Job Corps has an important story to tell. It is a story that has
been told through this Exhibition in New York and in Chicago. [In

fact, only ten cities of the nation have been selected as exhibition

points, so Atlanta is in elite company.

leading national corporations bringing this graphic report to

business centers of the United States.

This is another forward step for Scripto, long associated with
community progress. We are delighted that Arthur Harris, President

about this effort.
