The Job Readiness Program will replace the Channel I and Friend and Friend (OFF) combined programs that have been offering some job skills training since the two were combined in July 1983. The new program is an outgrowth of a need seen by Sans Souci director Marlene Fabiny-Dollinger from the success of the informal program and what she believes can be accomplished with a more structured one. In the past six to nine months, CIFF participants have received jobs in the community based on their involvement in the program, Mrs.

Dollinger said. Employers have been willing to hire them based on Sans Souci's references. A RECENT success story occurred last month when a local man was hired at a local company because of the references given by Sans Souci, located at 1426 Sycamore. In a letter to Mrs. Dollinger he wrote, I don't know what I would have done the last few months without a place to keep me busy and help me prepare for a job.

With spending some time in the penal institution as part of my background and a drug rehabilitation program, too, it seemed like no one wanted to hire me. "I appreciate the trust that all of you had in me by allowing me to handle the cash box and associate with and assist customers. This new job is the beginning of a new, good life for me." LIKE THE letter writer, program participants are persons who need help getting jobs, Mrs. Dollinger explained. They have never had jobs or have had them for only short periods of times.

Participants are assigned to the current CIFF program through the County Court restitution program and are referred through the Community Mental Health Center and the Halfway House. Township trustees also refer poor relief recipients to the workfare program. After the individual has worked the number of hours assigned by the trustee or the court, doing shop work, carpentry work and gardening, it is up to him or her to commit to the Job Readiness Program, Mrs. Dollinger said. Most of these persons are looking for and are willing to work, Mrs.

Dollinger explained. They volunteer to work at Sans Souci after they have finished their assigned hours. iWHY NOT give them training rather than just offering them a place where they can come to work to keep busy?" Mrs. Dollinger asked herself. She said she saw the opportunity for Sans Souci to develop a program to meet their needs.

Under the new program, Sans Souci offers these persons the opportunity to sign a contract to learn marketable skills through a Mr. and Mrs. Adolph "Doc" Beauchamp of Route 6 will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Van Buren Elementary School in Brown County.

MRS. DOLLINGER said the program will be kept on a small scale so each participant can receive individual attention. Currently, about 12 persons work at the facility each day. Thirty-nine persons were admitted to the workfare program in February with a total of 65 persons working there by the end of the month.

Taking one person off the tax roles by finding him a job through the program, saves the taxpayers money, she said. "I can see it becoming a permanent part of Sans Souci. "The tough part now is selling the program -to the community and asking them to give these people a break." year-long program.

Wal cover Housewife For Home After years of research and more than a billion dollars in losses by electronic giants, someone is finally ready to admit a home computer for housewives is impractical. That is because computers are designed by men who have no idea what housewives do. They visualized a billion women sitting around an electronic hearth warming their hands over Christmas card lists and recipes. It never occurred to them that you can't program what a wife and mother does.

What we know can never be stored. How can you program menus without noting who will eat 'only brown food, who is allergic to shellfish and who makes disgusting, tasteless remarks over sweetbreads? Also who eats after ball practice, who works late on Wednesdays and who isn't eating at all. A mother would be a fool to store in her computer all of her secrets like where she hid the can of tennis balls that bounce, the Halloween Presbyterian Women's VAssdcuttan of rtrsl Presbyterian Church of Edinburgh will 'present its annual style show at 7 Wednesday id Edinburgh Iligh School CEf-ariusn. .5 "J- 5 t'; ICS IW Vnw 1 "CrHtr Ccr fzzi- t. rx V.

Trying to put the activities of a housewife into a computer is like trying to domesticate a water snake. Our energies and our activities are not an exact, absolute science. A home computer is not what we need.

We need someone to clean the toilets. Not one of those little mythical Tidy Bowl men that swish around the bowl, but an honest-to-goodness man! We need a conveyor belt that runs from the supermarket to our homes to eliminate all the grocery hustling. We need Pamper bed linens that self-destruct in a week's time and all we do is put new ones on. And as Phyllis Diller observed, "We need a stove that flushes." A product like a computer should fulfill a need, not the other way around.

Our world is too high-tech for a home computer. What to wash and what to dry clean, what fades in hot water and how many inches a pair jeans will shrink in the waistband would blow a normal computer's terminal. And how many computers could possibly come up with an answer to, "Where is it? Don't get up."
