"Hey Chang" he called softly.

Presently Chang opened the door

Many Fail To Get
Drivers License ~

Raleigh.-Arthur Fulk, director
of the State highway safety divi-
sion, said recently approximately
II per cent of all applicants for
automobile driving permits since
March 16 have been turned down
or required to try a second time
after a 3o-day study period.
Since the middle of March every
applicant for a license has had to
pass a test given by a member of
the highway patrol. .
There are now more than 1885,
900 licensed drivers, but more
than 100000 got licenses before
the tests were started.

project quota by 800 in order to provide for youths who have been working on WPA projects in sup elementary capacities", Mir. Dodd explained. without this quota inc crease, these young workers would be left Jobless by reductions in WPA project personnel. For this reason, Washington has granted the quota increase to the Connecticut N. Y. A."
 Tn the course of the state federal works program, there have been TIT MA workers assigned to WPA pro- jects. These were employed as supplementary labor, water boys, tool tenders, recreational aides in the education program, and in va- riouS capacities on federal projects. To date, Ill IVA project replace ments have been made from the 777. It is hoped that .he quota inc crease of 400 will provide for most of the youth workers who are now being paid from WPA funds and who may be unemployed as a rec suit of project reduction.
 MT. Dodd indicated that two ad- vantages will result from this quota expansion. First, WPA project re- auctions will be carried on more readily and to the benefit of adult workers on WPA projects if youth workers are provided for in some such fashion as the one proposed Second, the youth workers will be transferred to IVA projects which are particularly designed for young people and on which young people may acquire helpful training in va rious technical and occupational fields.
