Cultural Work Carried On


Cultural Work Carried On
The foregoing high points of
achievement and activity of the Di
vision of Operations have their
counterparts in the division of Pro
fessional and Service Projects
which provides clothing and serv-
ices to the needy for the mainten-
ance of decency and health, recre-
alton and education open to he pub
lie, and artistic and literary work
for maintaining the skilIs of pro-
fessional workers and for making
permanent contribution to the cul-
tural use of the people.
Outstanding in this group of
projects are five nursery schools
with an average enrolment of 40
children in each, from two and a
half to four years of age. While
their mothers work, they are given
correct dietary and proper habit
forming care Also the Braille
project for the blind, winch gives
work to Is previously dependent
blind persons in transcribing for
blind readers throughout the State
interesting books and articles. To
date 27,147 pages have been made
available by these workers. Reach
ing the greatest number of persons
is the assistance of this division OF
WPA toward developing and ex-
tending the recreational facilities of
the State. It supplies workers for
IL of the city Fairgrounds during
the summer months, and in addi-
ton, has operated numerous sum
mer centers in smaller commun-
tiles. The division operates the
only free, full-time recreation cent
ers in Wilmington, one for white
and one for Negro children.
The professional work includes a
Delaware church inventory by the
Historical Records Survey, arrang-
ed by denominations, from the old
est to the newest church congre-
cations. Much historical research
has gone into the preparation Of
the brief histories that will be the
preface to the account of each
church. The sections of the in-
ventory are now being read by
local citizens who are authorities
on their respective denominations.
Clergymen, church officers, and
church organizations throughout
4 the State have cooperated with the
project in the effort of the super
visors and workers to have every
entry made in the final copy, accur-
ate in every detail Inventories Of
4 county records in the three coun-
ties are also in the final checking
stage for accuracy.
i The Art Project since the begin
ming of 1886 has given employment
to 40 different artists and has
produced murals, easel paintings
and many fine plates Of articles
made by early craftsmen and still
owned in Delaware. Of the mural
paintings, six are in the Smyrna
Special District School, five in the
Georgetown School, two in the
Claymont School, two at the
Marine Terminal and three NOV
able murals in the Wilmington pub
( lie schools. At present. seven ad-
ditional murals for schools and
public buildings are underway. The
project illustrated the Delaware
Guide and teaches several classes.

Finnish reports from the
front were that the cold was
so intense that a large proper

froze TO death In no mans

picked up.
Prisoners and dead bodies

Finnish officers said they saw
many scraps of evidence pointing
TO a Russian plan for continued
attack against the 60-mile front Of
the Mannerheim line and the front
north of Lake Ladoga needless Of
appalling losses. This plan, it
was represented. was based on
belief that with its enormous pre-
ponderance in man power, Russia
could wear down the
Firms.
An officer just back from the
front north of Lake Ladoga told
me that one of the most CHASTITY
sights he ever saw was that of
of Russian dead lying in
the woods
From their attitudes Of agony,
he said, 1t was apparent most OF
them were first merely wounded
and then frozen TO death. There
