lege students in North Carolina.
He said, "When schools close
this summer there will be many
young citizens in need of gainful
employment to help provide
money to continue their educa
tion in the fall. We are asking
that private business and indus
try help North Carolina by pro
viding meaningful jobs for these
deserving young men and wom
en."
The summer employment pro
gram for students was devel
oped in conjunction with the
Governor's Council for Econom
ic Development, the several par
ticipating State agencies and
representatives of business an?
industry, the Governor said.
The Governor reported that
the first private organization to
endorse the summer employ
ment program was the North
Carolina Citizens Association, a
Statewide group of business and
industry leaders dedicated to
sound government and a grow
ing economy.
The Association's executive
committee met in Raleigh re
cently and approved the Gover
nor's request for support of the
s?immer emp'oyment program.
Officials of the organization are
contacting all member compa
nies immediatelv to encourage
maximum participation.
J. C. Cowan, Jr. of Greens
boro, president of the associa
tion, said: "The business and
industrial leaders of our State
recognize the importance of the
Governor's request for help in
providing summertime jobs for
students. We at the Citizens As
sociation will cooperate fully in
requesting assistance from all
our employer members."
Governor Moore commended
the Association for its interest
and support for the program.
He Said that other public and
private agencies and organiza
tions are being contacted to help
with the summer employment
effort. These include numerous
trade associations, regional de
velopment groups, etc. All are
being urged by the Governor to
give full support and encourage
ment to the program.
Summer jobs made available
by business and industry will be
listed with the North Carolina
Employment Security Commis
sion. The Commission has offices
throughout the State and will
work with employers and stu
dents in placement.
Chairman Henry Kendall said,
"The Employment Security
Commission is excited over the
Governor's leadership in this
drive for additional summer job
opportunities for students. The
need is obvious.
"Our 54 local offices and five
mobile units will be happy to
serve as clearing houses for
their respective areas and to re
fer the students to available jobs
most compatible with their
abilities and interests. Coopera
tion of schools will be solicited
to expedite the application
proces*," he said.
