Lack Of Staff Delays Opening Of Job Testing Center
Staffing shortages slow the opening of West Frankfort's testing and counseling office for a $2,149,600 job retraining program. Dale Dillard prepares the Elks Club office while a coordinator is hired. The center will centralize testing, with adjacent offices already testing locals. Initial funds under the Manpower Training and Development Act aim to test 1,000 unemployed in Franklin and Williamson counties, with more to follow as eligibility expands.

Jobs Corps Aid Sought for Crab Orchard Refuge Camp
Backers of free camping at Crab Orchard Lake push for a Jobs Corps site in the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge to fund camp improvements. If the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act passes, a conservation camp and training center for dropouts and underprivileged youth could be located there as part of the War on Poverty. Sen Grindle seeks road work and tree removal by youths to improve south shore campsites while opponents fear future camping fees. Campers explore a fundraising group as an alternative. Department policy blocks major improvements in fee areas due to upkeep costs, with a $1.25 nightly fee planned for the north shore ramping unit.
