WPA Locks Up And Goes Home 130 Millions Turned Back To Treasury Washington, June 30. ? Th{ Works Project Administration (WPA) turned back $130,000, 000 to the treasury today and went out of existence. Only a small "liquidation staff" of the depression-born relief agency remained at the end, get ting records and accounts into shape for a final report on its operations. The records will show, officials said, that WPA spent some $10, 500,000,000 and employed 8, 500.000 persons from its incep tion in 1935. The turnover to the treasury, they said, was $105,000,000 in unexpended funds and $25,000, 000 in supplies and materials. o FLYING EVENTS A-C David H. Brackett gave a remarkable performance in winning the "Hurdle Stage" event in which the contestants have to clear an eight-foot "hurdle" and land as close to it as possible. ArC C. G. Johnson amply de monstrated his flying ability by winning the "Accuracy Landing Stage" event. In this event, which requires precision flying, the cadets try to land at a designated "spot" on the field ? using a 180 degree side approach. ? Pee Dee Advocate, Bennettsville, S. C. It will be interesting to Frank lin County friends of Flight In structor J. Linwood Gupton, to know that the two Cadets men tioned above were students of Mr. Gupton and that of sixteen contesting in the field day exer cises they were the only two who won prizes. This speaks very com plimentary of Mr. Gupton's abili ty in training his students. *" Patronize TIMES Advertlier* o ?
