APRIL ADAMS r ! Review Start It unfortunate that every year the Job Corps program has to defend itself, believes Richard Quimby of the Clearfield Job Corps Center. Its insane to do away with one of the few programs in the country that is paying for itself, said the manager of special programs at the center. Recommendations have been made to President Ronald Reagan to eliminate or cut spending for Job Corps, along with .other federal programs. Referring to the proposal as a political balloon, Quimby said the national program, of which the center in Clearfield is the third largest in the country, is not another welfare program. The program is a threepronged attack on pdverty and unemployment, he described. It supplies vocational, academic and social skills training to disadvantaged youth across the nation. Currently, there are 106 centers in the U.S. They serve a maximum of 80,000 students per year, and will have an estimated $617 million budget next year. The Clearfield center is now training almost 1,500 youth, aged is V "!-- tl 7v : ' "t !'r w ' Review Start 77 777- to. , ' 7 777 '4 777i7 a ws ? 7 7. ' ' 7' 7', 77 7" 0X -- 7 '77 si7 .f Council.

Approximately 70 to 90 percent of students across the nation who have trained at Job Corps centers are placed in jobs, ing would generate calls from people with more property available. - -- - 777 V - jt f .. .

There is no alternative shown for what we are doing for these kids, he said. Security is provided at the center and students can leave only on buses at scheduled times. They are given three meals a day and expected to rise every day at 6 a.m. and clean up their living quarters, he explained. These kids dont just come in here and run around. We put stringent requirements on them. We help them set goals; they are required to attend class,- and unsociable behavior is not accepted out here, he said.

We need an evaluation period. In months to come, we will have to sit down and make a decision, he continued. A series of public hearings will be required.

To serve a need, approximately 200 beds would be needed initially, with an expansion capability of 364 beds. If the state built their criminal resource center with the county, they would need an additional 70 beds. The existing county jail has a 96 to 101 bed capacity.

The new ordinance would require only one zone for the three current uses, Burton said. These areas are rapidly being annexed into nearby cities, he said, mainly West Bountiful and Woods Cross.
