MANY SMALL PROJECTS
By M. R. DUNNAGAN
RALEIGH, Nov. 28 Proably 15,
000 unemployed North Carolinians
wil beat work this week under the
Civil Works Administration, includ
ing about 10,000 formerly employed
in work relief, and about 63,000 are
expected to be employed by Decem
ber 15, with aggregate incomes of a
bout a million dollars a week until
February 1, Mrs. Thomas O'Berry,
Civil Works Administration, announc
es. Thousands of small projects for
improvement of highways, walkways,
school properties, county and muni
cipal buildings and grounds are ex
pected to be approved and started
within the next few days. Men will
be employed at a minimum of 45
cents an hour for common labor and
as high as $1.10 an hour for a 30-
hour week, while women are to be
emloyed at wages in line with those
paid in their communities, but in no
event at less than 30 cents an hour,
National Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins has advised Mrs. O'Berry.
A survey made of unemployed
women shows that there are 10,472
in 92 of the 100 counties, by groups
as follows: Seamstresses, 4,474; cler
ical and professional 1,490; nurses,
575; janitoresses 685; school lunch
workers 255; miscellaneous 2,993.
Women workers employed in nurs
ing services, sewing and canning cen
ters, vocational and adult education,
nursery schools, and the like, are to
be paid, not from CWA funds, but
frmo local, State and Federal relief
funds.
Working with the CWA, the high
way division plans to have 500 to
750 projects, largely minor ones, but
ranging in cost from $1,000 to $12,

Floating Theater Will
Visit Beaufort Soon
Beaufort will have a visit soon
from Hunter's Floating Theater. This
boat is quite a famous one. It was
built in Washington, N. C, usually
makes its winter headquarters at
Elizabeth City and in summer plies
the waters of estern Carolina, Vir
ginia and other states along the
coast. Edna Ferber spent some time
on this vessel and wrote her well
know story "The Show Boat" on it.
The floating Theater will arrive
December 11th and will show for a
week. The company has 30 people in
the cast and will produce a repertoire
of plays. An agent of the company
is expected here next week to adver
tise the theater's attractions. The
boat will tie up at the Inlet Inn dock.
An occurrence that happened here
last Saturday, which is now regarded . will now be open to handle the new
as a youthful escapade but might
have been very serious, caused a i
commotion in Beaufort for about I

when he disappeared Saturday with
between five and six hundred dollars
in money that belonged to firms and
individuals here. Some thought he
had been kidnapped, some that he
had been killed and robbed and some
that he had absconded with the cash.
However none of these theories prov

Prentiss Longest works at Mosher's

frequently he has made trips to
New Bern carrying checks and mon

Some times he caried a thousand dol
