Many young men and women in North Phyongan Province volunteered for major worksites of socialist construction.

Discharged soldiers in Jongju City, Kwaksan, Thaechon and Kujang counties requested the youth league organizations to send them to difficult and labour-consuming sectors, pledging to play a vanguard and core role in the effort for carrying out the new five-year plan.

Youths in Changsong, Yomju and Unsan counties volunteered as farmers in the countryside. Those in Tongnim, Tongchang, Sonchon, Nyongbyon, Phihyon and Taegwan counties volunteered for the county construction brigades in their regions.

Many young people in the province also applied for jobs at the raw materials base stations.

A meeting was held on July 5 to congratulate the volunteers.

At the meeting attended by Yang Myong Chol, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, officials concerned, youth league officials, youth and students, certificates of volunteering were awarded to the volunteers and a congratulatory address and resolution-making speeches were made.

Officials, youth and students presented bouquets to the volunteers and saw them off.
