"Give us youngsters who have proper attitudes," they said, "youngsters who have intelligence and good ability at reading, writing, speaking, and arithmetic ." As parents and citizens, what can we do to help the nation's youth become happy and productive members of the community? Part of the answer lies in better vocational Council guidance at school. The Manpower believes job counselling doesn't start early most enough or last long enough.. As a result, students don't receive the help they need. Although the number of junior and senior counsellors has more than douhigh-scho- ol bled in the last six years to about 18,000, that is still only one vocational adviser for every 453 youngsters. And more than half these counsellors devote less than half of their time to guiding our future citizens! I ' j "7 It's that DIAL feeling never worry about odor ! More than a feeling, it's a fact: with Dial yox never worry about odor. You see, normal has no odor until skin bacteria attack it. Ordinary soaps can't remove bacteria effectively. But Dial does! It's the one leading soap with nothing else as good. And it clings to your skin, so it protects you all day and for several days if need be.

Zellerbach, San Francisco industrialist who is chairman of the National Manpower Council, says: "We recommend that schools expand their vocational-guidan- ce programs. They should concentrate on telling students what really goes on in the world of work, and the opportunities they will have to become skilled if they have the right high school background. Vocational guidance should start when the student enters high school, so he will know how to plan his schooling and understand why certain subjects are important for him to study." In formal terms, the cduncil urges "substantial and rapid" increases in funds and staff for counselling purposes to be made available not later than the ninth grade and continuing throughout high school These are recommendations that can be implemented only by local school officials through the combined pressures of you and your neighbor. The council also urges your school officials to recruit local business, labor, government, and civic groups Into joint efforts to give young people more information on the many occupations open to them. The time for action is now. In the past, Americans perhaps could afford to be as complacent about their human resources as about their resources of iron, water, or oil. "Today," says the council, "any complacency is shortsighted and dangerous. America's present position and future needs require long-randevelopment and effective use of all our-- resources .in trained manpower."
