Lasting Benefit
From WPA Work
In Addition To Direct Aid
In Form Of Wages, Indirect
Benefits From Projects
Will Help The Poor
Aside from the money that
they receive for their work, WPA
workers, as well as other needy
families in Brunswick county, receive
other benefits from the federal
works program, according to
Robert D. Caldwell, district WPA
director.
"Many of the WPA projects are
designed to give long-time benefits
to the poor people of the
county," Caldwell said. "One in
stance of una is tne maiana control
projects. It has been found j
that many of our needy families
suffer from malaria. By attack-1
ing the disease at its source, we!
thus eliminate one of the funda-!
mental causes of poverty in this
section."
Caldwell also mentioned the
WPA commodity distribution pro- j
ject. "Although these surplus
commodities are not given to people
working on WPA projects,
they have been of great benefit
to other persons in the county
who were not eligible for WPA
employment. In this latter group j
ire the aged and the infirm who j
must be cared for by the county |
welfare department."

To Begin Soon On
Community Center
Plans have been submitted and
requisition has been made for
material with which to begin
the work of remodeling the old
school building into a modern
community center.
There was some discussion last
week of moving the building from
its present location to where the
tennis courts have been built, but
this move deemed unwise.
