Leaving for the Job Corps is John Clyde Daniel of Cooleemee. Giving him the
bus tickets is Mrs. Mildred H. Foster, Office Head of the Davie County Commun
ity Action Program, with offices in the Davie County Office Building.
Davie Youth Leaves For Job Corps
John Clyde Daniels of Coo
leemee left Wednesday, Jan
uary 25th for Oconaluftee Job
Corps Center in Cherokee, N.
C.
This boy has many special
problems which the Job Corps
is going to try to help him
work out. He dropped out
of school when he was in
the sixth grade, has never
held a steady job, nor been
trained to do any particular
j*b.
At the Job Corps Center,
JibHn will be tested and coun
seled to determine what type
of 1 work to choose for an oc
cupation. He will be exposed
.to a number of jobs within
his ability range and will se
lect the one he feels is right
for him. The Job Corps will
then see that he gets the
training he needs to learn
the trade he chooses.
As a school drop-out, John
is beginning to realize the im
portance of a good education.
At this time John is a non
reader, but, the Job Corps
will help him learn to read
and improve his mathemati
cal ability in practical prob
lems. He will attend classes
one week and work to get
on-the-job training the next
week.
The Job Corps is a lot of
Work, but it's work load is
forgotten when the boys get
together to practice football,
basketball, or baseball. They
' often compete against other
Job Corps Centers for tro
phies.
The Job Corps is a whole
new horizion for John, an op
portunity to realize the vast
ness of the world and the
part he can play in it.

foriegisiitioii To Help Davie
Families To Obtain Better Honsieg
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture's Farmers Home
Administration is better eq
uipped to handle the housing
credit needs of low and mod
erate income Davie families
as a result of legislation re
cently signed into law, accord
ing to Clarence Sink, Far
mers Home Administration
county supervisor
Sink said the Demonstration
Cities and Metropolitan De
velopment Act, signed last
month by President Johnson,
makes it poMlble for a broad
er range of Davie County fa
milies to qualify for housing
credit under expanded hous
ing loan authorities of the
Farmers Home Administration
The new legislation, Sink
continued, makes more mort
gage credit available to low
and moderate income families
in Davie County by increas
ing ihe level of activity ai
the agency's rural housing
loan program.
Here are some of the other
changes in the rural housing
loan program administered by
Davie County Farmers Home
Administration:
—'Many Davie County fami
lies who had to go the long
route of planning, contract
ing and building a house can
now buy newly constructed
buildings. Before the new leg
islation, these families could
only purchase previously oc
cupied buildings.
—Qualified low-income fa
milies can now obtain hous
ing credit from Farmers
Home Administration on the
basis of a cosigner. Previously,
only those rural persons 02
years and older qualified for
this assistance.
—The new legislation in
creases from SI,OOO to $1,500
the maximum amount of assis
tance the agency can make
[ for emergency repairs or im
provements to owner-occupied
rural housing or farm service
buildings. Thil credit is not
designed to upgrade a build
ing but only to remove ha
zards to the health and the
safety of the family and the
community.
—Rural families on the
verge of losing their homes
through foreclosure may save
their homes if a sound basis
can be developed by the Farm
ers Home Administration to
refinance their debts.
—Financial assitance can be
£'ven to construct rental hous
