"Negative taken for March 23, 1965, Arkansas Gazette article "Job Corps Center Ceremony Stirs Depression Memories," B1:2. The first Job Corps Conservation Center in the south was opened in the Ouachita National Forest west of Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas. The Ouachita Civilian Conservation Center is a program to educate youths between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one for work that they currently are inadequately trained. Ralph Kunz, a career National Forest Service employee, will direct the center. The Job Corps is part of the Office of Economic Opportunity. United States Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman (1918-2003) and Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus (1910-1994) spoke to several hundred persons at the opening ceremony. Airline Mobile Home Corporation in Cabot, Lonoke County, Arkansas, built the prefabricated barracks and other buildings for the center, which will also use facilities constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s."
