The results of a recent experimental project in the Sacramento area suggest that such community involvement by volunteers, "in the best spirit of the creative society," as Director of Employment Peter Weinberger describes it, can be successful, An auxiliary employment service office in the suburb of Carmichael just outside Sacramento attracted 500 job applicants in the 45-64 age group.to fill 626 job openings, and 200 placements were made. A volunteer-staffed office in the suburb of North Sacramento, serving the 65-andover applicant, attracted 63 applicants to 100 job openings, and 20 were placed. The projects were under the direct supervision of Georgia McKenna of the Sacramento Employment Ser-' vice office, In the two Sacramento-area projects as.in similar projects in Louisville, Kentucky, the volunteers, under supervision of a professional employment service staff member, performed the more elementary functions of recruitment, application taking, selection, referral and job development and placement, receiving only expense money for their services, The projects were funded by the federal government through the U.

More than 40 per cent of the applicants were placed. Despite the fact that these were hard-to-place applicants, 75 per cent of the placements were in jobs paying the going rate or higher for that occupation. The purpose in establishing the volunteer-staffed neighborhood older worker demonstration project centers, according to Weinberger, was to see if such centers increase accessibility of services to older workers and if the services of the department are expanded through the use of volunteers. Most of the volunteers staffing the experimental project were women, and the most eager and enthusiastic came from applicant files of the California State Employment Service. simplicity ve.

We want to thank Tom Davis for going out in that terrible windstorm and putting a big log on top of the awning on Rosemary Deckers Screened porch and he tied everything down good and tight, even in that terrible wind and rain, otherwise everything would have been a complete loss as the roof awning had come loose at one end and could have traveled clear to Grass Valley, if Tom had not been right on the job.

Advice to Holiday Drivers: Stop for Coffee Even Santa Claus, who covers more distance in one night than many drivers do in a year, takes regular rest breaks to insure his safety. True, the jolly old elf doesn’t drive a motor vehicle. His travels, however, do under_score the need for modern motorists to stop regularly at roadside restaurants for coffee and snacks that help reduce highway hypnosis. The fact that the coffee at many establishments will be free during the Christmas and ‘New Year’s travel periods makes Santa all the more receptive, as he shows here, with one of his pretty helpers. If you’ve been driving your car for long distances without stopping, take a lesson from St. Nick. Monotony can cause a serious accident, killing or injuring you and others. This is particularly true during the -end-of-the-year _holidays, when more motorists are making extended trips to visit friends and relatives than at ’ any, other time. There are, as Santa knows, several ways for drivers to cope with the tiresome uniformity of many long roads, Turning on your radio and opening a window can help, as can moving your eyes from side to side for a few moments. Keep some fruit drops in your car and slip one in your mouth when you begin-to droop. Frequent coffee breaks are, of course, one of the very best ways to break the dangerous monotony of long-distance driving. During the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, thousands of restaurants across the country will serve free coffee to drivers as an incentive for them to get off the highway for brief rest/periods. “If we save only one life,” remarks an official of the National Coffee Safety Stop Program, “it will have been more than worth the effort.” Many restaurants will have “free coffee” signs posted near their entrances. The signs serve as compelling reminders. “‘Drivers, of course, are urged to make regular stops for coffee whenever they need a break,” continues the spokesman. “We are sure that this will help reduce the traffic toll.” Cooperating in the accidentcontrol program are the International Association of Chiefs of Police. the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, and safety officials of the Armed Forces. Stop wherever you see the free coffee sign, they urge, and if you don’t see one, stop anyway. “It will help keep you alert and alive.” The coffee stop program — as endorsed by Santa Claus — is putting both drivers and passengers on the road to highway safety.
