One of the many charitable acts _,eace Corps usesthe Place- ment \Test to determine how an applicant can best be utilizes! overseas.The test measures gen- eral aptitude and the ability to learn a language, not education or achievement. (If test scores indicated a limited language- learning ability, for example, tha Peace Corps• tries to place the applicant in an English- speaking country.) The Place- ment Test requires no prepara- tion and is non-competitive— an applicant can neither pass nor fail. The application form, not the Placement Test,'is the most im- portant factor in the selection of Volunteers. Persons interested in serving in the Pa ace Corps must fill out an application, if they have not already done so, and present: it to the tester before taking the test. Applications may be obtained from local post offices or from the Peace Corps, Washington, D. C. The Placement Test takes a- bout. an hour and a half. An op- tional achievement\ test for ap- plicants who have studied French or Spanish requires another hour. CARE Centers to Provide Service In each of the Care Centers presently being established i n Clinton County, under the Com- munity Action Program, a new service will be available to fam- ilies in this area. Under the Cpmmunity Action Program, Homemakers will be selectedfrom area residents (one from each township and the City of Plattsburgh) and trained to go into homes where the mother cannot function due to illness, or is absent due to an emergency. This will enable the family to remain together and the father to continue with his employment during a family crises. The type of woman being sought for Homemaker is a mature wo- man, who~ is understanding and tolerant of others, likes people, is in good physical and mental health, and could function in someone else's disrupted home. She should also have transporta- tion available which is reimbur- sible at 9$ a mile. Once these women have been selected they will receive a train- ing period, to be completed in two weeks. Salary is $1.25 an hour and is paid during the train- ing period as well. that the OES performs is to de- note through Chaplains of the Armed Services in this country and many parts of the world, e- qiupment for the well-being and comfort of our men in the armed services, and m Veterans Hos- pitals m New York State.

Forkey)oi Sciota, celebrated her 81st birthday on Saturday, April 23. A delightful, agile person, Mrs. Barcomb lives alone and keeps an immaculate home without any of the modern conveniences. Her husband, who at one time worked at the Miner Farm in Chazy, died twelve years ago. She had nine children, two of whom died in infancy, and Law- rence and Francis, who died a- bout three years ago, also Oliver, who died thirty-five years ago at the age of twenty-one. Her four living children are: William of York, Pa., Harold of Chazy; Alex of W. Chazy andMrs. Aurel (Dorothy) Trudeau of Ve- rona. There are seven grandchildren and forty great grandchildren. Mrs. Barcomb enjoys good health, but because of failing eyesight, cannot indulge in any of her usual hobbies, of which making quilts was her favorite. She attributes her good health and agility to lots of hard work. God bless you Mrs. Barcomb, and please have many more birthdays, as you are an inspira- tion to many. Upon completion of the train- ing period the Homemaker will be on call and remain with the assigned family for the duration of the emergency. She will be directly responsible to the Di- rector of Homemaker Services. This service will then be avail- able to lower income families who are not financially aisle to hire someone during a family emergency.
