Show Universal Microfilm Corp. Picrpont Ave. PRESS TIME 141 Br George In the past few days we have seen that the government Is going to close a large number of its military bases and supply installations. In order to minimize the economic hardship on the employees at these bases and installations, the Secretary of Defense says that the government will try to find jobs for the men laid off. They will be retrained for their new jobs and the cost of transportation to the new job (moving the man and his family) will be borne by the government. In addition, the men are to continue to receive their salaries from the government until they are located at their new job. We also see by the paper that the Youth Conservation Corps, is to be activated. Under that which is under the program War on Poverty Bill' or 'The Economic Opportunity Act of 1963', Title I provides three specific programs for youths age 16 to 21 job corps, programs, work study work-trainin- g programs. The job (a) Job Corps corps to be administered by the Office of Economic Opportunity will consist of conservation camps and training centers. The conservation camps phase is esThe sentially similar to S.l Youth Employment Act of 1963 which was passed by the Senate in 1963 and has been pending for months before the House Rules Committee. These camps with 100 to 200 enrollees will be under civilian direction and designed to provide a variety of work experiences related to conservation and construction and will have a substantial educational component directed toward providing and upgrading skills in reading, writing, arithmetic and speech. Parelleling the conservation camps will be a series of training centers ranging in size from 500 to 5000 enrollees where the emphasis will be on vocational training and basic education. These centers would utilize or under-utilize- d unoccupied military training camps and take advantage of machinery and equipment available at such camps for quite specific trade training. Initially, the conservation camps and training centers enroll 30,000 to 40,000 young men about equally divided ameventualong these activities enrolbe will 100,000 youth ly led. Enrollees would receive an allowance ranging from $30 to $50 a month, a separation payment of $50 each month for satisfactory participation and permitted to allot $25 of his money to a dependent which could be matched by the Office of Economic Opportunity. I can't help but compare the plans for taking care of the men displaced by the closing of the federal installations with the treatment accorded the firemen on the railroad when the Senate committee decided they weren't ... necessary. Also, I can't help but compare the contemplated government program for youth training with the program that the Beaver manufacturing company was doing. When that company was operating here they had as many as thirty high school kids doing work after school and on Saturdays. These kids were learning a trade and going to school and earning money all at the same time and, because the plant was right here, the kid3 were able to live at home and go to school with full expectation of having a Job when they finished school. When the money ran short and we asked for a loan to keep that plant in operation we got nothing but excuses and sad stories about how the company was in shaky financial shape and all that baloney No credit was given for the money spent in training nor the value of the program with the school kids Now, within six months of that company's failure for lack of a loan, we find the government coming up with a plan for kids which I doubt will be as good as the one we had going here, which is expect ed to cost over $4,000 per year per youth and not one dime to be repaid. I'm not crying for Mr, John Goellner. He is a businessman and took a chance and got a kick in the teeth for his work. What burns me is that the jobs of over a hundred people were thrown down the drain and the best We could get was a ''that's too bad' from Washington. Well, it Is too bad. In fact it Is too damn bad. But, because of the training the girls got and the people that came here when the old plant was running, and the efforts of the members of the city council and others, the factory is back In operation. This, as far as I know, has been done without one bit of help from either the state or federal gov- ernment. I don't know how you folks feel but I am so tickled to e Single Copy 10c $3.00 a Year Ray Murdock Dies In Auto Accident At San Diego Word was received early Saturday morning by Mildred of the accidental death of her brother, Raymond Molen Murdock, of San Diego, in an automobile accident Friday November 20, as he was returning to his home from work.

Then to read of these programs which will take millions of our tax dollars to do the job that was being done for nothing I really have trouble with my blood pressure I guess while I'm on the subject, I'd Just as well get the rest of it off my chest too. When the Small business Administration was set up, they wrote the law so that newspapers and radio stations were not eligible for SBA loans, I am told that the purpose was so that it would insure freedom of the press by making sure that critizism of the government would not be withheld because a newspaper owed money to government agency. If that is the case then I'm all for it. Sometimes I wonder though, it could work out to destroy the small newspaper or radio station by withholding low interest, long-tercredit. Well, the man says we're a fixln to have prosperity like we never saw before let 'er come, I'm ready! m . Ray Yardley, the local brand Inspector, says he has a cow type critter that doesn's belong to him that he wants to get back to its owner. The problem is, how to be sure the fellow who claims it is the owner. If you have lost a cow type animal, write down a description of that animal including its age, coloring and any special markings and give the paper to Ray. If your description matches the animal he has and you can prove ownership, you just got your animal back, along with a board bill. If you want to play guessing games with Ray, just go right ahead, he wouldn't tell me how old it is nor whether it is a he or a she. Ray also complains that some folks are a might forgetful As all you folks know who take animals to the packing house, there is a fee for brand inspection of 20c per head. Some folks have been getting him to make the inspection and then forgetting to come up with the 20c. He must turn those fees in to the state each month and it has been costing him up to $5 a month to be a good feller. He wants to continue to be a good 'Joe' but doesn't know how long he can afford it. Seems as how there ought to be a moral in this somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on it.
