A special Rent-A-Kid day will be held on Saturday to benefit the Community Little Theatre/Moscow Exchange project. The project will provide the many teen-agers connected with Community Little Theatre of Auburn a means of earning money to help fund the youth theater exchange between the Class Centre of Music and Dramatic Arts in Moscow and CLT. The “kids” will be available on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to do various jobs, such as raking, sweeping, babysitting, acting as a parent’s helper, washing windows, cleaning cars, cleaning garages and attics, doing household chores, or running errands. The charge will be $5 an hour, and the teen-agers must be hired in pairs.
