The group discussed the value of a survey of the re si~ents

s uggestions as to how to conduc;:t such a survey including:
a.
A professional survey

A survey carried out by amateurs (such as the EOA

their problems more freely with this group than

Community meetings with members of the Board

It was suggested that a fulltime staff and budget be recommended
as part of a permanent Human Relations Commission. It was
agreed that the City should have one person responsible for all
needs and activity in this field.
Sinc e most of the discussion c entered around the problems of housing,
it was suggested that Federal authorities from the D e partment of

discussed the role of the committee and possible activities and programs
to be accomplished.
Some of the suggested programs or improvements included:
(1) Alderman Farris suggested an ordinance by the Board of
Aldermen prohibiting building of houses on unpaved streets.
(2) The group discussed a demonstration project whereby a
small area (perhaps a city block) in disadvantaged neigh-
borhoods could be completely cleared and inexpensive
but substantial single family dwellings built back as rental
property or as purchase property. As one area is
completed the program would then move to another area
rather than taking in the large sections as under the present
urban renewal programs.
(3) Mr. Massell suggested that a listing of problems anda
schedule of priority of needs be compiled and suggested
the Atlanta Chapter of the National Association for Inter-
Group Relations Officials be contacted to obtain their
recommendations.

Here are sample comments received from employers:
INLAND STEEL CO., East Chicago, Indiana : Job Corps graduates currently
on our rolls have demonstrated good work abilities and habits. They · are
most cooperative and industrious, and reflect only credit on their training
in the Job Corps.
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, INC., Attleboro, Massachusetts : We have but one
regret in hiring John- we wish we hired ten more like him . John is extremely well regarded and mixes very well with his associates.
Job Corps is the Office of Economic Opportunity's voluntary program of
human renewal and work readiness. To accomplish its purpose , Job Corps
seeks lo comp ensate youngsters for a childhood spent in social , economic,
and educational deprivation .
Job Corps teaches basic reading and mathematics skills to youth who
cannot read a simple sentence or solve a second -grade arithmetic problem .
Job Corps offers guidance to young men and women who genera Ily have
come from broken homes, with little in the way of adult supervision or
control.
Job Corps offers medical and dental care for its members-the majority
of whom have had no previous contact with a doctor or dentist.
Job Corps teaches vocational and employment skills to youth who not
only have never held jobs, but who also lack the ability to find jobs.
Job Corps teaches the importance of respect and responsibility to youth
who have become bitter and hostile as a result of their deprivation .
Job Corps shows young people that differences and problems are better
resolved by democratic processes than by viol ence.
Job Corps provides the alternative of productive and responsible citizen~h_ip for thousands who might otherwise have· known continued poverty ,
illiteracy, unemployment, and delinquency.

you are to be commended . You are doing a very necessary and excellent job .
ST. MARGARET HOSPITAL, Kansas City , Kansas : J. is doing quite well.
Her job knowledge is good , her relationship with co-workers excellent. She
is neat and anxious to cooperate . If you have other trainees like J., I would
like to- hire tflem .
IBM, San Jose, California : We have employed 23 Job Corps graduates and
in general are quite satisfied . We feel that Corpsmen make good employees
and have a very good attitude toward their work and learning.
NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION, Chicago : The 16 boys we re ceived from Job Corps have all been placed in food service positions in
Chicago and suburban areas . All employers, as well as fellow workers,
show complete satisfaction with the boys' ability and eagerness to learn .
UNI -ROYAL INC ., Joliet, Illinois: Our experience in employing Job Corps
graduates has been excellent. They have made steady progress and in some
cases received promotions. They have impressed me with their cooperation
and willingness to abide by company rules and policies , and their desire to
succeed . They have intense loyalty to the Job Corps and show a determination to make good so the road might be easier for other graduates.

