Clothing Work Brings
Opportunity to HI Girls
Sew Their Way To
Feminine Happiness

During the first year, the girl learns
the fundamentals in sewing In another
year or two, the girl, if she has been
industrious, is ready to make part or all
of her own clothes.
A girl can learn to launder her clothes
to make them show to best advantage,
and to remodel and obtain garments that
are useful and beautiful. All this before
she is out of her teens.
Many club girl after few years of
All training becomes independent in
matters of her clothes, even to paying for
them.
Girls become amazingly resourceful
through All clothing training. Laurine

This dress was made out of sugar bags

State Administrator Hurley Approves Plan
 ForAdvancing Pay-off
Checks to Be Distributed Within Next AS Hours; Clerks, Accountants Speeding Up Details to Insure
 Money for Christmas Holidays

Pay dates for 7,211 WPA project workers, more than one third of the entire personnel engaged in the federal work program in Connecti- cut, will be advanced so that their families will have money before Christmas day, 1t was announced today at state WPA headquarters in New Haven. Christmas cheer in the form of payroll checks for project workers in 53 Connecticut commun- ities, where pay dates ordinarily would fall anywhere from Decem- Der 24 to 28, will be distributed by Connecticut paymasters on either Wednesday or Thursday of this week, State Works Progress Admin istrator Robert A. Hurley explained today.

 Checks totalling approximately S2O5, 900 will be distributed to the 7,211 employees, within the next day or two, in furtherafice of the ad- mipistrations policy to occommo- date workers prior to important holidays whenever possible. Inas- much as the payment of wages for approximately 19000 WPA workers twice a month is scaled off so that approximately the same number are being paid each day, the prepay ment of wages for these 7,211 em- ployes has meant extra work in the payroll unit at state headquarters. Accountants and clerks have been working nights and Sundays in an effort to rush through the time re- ports to accommodate these project workers.
 Ordinarily Christmas Day would DC pay day for 1,789 employees who, under this special arrangement. will recei'' approximately $50,000 In payrolB prior to the. holiday.
