In Brantley County 27 youths have been assigned to a wide variety of jobs. Some will work with the school sys tem in areas of general main tenance, repairing, painting and clerical. Other works sites include city and county go vernment departments, local libraries, and other public agencies. Mershon Aspinwall. Jr.; NYC project director for the Slash Pine Area Planning and Development Commission sponsored project, said the summer project offers a real opportunity for youths, not only economically but in giv ing them job-training ex periences. It also renders a service to the work site agency in that work not previously being done can be accomplished dur ing the summer months, he said. Assisting the NYC staff in handling the project in the counties of Atkinson, Bacon, Ben Hill, Brantley, Charlton, Ware are 20 teachers from area school systems who work with Slash Pine 10 hours per week in coordinating work being done by the enrollees, counseling with enrollees, consulting with work site su pervisors, and keeping records. In Brantley the coordinating teacher is Herbert Colvin. Aspinwall said every effort will be made to handle the project in such away that the youths as well as work site agencies benefit. He pointed out that while a federal grant nays the $1.25 per hour salar ies, the work site agencies should consider the enrollee their employee and see to it that the enrollee does a work manlike job while getting the training experience. “The program is not design ed to give the youth anything but an opportunity. They should earn their wages and thereby learn the lessons each experience brings. The NYC summer project leans heavily upon each cooperating work site agency to see that this is accomplished,” Aspinwall said.
