COUNTY QUOTA IS 390
Qhrer 200 Men are Being
Used On County>Wide
Project at Present
The number of people In
Wilkes cottnty aided thro^igh the
Works Progress administration,
principal federal relief agency,
has been cut In half during the
past year, figures at the office of
the area snperylsor ihere reveal.
At prea^ the WPA quota for
Wtlhee .qoanty Is 274 men and
tiff woaia and it Is understood
tha'T Ibreoien" are working prac
tically the full quota at all times.
A year ago
men werT hefng used on WiPA
projects and at the peak of the
agency 800 were given employ
ment.
Of the 274 men allowed more
than 200 are employed on the
county road project, which has
done some very 'beneficial work
on many secondary road through
better cooperation from the State
Highway and Public Works com
mission. Four rock crushers and
several trucks are now .being
used. A year ago th© men strug
gled along with one crusher and
were able to do but little work
considered of much value. One ©f
the results was the suspension
of a number of central schools
for severkl weeks because the
roads could not be traveled , by
school buses during the winter
months.
Many of the women are being
used In tewing rooms while some
otbOE. prpiac^
roads are being used on the sani
tation project erecting'privies.
The reduction has resulted
from cutting off some men on
the rolls but a greater reduction
has come about through men
