Hint: Mother’s Day is May 11 lob Crops Is Recruiting Drop-Outs I Watch Other Driver, Too The North Carolina Depart- mi*n‘ of Public Welfare will con tinue to recruit male school drop outs in S9 counties for Job Corps training?. RALEIGH It was one oX tho^e things that alwayg hapx)ons to Someone else. Then, on Satur day, April 12, 1969, it happened to you. This is the word rec(*ivt*d from the Regional Jom Corps by Stephen Petlitz, Chief of the Job C«)ips Section of the Sta'o Wel fare D<T‘^*'tnient. Presi.lent .Nixon transferred the Jof) Corj>s from the Office of Ecunomio Opportunity this past week to the Labor Depcir'ment. With the shift, it was announc ed that 50 Job Corps conserva tion centers, two men’s urban centers, and seven women’s cen ters will he closed by July 1, 1960. The closings are based on a rela tively high incidence of dropouts and insig>^‘1can‘ c'hange in the achieveme/l levels experienced , these .>9 centers. Some 17,000 youth ai'o involved in the center Closings and all will l)e offered the right to transfer to other Job Corps centers. The Administration proposes ‘o establish sf»me 30 inrcity re.‘'.^den- tial Job Corps centers. Charlotte is the only city in this State slat ed for such a center. These cen ters will be* established from the 1970 fiscal year budget anj will ae dependent on contracts b<v tween the Federal government and private industry. In view of all the changes tak ing place in the Job Corps pro- gr.am nationally, the Stat eWel- fare Department has been asked ; to amtinue recruitir / male drop outs between 16 and 21 for em rpllmont. Center assignments wilj he delayed some four to six weeks due to - he closing of the 59 cen-1 tors and the transfer of the 17.00rt youths already enrolled in these centers. The State Department of Pub lic Welfare has 11 Job Corps counselors on its staff who will continue ‘o interview and screen; candidates in the 89 counties. At the end of the past fiscal year, 1,195 male youths from North '"arolina were enrolled in Job; Corp^ centers across the country.! During the past hwo years the.se lob Corps counselors have com- nlelod 4.663 applications for training. You were driving along a two- lane highway in eastern North Carolina, well within the speed limit. Ycj were completely sober an dalert at peace with the world. Several ears were ap' preaching you in the lane to your left, so you pufled a few inches nearer the edge of the pavement on your right. Medical evidence indicates that lOS of sore throats are the re-1 1 suit of ‘•strop’* infection. The! North Carolina Heart Association reminds you not to neglect sore; throats. See your doctor. Then, in less *ime than it takes to hit the brakes or go for the shoulder of the road or do an> thing one of those ap proaching cars whips into your lane and hits you head-on. It was the other guy’s fault, lie pays for his mistake. He's dead. BUT youldn't care less. You’re dead ‘oo. \ The man you just met is listed as North Carolina traffic fatal ity number 375 for the year 1969. You get number 376. His name was listed first on the accident report tlia* came into the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles. | Curiejs aiwmt the fellow who' turned you into a statistic? Of course, there was no way you could have been. But, if you had known what the compu'ers at i the Motor Vehicles Building in' Raleigh knew, you would prob-: ably 1k‘ alive today. ; You wouldn’t have been on the; same hiighway with a man who had been arrested four times in ! the last ten years for driving on the wrong side of the road and ^ once for illegally passing on a curve. And 'hat’s not all. He’d be<m arrested twice for following too closely. He had been involved in! two accidents. His license had been revokcxl twice. ! Perhaps ironically, when ha killed you. he did it with a valid license to drive on the streets, and highways of North Carolina.’! His record had certainly indicat ed ‘hat he would eventually kill himself, and probably someone else. And that record indicated he would probably do t exactly the way he killed you driving on the wrong side of the road. But North Carolina law said he had a right to drive. If it’s any consolation, you’ were not ■'he only innocent vic tim of drivers who killed th-fm- selvos in North Carolina during the week of April 6-12. Motor Ve- PHONE 739-2176 WED.-THURS.
