JOB CORPS PROVIDES
EQUIPMENT FOR LIFE
There was a time when one’s
daughter’s future contained only the
prospect of marriage and a life of
home-making. Preparation for living
meant learning to manage a home, to
raise children, to bake and sew, and -
for the interim period when she was
looking for a suitable husband -- such
feminine arts as music and singing,
dancing, and painting in water-colors.
Girls of my age often went to finishing
schools where they learned such extras
as skiing and French, and a mysterious
matter known as “deportment”.
Today things are different. We want
our daughters to go into adulthood
ready for a career of some kind as well
as preparation for their roles as wives
and mothers. Many will work for some
years as teachers, nurses, dental
hygienists, before they marry. Some will
become doctors, lawyers, economists.
We want them to be equipped to handle
these tasks not just as something “to fall
back on” if all else fails but as a real
part of their life experience.
While many girls in this country have
the advantage of special training, or a
college background, to prepare them for
the years ahead, there are others who
find themselves without this equipment
for life. These are the girls who, for
some reason or another, “drop out” of
school early and start their adult lives
with no preparation at all - either for
marriage or for jobs in the working
world.
You meet girls in this position in
areas all over the nation. We sometimes
call them “disadvantaged”. They do not
have the education, the training, or even
the attitudes towards society, to help
them gain what most of us take for
granted - a rewarding job, self-respect,
and hope for the future.
Many are now finding new hope in a
program called Job Corps, which offers
young people such opportunities as job
training, remedial education,
professional guidance and training, and,
at the end of their training, assistance in
finding suitable employment.
•
Job Corps centers have been set up in
different parts of the country, for the
training of men and women. Some are
only for residents, some have resident
and non-resident components, some are
located in cities and some in rural areas.
The girl who goes off to a job corps
center generally expects to be in
training for about two years. She has to
have a certain amount of perseverance
and a good deal of courage to weather
the first weeks in a brand-new
environment, far from her home and
family and friends. Supporting many of
the trainees before, during and after the
training period is a voluntary
organization called WICS (Women in
Community service which helps to
recruit and screen girls for Job Corps
enrollment, keeps in touch with them
during their time in the Corps, and
assists them to adjust to the work-a-day
world when they graduate.
WICS (which began as a coalition of
members of the Church Women United,
the National Council of Catholic
Women, the National Council of Jewish
Women and the National Council of
Negro Women) now has units all over
America, composed of women who
work together to help girls from many
different types of background break out
of the poverty cycle md begin to live
lives which are productive and in which
they can make a real contribution to the
society in which they live.
WICS volunteers work in the
background. They may do no more than
visit the family, provide the support and
encouragement which a girl may need
before taking a momentous step in her
life, write the occasional letter to
someone who is far away and
home-sick, advise on suitable living
accommodations after graduation - but
this kind of helping hand may mean the
difference between success and failure
to the girl struggling to take the first
steps up the ladder. WICS has an active
office in Atlanta, and is starting a new
branch in Savannah, based at the Social
Apostolate Office, near the Cathedral.
While volunteers in Savannah are few so
far, there have been some contacts made
which have proved helpful, and the
stories of girls who have successfully
“made the grade” are heart-warming.
Among the recent job-corps graduates
are two young girls who earned
themselves an excellent record during
their training period and are now
employed - one as a practical nurse in
one of our hospitals, the other as an
off-set printer on a college campus.
Those interested in knowing more
about WICS in the Savannah area should
contact Mrs. William C. Lieberman, at
the WICS office, (Social Apostolate).

Students improve their reading skills at Summer Camp.
St. Benedict’s Summer Camp
The staff couldn’t believe their ears,
and had to ask the disappointed youth
to repeat himself. But he persisted,
“Can’t we come tomorrow? Is this
REALLY the last day?” As they
continued to pack away the math and
reading books for the summer, the staff
of St. Benedict’s Summer Day Camp
had to admit that camp was over. At
least for this year.

The program, which was conducted
from June 18 till July 28, offered the
students an opportunity to improve
their math and reading skills, as well as
an informal setting for sharing with one
another the fellowship of the Gospel.
Activities began each day with stories
from the New Testament which
emphasized brotherhood and concern
for the neighbor in need.
Student-planned liturgies, led by Father
Fred Nijem, were also a part of the
religious aspect of the program.
Field trips provided the youngsters
with a broadening of their cultural
horizons as they toured local
museums, historical sites and even
factories. Weekly trips to the beach and
to the Savannah State College swimming
pool were the favorite sports activities.
Arts and crafts added to the enjoyment
of each day.
Staffing the Camp were three Sisters
of Mercy: Sister Mary Brigid, Sister
Mary Patrick Joseph, and Sister Mary
Elaine; one Franciscan Sister; Sister
Patricia; and three young parishoners:
Miss Evelyn Jenkins, Miss Rhodena
West, and Miss Janice Williams.
Working closely with the Pastor of St.
Benedict’s Community, Father Fred
Nijem, the seven staff members aimed
to provide variety and continuity in
their program. Parish and community
cooperation were the essential
ingredients for success in the program.
The disgruntled youth was not about
to give up his questioning without at
least exacting a promise that the Sisters
would return next year. They assured
him they would!

