WITH BRACELET. MAN'S CALENDAR. WITH Convenient Terms! Cleartield Boy (From Page 1) John W. Sawtelle, State Em ployment office manager a Clearfield, had submitted com plete information on ten coun ty youths as recruits for the Job Corps. Last Saturday he received approval to swear in three of them.

But when contact ed, two of the youths, due to personal family reasons, had decided not to join the Corps William, who attended Clear field Area Senior High School was the only one who had decided to join. The Clearfield area got in on the ground floor of the Job Corps program when the Em ployment office was requested to furnish the 10 young men for training. One group from Pennsylvania had already been recruited when the call went out for 90 more volunteers. The allotments went to-the Clearfield Employ ment Office, 10 men; Pitts burgh, 50; Honesville 10; Sunbury, 10; and Meadville, 10. The Clearfield office, under Mr.

Sawtelle's direction, began the task of recruiting youths for the program. Through a careful system, his staff picked out eligible young men, gave them tests and sent them to physi cians for physical examinations. The list was narrowed down to those who qualified physically and mentally for the project. Mr. Sawtelle noted that these youths have had only casual employment since graduating or dropping out of high school.

The Job Corps is mostly for young men between the ages ol 16 and 21 who are out of school and cannot find steady employment. In a Job Corps Center, these young people will receive basic education, job training and the experience to develop good work habits. They will get free room and board, clothing and $30 a month spending mon ey. When they leave the Corps they will receive $50 for each month of satisfactory service. If the corpsman qualifies he may send up to $25 per month home instead of saving it.

The Corps will send the same amount to the parents. Thus, a corpsman can still save $25 per month and his family will get $50 for each month he is in the corps. At all of the Corps centers, movies, athletics, games, libraries and various kinds of entertainment will be available. Each young nian may spend anywhere from a few months to two years in the Corps. The Corps will pay the cost of one visit home a year but corpsmen can also visit home at their own expense.

Parents may visit corpsmen at the Centers. The Corps is entirely voluntary and anyone can leave at any time. But, Mr. Sawtelle siays-iJt the Corps and completes his training he will be better equipped to get a job, return to school or join the armed services. The newest training methods are employed at the Centers.

Each corpsman, Mr. Sawtelle explained, will be able to learn at his own rate according to his own abilities and interest. Each center will have qualified personnel to give individual counseling. According to the Economic Opportunity Act, which includes two other youth programs and six other major areas of endeavor, the Office of Economic Opportunity may enter into agreements with any federal, state or local agency or private organization to establish and operate conservation camp? Clearfield Rotary Hears Report On Educational TV A report on educational television in the Clearfield Area Schools highlighted the regular weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Clearfield in the New Dimeling Hotel last night. Miss Dorothy Williams, audiovisual director in the Clear field Area Schools, reviewed the programming and some of the problems encountered with the newest addition to the system Station WPSX-Channel 3, with its transmitter located on the Penfield Mountain, seven miles north of Clearfield, has been transmitting only since the first of March.

Miss Williams said the pro grams emanating from the Penn State campus at Univer sity Park run from 10 a. until 3 p. m. daily for the schools while adult program are scheduled to start aboul June 1. Lessons offered this month for the elementary grades include those dealing with: speech, first grade; fitness and science, second grade; science and language, third grade; mathematics and art fourth grade; fitness and music fifth grade, and current events and foreign languages, sixth grade.

For the higher grades, some of the courses offered deal with electronics, American literature, Russian and genetics, Miss Williams added. She said outlines of the classes are furnished in advance to enable the teacher to prepare her students for the lesson that is to be televised. "All elementary schools in the Clearfield system now have a television set," Miss Williams said. "The last one to receive a set was Carnwath school with the installation completed only his past Saturday." The other schools own at least one set with several other rented sets available, she noted. Among the biggest problems educational television must overcome are scheduling and reception, but in both instances, Miss Williams said, steps are being taken to solve these problems.

Guests included Charles Vogelsong the Clearfield Area School's representative on the Allegheny Educational Broadcast Council, and M. L. Silberblatt, member of the Rotary Club of Curwensville.
