Handicapped Youth Loses Self In CETA Summer Work Program By Patty O’Neal CETA Staff Journalist His name is Roy Reed. He has no arms, but he worked as well as any other CETA worker at Unit I School in Griffin, Georgia. Bertha Taylor, CETA Counselor for Spalding and Butts Counties, was prima rily responsible for enrolling Roy in the program. “I made a home visit to contact Roy about possible employment and he was anxious to work with the CETA Program. I placed him at the Unit I School because it was near his home,” said Mrs. Taylor. The Comprehensive Em ployment Training Act (CETA) provided summer jobs for many people in Spalding County. Roy was a maintenance worker at Unit I School. “I swept floors and picked up trash. One week I helped paint the office,” said Roy. He continued, “I used my left foot to hold the paint brush. I would work just as fast as anybody else, especially when I was in a hurry.” Roy was a part-time worker in that he worked five hours each day. He was paid minimum wage. “I put most of my money in the bank. I opened a savings account at the beginning of the summer and I’ll use the money to buy school clothes and Christmas presents,” explained Roy. “This was my first real job,” said Roy. “In the past, my brothers and I did yard work.” Does Roy think that the CETA Program should in clude more handicapped people? “I think they should hire anybody that will work,” said Roy, smiling. Roy does not think of himself as being handi capped. He can do most things for himself. Mrs. Virginia Ball, a 12th grade counselor at Griffin High School, helped Roy become involved with the CETA Program. “Roy is independent. That’s the best way to describe him. He uses his feet the same way other people use their hands. I have ten fingers, but Roy has ten toes,” said Mrs. Ball. “When I went to work, I told my supervisor to treat me like everyone else. I can do the same work that anybody else can,” said Roy. Andrew Fellers is the director of the 1977 CETA Work Experience Program. “This program gave Roy valuable work experience as well as a summer income. I want to involve more people like Roy in the CETA Program. This experience helped to prepare Roy as well as many others for future employment,” said Mr. Fel lers. Fourteen-year-old Roy is in junior high school this year. His favorite subject in GRIFFIN STATE PATROL POST MAKES REPORT Sergeant W. I.

He just puts the brush between his toes and puts his ideas on paper like everyone else. He has artificial arms that are battery-operated. How ever, Roy said that he could work better with his feet. He also likes to read. Adventure stories are his favorite choices. AP advertised price in each A&P Store except as , specifically noted in this ad. '"C'l WICTIVI SIFT. 4, 1*77 THU) SIFT. I*. 1*77.
