Sending 47 Men To Take Examination For Forestry Work Tliis Number Will Leave For Char lotte This Afternoon- Go To Fort Brafg Later. Plans for sending 47 Cleveland county boys to Charlotte. where they will undergo a medical exam ination at the army recruiting sta tion before going to work in na tional forests and parks were not complete this morning. It was stat ed down at the local relief head quarters. which have been moved from the old stand in the Ellis ' building to the Lineberger building across the street and next to J. N. Dellinger's that a load containing part of this county's quota would leave here in the latter part of the afternoon for the preliminary medi cal examination, Which they must pass before entering the training course at Fort Bragg. There they will be trained tor work in the na tional parks and forests. The course ts more or less the regular army training routine, and will last sev eral weeks. After the preliminary training the young men between the ages of 18 and 25 and who have been on the unemployed list, will enter the national forests and parks to help carry out Roosevelt’s forest protec tion plan and to help carry out his relief program. The pay of the boys is to be $30 per month, but the biggest portion of it has to be sent home to rela tives who are dependent. Pood, clothing and other necessities of living will be provided. Although applications for the load going out from town today were previously filed, many young men stood within the lobby waiting and hoping for a chance to either get into this load or the next one. which is to leave later. To get in the forestry work, the applicant must be physically fit and able to work. The work is mostly of an outdoor nature, including sav - ing wood and caring for the tree; for the forests, instruction as to how 1c carry on the work is to be given by competent, oresfcry au thorities. J. D. Lineberger .is the director of the local relief. Four Out For Mayor Ant! Three For Aldermen In Each City Ward P. E. Brooks Is The Last To Enter. School Board Unopposed For Re-Eleelion.

Decline Shown In Relief Demands — ‘JJA Families Receive Aid Kurins The Month Of March, Report Shows. For tiie tiist time since federal' relief funds became available last October, destitution in North Caro I lina showed a decline during the1 month of March, according to fig ures made public today by the gov ernor’s office of relief, A total of 161,000 families were given aid as compared with 164,000 in February. The number of families helped in Cleveland county during March was 938, a considerable decline from February. Previous to March there had been a continuous increase in the number of families aided, the fig ures show. State relief officials were said to be highly optimistic over the re port, particularly in view of the fact that the bank holiday during March had been expected to cause hardships on many people who otherwise had not been dependent upon relief. It is anticipated that a much greater decrease in the relief load will be the experience for the month or April. The program of gardening and truck farming, which was not far enough advanced to materially affect the situation ip March, will be an important factor in lessening the relief load for Ap ril. it is expected.
