COMMISSIONER CALDWELL
OPENS 1968 CAMPAIGN
FOR SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
“More than 13,000 young
Georgians spent last summer
on the job . . .instead of on the
streets. This summer we hope
to place at least 20,000 of
them in gainful employment.”
Georgia Commissioner of
Labor Sam Caldwell today
launched the 1968 Summer
Youth Opportunity Campaign
toward this target, calling on
employers-large and small-to
make the jobs available.
With more than 250,000
employable young Georgians
leaving the classroom soon and
looking for something to do
this summer, Caldwell will
make a personal written appeal
to all of the state’s employers,
asking their cooperation in
creating openings for the
youngsters.
“These young men and
women can be an economic
asset to employers,” he said.
“They are eager and willing to
perform any task, reliable and
able to assume reponsibility
despite their lack of
experience.
“They permit employers to
catch up on work delayed by a
labor shortage and keep the
staff at operational level during
regular employees’ vacations.”
Former University of
Georgia star Larry Rakestraw,
now quartervack with the
National Football League
Chicago Bears, has joined the
Labor Department staff for the
summer to work on the
statewide opportunity
campaign.
“The young people will be
ready to go to work in June,”
Commissioner Caldwell said.
“All need the work experience
and many need the money to
return to school in September.
“Those who don’t return to
school will be ready to become
trained fulltime employes.
Those who do go back will
return in a few years with the
educational preparation for a
more responsible position.
“Encourage every Georgia
employer to do himself a favor
and his state a service by
adding as many of these young
people as possible to his staff
for the summer.”
Employers who want more
information should contact the
nearest office of the Georgia
State Employment Service.

Vocational Rehabilitation in

in existance since 1921 when
five people were treated and
placed in jobs that they could
do. In 1967, there were 8752
rehabilitated persons.
Vocational Rehabilitation
means finding an individual
with a vocational handicap and
giving him something to do
that he can handle. People with
a disability need help. If a
person can perform a duty, he
is no longer disabled.
An applicant fills out a form
from which a counselor makes
a survey. He is then sent to a
doctor for a general physical
examination. Afterwards he is
sent to a specialist in his
particular disability. Then he
goes into a training program
where he is tested and
evaluated.
The Division begins working
with retarded children at age
14. Many people who are
regarded as retarded only need
