NYA Project Propos-
ed For Elkton (

More than 600 young people left
the rolls Of the National Youth Adj
ministration to take private employ
ment but 1,100 new youths ENROLL
ed. the State Administrator, Ryland
N. Dempster, reports. The addition
all 500 brought the total NYA youths
employed ON Maryland work pro-
jects to over 5000.
Mr.. Dempster, pointed out that
there is still room for more. ANY
boy or girl between the ages Of Is
and rs whose family needs his or
her earnings may get ON an NYA
project.
A work-project employing about
fifteen youths is contemplated for
Elkton with the Elkton High School
as co-sponsor. Girls and boys who
are out of school will assist in the
library, in the regular cafeteria and
in serving the free lunch. Others
will help with tipping, mineograph-
ing and other phases of Office rou-
tine. One young man Is wanted as a
stock clerk for the evening classes
of the Industrial Arts Department.
and a request has also been made
for a junior mechanical draftman.
All work done on this project will
be under the supervision of the fac
ulty members or regular employees
of the High School.
1--WE do not expect that the
youths employed on this project
will be with NYA long,, said Stuart
A. Hamilton, supervisor for the dis
trict in which Cecil County is
located.
1.-THE average length of time for
youths to remain on a work project
is now about three months, After
that they usually have acquired
sufficinet skill and experience to en-
able them to secure private employ
ment.
at is the rapid turn over which
is making it possible for us to in
crease our enrolment at the pres
ent time" Mr.. Hamilton explained.
1t is suggested that youths inter-
ested in getting job write to Mr..
Leopald Bridge, Director of Employ
ment 1712 Park Avenue, Baltimore,
Maryland, for an application, or for
additional information about the
NYA program.

The Annual Christmas
Seal Sale
Begins December 1st..-Funds
To Be Used In The Fight
Against Tuberculosis

Plans have been made for the
33rd annual Christmas Seal sale
which will begin on December LIST
and continue until Christmas Day,
it is announced by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, the official
Christmas Seal agency in this state.
The Christmas Seal sale, held
every year between Thanksgiving
and Christmas, provides the revenue
for maintaining an anti-tuberculosis
program in Maryland. More than
100000 Seals are being prepar-
ed for mailing throughout the state,
the association reported, and these
Seals will be contained in approx
mately $4,000 letters.
Nearly $500 other tuberculosis
associations and groups are plan
ming similar efforts throughout the
United States.
Among the important anti-tuber-
culosis activities in Maryland, all of
which are made possible by the sale
of Christmas Seals, are: Free chest
clinics, the Miracle House, medical
research, health education, X-ray-
ing, tuberculin testing and a clinic
for instructing Negro doctors in tu-
berculosis diagnosis.
The Maryland association was
founded in 1904, the same year as
the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. Since it has been in operation
the tuberculosis death rate has been
reduced from 234.2 per 100000
people to 6S.3 per 100000. There
has also been a great decrease in
the number of persons i'll with the
disease.
William B. Matthews, managing
director Of the Maryland associa-
ton, said, Groups are planning for
the Christmas Seal sale throughout
the state and everything will be In
readiness when the sale commences
on the first of December. The en-
thusiasm of those helping organize
the sale indicates that the sale
should be successful and that Mary

Great gains have been made
against the disease since the fight
to control it began" he said, "but
now is no time to relax our efforts.
If we relax our efforts now the
gains that have been won will soon
be lost, and if the fight is continued
on every front-the disease can be
brought under control.
sit Is within the power of the
people to destroy this disease which
has caused SO much sickness and
death, but they must be willing to
cooperate with the official agencies.
Using Christmas Seals will be a
good way to cooperate" Mr.. Mat
thews said.
Mrs. l. d. Davis, of Elkton Is
chairman of the Christmas Seal Sale
in Cecil county.
