To SUPPLANT
CWA PROGRAM
WITH ANOTHER

Suppression of the CWA pro-
gram on May l does not indicate
the complete abandonment of eff
forts to furnish work for the
jobleSs, C. H. Edmison, county CWA
director stated this morning after
having received word to that ef-
feet from Captain Macauley, state
administrator.
Plans are already completed to
bring the present CWA program
to an end by May l so that a
substitute program may be inaug-
urated which will provide a more
comprehensive plan for bringing
work to those who need it, the
announcement continued.
The needy will not be abandoned
by the administration, it was point
ed out, although present pro-
nouncements concerning the de-
mobilization of the CWA had not
indicated that another program
was being contemplated. Those who
lose present jobs through the
mobilization program will not be
out of work for any great length
of time.
This is ray of hope for men
now being laid off, Edmison said.
He added that during the coming
week more men will be taken from
the projects and gradually both
the number of workers and pro-
jects will be reduced until by May
l the program will have been COM
pleted.
At present there are 1445 men
at work on CWA projects in the
county.
