fourth civil service district, spoke

sixteen; however for the depart
mental examinations the applicant
must be eighteen or over.

Washington, D. C., and field service
is done in all other places.
Miss Ames stated that she would
try to have the field examinations
given in GHS to those who are

Speakers Say:
Mr. James Butler, Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce told of
the possibilities and opportunities
open for different jobs in Golds
boro. The open fields, in Mr. But
ler’s opinion, are office law, bank
ing positions, and social service.
Mr. Harold Jeters, district Super
visor of the NYA, explained two
possible programs under the NYA,
organized to train young people to
be more efficient workers. One is
the concentrated program given at
home, and the other is the training
given in a training camp where life
is like that in college. The average
person can finish NYA training in
three months, but is allowed to stay
for six months. He emphasized the
importance of getting all the edu
cation possible before applying for
NYA work.
Mr. J. C. Gresham, Head of the

led an open forum on questions
concerning age limits and types of
jobs that could be received this
