experience the youth Of the nation
has become discouraged.
The employer cannot be blamed
tempo Of modern business Is so
e.. frely for this condition. The
great that the employer has little
time to spend on an inexperienced
youth. Therefore, each one hopes
that the other fellow win be gen.
erous enough to supply experience.
Problem Studied
Recognizing this grave problem
the federal government through the
National Youth Administration has
set up a program which will give
experience in various types Of work.
This has been going on for several
years now. However, due to the
emergency caused by the rearma-
ment program, NYA has enlarged
its facilities and will, in the very
near future, be able to give actual
work experience in several Of the
metal trades. The National Youth
Administration is now setting up in
Waterbury, new work center to
house these several new units.
Among these will be machine-ship,
sheet metal shop, welding unit and
possibly radio unit. In the machine
shop, boys will get actual experience
in work production on machine tools
such as drill presses, milling ma
chimes, planners, grinders and lathes.
In the sheet metal shop the boys
will get work experience in all types
of sheet metal work. In our welding
unit the youth will find complete
welding equipment with which he
can handle all types Of welding
jobs. The young people are paid by
the NYA while getting this work ex-
perience.
Competent Directors
Each of these shops will be under
the direct supervision of competent
men. Each one has served many
years years in his particular trade
and consequently can pass the fruits
of his experience on to young peo-
pie eager to learn.
NYA also offers many opportuni-
ties for girls in work of clerical
and non-clerical nature. The latest
addition to the girls division Is a
new power sewing machine unit.
Since Richard A. Barrett, state
administrator, feels that NYA is Of
fering service not only to the youth
of the city but also the community
as whole he would like every youth
in Waterbury and surrounding towns
to realize what opportunities and
advantages are offered by the Wa
terbury National Youth Admins
tration Work Center.
The Connecticut State Employ
ment Service is cooperating with the
NYA and any youth from II to "a
years of age interested in NYA
employment, may apply at the Office
of the State Employment Service on
Bank street or at the Porter street
school.
The youths on our rolls at the
time the new units are opened will
be given preference. Consequently,
anyone interested in NYA employ
ment should apply as soon as posi-

Careless Bed Smoker Is
Blamed for $1,000 Blaze
on Orange Street

A fire broke out early yesterday
morning at a tenement house on IS
Orange street and forced three fam
lilies to the street. Before the fire
could be extinguished, the damage
estimated was between $1,000 and
$4,000. The cause was attributed to
someone smoking in bed.
Occupants of the dwelling includ-
ed Mrs. Mary Donahue and her
seven children. The blaze started
on the third floor and the flames
were confined to the third floor
apartment.
Lieut.. Eugene Legge, assistant fire
marshal, reported that the property
is owned by Mrs. Ellen Rylance who
occupies the first floor.
One of Mrs. Traver's sons, accord

but the temptation was too great
and he finally pulled up at
roadstand where a little colored
boy was selling pecan nuts. Sam
shucked out ninety cents and
asked for ten pounds of nuts. The
little boy grinned and said; We're
all out of them cheap nuts, Mister,
but I got some right fancy stock
at ST." The South Britain native,
remembering the prices of pecans
up here, forked> over the dollar
and picked up a sack of nuts.
He got in his car and drove away.
That evening, in the hotel, Sam
weighed the purchase and it tip

pounds. ct will be different this

scales with him and he will stop
at that same roadstand and weigh
