Welfare Fund which the committee has raised.
 The experiment of uniting all organized Waterville groups, fra ternal, church, social and civic, in a common committee to handle the raising of funds for providing holi- day cheer to local needy families has proven mast successful this year and the cofnmittee is most grateful for the support which the people of Waterville have given to the enterprise.
 At last nights meeting the pos- sibility of continuing the commit tee on a permanent basis, to be known as the Waterville Com munity Council, was discussed last night. The general sentiment was very much in favor of such action and it was decided that the mem bers of the committee would refer the question back to their re- spective organizations for discus sion and action, with the request that if approval were secured the organizations designate three rep. resentatlves to serve on the coutl- cil for a period of one year. The committee, will reconyene on the evening of Monday, January 28th, to receive reports on this action from the various organizations and to take whatever action seems to be advisable at that time. 1t was pointed out that Q local council of this nature can be of invaluable service to the community anytime any proposition of common and general interest presents itself.

been here for the past 10 days
fishing. With him is his son,
Charles v. Case, Jr. They are

at Cambridge, England, and came
from Europe last week to join his
father in Key West and spend his
vacation.

and have succeeded in catching
many fine specimens during their
stay.
Another annual visitor to Key
West is George L. Kingsland,
who comes on his regular trips in
his own boat and spends most of
his time on the water.
Out yesterday, he made an ex-
cellent catch but as this is the
usual result of his angling trips
and as he is well acquainted with
the productivity of Key West wa
tiers, he was not very elated.
George Benin, of New York, is
another member of the rod and
reel fraternity who has been
meeting with great success. Mr..
Benin halls from Troy, N. Y.
Yesterday afternoon he brought
in the largest catch taken by any
single individual this season. His
take consisted of amberjack, king.
fish and grouper, also a number
of cavalle.
Mr.. Benin is planning to leave
tomorrow and be gone for three
days. His aim is to get tarpon
and has decided to remain until
he gets one that will be of size
and beauty to repay him for his
long ride to Key West and per.
severance since arriving.

CHANGES MADE
IN SCHEDULE OF
FERA PROJECTS
PERTAINS TO REMUNERA-
TON OF EMPLOYEES IN RE-
LATION TO BUDGETARY
NEEDS

Different Instructions have been
issued regarding the schedule fol-
remuneration of employees on
FERA projects in relation to their
budgetary needs.
When the FERA first took over
the activities of the CWA instruc.
tions were issued that should q
workers budgetary needs be less
than he could earn in six days. he
would be denied work and placed
on the lists for direct relief.
These instructions have been
modified to read that skilled la.
borer whose budgetary needs foi
the month are less than he can
earn in two days, will be placed on
direct relief. The same rule APP
plies to the needs and earnings OF
an unskilled worker for a period
of three days.
Another plan that may be used
at the discretion Of the local adj
ministrator is that of placing in
escrow the earnings of a man over
and above his budgetary needs.
For example: A skilled worker
registers his budgetary needs as
SO weekly. which is $40 for -four
weeks. He earns in that period
500.
He is paid SO each week fol
the four weeks worked and is ther
laid off and paid from the sun
of $50 held in escrow, SO eacf
week for the ensuing six weeks
During this six weeks period hi
is not prohibited from working fol
others. but cannot work on The
FERA projects.

Program Z; Repair Work
With Financing By Banks
Rehabilitation Included;
But Small Portion OF
Government Funds To
Be Used
env Assec,nted I.rcssl

WASHINGTON, March
%. = President Roosevelt's
emergency council is consid-
cring the possibility of an
ambitious national program
of repair work and rehabili-
tation to be financed by
banks and private sources.
Hugh Johnson, NRA adj
ministrator, has been men
toned as a possible head for
the scheme which would in
volve the setting up of a new
administrative unit.
Plans for the organization
were said to still be nebulous,
but a number of prominent
figures in the Roosevelt adj
ministration are urging such
a project because of the
large turnover which it
would involve in business
and finance.
No government funds
would be involved except
possibly a small amount for
setting up an administration.
In effect, it wak said au-
thoritat:vely the govern
ment part in the project
would be to support and
guide private repairs and re-
habilltation.
