C. Varied ^ork Being Done On Number Of Public* Projects (Continued from page one) North Carolina, our public schools stood at the bottom of the list WPA is remedying this condition through the matron's service project. Matrons are assigned to schools to keep the rest rooms clean, and to administer first aid and care for sick children. In Martin County sixteen women are caring for twenty-five rest rooms used by 3.319 children. Prob ably no project operated by WPA will have such lasting influence on the health and morals of school chil dren In the field of community service projects, which include library, adult education, recreation, music and art. all but the last two named are op crating in Martin County. For the past three years the li bra! v services extended to the cit izens of Martin County have been through the WPA library project. During this time the Williamston high school library has made rapid strides under Die watchful eyes of i Mrs. Gladys Brewer This library has [added 468 books, has been complete ly organized and all the records have !>??< n bfOMght up to date The Wil liamston public library was started under this project and has Income a very'valuable asset to our commun ity. It now has 838 borrowers with an average circulation of 1338 books per month In addition to these two units we are operating the library in the Jamesville high school an^ the Parmele colored school. The out standing event of the project has been the demonstration of the coun ty-wide library service through the bookmobile which has operated in our county for the past two months. This service cost Martin County less than $25 per month for the actual operating exp? use ?>f th.- truck. The bookmobile. book collection and workers were furnished by WPA. The circulation averaged approxi mately 200 books per day. with a to tal circulation of 8,310 books. The people of the county have greatly en joyed this service and it is hoped that the county will avail itself of this service soon a gal n "Ahbtfibr ?

The adult education project em ploys two teachers who are holding classes in literacy, hoiliciiiaking and citizenship, with approximately 126 indents enrolled?I''"^ pr<>p>rt unlimited value in preserving our human resources. The recreation program in Martin County operates in Williamston and Rubersonviltc where 13 maintenance and recreation leaders maintain play areas and recreation centers and club ?immis and' conduct and promote recreational activities which reached approximately 4.950 white and 1800 colored participants' during the month of March. 1940 Activities in cluded games, sports, crafts, music, drama, rhrbs and special events. Recreation aims at the intelligent use of leisure time for all age groups. It is not what we do while we work, but what we do when we are not at work that gives tone and culture to our lives. The professional and service divi sion of WPA throqgh its research and records project catalogues, files, and indexes, records for county and city offices, such as births, deaths, marriages, mortgages, deeds and wills There is considerable work of this typo which could be done Th" Martin County and Martin County can have as much or as little done as the relief labor situation and the interest of the community will al low. We invite each and all of you to visit these various projects and de cide for yourself what material, so cial and cultural benefits Martin County has received from them.
