CONCENTRATE WPA
WORK in SCHOOLS.
New Orders Effective on
Class Meetings; No Ses-
si0ns in Homes

Beginning next week, as a result
OF q recent order from the state
WPA office to have all recreational
and educational classes held In
public buildings, the literacy classes
sponsored by the local branch of the
WPA, directed by Miss Edna Har-
mon, will be held In seven local
school buildings.
Prior to the order, which was re-
ceiyed here shortly before the start
OF the Christmas vacation, the
classes had been held at various
private homes, to which the staff
teachers reported and lectured 10
their groups.
The school buildings In which the
class will be held beginning next
Monday are: Duggan, Barnard,
Bishop, Walsh, Wildly, Wilson and
Slocum. Miss Harmon pointed out
today that there Is also the posi-
bility Of securing the Leavenworth
high school building for another OF
these classes.
The literacy course has proved tc
be very popular during the first part
Of the program, with about 175
persons being listed on the regis
tration files to date.
The course is given to persons
who work nights and the house.
wives who seek better knowledge
OF reading and writing English. For
this reason the classes are held In
the morning and the afternoon.
There are four members OF the
local staff engaged in teaching these
courses at the present time. Registra-
ton can still be made at the Cros-
by office Of the local recreational
and educational branch of the WPA.

WPA MEN RESUME
OUTDOOR DUTIES
Only Few Hours Work Ac-
complishd Yesterday
Due to Rain

Delayed yesterday as a result Of
bad weather, except In few cases
where two or three hours work was
accomplished, the local WPA pro-
jects resumed work on all outdoor
projects this morning.
In four or five instances, as stated
some two weeks ago, the beginning
Of the new work period saw q doub-
ling up on Jobs. Several men from
projects which are practically fin
ished were taken and transferred to
projects which demand immediate
attention and more men.
The announcement in connection
with the doubling up process was
announced by local officials two
weeks ago with the idea Of adjusting
the local program to the outline Of
fered by the state officials. When 1t
became known, at the time, that no
new men would be taken on here to
increase the local WPA personnel,
those in charge Of the Waterbury
set-up devised this plan to carry on
a more efficient local program.
Adjustments are being made
within the local set-up itself In con-
nection with transferring some older
men to relief and securing more
competent men from the roles Of
the welfare department. No oficial
statement In connection with this
plan has been released as yet.
