VOLUME 45 —NUMBER 8
The Clayton County Unit of The American Cancer So
ciety is concerned to learn from statistics that busy business
men who are vitally interested in the "gcod health” of their
business seem not to be able to see the need for the same
vital interest in their own health. Time out for a check-up
with special emphasis on cancer is never time wasted—in
stead. it may mean extra years of time added, since many
kinds of cancer can be cured if detected in time. It is known
that a lesser number of women succumb to this dread enemy
because they have more "check-ups”—can you men possibly
let it be said that women have more sense in this particular
field? Os course not. It just means making those few min
utes to get the job done. An insurance for yourself, your
family and that most important thing, your business.
Chamber to Assist Youth
The Youth Opportunity
Committee of the Clayton
County Chamber of Commerce
will again this year undertake a
project toward assisting youth
of Clayton County in securing
employment for the summer.
Mrs. Larry Pearson, Chairman
of this committee, stated that
sixty-three requests from teen
agers were received last
summer for help in finding jobs
in in reply to the Chamber’s
appeal to local firms, more
than twenty companies ex
pressed a desire for extra help.
Mrs. Pearson and her com
mittee will conduct a survey of
local firms to enlist their sup
port. Letters with a question
naire are being mailed this
week. The success of this pro
gram depends upon the
response and interest of Clay
ton businessmen.
The purpose of the Youth
Opportunity Committee is not
only to help acquaint local
youth with the private enter
prise system which has made
America great but to develop
our young people through
honest work and constructive
activity. “We want our young
people to know that Clayton
County cares about them and
wants them to remain a part of
this community upon comple
tion of their formal education
and training,” said Mrs. Pear
son.
For further information or
applications, contact the
Chamber at 478-6549. In
terested youth may also check
with their school counselors.
