The Commission Appointed Director For Job Corps Center Mrs. John E. Riley, 3639 Pali- sade Drive, was named Project Director for a Salt Lake Screening Center for women Job Corps applicants. Mrs. Riley was designated for the job by the local WICS organization. WICS Women in Community Service, Inc., represents four national volunteer womens organizations: National Council of Catholic Women, the National Council of Jewish Women, the National Council of Negro Women, and the United Church Women. Incorporated in Washington last December, WICS has contracts with the Office for Economic Opportunity to do recruiting and screening of 1 year old women applicants for the Job Corps Training Centers. Mrs. Riley announced that the womens center would be housed at the Youth Employment Center, 345 South 6th East, in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake is one of over 50 centers set up nationally under this volunteer program. At the present time, all women job corps applicants from Utah will be screened through the Salt Lake center, 16-2- Mrs. Riley stated. Volunteers are needed to help set up the office and conduct home interviews with appli- cants. Any women interested in assisting with this project are asked to contact Mrs. Riley at the Center or to give their names to Miss Loa Russell, director of the Volunteer Bureau, Community Services Council, 72 West 2nd South.

In most types of service jobs, the applicant is expected to pay his or her transportation expenses and in many costs to meet at least part of the cost of food and lodging. Some sponsoring organizations, however will now consider waiving the requirements for especially well qualified youngsters who cant afford to pay their own way. While a volunteer summar job pays nothing, its other advantages sometimes outweigh the lack of salary. Such summer jobs have sometimes helped to suggest the direction a young person ultimately wants his career to take, and they often furnish experience that proves valuable in college and beyond.
