who are qualified for new fields
of work are in demand, the spe-
cialist says.
Planners for rural youth must
consider that occupations change
as new jobs develop and old ones
disappear. These resulting new
occupations are more complex.
Three ways which might help
change the levels achieved by
young people, Miss Reynolds says,
are:
1. Improve schools, particular-
ly the guidance services, to help
reduce the effects of geographic
isolation.
2. Work to motivate able
youth who hold low occupational
and educational goals.
Help rural youth and their
parents face the facts of farm
and industrial opportunity.

Cuba. Even when the boy fell in
vnth some ruthless gangs the
Jhcle tried to help him.
At one time the boy was under
the influence of a ruthless lead-
er by the name of Batista. The
uncle continued to try to help
the boy, though he did not like
the way that the leader was
hurting him and his employees.
Finally, the son could take no
more . and he chased the evil
leader away. But he then fell un-
der the influence of another
ruthless leader, named Fidel
Khruschev. The uncle’s friends
were terrified. They advised Un-
cle Sam to destroy Fidel Khru-
schev at any cost, even if it
meant killing the boy, Cuba.
They had not suggested this
when the boy was led by other
evil men, but they were scared
of Fidel Kruschev because they
thought he was so much stronger
than Uncle Sam was. They be-
lieved that Fidel Khruschev was
going to live forever and they
did not want him standing by
to bury them when they died.
All the 'boy’s South American
friends sat by and watched. They
said, “If that Uncle Sam would
destroy his own beloved nephew
because of his weakness and fear
of Fidel Khruschev, then we want
nothing to do with him. We’d
rather have Khruschev.”
Bridal showers honoring Mrs.
Larry Thomas Woodson, the
former Miss Mary Mahan, were