Job Corps is a unique partnership of Federal, state, and local governments, of private enterprise , trade unions, universities, social agencies,
and community groups. The 93 Job Corps conservation centers are operated
on public lands by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior, and
by four states. The 28 urban and 3 special centers, located generally at
unused military bases or leased private facilities , are operated under
contract by 18 large companies , seven universities, Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, The Texas Educalional Foundation , Inc., and the Young Women's
Christian Association . Job Corps trainees are helped to find jobs by the
U. S. Department of Labor, and the state employment services. Two
voluntary agencies, Women In Community Service (WICS) and Joint
Action for Community Service (JACS), help trainees adjust to community life and stick with their jobs. WICS also recruits for Job Corps,
as does the AFL-CIO .

Youngsters enter a residential, educational, and work-skill training
program that is without parallel in American education . At the 124 Job
Corps centers, the program includes : individual tutoring and counseling,
both formal and informal; trained staff to supervise and help enrollees 24
hours a day and on weekends; special new self-instructional materials to
help enrollees move along at their own speed; modern equipment, donated
by business firms, to teach modern vocational skills.
who comes to Job Corps?
Young men and women between the ages of 16 and 22, who are out of
school, unable to find an adequate job, and in need of a change of environment to become useful and productive citizens-these are the young people
who come to Job Corps.
Six of every 10 come from broken homes; 63 percent from homes where
the head of the household was unemployed; 60 percent live in substandard
housing; 64 percent have been asked to leave school; 80 percent have not
seen a doctor or dentist in 10 years. Only about 60 percent ever helcj a job,
full or part-time, and their average annual salary was $639. More than half
of the male recruits of draft age are unfit for military serv.ice for educational
or health reasons.
A youngster entering Job Corps has a reading and math ability of about
fifth grade, on the average, even though he or she has completed nine years
of school. More than 30 percent of new enrollees cannot read or write.
Most enrollees have never slept between sheets, never shared a bedroom
with only one other. Some have never had electric lights. Almost all have
developed an acute resistance to conventional schooling.
For every 10 months spent in Job Corps, the average youngster gains one
and one-half grade levels in reading, and almost two grade levels in
mathematics. Similar gains are made in vocational training.
Job Corps members grow accustomed to early rising, to regular hours,
to daily exercise and sports. They learn how to get along with all kinds of
people- both in Job Corps, and outside. They develop good work habits
and a new sense of responsibility . They find direction, a "way to go."
Job Corps is the Office of Economic Opportunity's voluntary program of
human renewal and work readiness . To accomplish its purpose, Job Corps
seeks to compensate youngsters for a childhood spent in social , economic,
and educational deprivation .
Job Corps teaches basic reading and mathematics skills to youth who
cannot read a simple sentence or solve a second-grade arithmetic problem .
Job Corps offers guidance to young men and women who generally have

resolved by democratic processes than by violence.
Job Corps provides the alternative of productive and responsible citizenship for thousands who might otherwise have· known continued poverty ,
illiteracy , unemployment, and delinquency.

what happens in Job Corps?
where do they go from Job Corps?
In its first three years, Job Corps has touched the lives of 165,000 young
people . Otthe 124,000 who have gone through the program , 70 percent are
making constructive use of the education and training they received in
Job Corps. Over 69,000 have taken jobs, earning an average of $1.70 an
hour; 10,600 have gone back to school or on to college; and 8,800 are
serving in the armed forces .
Among the present employers of Job Corps trainees are Campbell Soup,
Western Electric, Chrysler, Ford, Avco, Lockheed , Sears, Honeywell ,
General Electric, Liberty Mutual, United Air Lines, DuPont, Cessna Aircraft, Continental Baking, Safeway, Burroughs, IBM, ITT, Consolidated
Edison, AMPEX, General Motors, Uni-Royal.
These paintings are by-products of what many consider the most significant
function of Job Corps : setting free the individual's basic ability to learn . They are
by Corps members from all over the country, young men and women training for
many different kinds of jobs.
To become independent and responsible citizens in today's society , Corps
members must first learn to understand and appreciate themselves and the
world about them . In Job Corps they have this chance through a broad spectrum
of learning experiences, including art. An elective activity, Job Corps' art
program has helped develop bright new confidence in thousands of young people
by giving them their first sense of accomplishment. This exhibition is tangible
proof of what can happen when creative and learning capabilities are unlocked .
Sixteen of the private organizations which operate Job Corps centers under
contract to OEO have made this ~xhibition possible.
They are:
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Avco Corporation
Brunswick Corporation
Burroughs Corporation
Delta Education Corporation
General Learning Corporation
International Business Machines Corporation
International Telephone & Telegraph c·orporatlon

