NYA NOT SOLICITING FUNDS
OR CANVASSING

Residents of a dozen Ohio cities
have reported to S. Burns Weston,
Ohio administrator of the NYA,
that canvassers are attempting to
solicit funds and sell magazines in
Ohio as representatives of NYA.
Mr. Weston warned householders
against such solicitors, adding that
NYA has no connection with any
youth movement" or scholarships
for house-to-house canvassing. He
said all NYA work takes place upon
public property under sponsorship
of non-commercial public agencies.
Administrator Weston said NYA's
two branches are the student work
program employing high school and
college students under supervision
of education officials; and the out
of-schOol work program which pro-
vides community y-sponsOred work
for otherwise unemployed young
men and women. Both programs are
part-time Mr.. Weston said enrollees
in either NYA program found mis-
themselves as canvass
ers for NYA would be discharged
from their NYA work at once. He
added that the cooperation of school
and civic officials was being re-
quested in an attempt to identify
the canvassers. He also requested
that householders approached by
such agents report them immed-
lately to local police.
