free skateboard area, with no would love it: Published by the Arden Association No. 113 December 1977 "The wheels of justice grind exceeding slow." Does anyone know the origin of the above quotation? It came to me one evening at a Council meeting, but my copy of Partlett does not carry it. The Rosevil]e library helped me hunt also, but we could not chase it down. The librarian there recalled the phrase as being "exceeding slow and fine", but could go no further. Anybody know? At a meeting of the Parks and Recreation committee, one of the members suggested to John Bucklef that we find out how much it would cost to put in a skateboard area at a park in Arden Hills. Poor John turned sort of green and muttered something about insurance. After watching my three boys careen down the driveway all summer on our skateboard, I can well understand his panic. Can you imagine a supervision, and no protective gear required? I bet the kids Press Releases The Northwest Suburban Youth Service Bureau, 2174 North Snelling Avenue in Roseville, has just opened a Youth Employment Project (Y.E.P.) designed to help match interested young people with available permanent, temporary, or odd jobs. Staffed by Charles Lichtenberg and Carolyn Dhaemers, Y.E.P. is now looking for job openings at area businesses and for temporary or odd jobs from area residents.

Lichtenberg also said the main problem is getting a list of job opportunities from local employers, so any of you businessmen that read this, do give this agency a call. A bulletin board of job openings is posted in the Y.E.P. office. There is also inform- ation available there about Vo Tech and the Minnesota Labor Pool. In the "odd" job and babysitting categories, a list of interested youth will be kept on file. Only persons who have completed a Red Cross Child Care Clinic will be listed for babysitting jobs. Help will also be offered to young persons who don't know how to fill out a job application or interview for a position. Knowing how to fill out a job application is not an inborn thing. I heard about one teen-age boy who, when filling out his first job application form, came to the word "spouse". Since he didn't know what that meant, he wrote, "No." Thank goodness.