TV Movies
SUNDAY, AUGUST 19 — 9:00 p.m.
(ABC) - THE BLUE MAX (1966) - George
Peppard fans will be treated to their hero’s
high-flying exploits as a German WW I fighter
pilot, whose flirtations with danger and death
in the air are matched only by his pursuit of
fleshly pleasures back on the ground. Buxom
Ursula Andress provides grist for his amorous
mill, and craggy James Mason as his
commandant, tries to maintain a semblance of
Teutonic discipline. Historically, the film
deals with the period surrounding the epic
Battle of the Somme in 1918, which further
weakened Germany’s faltering fight. When
originally released, the Catholic film office
objected to the graphic love scenes in the film
on the grounds that they were overly explicit
considering their slight bearing on the
advancement of the plot. (B)
MONDAY, AUGUST 20 — 9:00 (ABC) -
ROGUE’S GALLERY (1968) - A repeat of a
horror film we have no record of; perhaps it
has been aging in the Hollywood storage bin.
According to releases, it is about a
down-but-not-quite-out private eye, and it
stars Roger Smith and Farley Granger. Smith
plays the detective, hired to prevent a wealthy
woman’s suicide, but instead all he gets is
beaten, drugged, etc.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 21 — 8:00 p.m.
(NBC) - THE CEREMONY (1963) - Robert
Walker impersonates a priest in order to gain
access to his jailed murderer-bank robber
brother, Laurence Harvey, and hatch a plot to
spring the convict. Waiting at home is
sweetheart (and escape mastermind) Sarah
Miles - but the big question is, which one of
the brothers is she waiting for??? (And who
really cares?) (A-lll)
8:30 p.m. (ABC) -- THE COUPLE TAKES
A WIFE -- Ha! Ha! This was originally offered
at Christmastime last year, so maybe the
timing, at least, is a little improved, but the
comedy remains the same. Bill Bixby and
Paula Prentiss are your average middle-class
American couple who become slightly
unstuck after hiring a domestic helper - who
happens to be statuesque, kooky Valerie
Perrine. Needless to say, she’d like her duties
to extend beyond the call. A matter of taste
for entertainment-starved adults.
9:30 p.m. (CBS) - SANDCASTLES -
Rerun of a TV flick with Bonnie Bedelia as a
strange young woman who develops an even
stranger romance -- with a young man (Jan
Michael Vincent) who was killed a short while
back in an auto crash. Herschel Bernardi is
understandably confused as the young man’s
former employer from whom the kid had
embezzeled a large sum. Hummmm.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22 — 8:30 p.m.
(ABC) ~ GOODNIGHT, MY LOVE -
90-minute TV film really stretches for novelty
in casting 3’10” Michael Dunn as half of a
detective team (the other half, taller if not
any better, is Richard Boone) walking
through a dreadfully campy “Maltese
Falcon-type” flick. Forget it.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 23 — 9:00 p.m.
(CBS) - THE SERGEANT (1968) - This is
one of actor Rod Steiger's best-ever screen
performances (and lately, he needs all the
encouragement he can get), as he utterly
inhabits the characterization of an outwardly
tough but inwardly very disturbed Army
sergeant. Director John Flynn and cameraman
Henry Persin help enhance Steiger’s
performance by carefully creating the bleak
postwar Army environment with
extraordinary reverence for detail. As a young
recruit who comes into conflict with his
latent-homosexual sarge, John Phillip Law is
also quite effective. Fine, finely wrought
adult drama. (A-lll)
FRIDAY, AUGUST 24 — 9:00 p.m. (CBS)
-- CHUBASCO -- A story of deep-sea tuna
fishing with all the dangers involved is
background for what might be considered the
story of a young juvenile's (Christopher
Jones) regeneration through the trust and
confidence placed in him by the judge
(Edward Binns) and by the fisherman (Joe De
Santis) who gives him employment. The love
interest between the young man and the
daughter (Susan Strasberg) of another fishing
captain (Richard Egan) leads to a marriage
without the father’s consent and the wedding
takes place in a brothel run by Ann Southern.

THE COOK’S
NOOK
BY THE CHEF
The Chef wishes to apologize to Mrs. John Tomkin of Thomasville for putting a
gremlin into her recipe for New Orleans Baked Squash or (Eggplant). The propoer
amount of onions is 3 spring onions.
The following are recipes by Mrs. Stanley Butchek.
HE-MAN SUPPER
Ingredients:
2 lbs. round steak, cut in thin strips
V2 cup spicy sweet french dressing, divided in half
V2 cup chopped onion
IV2 cups water
1 (l l A oz.) package sour cream sauce mix
V2 cup chopped celery
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 can (3 oz.) mushroom slices, drained
hot cooked noodles
Brown steak strips in l A cup of the french dressing. Add onion and cook until onion
is tender. Combine water and remaining dressing; add sauce mix and stir until smooth;
add to meat strips. Stir in celery, mushrooms and Worcestershire Sauce. Cover pan
and simmer about 1 hour or until meat is tender. Serve over noodles. This makes 6
servings
The meat is easy to cut into thin strips when the steaks are partially frozen. Be sure
to cut diagonally. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and can also be frozen
(except for the noodles).
The flavor is enhanced the second time around. Mrs. Butchek discovered this recipe
in Southern Living.
Ingredients:
CUCUMBER PICKLES
V2 cup sugar
V2 cup white vinegar
!4 cup water
V2 teaspoon Dill Weed
1 teaspoon salt
4 cucumbers
Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Score and slice 4 cucumbers. Pour
vinegar solution over slices of cucumbers and chill for several hours. Mrs. Ray Ringson
gave this recipe to Mrs. Butchek. It can be put in jars in the refrigerator for several
months.
