BUILDING SECTION
NYA B|eaeher Setup Near Completion
$500 Construction
Provides HIS. with
Permanent Stands

National Youth Admins
tration builders passed the
two-thirds completion mark
in their bleacher construc-
ton project at the Ell Cen
tro high school Saturday, according
to Carl Gober, district manager
and Bill Moody, project manager.
The bleacher section, constructed
for permanent use at the high
school football field, will seat 1400
persons and is the first section in
a proposed program which will in
clude the building for permanent
bleachers from goal line to goal
line on both sides of the field.
The initial bleacher section was
constructed at cost of $500 for
material. Labor costs arc paid by
the NYA fund.
All workmanship is done by boys
of high school and Junior college
age with r. E. league, local car
penter, as supervisor and director
of construction work.
Builders Supply company furn-
ished material for the atwood
structure, which was built over a
concrete foundation. The project
is scheduled to be completed July
l, according to Moody.
The boys engaged in construc-
ton work gain valuable experience
in carpentry, concrete work, eXcava-
ton, and painting, Moody said.
The bleacher project is only one
of several such projects completed
during the year by the NYA, Carl
Gober said. During the past year a
total of 273 youths have been en-
listed by the work program of the
NYA. This number does not in
clude those youths taking full school
work and being assisted by the STU
dent work program operated by
the schools.
The youths on the out-of school
program have gained experience in
clerical work, office procedure, nur-
scry, landscaping, shop work and
many other forms of training other
than construction work, Gober said
The young men are paid from
Sl8 to $21 per month for so hours
hours work. Work is planned to be
as nearly like private employment
as possible. Eighty-seven boys have
transferred from NYA jobs to pri.
vate employment during the pas
year.
Approximately $4,000 has beer
paid in salaries in Imperial county
during the past year.
