Show finding o pkee Summer is the season when formal education across the nation comes to a near standstill. It is a happiness time for the small fry and, for a few of the larger ones who have the means to make it so. Traditionally it is the season for travel ; of cottages and beaches, and shorts and camps and sunburn. But for one group in particular the summer season brings forth mixed emotions and perplexing problems. This is the group of youth in the 16-21 age bracket, comprised of high school and college students who are looking for summer jobs. Summer jobs for these youth is vital. For many it represents the only means of returning to school in the fall. For 'others it is necessity in helping ends meet at home. Without jobs some of the youth may turn to the streets from sheer boredom and become problem youth. All who want to work, should have the opportunity to do so. The President's Summer Youth Opportunity Campaign Cam-paign is designed to this end. It is an admirable campaign cam-paign to which every responsible citizen in the Nation should give enthusiastic response. Every businessman and every individual can join merely by determining to be of help in his or her community. It is the American way of life to offer youth a helping hand. We urge every responsible citizen in this community to maintain this tradition. Let no job that a youth can perform be left undone in our community. |
