Last year, real estate agents
throughout Oregon and S.W.
Washington sold 792 HUD homes.
They sold them to first-time home
buyers, to repeat home buyers and to
investor home buyers.
And the best part was that each
and every home buyer got a good,
honest value.
So if you're looking for a truly
affordable home, ask your real estate
agent about HUD homes in your area.

Youth Training Opportunities
□ Highway Safety
Program creates jobs for
’At-Risk’ youth___________
to maintain landscaping along
highway right-of-ways and to
clear brush and small trees that
can cause safety problems for
motorists. Vegetation can ob­
scure road signs, block drainage
and ditches, reduce sight distance
and prevent sunlight from melting
frost or ice on the highway. Be­
fore the program was initiated
last summer, the Highway Divi­
sion did not have the staff power
to keep up with the fast-growing
vegetation.
early 150 low-income and
“ at-risk” youth will have jobs
this summer clearing brush
maintaining landscaping along
state highways in the Portland
area. The program is a joint effort
of the Oregon State Highway Divi­
sion, the Private Industry Council
and the Multnomah County Juve­
nile Court.
The workers, between the ages
of 16 and 21, are referred by the
court and the Private Industry
Council, which pays their wages
of $3.85 an hour.
The program, now in its second
year, is a valuable training oppor­
tunity for the young people and a
benefit for the taxpayers, accord­
ing to D is tric t M aintenance
Supervisor Dave Willhite, who
oversees the program for the
Highway Division.
"It allows us to do important
work we couldn’t afford to do with
our own people. The motorists
are getting a double benefit of
having their roads cleaned up and
getting kids off the street doing a
valuable job," said Willhite.
The youth crews are assigned

strate the best work skills will be
