NYA Finds Positions
For 481 Applicants
Young Men, Women Placed at Work Through Efforts
OF Federal Agency-Labor Turnover Rate Improves

A total of 481 young men and wo-
men from the rolls of the NYA have
found private employment in the
State of Connecticut during the
three month period from July /, to
September 80, it was stated today by
Richardd A. Barrett, State Admins
traitor for the National Youth Adj
ministration. This number, Barrett
continued, represents an increase of
approximately % per cent over the
turnover tinto private employment
shown for the months of April, May
and June.
The State NYA Administrator
pointed out that the rate of turn
over Of NYA youth into private en-
ployment has been rising. consistent
ly since the Inauguration of the pro-
gram in 1885. The reason for this,
he added, was not only the upturn
in business conditions but the fact
that the NYA program Is being
more highly developed with the
passing Of each year and is being ex-
tended and improved to give the
young people participating the best
and most practical types of work
experience. A young man or woman
who has been employed on the NYA
work program should have an adj
vantage over those totally inexper-
fenced youth who are looking for a
private job.
Coupled with the high rate of la
Dor turnover, the NYA records also
show an increase in total number of

mouth, Southampton, Dover-ports
and are mouths feeding England
and food without which she starves.
Their docks, their wharves, their
shipping, more than the cities them
selves, are the targets. And deadly
waterfront fires could do England
more harm than most reverses on
the Western Front.
Some of those ports are within
an hours flying time from Ger
maryland that hour mainly over
the North Sea. German bombs
may land in channel ports with
little or no warning. Not even Ma
poleon could hold such a threat over
Britain; threat to blockade hel
by air as she blockades Germany by
sea; a threat not alone to starve her
but to cancel out the crushing SUI
periority of Franco British naval
power over German - 100000 tons
to 100000.
These are staggering stakes to be
won, if at all, only by staggering
audacity, and, if at all, now or never
before the pinch of the British
blockade of Germany becomes crush
ing as it did in 1918, before British
and French anti-aircraft defenses
become stronger, and before Can
ada's and Australia's planes and
splendid pilots reach the scene. Also
before England's autumn fogs come
to befuddle German pilots and
bomb-droppers, who lack the won
derful American bomb-sight.

Referee Walter l.. Torrance, who is
serving as special master in the
case had an operating loss Of $685.
during the period between Sept. 8
and Sept. 30.
This fact was reported in a re-
port filed with the clerk of the
United States District court at New
Haven yesterday.
The report shows that for the
period mentioned, current assets
are $55,994.06 and total liabilities,
$685., 300.75. The current liabilities
are $154,824.72 and the total liabil-
tiles and capital, $338,300.75. The
profit and loss statement shows
total net sales of $13,739.45 with
cost of 13,725.99, a gross profit OF
$13.46. The general selling expenses
were $2,843.62 and the selling costs
$2,830.16. General and administra-
ton expenses were $795.09 and the
net loss from operations $3,625.25.
The financial report was prepared
by Alderman & Shepatin, of New
Haven, and was signed by Frederick
j. Dalton, president.

youth employed during the same
period. Compared with total labor
figure of approximately 1850 during
the early weeks of July, the last Of
September saw an increase of al
most five hundred workers bringing
the total to about $500. In comment
ing on this fact, Mr.. Barrett pointed
out that although this period saw a
high rate of turnover, this was prob
ably caused by the increase in the
work project appropriation enabling
the NYA to provide more adequate
ly for the many youth on its watt
ing list. With an increase in total
employment there was an increase
in the number of young people re-
ceiving work experience and, conse-
quently, larger number receiving
jobs as a result of that work exper-
fence.
In order to extend the scope of
the work program SO that it would
benefit larger part of the youth
group, the eligibility rules were re-
Gently modified to include those who
are not on relief. Applicants, how
ever, must show a need; this term

Counsel Offers Uniqu e
AIibi in Defense OF
Woman Client

Delay of state troopers in making
an arrest was criticized today by At
torney Michae1 Ciano, counsel for
Mary Paffney, charged with violat-
ing the liquor law.
Attorney Ciano said the state
troopers could have arrested the
woman on Sept. 20 when it was al
legged she sold liquor to them, How
ever, he said the troopers failed to
lodge the complaint with Prosecuting
Attorney Michael }. Galullo until
several days had elapsed.
Mrs. Paffney, the defense counsel
said, was later arrested by two local
policemen on a separate count OF
selling liquor without permit. He
declared the second arrest would not
have taken place if the troopers had
brought their charges Immediately
to the prosecutor.
Judge John L. Gaffney suspended
sentence in the case, but told At
torney Ciano to warn his client to
stop her illegal sales. On motion OF
Prosecutor Galullo, Mrs. Paffney who
is SO, ana resides at % Chapel street
was ordered to pay $40 to the state
troopers for their work in the case
Part of Attorney Ciano's defense
was based on the ground that Mrs
Paffney sold liquor without permit
because she needed money and tried
to make it the easy way. He men,

had been revoked.

And go in for costume hats
So nice with short fur jacket.