�contributions to the nation
Even while training, Job Corpsmen are contributing to national betterment.
In improving the Nation's forests, parks, and grasslands, they have performed conservation work worth $38,000,000 to the Nation. Corpsmen have
built and maintained 4900 miles of roads, thousands of picnic tables,
fireplaces and parking spaces. They have developed and improved 76 miles
of fishing streams and 16,500 acres of fish and wildlife habitat. They have
planted 15,900 acres of trees and shrubs, and improved and reforested
12,800 acres of timber.
Forty-four young men at a Job Co,ps center near Oakland, Calif.,
all found Jobs in the same company last week-as U.S. Army
paratroopers. T he 44, nearly all from poor f amilies, volunteered as a
unit, and have been assigned to a special platoon at Fort Lewis,
W ash.,jor basic training. Probably because of their stint at the Job
Corps center, they averaged several points higher than the norm on the
induction test. W ithout that added education, said R ecruiting
Sergeant Darryl Adkins-himself a veteran paratrooper- only one
out of four might have qualified for the airborne elite.
-from T I M E, November 3, 1967
In time of disaster and danger, Corpsmen have labored around the clock
- fighting fires, restoring flood-damaged areas, assisting in tornado clean up, and conducting search and rescue missions.
service to lo~al communities
Corpsmen and women also volunteer their leisure time and services in
dozens of projects that benefit their host communities. They work with the
handicapped, sponsor Little League baseball teams, donate evening time
at homes for the aged. Some work with retarded youngsters, others shop for
elderly people of the neighborhood. Several women's centers operate
nursery schools for local children.
Corps members paint ambulances and community recreation centers,
construct wheelchair tables for paraplegics at veterans hospitals, build
furniture for youngsters enrolled in Head Start,-collect and repair toys for
needy children.
All Job Corps centers contribute to such public causes as the March of
Dimes, the American Red Cross, United Fund, the Muscular Dystrophy
Association , United Cerebral Palsy, the Salvation Army.
contribution to public education
What Job Corps has learned about educating the school dropout is being
applied in public school systems across the Nation, with the aim of helping
to keep troubled youngsters in school as long as possible.
I have virited over 25 Job Corps Centers and know the tremendous
value this program is to the under-privileged y outh of our_country. I
would like to personally help make this, their "last chance," a
success.
- Archie M oore, former boxing champion
The interchange of teaching methods and materials between Job Corps
and the public schools began in the summer of 1966, when 21 teachers from
Seattle, Simi Valley(a Los Angeles suburb), Detroit, and Washington, D.C.,
took up year-long posts as staff members in four Job Corps conservation
centers. At year-end, the teachers returned to their school systems to
introduce Job Corps methods -and materials in-local classrooms.
During the 1967-68 school year, 17 teachers from 11 urban school systems
are teaching and learning in Job Corps centers.

