Recruiting youny men for Job Corps Recruitment of young men for the Job Corps is progressing fri'the Waterloo area, according to Paul M. Phillips, Manager of the Waterloo office of the Iowa State Employment Service. So far, 13 boys have talked to officials of the local office about signing up for the Job Corps during the special Iowa campaign to attract young men to this program who will accept assignments to training centers by the end of April. Mr. Phillips emphasized that interested young men should contact the Iowa State Employment Service at 527 E.

5th Street in Waterloo immediately. To be accepted by the Job Corps, a young man must be btween the ages of 16 and 22 and unemployed or unable to find a good job because of lack of training. About 20,000 young Americans are already taking part in the Job Corps programs in approximately 85 centers throughout the United States. In "stepping up to the Job Corps" many of these young men are already contributing immeasureably to the nation's economy. During the past year, Corpsmen spent 12,433 man-hours fighting forest fires, building and maintaining 29 miles of fire breaks, reducing fire hazards and maintaining fire suppression facilities and lookout towers.

Corpsmen assisted in controlling disease, on tree insect pest control, and improving forest stands by pruning, weeding, and thinning on over 3,000 acres of public lands. They helped develop 250 fam- camping, maintain and build 30 ily units for picnicking and shelters, lay 1,280 yards of pipe and tile lines and 11,720 yards of walks, and construct 640 signs, markers, and documents. In addition to the jobs mentioned above, Waterloo Corpsmen have learned cooking, auto mechanics, and welding. Young men from this area have received training in such distant places as Massachusetts, California, Oregon, New Mexico, and Texas, and right next door in Wisconsin. A 19-year-old Iowa youth about to graduate from his Job Corps training has said: "I think a lot of guys could benefit from the Job Corps training.

You not only get good training, but you learn to live with others and as far as I'm concerned, the instructors and equipment are tops. I think the Job Corps has given me a break."
