Job Corps First Step Toward a Fresh Start
Lynda Holvenstot, 18, left school after tenth grade and joined the Job Corps at Excelsior Springs Missouri. After six months she earned a Kirkwood College GED and now works at Rapids Reproductions, praising the program's diverse peer interactions and job training while noting struggles with fights and drug use in a large center. The Carter administration proposes doubling trainees to 100,000 and opening 50 to 70 new centers, funded by a rise in the budget to 487 million. Fred Mumm, Job Corps recruiter for east central Iowa, says placement aims to regional centers with support services provided, and emphasizes voluntary participation and personal development opportunities.

Absolute proof of intelligent life not visiting Earth
A whimsical remark states that the clearest sign of intelligent life elsewhere is that no beings from there have ever chosen to visit Earth, implying humanity’s own visits remain unique. The line treats intelligence as a deterrent to foolish outreach.
