20.A-iMrfc«iik Van Nuvi Jtuwy. Volunteer World Holiday Season Is Over Opportunity to Give Goes On By GERALDINE WEST Good things do not always come in small packages. Sometimes they are to be found big ones. And it is a very big series of packages, indeed, under way at the North Valley Center of the YWCA. Mrs.

Jo Sieger, Teen Activities director, is recruiting women volunteers to work in three new programs for teenage girls, the Vocational Package, Charm Package and Contemporary Creative Workshop. This is a team, group effort and teaches the girls in a combined lecture, demonstration and discussion approach. They learn about jobs, how to get them, how to keep them and how to succeed in them. The charm program is for girls at Jeriann Bowman High School, a continuation school in Saugus and also at San Fernando Juvenile Hall. Here, girls in.

need of building self- eonfidence get help from women in the community on human relations, hair and face care. dress and role-playing in life. mporary Creative Workshop is a new venture and will be offering classes in drama, Avritmg, drawing, guitar and almost any subject in the creative arts in which the girls express an interest and for which a volun- iteer teacher can be found. "We feel we are doing more than simply offering classes; we are offering alternatives to just hanging around." Mrs. Sieger and the YWCA hope you will a i th this new thrust and that interested volunteers will call her at the North Vallev office at 365-9141.

CAN YOU DRIVE? The American Red Cross is seeking retired men in good physical condition to serve as drivers in the blood transportation unit. Actually any interested man from age 18 to 65 would be welcomed in the program which operates on a 24-hour-a-day basis seven days a week Volunteers may work any number of hours they choose, any time they choose, and are required only to pass a simple phy- sical examination as they will be driving Red Cross cars. It is important work. So many volunteers tell us they can't find jobs at odd in voluntarism. This might fit their bill.

Calls are being accepted by Mrs. Patricia Clark at 785-6511. Head Start is in financial difficulty. Congress this year requires that be funded from the community if they are to match it. This can be raised through volunteer time, cash and gifts of equipment, clothing, food or supplies.

Kent Corey assures that all such donations are income tax deductible. He asks that interested persons please call his office at 365-9326 and "lend a hand in some way." Information on these and other volunter opportunities may be obtained by calling Valley Volunteer Bureau director Mrs Kathryn Stratton at 785-8861, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Offices are located in the United Way Service Center, 6851 Lennox Ave, Van Nuys. They're Saying His Name in Same Breath With 'Oscar' By BARBARA CORDAY Two years ago the name John Marley of Studio City didn't mean much to people outside the film industry.

Only his face, rugged, weatherbeaten and craggy, -white wavy hair a ose penetrating eyes which speak volumes were recognized. People were always saying "there's the man who was Cat Ballou's father" or "there's the man who played this in that." That is the fate of a character actor. Suddenly two years ago things changed. John Marley hit the public eye with a double whammy: first, as the star of John Cassav brilliant film, "Faces," one of the most talked about movies of the decade, and second, by winning the coveted Venice Film Festival Award as best actor of the year for his performance Now, it is John Marley again, who has emerged in the beginning of this new year as the standout supporting actor his sensitive portrayal of All Mac- Graw's father in Erich Segal's "Love Story." His convincing and moving scenes will be remembered by everyone who sees the film. Once again John Marley is hearing his name bandied about in columns and -on the lips of the knowing JOHN MARLEY in the same breath with Oscar.

Of course, there are other sides to John There is the Marley who takes great pride in directing little theater productions in places like Cleveland and Baltimore where people don't have the opportunity to have fine theater as often as they would like. There is the Marley who takes a great interest in helping students and has been known more than once to spend weeks working with film students on projects Then there is the John Marley who lives quietly in a comfortable San Fernando Valley home with his wife, actress Stanja Lowe, and their three children. Their oldest son Peter is attending the University of Alaska and Julie and Ben are students at the Oakwood School Studio City where John also spends many hours helping in the drama department When he isn acting, chances are you'll find him on the tennis court Agile and graceful (don't let the snow white hair fool youj.
