NYA WORKSHOP
GETS COUNTY OK
VICTOR LOWE ADDRESSED
SPECIAL SESSION LAST
NIGHT ON PLAN

Victor Lowe, supervisor of the
activities of the National Youth
Administration in Key West, adj
dressed the meeting of the board
of county commissioners last
night regarding a new project
which is to be started in Key
West.
The project is one for training
the youth of the city in the repair
of automobiles and radios but the
price of the rental of a building
to carry on the work was found
to be prohibitive. Mr.. Lowe de-
cided to erect a place in the rear
of the city hall, which he said
was admirably located and suit
able for the work.
Mr.. Lowe explained that the
material to be used in fitting out
the building would cost about SIS
and the city council had promised
TO donate half that amount, and
he was asking the county to do
nate the other $3.50, and said
that he felt safe in predicting
that the board would be amply
repaid for what was given.
On motion seconded and car
ried the amount of $3.50 was
awarded Mr. Lowe and Commits
sioner VIM. MonSalvatge was
instructed to cooperate with Mr..
Lowe in carrying the plan to con-
cluSion.

OF STATE


WORLDS FAIR, N. Y. June
29.-The management of the Flo
rida State Exhibit at the New
York Worlds Fair, has taken steps
to focus the attention of its
thousands of visitors every day,
upon the possibilities of not only
the Incompatible Florida beaches
on both the Atlantic and the Gulf
coasts, but the entire state from
Pensacola to Key West, as a
place to spend the summer as
well as the winter months.
The development of the simu-
lation of Florida beach, with its
coral sands brought from the vici-
nifty of St. Augustine, along the
full length of the Liberty Lake
side of the Florida building helps
greatly in the carrying out of the
plans of the management in the
direction of creaIIng conscious
ness of Florida as a summer re-
sort. Pretty girls chosen from
among the personnel diSporting
themselves in bathing or play
suits on the beach" or along the
thousand feet of board walk, add
/. to the interest and serve to at
tract visitors to the exhibit
That the idea is. catching on
with the public is mani
tested by the gre atly
increased number of inquiries at
the information booths for book
, lets or other forms of literature
telling of hotel, apartment or
room rates and explaining why
Florida is warm IN winter and
cool in summer.
The idea Is prevalent that be-
cause the state IL warm in winter
it must be a raging furnace in
summer and that idea must be
diSpelled, as it is being diSpelled
by the demonstrations now being
carried on at the Florida exhibit
at the Worlds Fair. II is ex-
planned that the state Is a long
narrow peninsula. only 40 miles
wide at its widest part. with the
Atlantic on one side and the Gulf
of Mexico on the other swept at
all times by gentle salt water

ter trade maintaining a

as well as bv the evaporation
from the myriad lakes which dot
the Florida landscape
That Florida is an air condi-
toned state making II a resort
state IN summer as well as in
winter IS being stressed and i'm
pressed upon the minds of visit

NEED FOR TRAINED

WORKERS STRESSED
Especial to The Citizen)


DAYTONA BEACH, June %
Addressing Florida's third annual
Trade and Industrial School here
recently. George P. Hambrecht.
famed Lincoln scholar and state
director of vocational education
in Wisconsin, told story all
America should hear.
In 1922, Hambrecht said. he
went to Europe to study voca-
tiOnal education methods abroad.
Everywhere he was confronted
with signs of postwar poverty.
Especially in Germany, three
years after Versailles, was power
ty abject He saw long breadlings,
and people walking the streets
without enough to wear. But vo-
cational schools in Germany he
found running full time. A ma
ton of skilled workers was being
trained.
How can you afford to do it?"
Hambrecht asked. we cannot
affort not to do it." he was told.
In England, where things were
relatively better, Hambrecht
said, vocational schools were shut
down He asked why. Why,
man, we've been through a ter
rible war; they told him, we
can't afford it. We can hardly
keep our elementary schools
open, and our secondary schools,
and colleges and universities. !"
And in France, it was the same.
As if to point the terrible
moral. Hitler, while Hambrecht
spoke, was marching into Paris.
Hambrecht, urging immediate
action in this direction, said that
vocational authorities recently
got together IN Washington and
drafted emergency training pro-
pOSals which would double the
output of mechanics IN this cOun-
try each year. The program could
get under way within two weeks.
he said.
But ne intimated that Washing
ton may choose to handle the ad-
ministration end of it through
other agencies, the W.P.A-, the
c. c. C.. the n. Y. A. and so on.
rather than directly through the
u. S. Office of Education, IN
which event he was afraid time
might be lost. For the nation
wide network of existing facili-
ties for vocational training is
what will have to do the training
job, and existing facilities fall
under the Office of Education
Whatever course is decided
upon, however" he said, I'VE
must forget our difference of
opinion, and all work together.
