Bonnie Phillips, who heads up the Juvenile Restitution Program in Carteret CountJ^
says volunteers are urgently needed to serve sis on-site supervisors for the program* The
idea of the program is to enable juvenile offenders to develop a greater sense of self-
worth and community pride by performing community service at selected worksites. Money
that is earned by the juvenile is used by the clerk of court to provide at least partial
recompense to victims for the damages they have suffered. It is hoped that the program
will aid in reducing crime in the community and protect society while working to redirect
the work of the juvenile offender. Those willing to contribute any number of hours per
week to the program are urged to contact Bonnie Phillips at 728-7350,
A workshop on fishprinting will be held at the Marine Resources Center on Thursday,
October 25 at 7 P#m, Scott Mair will teach participants how to make prints of fish,
shells and other objects by using the Japanese Gyotaku method. The program is free and
the public is invited. Materials will be furnished.
The listing of Joan Dawson as associate editor of Shore Line is in recognition of
work well done for the past several months. It reminds me of the first publisher for
whom I worked who was generally referred to by the staff as "that tight S-O-B,” We used
to say he was so tight that in recognition of merit and hard work he*d give you a title
instead of a raise. Unfortunately, circumstances force Shore Line to do the same thing,
Joan will receive the same stupendous salary as the editor — $1 a year,

or write? If you could not derive the comfcrl; that comes from reading your Bible? Suppose
you could not leam a little of what is going on in the world from reading your newspapers,
TEACHEIRS NEEDED magazines or books. Suppose you could not read street signs, highway
signs or advertising signs. Imagine how it would be if you had to ask
FOR ILLITERATES someone to read you your pay check.
