RACE HARD HIT BY wPA LAY
OFFS

New York, August 10 (CNA)-
Hundreds of Negroes were among
the $4,000 WPA workers ordered
laid off this week by local WPA
officials in complying with the
provisions of the Woodum 1910
Relief Bill. Those scheduled for
dismissals have been on the pro-
jects for over 18 months. Besides
these, approximately 100000 more
are slated for the axe throughout
the nation as the work-relief a
gency made plans to reduce its
rolls.
The dismissals to be staggered
ployed on the Writers, Art, Music,
over a six week period, we're be-
ing felt especially by Negroes en-
and Historical Records projects. 1t
was pointed out that these agen-
cies have been particularly help
full to Negro professionals, and that
their separation from these pro-
jects will cause irreparable harm
to the skill of these workers. Sew
eral hundred Negroes already have
been fired from the Federal The
atre when that project was order
ed liquidated by the Woodrum
Act.
Meanwhile a survey of the Har-
lem business community showed
an alarming drop in the volume
of trade. One restaurant owner
located on West 135th Street re-
ported that the number of his us
toners has declined considerably.
He expressed grave concern over
the future of his small establish
ment should the drastic reduc-
tions go through. His fears were
Indicative of the growing alarm
in the community.
Heads of the Workers Alliance
declared they would make a spec
ial drive to fight for re-instate-
ment of the dismissed Negro wor-
kers, taking into consideration the
fact that they would be the last
to receive employment in private
industry even were private indus

Mating is for life and the couple
is really devoted to each other.
False stories have been circulated
about this great bird. 1t is pretty
late to be finding out that we have
been destroying a friendly neigh
Dor rather than giving him pro-
lection. Condors are scavengers and
not wanton killers. They never
attack a human being. In fact,
scientific Investigations have proven
condors to be of a gentle and kindly
disposition and not fearing man.
Look at their feet. They are not Of
the grasping type. The toes are
short and blunt, the foot too small
to hold a large animal. The sharp
claws are used for tearing flesh.
The heaviest animal to be trans
ported is hare.
When flying, the condor rises
higher and higher in the air in
widening circles until he floats easily
as he comes slowly to earth search
ing the ground for food.
In the earlier days, when cattle
were driven to pasture, poisoned
carcasses for the special comsump-
ton of wolves, coyotes and other
predacious animals were eaten by
condors and thus many of these
grand birds were killed.
The nursery is established in
crevice or cave several hundred
feet above the floor of a cliff. Only
one baby is born each year. For
six months the parents give their
offspring their undivided attention.
BY the latter part of August, if the
birthday occurred the latter part of
March, the young condor will be
full-fedged. When three months
old it will tip the scales at Is pounds.
The now almost deleted number
of our largest flying birds of prey,
the very few young raised each year,
and the restricted range are the
contributing factors of the slow
comeback. Let us not have to bow
our heads in shame that another
of our colorful and harmless possess
sions is but a memory to pass on to
the coming generation. This is
bad stewardship and as Americans
we do not wish this to happen
again.

is by far the most impressive. His
glossy black coat contrasts we'll
with the wide white bar on his
wings. The soft white ruff of down
worn at the bass of his neck is
most becoming The unfeathered
head is protected by a tough skin
that is red and the forehead has
a cartilaginous comb, known as
a caruncle. The bright, red eyes
are shadowed by this crest and the
throat is wattled in the approved
manner of our common turkey. The
dull legs are improved by brilliant
red knee patch.
An adult condor will weigh about
Is pounds, have a body AZ feet
long and a wing spread from tip to
tip reaching o to II feet across.
The life tenure is about u years.
