Concentrate your fire on the CLIO
and strengthen the AFL wherever
YOU can. Use the anti-C Communist
feeling within labor itself. It is
easier to split a labor movement
over the issue of the Moscow trials
or the question of isolation or col
lective security, or the charges OF
Communist control, than to smash
it through espionage, citizens COM
mittees, or police bullets. Fo-
ment the traditional hostility of town
and country, urban and rural, work

sense of property. Play even more
on the fact that the products the
farmers must buy are increased in
price by the trade-union demands
and by the labor legislation of a re-
form government. Point out that
not only is the government attempt
ing a revolution in private property,
but it is also setting up a tyrannical
bureaucracy to coerce the farmers
into complying with measures re-
stricting production. Get across

of voting an insecure future

Evidence accumulates that the
press and the public are taking

NYA GIVES MANY
YOUTHS VOCATIONAL
TRAINING IN BUTTE

More than 1870 Butte youths are
receiving vocational and cultural
training through a plan being
worked out in cooperation with the
WPA's division of education and
recreation. the Butte art center, and
the Butte Business College, George
Misevic, NYA district supervisor,
announced today.
Through individual guidance and
c~ounseling, youths are placed IN
classes that, insofar as is practicable,
will supplement and increase the
skills they are using on the NYA
project on which they are en-
ployed, Misevic said.
Additional emphasis is placed on
cultural courses which help the
youth develop toward better citizen
ship.
Youth ordinarily work a budget
of so hours, Misevic explained, but
under the new plan, Is of those
hours must be spent in actual class
work in some phase of related
training. For instance, a number OF
youths employed or clerical projects
wish to attend Butte Business Col
lege, and they may be allowed Il
hours of working time for thu
classes they attend. In October, /
Youths were taking advantage o
this opportunity.
Butte art center has extended 1t
cooperation in the form of a clas
in poster drawing and sign paint
ing, taught by Mr.. Anton JovlcF

Kenneth Mulholland, zone sur
visor of adult education. Only
classes in personal developm'
clothing, textiles, sewing, pract

for the NYA youths alone.
Vocational and related tran

youths every month are enat
because of the related tran
courses, to find jobs in private
dustry. Within a few months eq

Outlook For
Tobacco Is
Still Good
An Acreage Increase
of 18 Percent Forecast
in Aliens Weekly Re-
view of Conditions
BY FRED Nj. ALLEN, JR.,
Secretary, Henderson Tobacco
ROard of Trade.

With continuation of warm, dry
weather the past week, crop condi-
tions in Vance and eight surround
ing counties remain good. Several
sections need rain, however trans
planting has gone right ahead, using
hand planters, with now 70 percent
in the field. Except for slight cut
worm damage in a few sections
plants are in excellent condition and
are growing very we'll, warm days
and nights for the past two weeks
having advanced materially plants
already out. Farmers who were short
on plants have already procured
enough from the east and south for
their needs. Acreage increase is pre-
dicted at 18 percent.
Reports received from the eastern
belt state that plants are in good con-
dition, with weather favorable. Re-
ports from the southern belt indicate
a crop as early as 1888, with plants
we'll advanced, seasons good.
This report represents an average
taken from reports received and
from actual observation, over Vance
and surrounding counties and not OF
any one particular section.
