products. THE FUNCTION of the development board is to help job creation in South Carolina as a favorable place to establish industry and business. Carl Must, director of the Division of Recreation of the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, said there is a need to educate officials, legislatures and people ! about work and play. He called for "more contractual agreements between levels of government and the populace in order to get the entrepeneurs who will do the work better and cheaper." t year's election j 4'As a national policy, the president has Lvsis been opposed to more taxes," Mulhern said.