Job Corps is a unique partnership of Federal, state, and local govern-
ments, of private enterprise, trade unions, universities, social agencies,
and community groups. The 93 Job Corps conservation centers are operated
on public lands by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior, and
by four states. The 28 urban and 3 special centers, located generally at
unused military bases or leased private facilities, are operated under
contract by 18 large companies, seven universities, Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, The Texas Educational Foundation, Inc., and the Young Women's
Christian Association. Job Corps trainees are helped to find jobs by the
U. S. Department of Labor, and the state employment services. Two
voluntary agencies, Women In Community Service (WICS) and Joint
Action for Community Service (JACS), help trainees adjust to commu-
nity life and stick with their jobs. WICS also recruits for Job Corps,
as does the AFL-CIO.
who comes to Job Corps?
Young men and women between the ages of 16 and 22, who are out of
school, unable to find an adequate job, and in need of a change of environ-
ment to become useful and productive citizens—these are the young people
who come to Job Corps.
Six of every 10 come from broken homes; 63 percent from homes where
the head of the household was unemployed; 60 percent live in substandard
housing; 64 percent have been asked to leave school; 80 percent have not
seen a doctor or dentist in 10 years. Only about 60 percent ever held a job,
full or part-time, and their average annual salary was $639. More than half
of the male recruits of draft age are unfit for military service for educational
or health reasons,
A youngster entering Job Corps has a reading and math ability of about
fifth grade, on the average, even though he or she has completed nine years
of school. More than 30 percent of new enrollees cannot read or write.
Most enrollees have never slept between sheets, never shared a bedroom
with only one other. Some have never had electric lights. Almost all have
developed an acute resistance to conventional schooling.
what happens in Job Corps?
Youngsters enter a residential, educational, and work-skill training
program that is without parallel in American education. At the 124 Job
Corps centers, the program includes: individual tutoring and counseling,
both formal and informal; trained staff to supervise and help enrollees 24
hours a day and on weekends; special new self-instructional materials to
help enrollees move along at their own speed; modern equipment, donated
by business firms, to teach modern vocational skills.
For every 10 months spent in Job Corps, the average youngster gains one
and one-half grade levels in reading, and almost two grade levels in
mathematics. Similar gains are made in vocational training.
Job Corps members grow accustomed to early rising, to regular hours,
to daily exercise and sports. They learn how to get along with all kinds of
people—both in Job Corps, and outside. They develop good work habits
and a new sense of responsibility. They find direction, a “way to go.”
where do they go from Job Corps?
In its first three years, Job Corps has touched the lives of 165,000 young
people. Of the 124,000 who have gone through the program, 70 percent are
making constructive use of the education and training they received in
Job Corps. Over 69,000 have taken jobs, earning an average of $1.70 an
hour; 10,600 have gone back to school or on to college; and 8,800 are
serving in the armed forces.
Among the present employers of Job Corps trainees are Campbell Soup,
Western Electric, Chrysler, Ford, Avco, Lockheed, Sears, Honeywell,
General Electric, Liberty Mutual, United Air Lines, DuPont, Cessna Air-
craft, Continental Baking, Safeway, Burroughs, IBM, ITT, Consolidated
Edison, AMPEX, General Motors, Uni-Royal.

Even while training, Job Corpsmen are contributing to national better-
ment.
In improving the Nation's forests, parks, and grasslands, they have per-
formed conservation work worth $38,000,000 to the Nation. Corpsmen have
built and maintained 4900 miles of roads, thousands of picnic tables,
fireplaces and parking spaces. They have developed and improved 76 miles
of fishing streams and 16,500 acres of fish and wildlife habitat. They have
planted 15,900 acres of trees and shrubs, and improved and reforested

Some of the suggested programs or improvements included:
(1) Alderman Farris suggested an ordinance by the Board
of Aldermen prohibiting building of houses on unpaved atre ts.
(2) The group discussed a demonstration project whereby
a
mall area (perhaps a city block) in the di advantaged neighborhood

