CONWAY CHICAGO (AP)-Clarence Wallace took a wrong turn in the road life when he was in the primer stage in school. Wallace, who was born on a farm in the hill country of Tennessee, never got back to school. In time he became a common laborer.

A heart condition ultimately ended his ability to lift and tote. Seven months ago he went on relief in Chicago. Now fhis ruddy, beefy man of 53 is back in school. He and his classmates study at the level of the first three elementary grades. Two evenings a week they sit in straight-back wooden chairs in Room 124 in Lake View High School.

They look, at the teacher and, beyond, to a- blackboard bearing such chalked sentences as: "The little dog will jump." "I 1 know figures," Wallace said, 'but I can't read and write. You can't get a job if you can't even write your name." Wallace, a bachelor, dreams of learning the first two R's and then finding a job in a plant where machines provide the muscle. Wallace is one of 282,000 persons receiving some form of pub- A sampling of able-booMd re- liefers indicated this fall that 50,000 are functionally illiterate. They read and write so poorly, if at all, that they have little chance of getting past the application blank desk of. an employment office.

Raymond M. Billiard, director of the Cook County Department of Public Aid, found the statistics appalling. "If. the staggering burden of relief is to be reduced," he said, "it is essential, that the educational level of these people be upgraded." So the department teamed with the Board of Education in a program they call unique-- evening classes in public schools, ranging through the 'elementary grades into high school, to get people off relief rolls and on pay rolls. So far, have enrolled and the number is growing toward the immediate goal of 10,000 and an eventual 50,000.

The staff uncovered one woman with an I.Q. of 128. Her long- range aim is a high school diploma and then college. Juan Mendez has set his sights much lower. "I want some kind of job in factory," he said, holding up his hands as if reaching for levers "But I don't know how to work machines.

I get job when I learn English better." Mendez, 43 and small, wore a neat gray suit with the large pointed lapels that were in vogue 10 years back. He came from Puerto Rico nine years ago anc drifted to Chicago. TRUCKLOAD SALE! CHOCOLATE CANDY BY THE A Christmas Bonus Special Values to 79c Ib. 6 Varieties Your Choice IBs. for 47c Ib.

The brightly colored eight-inch dolls have brought employment to almost 40 families in the depressed mountain area.
