"Of course, we couldn't have survived if we were not dependable and did quality work," Mrs. Hamlin aded. She was a teacher before starting the business as was her husband. However the business grew so that he left teaching to work full time at the floral sho and built behind their then-home at 1440 North Cherry Street.

"No one is - guaranteed a position~m Ihe program each year, because poverty is the first consideration." Each agency employing the youth will have different programs. The Experiment in Self Reliance will be working with high school students, dropouts, and college students.

The program at Winston-Salem State ? will be for college students who are residents of Forsyth County and attend college. They will have 100 students who will receive classroom training and course credit as well as work experience. The students employed through the school system are placed in jobs where _ they will receive training and counseling _ in job related areas. Students wishing to apply for the program can make an application at the Youth Services Center on Patterson Avenue. Volunteer jobs will also'be available through the American Red Cross Youth Services. "By volunteering, you can receive much more for your work than when you get paid," said Donna Dismuke, the director of Youth Services.

The Red Cross works with hospitals, convalescent centers and child carp centers placing volunteers. Volunteers work from a half day to a full day and are responsible for their own transportation, to and from their place of work. "Our volunteers can learn a lot from the people they meet and the places they work," Sismuke said. "They learn new skills which is valuable work experience for when they seek employment." Dismuke said applications are being made now and that anyone wishing to volunteer should go through the Red Cross's Youth Services and not contact the serving agency. A student wishing to volunteer should have completed the seventh grade or older. Summer jobs may also be found through some of the industries in the ? city. R.J.

Hanes Hosiery will be hiring summer employees but they do not have a special program set aside "for high school students.
