"Youth, Incorporated" to pro
vide spare time Jobs for
youngsters 13 to IS yean old
was started this week at a
meeting in Medford.
About 40 people, most of
them mothers, helped select
a partial steering committee
and decided to appoint addi
tional representatives of var
ious geographical areas of the
country.
Basically, the organization
will be patterned after simi
lar ones in large cities which
locate jobs for teenagers, keep
job records and provide adult
supervision and guidance. A
junior steering committee con
sisting of teenagers selected
will function under the adult ed a centrally located down
committee. I town office, office furniture
donated. Bill Stamps, Med
ford, acting chairman, urged
the group to expedite their
organization to be ready when
school closes in June.
"The problem will be in
creating jobs, not in getting
the youngsters to work," he
predicted.
An attorney will be asked
to voluntarily work out the
legalities of the organization.
The teenage participants will
set up their own rules, the
group generally agreed. A
small membership fee will be
charged to help offset ex
penses. John Crabb, distributive
