The main result of the work of the Extension Agent and Employment Counselor, with the help of the county exten sion staff, is to make employ ment services locally orien ted Also programs of many agencies, heretofore thought inapplicable to rural areas have been introduced and are succeeding because of the genuine interest of the local citizens. Employment news articles have been, and will be. ap pearing in each counties' newspaper and an estimated 20 percent of all of the resi dents of the area have been met bv the Extension Agent and Employment Counselor. It is hoped that all citizens will know of, and comment on this program. Your local Exten sion staff will be glad to ans wer any questions.
