They've taught the boys to paint and the girls to process fair entries, a complicated task, When a Union reporter and photographer visited the fairgrounds, one girl was typing entries in the office and another was lettering entry cards. Two of the boys were repaint~ ing a building while the third was clipping grass along a fence. The youngsters indicated they have found incentive through this program. One boy is married and has a child, but still intends to work toward his high school diploma. One of the girls also has worked as a teacher aide in the Grass Valley school system, and the other wants to be a government employe when she finishes her education. A common element among all of them is that they are learning the value of hard work and are beginning to set goals for their futures". ~ oh