HUMAN RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Members of the Human Relations Committee met at City Hall
on Friday, September 9, 1966, at 2:30 p.m, with the following
members present:
Alderman Milton Farris
Mr. Charles Hart
Vice Mayor Sam Massell, Jr., Acting Chairman
Alderman G. Everett Millican
Mrs, Eliza Paschall
Mrs. Dorothy Bolder Thompson
Rev. Samuel Williams
Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison for
the City of Atlanta, was also present.
The meeting was called for the purpose of organization of
the committee. However, due to the fact that a quorum was not
present, it was agreed to postpone this for a future meeting. The
group then discussed the role of the committee and possible
activities and programs to be accomplished.
Some of the suggested programs or improvements included:
(1) Alderman Farris suggested an ordinance by the Board
of Aldermen prohibiting building of houses on unpaved streets.
(2) The group discussed a demonstration project whereby
a emmall area (perhaps a city block) in the disadvantaged neighborhoods
could be completely cleared and inexpensive but substantial single
family dwellings built back as rental property or as purchase
property. As one area is completed the program would then move
to another area rather than taking in the large sections as under the
present urban renewal programs.
(3) Mr. Massell suggested that a listing of problems and a
schedule of priority of needs be compiled and suggested the Atlanta
Chapter of the National Association for Inter-Group Relations
Officials be contacted to obtain their recommendations.
(4) The group discussed the value of a survey of the residents
of the disadvantaged areas to determine what they feel are their
greatest needs and problems. There were many suggestions as to
how to conduct such a survey including:
a) <A professional survey
b) <A survey carried out by amateurs (such as the
EOA Neighborhood Aides) as the people might
discuss their problems more freely with this
group than with professional persons
c) Community meetings with members of the Board
of Aldermen
(5) It was suggested that a fulltime staff and budget be
recommended as part of a permanent Human Relations Commission.
It was agreed that the City should have one person responsible for
all needs and activity in this fedld. The people of these communities
would then know where to go with their problems and have confidence
that their needs will be handled by this office.
Since most of the discussion centered around the problems of
housing, it was suggested that Federal authorities from the Department
of Housing and Urban Development be asked to attend the next meeting
to explain their programs and the services this department can render
in solving this problem.
Mrs. Paschall agreed to review the material and information
obtained from the U. S. Conference of Mayors and the Civil Rights
Commission on the Human Relations Commissions of other cities
and prepare a brief summary for the members of the committee.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:40 p.m. with the next meeting
scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 1966, at 2:30 p.m.

The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sir:
We, the members of the Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Council
of the Sunnnerhill-Mechanicsville area, are deeply concerned
about the recent demonstrations reflecting the need for more
recreational facilities. We believe that the recommendations
proposed by the citiz~ns group convened by Mr. Bennie Smith on
Thursday, the 27th of July would be effective steps toward
removing the causes of an unrest.
We, therefore, go on record in support of the following:
I o That the May~r and Board of Aldermen be urged to
appoint a Human Relations Commission, with power
and a paid staff, for the purpose of acting upon
matters which need attention in neighborhoods and that
"grass roots" representation be included in the
appointments.
II.
That all leaders be asked to use their influence
to suspend demonstrations until the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen could act on the recommendation,
Monday, August 1, 1966 .
Very truly yours,

Dear Mayor Allen:
On July 21, 1966, a meeting of community leaders was held at
the Price High School Community Center that had as its major
objective that of discussing problems that are prevailing in the
City of Atlanta. Another major objective of this meeting was to
determine if problems prevalent in the Atlanta community could be
resolved without unnecessary hardships being placed on citizens of
this community.
After a lengthy discussion of prevailing problems and subsequent
suggestions for solutions to the problems, the group as sembled
decided that a resolution should be passed which would request the
Mayor and Aldermanic Board t o establish a human relations office
with direc t re spons ibilities t o aid in resolving problems that are
prevailing in our city .
It is the sincere desire of many c itizens of the Atlanta a rea that
such a director and such an office be commissioned as early as possible so that this office can begin work on preventing burdensome
problems from oc curring . I am therefore sending this letter at this .
time to remind you t o bring this matter before the Aldermanic Board.
