Marshall, newly appointed Director of Special Projects at College of The Albemarle said as he discussed employment problems in the Albemarle counties. Marshall's responsibility with the college's Project COA is to provide training for the unemployed and unskilled. "Project COA stands for Careers, Opportunities, and Advancement," he said. "What that boils down to is that we offer certain courses with only a $2 fee to those who want to learn a skill for a job." .. He continued by rioting two examples of courses that Project COA will hold this fall. "We will have a Care of Children and the Aged and a Fundamentals of Welding Course that will begin September 4. The classes will be taught daily from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.," Marshall said. The Care of Children and the Aged is designed to train those who might work in nurseries, kindergartens, or day care centers with children or for work with the elderly in nursing homes or even in private homes. Classes will end October 12. The Welding Course will begin on September 4, also, and end October 26. It is designed to prepare students for work in various industries that require arc ft kill For J '-It. v v v - and acetylene welding and metal cutting. Marshall said Project COA will offer courses such as Homemaker's Assistant, Crafts for Employment, Sales Clerk, Horse Care and Grooming, Masonry, and Nursing Attendant. Most of the classes last from six to eight weeks. "But our main problem is locating students and matching their capabilities with the training that is available," Marshall said. "That is why we have three full-time recruiters to contact potential students. Fred Fearing works in Pasquotank County; Edith Nixon in Chowan, Gates, and Perquimans counties ; and Sadie Gallop in Camden, Currituck, and Dare Counties. - Marshall said that with the fall program soon to begin, those who want more information about Project COA courses should contact his office at College of The Albemarle or they could check with their county counselor. In Perquimans County Mrs. Nixon may be reached at 482-3274. COME 'N' BACK - TO Job T V mm SHOPPING SPREE EVERY ITEM IN THE STORE WILL BE MARKED AT A 10 DISCOUNT! THINK OF THE SAVINGS!

T: r 3f r rr Public schools in North Carolina will be better prepared foe opening this fall than they have ever been in the state's history. They will be better prepared because of the extension of the employment term for teachers enacted by the 1973 General Assembly, according to Dr. A.C. ' Dawson, executive secretary of the N.C. Association of Educators. ' "Since our teachers will begin their year more than a week before the children begin, our teachers will have time to prepare records, rooms and materials before - the children arrive," Dr. Dawson explained. "In the past many teachers did preparation on their own time without pay. "Other teachers did" the preparation during the first few days of school and let the children go without instruction," Dr. Dawson continued. "And sadly, some just didn't get it done, which meant their children got less than they should have in educational quality." Dr. Dawson pointed out that the General Assembly has assured every child of a teacher who is prepared and ready to begin instruction on the first day the child attends school. ' The General Assembly extended the teachers' work year from 197 to 10 calendar months. This means teachers will have time to learn new material, get and count textbooks, gather the many supplemental materials that enrich the learning process, plan playground and lunch duty schedules, complete in service . training, put up bulletin boards, check clerical records and the many other things needed to begin the school year. During the year there will be days set aside for bringing records up to date, replenishing supplemental materials and . evaluating children's progress. "At year's end, a few days' will be available for winding up the term-but after the children go home," Dr. Dawson said. "Our children ought to get a full 180 days of instruction this year, We think this is a significant advancement in the quality of North Carolina's public school system."

You seem to smile and say, Don't cry, I am only sleeping Till we meet again someday.
