Sewing Rooms
The editor had the pleasure of
visiting the WPA Sewing rooms
at Franklinton on Tuesday morn
ing. He was very enthusiastically ,
entertained by Mrs. John B. Yar
toorough, Supervisoor of the Pro
ject, who explained the working
procedure. It was interesting to
see splendid system used in the
handling, making and recording
all work. The material comes to
the sewing room ready cut and is
gathered into single garments and'
carried through the sewing room;
where each machine or worker
does a particular part of the!
work, like the assembling of an
automobile, being completed when
passing the last of thirty-eight'
sewing machines, then they go to,
the button sewers and from there,
to the pressers and are finished ;
for return to the office where
they are packed ready for ship
ment1.- A complete check is kept!
on these garments from the time
they are shipped to Raleigh for|
distribution.
It was a busy place in the sew-'
ipg room where the hum of the1
sewing machines was ever sound
ing and the garments passing on
to completion. Everything was
precision, and when completed
the garment was equal to any of'
a like class in any of the stores
coming from the bigger factories.!
Each little detail was observed
and followed even to the exact
spacing of the rows of stitches
and the widt-h of the bands.
The garments made are of a
great variety of useful wearing
apparel for men, women and chil
dren. and for each season. Among
some of them are aprons, bath
robes, dresses, gowns, pajamas,
slips, stepins. blouses, coats, com
bination skirts, suits, sun suits,
B.V.D.s, shirts, overalls. pants
shorts, undershirts, play suits,
lumber jackets, etc.
On most projects the Federal
government furnishes only funds
for labor, but the sewing room is
a production project and it re
quires more money to operate For
this reason It is necessary for the
sponsors to furnish a part. The
large equipment is furnished by
WPA. In ret<urn for whatever
the sponsors furnish the county
Is given garments in proportion
to the sponsor's contribution.
This sewing room is located
over Allen's Grill at Franklinton
and is inviting visitors from all
over Franklin County go in and
see the work in progress. The
number of women working in the
sewing room at present is 42, and
the largest number on the pay
roll during the year was 47. Thei
number of garments made during
the year was 12,187. The work- j
ers are paid 24 cents an hour and i
can make a total of $31.20 per)
month, being allowed to make on- :
ly 20 days. The total pay roll for'
the year was $15,191.63.
In aHflitifin t n ilia rpvnlar witclf . '
erg Mrs. Yarborough is assisted
by Mrs. Vallie Watkins, Floorwo
man; Mrs. Joe Hayes. Clerk. The
area Supervisor 'of sewing is Mrs.
Nan O. Read.
The work was very interesting,!
the workers all seemed pleased ,
and happy in their employment,
and the entire project gave evi
dence of fulfllTltrg a needed ven
ture both to the recipients of the
work, those engaged in the pro
duction and the sponsors. It is a
treat to visit and see this inter
esting projct in full swing.
WriUng of this project, Mr,
Harvey T. Bartholomew, County
Commissioner from District No.,
fi, says:
"I visited the Franklin Count?
Sewing rooms very recently and
bad the opportunity to observe
the procedure of the work from
the start to finish of the gar
ments.
"I was very much impressed
with the splendid system and ma
terial results. The rooms were
perfect In order, and bad a bus
lness-llke air, the women in line,
neatly dressed, happy and very
earnest in their work. The out
put of garments as to quality and
quantity is very gratifying.
"We, as sponsors of this pro
ject, consider it one of the best
WPA projects in our county, and
are justly proud of their work
and accomplishments. This is a
production unit and a line asset
to the county as it brings Into tihe
county many times the Vilue of
the cash expended for it by the
county.
"We. as business men, consider
It a fine investment and hope that
som^ plan may be worked out*
whereby they may continue to be
*""VbeV>win* rooms are located i
In Fraaklinton and will be open
for inspection from I o'clock A. i

HARRIS' ENDORSEMENT
Supt. G. B. Harris, of the
Franklipton Schools, writes:
"Tbrfc care and condition ot
school lavoratories is always an
important) part of school routine.
Every school principal and teacher
bus long realized that from a
sanitary standpoint that care of
these places is very important
Then too, an important part of
any child's education is Mie care
of public property. A glance at
walls of any public lavoratory is
enough to convince one that much
is to be done along this line.
"Kranklinton School for the
past two years has been very for
tunate in having two matrons!
working on t'he W. P. A. Matron
SerVtCe Project which has render
ed a very tine service here. Rest
Room have been kept in an ex
cellent condition. This condition
is reflected in the morale ot the
school. In my opinion, this is one
of the best services extended to
the schools by government aid.
"I might add also that through
government aid. the school has
had helpful library service. Much
improvement has been made since
this service begun.
"School and Public libraries are
important factors to the educa
tional progress of any communi
ty. Franklinton through its effic
ient librarians have better library
facilities than ever before.
"I am asking you to inspect
these two projects during 'This
Work Pays Your Community'
Week May 20-25."
