The W.A.M.Y. Manpower program has compiled the following ex planation of what a job record consists of and why it is im - portant* A job record is everything concerning your relationship 'to the jobs you have had. It is something that can be used by employers to determine what kind of worker you are, how long you have stayed with previous jobs, what is your ability, how you get along with others, or anything else an employer might be interes ted in knowing about a future employeie. A good job record is also important because of the pre sent high rate of unemploy - . meat. Employers are flooded with applications for every job opening. A quick look at your application can deter mine if you would be a desir able or undesirable employee. If you have a habit of moving frorij job to job, have been unemployed for a long time, or if you make a practice of not doing a good job, you will be considered undesirable. Your past job record may be the determining factor inwhe ther or not you get another job. As long as there are unem ployed people with better job records than yours, your bad job record will almost certain ly deprive you of a second chance. Anyone in the United States may get a rating on you simp ly by calling the Employment Security Commission represen ting the area you have lived and worked in. The fact that a bad j ob record will follow you anywhere you go makes maintaining a good record extremely important. PAGE 12 BOOK CORNER ; Mrs. GMys^g||||^ Charlotte, Carolina's Queen Charlotte. Carolina* Queen City by Kenneth Frederick & Blanche Marsh. 1967. Pp.201.R.L. Bryan Co., Columbia, S. C. From Rags To Riches could easily be a sub-title for the book, Charlotte. Caro - linas 1 Queen City, by Kenneth Frederick and Blanche Marsh. Basing their conclusions on a series of circumstances,events and personalities, the authors present in dramatic form >a pictorial study with historic highlights. A few readers may feel at the conclusion of the story that the city of Charlotte just happened to be 'lucky" - - lucky to be settled by- enter-. > prising Scotch- Irish colonists who could seize an opportuni ty to become the courthouse town of the county; lucky in that the settlement was the cen ter of an Indian trader trail to Charleston which in later years would outline the route for a great interstate Highway; luchy in that the timely inven - tion of the cotton gin transfor med the economy of the coun ty from general farming to cotton growing; lucky in that the discovery of gold caused the town to become the gold’ - mi ning center of the country un til 1848; lucky in that the coming of the railroads spark ed commerce and industry; Permit Needed For Gorge Persons visiting theLinville Gorge Wilderness on the Pis ■gah National Forest this year will find things a little differ ent. Each hiker into the Gorge will need to fill out a permit after May 26, Supervisor Del Thorsen of the National For ests in North Carolina said today. Thorsen said increasing use of Lirrville Gorge lad made the permit system necessary in order to give the Forest Serviae a better idea of the amount Os use and its impact on the Wil derness. The Wilderness Act of 1964 calls for "outstanding opportunities for solitude" as well as provision of a commu nity of life largely unaffected by man's activities. Today's increasing use of Linville Gorge makes it increasingly difficult for the Forest Service to meet these objectives. Until recent times, Wilder ness actually required little manage ment because it was little used. Bui: with continu al acceleration in use, the same ideals that made the W ildemess Act necessary re quire the application of new ideas to prevent its deteriara - tion. Moreover, management techniques are not the easiest or cheapest in the Wilderness. All jobs must be accomplished on foot and with hand tools be cause all motorized equipment including trail bikes and scoot ers is prohibited. Thorsen in short we ifiust establish stan dards for wilderness carrying capacity and apply these stan dards in our management po licies. There are two Wilderness Areas in North Carolina-- Lin ville Gqrge and Shining Rock both on the Pisgah National For est. ' The permit system will apply only to the Linville Gcsgj Area as a pilot project this year and other areas will be added as necessary. Permits, which are ft ee, will be issued at self-service stations along each trail about 1/4 mile inside the Wilderness Area, and at the District Ran ger's Office in Marion. Wil derness visiters who do not se cure a permit will be subject to citation before a U. S. Mag istrate where they may be fin- * ed if found guilty. THE YANCEY IQU.xeUtL lucky in that the town became the location of a branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich mond; and very lucky in that the city's own Cameron Morri son was elected State Gover - xx* in 1921 t» further the pro gram of good roads. But the best luck of all was that Char lotte produced sons of such calibre and vision as (to men tion a few> Thomas Polk, James K. Polk, William Alex ander (along with several ether Alexanders), John Davidson, James A. Jones, the Belk bro thers, J. B. Ivey, William T. Harris, Thomas M. Bam hardt, Willis F. Dowd, Phillip L. Lance, "Billy" Graham, and many others. Byway of explanation, since it is com monly agreed that, as a rule, one makes one's own luck, we doubt the validity of ascribixg the success of Charlotte to just sheer luck. In describing the Charlotte of the 1960's perhaps Mayor Stanford R. Brookshire in 1967 summed it up best by saying that the city iss "Large enough to be cosmopolitan, small enough to be friendly, old enough to possess rich pradi - dons, young enough to be strorg and vibrant, rich enough to be generous, poor enough to embrace hard work, and with all, possessing a heart and con science that embraces the needs and interests of all of its citi zens. " Thorsen said the permitwall help answer a basic problem in wilderness management which is lack of accurate knowledge about the use each area is re ceiving. The information will enable the Forest Service to learn more about the number of visitors, number of persons in each party, length of stay, point of entry and where the visit will end and other thing? that will help in making ma nagement decisions. A Wilderness visit is a spe cial type of experience, Thon sen said, and the future of W ilderness depends on those who use it. He said the Forest Service wants to see that such areas are kept in a primitive setting for the benefit of not only today's visitors but for future generations as well. Ms. Harper Has Good Chance Political polls indicate that Margaret Harper of South port has an excellent chance to be involved in the second primary contest for the Demo cratic nomination for Lt. Gov ernor. "One poll shows that I am running second, " Mrs. Harper said this week, ” and another shows the three top candidates for this office to be within ore percentage point of each other. Mis. Harper, who has waged a vigorous campaign which has kept her on the go every day for the pastlOweek% says that "if . the women fail to elect another woman this year it will be their own fault. Far the first lime In history we have a lot of help from the men. " Mrs. Harper *ays that she has been both surprised and pleased at the source of some of this masculine support. "During the past few days 1 have had numerous veterans of political activity in the De -0 mocratic party say it will be a healthy think to have a wo man on the bajjlot in the Gen eral Election this fall. Mrs. Harper says that the word politics no longer is un mentionable in organized wo-* man's groups which formerly felt this was not an area fat their concern. '_ * { MAY 4, 1972
