Local poverty
program is
re-funded
By Donald F. Jensen, Director
Newberry-Saluda Neighborhood
Youth Corps
We have received official
confirmation from Atlanta,
from the office of the Acting
Regional Director, Bureau of
Work Programs, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor (Mr. William
Norwood) that we have been
refunded. The effective date
was January 1, 1968.
The total amount of our
new budget covers an eight
months’ period (January 1st
to August 31.) Federal funds
approved amount to 218,900.00
and local in-kind contributions
amount to $45,780.00, making
a total budget of $264,680.00.
We are authorized to employ
150 In-School enrolles at $1.25
per hour (10 hours per week),
75 Out-of-School enrolles at
$1.40 per hour —25 hours per
week ,and 150 Summer enroll-
ees at $1.25 per hour (25
hours per week.)
Due to anti-poverty bill
cuts made by Congress, our
program was reduced by 50
Out-of-School enrollees and 50
In-School enrollees. The posi
tion of one of the counselors
was also eliminated in the

Mrs. Lillie K. Pratt (New
berry) Bookkeeper.
Miss Evelyn Burns (New
berry) Secretary.
Mrs. '"F^ve Fraser (Silver-
street) Courtselor.
James D. Davis (Ridge
Spring) Counsellor.
Enrollees are working at
various public and private non
profit job-sites in both New
berry and Saluda counties.
Due to instructions from the
Labor Department, however,
we have removed enrollees
from the Saluda County School
District, which is out of com
pliance with Department of
HEW guidelines.
As we begin our second year
of operation, I want to ex
tend appreciation on behalf of
the enrollees, their families
and the Staff of the Neighbor
hood Youth Corps to the
many wonderful people who
have helped us in numerous
ways. The program has some
short-comings and all of us
involved in it are human and
have made human errors.
Nevertheless, our hearts are in
this work and we are trying
hard to do the best job possi
ble.
We have a fine board of di
rectors in the Newberry-Saluda
Community Action, Inc., and
we appreciate what they have
done for us. Likewise, we are

Clothing Fires Are
Out Of Fashion
The American Medical Asso
ciation has for many years annu
ally warned of the dangers inher
ent in flammable fabrics. There are
many injuries and not a few deaths
every year—mostly in the winter
—from clothing fires.
This winter something new
has been added to this danger-
paper clothing.
Paper clothing—mostly wom
en’s dresses—is so new that as yet
there are few data on the potential
burn dangers.
A top government safety offi
cial warned recently that people
who wear paper clothing risk
burning themselves if they wear it
near an open flame after it has
been laundered, dry-cleaned, or
worn in a soaking rain.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association reports that
approximately 2 million persons
annually are burned severely
enough to require medical atten
tion, and that 100,000 of these re
quire hospital care. About 2,000
Americans die of burns each year.
Far too many of these burn victims
are injured when their clothing
catches fire.
Whether the garment is paper
or cloth, it might ignite if the
wearer gets too close to an open
flame. It’s a temptation to huddle
close to a stove or fireplace on a
cold morning. It also can be fatal.
Simple firescreens or protec
tive shields can eliminate some ot
the danger from open flames.
Check your home today for such
potential hazards. If you find one,
correct it promptly.
Using kerosene or a commer
cial “fire starter” for the fireplace
or barbecue grill also has potential
hazards. If there are hot coals in
the fireplace or grill, the volatile
liquid may flare up or explode,
especially in a closed room.
Little girls' dresses with flimsy,
flaring skirts are obviously a fire
hazard. So are flowing robes and
night gowns. Small boys in their
blue jeans are much safer. But
even jeans will flame up if ignited.
If someone’s clothing catches
fire, roll him on the ground or
floor, using a blanket or a rug to
smother the flames. If the victim
panics and runs, the flames will
flare even higher.
