The brochure will be distributed to over two hundred thousand Jaycees in every state of the U. S.

Are you between the ages of 18 and 25 Do you have 1 farm background, 4-H or FFA experience? Have you had experience or training in farm cooperatives? Did you take courses in Agriculture or home economics in college? S. W. Dyar, Agricultural Extension Agent for Simpson County, says if your answer is "yes" to the first two questions and one or more of the others you should apply now.

Volunteers in Guatemala will not be required to demonstrate very high proficiency in any specific technical fields. They will try to show the Guatemalans how to better their way of life. Encouragement, gentle hints, convincing demonstrations and friendship will be more important than theories or college degrees. The Volunteers will try to get the people to experiment for themselves, and on their own to utilize the human, financial and technical resources which the country possesses. The great majority of farm families live in the Indian heartlands, where ancient traditions and ignorance have restricted these people from developing in to a productive force for their country.

Recently they have become interested in developing their lands and using more modern methods of farming. Volunteers will find broad opportunities in teaching agricultural and home making techniques through 4-H type clubs. Through demonstrations they can introduce better seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides, better machinery. There is also a great need for developing credit facilities and cooperatives, encouraging soil conservation practices, and improving sanitation. Volunteers will live and work in villages located about 4-5 ho urs via jeep from Guatemala City, a thriving metropolis of 350,000 population.

Guatemalja is also the country where the mysterious Mayan civilization flourished centuries ago. Exten sive ruins have been unearthed in the Peten region, making it a haven for archeologists and anthropologists. All persons in Simpson County interested in applying for Peace Corps service in Guatenv ala should contact Mr. Dyar at his office as soon as possible.
