SOITH WEBER Representatives from the Clearfield Job Corp, the Davis-Weber Canal Company Com-pany and a Roy city councilman were awarded plaques pla-ques by the Weber Basin Job Corp in November for their contributions to the center. THE PRAISE came at a special Thanksgiving community com-munity relations luncheon, complete with turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie. Weber Basin Job Corp "is the only place I know of where you can eat a good meal once a month and still get a plaque," said Roy city councilman Wayne Kimber upon receiving an honorary plaque from the center. KIMBER, WHO is also manager of the Davis-Weber Davis-Weber Canal Co., was praised by Center Director Ted Larsen for his help in solving problems with the WBJC's South Weber canal. Mr. Larsen said when he returned as director of the job corp the center was having serious problems with the canal. "That all changed," he said, when Mr. Kimber took over. REPRESENTATIVES of the Davis-Weber Canal Company were also awarded a plaque for their service ser-vice to the center. In a third and final presentation, Mr. Larsen thanked Mose Watkins, center director of the Clearfield Clear-field Job Corp, for the close-knit cooperation rendered ren-dered by staff and students there. "I REALLY feel that the state of Utah has it over the other states when it comes to Job Corp," Larsen said, because Clearfield and WBJC work so closely together. "We're working together and we're probably closer clos-er than any other cities in the U.S.," he said. IN OTHER business, Community Relations Council Coun-cil Chairman Richard Youngberg announced that the center now houses 169 male and 68 female students stu-dents a traditional 75-25 percent breakdown. In a breakdown of ethnic groups, Youngberg pointed out that the center houses 67 Indian students, stu-dents, 36 Spanish, 26 Black and 93 Caucasian, mdm |
