NYA OFFICIAL TALKS TO
YOUTH GROUPS

Appearing before the Youth
Committee, Urban League junior
organizations, John F. Thomas,
supervisor of NYA Negro activi-
ties, stated that the NYA is funda-
mentally interested in opening
training opportunities for Negro
youth. He encouraged all young
people out of school and between
the ages of 18 and ID years to
make application for NYA jobs at
305 Old Postoffice building. Mr..
Thomas expressed disappointment
with the lack of enthusiasm shown
by Negro boys over the splendid
training program offered at the
resident project located at Shake
pee. "The time has come" he con-
cluded, when Negro youth must
band themselves into such organi-
cations as this Youth Committee
to fight the discrimination and
prejudice found in the job place
ment field. It is only on the basis
of a united attack motivated by
youth itself that progress on this
front will materialize."
Previously Mr.. Thomas had adj
dressed the NYA workers located
on projects housed at Phyllis
Wheatley House.

CHICAGO SPEEDS HOUSING
PROJECT

CHICAGO, Sept. (CNA) A
delay in construction of the Ida B.
Wells Federal Housing Project for
Negroes was avoided by the action
of the City Council this week in
passing a motion allowing builders
to ignore certain parts of the City
Building Code.
Passage of the proposal came
after Alderman Arthur G. Lindell
commented:
"This project has been delayed
for two years. People in this dis
trict have been suffering from lack
of housing for some time and we
must keep the work going"
Alderman Lindell said the homes
would not be built in the conven-
tional style. Only the corners of
the buildings will come to South
Parkway, allowing more free land,
play space and air. Apartments
will feature bedrooms and living
rooms on separate floors, connected
by staircases like a one-family
house.

Official, Describes US.
Effort for Better Shelter

The health of our citizens and the
well-being of our entire community
demand that the public unite in an
effort to eliminate slums and pro-
vide wholesome dwellings for fam
lilies otherwise unable to enjoy the
common decencies of life, DIR.
Robert C. Weaver, special assistant
to the U. S. Housing administrator
said in st. Paul Wednesday.
DR.. Weaver was the featured
speaker at the annual dinner meet
ing of the st. Paul Urban League
in the Y. w. C. A. He stated that
the fact that he had been invited
to speak indicated that the Urban
League and the people of st. Paul
are aware of the need of low cost
housing. -
A primary necessity, however, is
the enactment of enabling legisla-
ton on the part of the state be-
fore housing can be undertaken un-
