be hoped that when this building is
completed arrangements may already
be made to start another.
In like manner in Carthage, simi

ship of the Moore County Board of
Education and under the supervision
of Martin Wicker, are repairing and
refinishing the furniture and build

They started work in the Carthage

NYA projects which are most
highly approved are construction
projects, which offer training and
provide some lasting l?enefit to
youth. Vocational shops, community
buildings, and county owned camp
sites are looked upon favorably. Lo

plans and guarantee to furnish ma
terials.
Mrs. James B. Swett of Southern
Pines is the NYA Supervisor in
Moore County- Last week she had
an opportunity to place these objec-
tives before a joint meeting of the
I County Commissioners and the
County Board of Education. It is
hoped that several localities will avaU
themselves of this opportunity and
that local community leaders will di-
rect their youths to the several agen
cies which make their certification
for this work possible. Mrs. Swett
