Schenck Job Corpsmen Said
Fine Asset To The Community
Since the Spring of 1965
the Job Corps Program In
North Carolina has contribut
ed significantly to the de
velopment of the National
Forests in North Carolina.
Their efforts can be seen by
visitors to the Pisgah Ranger
District along Hwy. 276. A visit
to this scenic drive is made a
more memorable experience be
cause of the work done at the
Cradle of Forestry in America,
White Pines, Coontree and Sun
burst Recreation Areas by
corpsmen at Schenck Civilian
Conservation Center.
Improvements to group
camping areas nsed by Boy
and Girl Scouts, show the
handiwork of these young
men.
The communities surround
ing the Civilian Conservation
Renters near Brevard and
^Franklin have benefited from
numerous community better
ment projects done by volun
teers from the two centers.
These young men are learn
ing a skill that will prepare
them for a more productive
place in society. Another ex
ample of their work will soon
he available when the new
Ranger Office for the Pisgah
Ranger District is completed
next year. Also a new 180
unit campground on the
When you think of prescrip
tions, think of VARNER’S, adv.
Davidson River is under con
struction, and will open In
the near future. These are
examples of benefits the pub
lic receives from projects
that are used to train these
young men to be productive
citizens.
These young people have pro
vided another contribution that
few people will see. They have
spent hours battling hazardous
forest fires. This past spring is
a good example of the volume
of resource saving effort spent.
Nineteen forest fires were
fought. One of these was in Vir
ginia where the crew was sent
to help on a large and very dis
astrous fire.
It is not by chance these
young men were utilized to
this degree. In recent years a
shortage of manpower to
fight fires in Western North
Carolina has created a severe
situation. The Corpsmen are
physically fit and in good fire
fighting condition. Their
eagerness and energy have
provided welcome relief to
many a weary fire boss. Each
firefighter has a minimum of
40 hours training before as
signed to a serious fire situ
ation. They are accompanied
by seasoned veterans as crew
bosses and overhead.

Lionel Lewis is
a health physicist.
He works for you.
His job is to make certain that our new
nuclear-electric generating stations are safe
—for our personnel, for the public, and for
our environment.
And he's highly qualified to do the job.
Only one out of six health physicists has risen
to "certified" status. Lionel Lewis, who has
been working with nuclear power for 17
years, has achieved that distinction.
As a member of Duke Power's staff,
Lionel works closely with our engineers in the
design, construction, and operation of our nu
clear plants. He is involved with monitoring
the radiation levels of the plant and compo
nents (suchasthenuclear fuel assembly in the
photo above). He also makes other extensive
studies including the natural radiation that al
readyexistsintheair, water, vegetation, earth
and even wild animals near our plant sites. (
The goal of our scientists: the most effi
cient operation with uncompromising total
safety. As a result of their efforts, the radi
ation from our nuclear plants will be much
less than from an ordinary TV set. And this is
only a small fraction of the amount deter
mined to be safe by the International Com
mission on Radiological Protection.
Duke Power's team of environmental
scientistsare making sure we stay good neigh
bors—to you and to Mother Nature.
