212 OFF OF CWA
ROLL THIS WEEK
Order Bring, Number of Employ-
re, on CWA Project, Down to
469, Record Start.
The most drastic cut in CWA
employment, since the order from
Washington to reduce the number
of employees on Federal projects,
this week when the local au
thorities were instructed to strike
2 names from the roll.
The order this week brought
about a thirty-three and one-third
per cent reduction. The week be
fore a ten percent cut was carried
out, taking off 76 employees. Two
days of work was provided for the
maining employees this week on
projects that have been in progress
the G. (M. C. and G. 8. C. W
campuses, the Boys Tra ; ning School,
nnd at the State Hospital and on a
few road projects. A five thousand
dollar project to continue work at
the Boys Training School was
proved Tuesday. Approval of other
projects are expected difring the
next week, Mr. Kennedy said.
Contracts were awarded Friday
for trucking work at the air port
project nnd approval from the At
lanta headquarters vrill start this
work again, The offic'als here said
that work would be carried o
usual as many days during the week
an possible.
An additional cut of ten per cent
of the remaining number is expect
ed this w»*ck. wh*ch will bring the
number of workers on CWA pro
jects down to about 420. Effort is
being made to provide jobs for the
men and women who are cut off in
private industry and many of them
are returning to the farm. A largo
per cent are goh.g on the diiect re
lief roll, however.

The brown skirt and white waigt, o
uniform adopted almost at the time
the college was founded, is fast be-
com’ng obsolete, and the probability
is that next year there will be
uniform worn.
The college authorities have made
the uniform optional with the stu
dents for the spring quarter. The
new quarter system that was begun
this year made it impractical for
students ent ring the -«pring term
to have to purchase a complete uni
form. when it nvghl be that they
would not enter school again. Tne
college officials then decided

Unless funds are secured through
a CtyA loan, the rural schools of
Baldwin county will bo closed on
March 23rd, Superintendent P. N.
Bivins said Tuesday.
The grave danger of the schools
being closed has caused much alarm
in dounty educational circles and
every effort is being made by Supt.
Bivins and the Board of Education
to secure sufficient funds from the
CWA to make it possible to com
plete this year's term.
Supt. F'vins said the revenue to
the schools had been drastically re
duced this year and that although
the budget had been trimmed as
closely as possible to maintain effici
ent, the shortave of funds had nu de

dangerous. Nine thousand dollars is
expected from the state in a short
time which will be sufficent to pay
Januaty and February \ operating
expenses and to operate the schools
through March, Supt. Bivins raid.
After this money is spent, the sup
ply is exaustod.
If the schools should close in this
county, it will be the first time
in hislory that the schools have
failed to operate the full nine month
period.
The Board of Education will meet
next Tuesday and go over the
plans. Application is now pending
