Older Workers Week: Proclamation ■ I During this bicentennial year Americans have been reflecting upon the contributions citizens through the years have made to this country. We need also to think about a group of Americans who have made a contribution and can still make even greater contributions-given the opportunity. There are 74 million Americans 40 years of age or older. They have worked hard to get where they are today, and get us as a community and nation where we are. During their years of work they have learned a great deal, gained invaluable experience and have come to appreciate a good job and to be proud of doing a good job. Many of these people, though, are having difficulty finding work for no reason other than that there is a prejudice against older workers. - The Federal Government is now working to eliminate this unfounded discrimination against older workers. NOW, THEREFORE, I. Robert Helmle, Mayor of Burnsville, do hereby endorse the efforts of our Federal Government on behalf of the older workers and designate March 7-13, 1976 as NATIONAL EMPLOY THE OLDER WORKER WEEK here in Burnsville. I am urging all employers of this area to give special consideration to the skills and qualifications of those men and women 40 years of age and older. 1 am also asking those public officials who are responsible for job placement, counseling, training and retraining services to intensify, throughout the entire year, their efforts to hiilp older workers find suitable jobs and training opportunities This is a community-wide effort which should engage the active support of all our institutions. This February 26, 1976 Robert K. Helmle, Mayor Mrs. George W. Roberts visited her. mother, Mrs. Lester H. Lamb, in Ingold last week. * Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Higgins and Dee Dee of Charlotte, N.C. spent the weekend with Mr. Higgins’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Higgins and friends. Mrs. is spending a week with her daughters, Mrs. Carl Sisk and Mrs. Orville Tipton in Erwin, Tennessee. Laaf -•&?•' [ ■--• •. Jj ■Mr—fad ||V . ■: H' 1 ■ V Wmamm * iSjT, s gif 4k.
