Funds for Boys Dorm on TimOr Island
Is Relief Project of HUe Churches

She is a sister of Paul Emmert,
Bluffton, and they have spoken
before local congregations in
this community.
Mr.. Kingsley has pointed out
that young boys are brought
from various parts of the island
for training in agriculture. He
says, parts of inland Timor are
starvation areas largely because
traditional agricultural methods
which are unproductive hold a
grip on the people"
The small island has a protest
ant church of about 100000. This
aid offered by the Mennonite Cen
traT committee is an effort to
help these people help them
selves.
Members of the committee for
the July August project are:

Current occupational informa-

students through semi-monthly
guidance publications. In addi.
ton students see films which
show men and women at work,
or they observe and talk with
college students and workers
themselves. Every community is
a laboratory of educational and

ton. You can see what reaction
you might get if anyone sug-
gested that the first student be-
come a librarian.
In helping boys and girls with
educational and vocational plan
ming, counselors and teachers
have to begin many times. with
these distorted pictures. As soon
as possible, they introduce stu
dents to reliable forms of in
formation. Even then boys and
girls may not wish to accept the
information and instead may
make only minor changes in
their attitudes.
Counselors and teachers need
more knowledge and skill to use
information than most people
recognize. Once again it is i'm
portant to emphasize that coun-
selling can help students under
stand how their needs can be
met in school, at work, and dur
ing leisure-time. The opportu-
nifty for students to talk over
their attitudes toward school
achievement, vocational aspira-
tions, and how they plan to-
make the best possible use of
their talents cannot be stressed
too much. They should be en-.
|couraged to start a collection of
helpful occupational information
when they enter high school.
This practice should be contin-
ued until graduation.
A typical counselor's day de-
mandS considerable knowledge,
as well as resources of informa-
tion, if he is to satisfy all in
quiries by students and parents.
Cal is soon leaving junior high
school and must choose among
various senior high curricula
and subjects. AS he prepares to
make these choices, he wants in
formation about the curricula
and what he can do with each
one. He may also want rather
definite information about the
content of the school subjects in
these curricula. Because he in-
tends to graduate from senior
high school, he must understand
the graduation requirements.
Marsha is about ready to
graduate from high school. Over
a period of time she has been
thinking about three possibili-
ties after high school: beauti-
clan school, airline hostess train.
ing, and nurses training. She
has needed much information,
such as description of the occu-
pations themselves, the kinds
and descriptions of schools and
training available, as well as
how she could best use her high
school program to prepare for
them,
Henry has wanted to 60 into

He was searching for training in

many reserve and enlistment
programs were carefully exam

cruiting officers.
Joan has taken a college prep
course. She has been undecided
about attending a small college
or a large university. She want
ed information concerning en-
trance requirements, cost, kinds
lof courses and instruction avail
able, housing facilities, and 9TH
er resources. 1t was largely a
matter Of weighing one school
against another, visiting a cou-
pie of them, and finding the one
which would best meet her
needs. Furthermore, she even
tually wanted information and
help in completing admission
blanks.
While in high school, Russell
developed an interest in the
printing trades, taking the print

In this third article of a series
on vocational guidance, we are
putting the spotlight on the i'm
portance of knowing something
about the educational and voca-
tional worlds which surround all
of us. Because we come in daily
contact with part of these
worlds, it is easy to form opin.
ions without seeing the total pic
ture. Or because we cannot see
all the opportunities, we assume
that there are none.
What is it about a job that
pleases you or causes you to be
unhappy about it? Your answer
and that of your neighbor would
probably be quite different.
One farmer says, "I like farm
ing-it's out-of-doors and a heal
thy job" Another disagrees.
"Farming's OK, but the outside
work is the worst part of it
and it's unhealthy, too"
Students also show different
reactions to school and work. II
is important that sound career
planning does not overlook this
fact. Students need reliable in
formation about schools and
jobs. They also need chance to
talk over how they. feel about
schools and jobs in relationship
to their own growing interests,
talents, and personality.
For many years, ! have had
some fun talking to adolescents
about occupations. Interestingly
enough many of them have def
mite notions. Workers in some
of the occupations, though,
might not always like these
opinions. And their statements if
these impressions are common
to many adolescents may ex-
plain why it is tough to find
new recruits for the occupations.
Three recent comments were:
when / think of librarians,
] always think of a quiet, mousy
little person sitting in a pile of
books and answering foolish
questions"
"When I think Of a scientist,
] think of sort of an odd guy
tooling around with test tubes,
not paying much attention to
anything else"
when. I think of a college
professor, / think of some alb
sent-minded character trying to
cut his front lawn with a va
cuum cleaner"
Anyone who has observed lie
brarians, scientists, and college
professors at work would know
that these descriptions were
not based upon careful study.
Instead they were pictures
which these adolescents deveI-|
oped without reliable informa.I

A. There are several very effec-
tive drugs which physicians use
IN treating pinworm infestation.
However, just taking medicine
isn't enough. Measures must be
employed to prevent reinfection.
The following suggestions might
be kept in mind for all members
of the family. Trim fingernaiIs
short and scrub hands after
toilet and before meals. Clean
and air linens and beddings daily.
Use separate wash cloths and
towels for face and body. Boil
washable toys. Vacuum bedrooms
and give shower bath or stand-up
bath daily. Children or adults
with pinworms should, of course,
be under a doctors care.
