The project is set up to give employment to out-of-work people capable of working with workers’ groups in developing - classes and discussion groups, re- . creation, art and craft activities, information service centers on 1 labor and solcial legislation, vis ual aid workshops, and prepara tion of research material for use 1 with wage-earning groups.

'^'tß This is not a before and after picture, but it does show two extremes in maintenance and control of subdivisions, according to FHA land planning officials. Although street improvements are present along the unkempt street, the neighborhood certainly lacks appeal because of lack of control. Shrubs grow haphazardly, the trees serve as billboards, and the beauty of the street is marred by the utility poles in the foreground. The other picture shows what can be done to a similar neighborhood by observing sound land-planning principles. PRICES The general level of prices re ceived by farmers in mid-Octo ber at local markets throughout the country was xwo points high er than in mid-September, re ports the U. S. Bureau” of Agri cultural Economics. COMBINES Where there were.only two emobines in Martin county a year ago, there are now 12, show ing the increasing importance of small grains and legumes, says Assistant Farm John I.
