Volunteer Youth
Workers Needed

Organizing as a committee for youth
leadership, representatives Of private
and public group work and recreation
agencies have SIT out TO enroll new
volunteers willing to act as club lead
erS. Under the Craftsmanship of Mrs
j. Gartner of the Family Pro ective
Association Girls club, mt anbers of the
Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, Girl Re
serves, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army,
lMCA, and WyandOtte Departments, of
recreation are planning a city wide
campaign for youth lead5TS through
the civilian defense registration pro
gram.
In times like this when mainten-
anoe OF normal home life is essential
ut all costs, yet gravely difficult, the
necessity To continue and expand the
services ITO the youth of the cOmmun-
lty Is greater than ever" said Mrs
Gstrtner. To accomplish this, the agen-
cless in the field need many volunteers
from WyandUtte, who are willing TO
devote some time 10 guiding the prO-
per normal growth of our young peO-
pie"
a special meeting Of all those inter
eS' ed in group leadership has been call
Ell for Wednesday, March IL at ON.
In THE city hal Council chambers.
Those who have previously registered
through the civilian defense registra
ton as volunteer group leaders have
been invited TO attend this meetinx 10
itarn of the increased need for their
services. 1t is hoped that many men
and women who have not yet vOlun-
teered will avail themselves of this Cd
pOrtunlty to learn Of the desperate
needs for leadership in the guidance
OF their children's activities.
ANY man or woman 81 years ur old
er may volunteer his or her services
us group leader. No special training
is required, merely desire to work
with adOlesscentS and an interest In
tire problems of young America. The
work with young people is not diff
cult and their problems keep the group
worker young herself, according 10
Mrs. Gartner.
The committee for youth Leads rship
has planned a leadership training
course for all volunteer leaders who
have or will register through the civil
ian defense office as group leaders
Specialist in child phychology, leisure
time activities, and similar fields will
