employment
An NYA project already In opera.

of two additional shop units and a
large dormitory during the summer
will make possible the enlargement of

applications for additional enrolment

The resident project at Helena will
offer youth enrollees training in avia-
ton mechanics, in radio construction

struction fields, McMurphy said. Ap-
plicants will be separated into three
groups. The first group. comprising
youth under IL who are interested in

mechanics, should apply for enroll
ment in the aeronautics school di-
rectly to Helena school district num-
Der one. Tuition for such persons is
paid by the county of their residence,
according to Montana law. For this
reason, 1t is necessary that such ap-
plications reach Helena early so that
county commissioners may be notified
and arrange for the necessary transfer
of funds. Applicants in this group
may or may not, according to their
needs, apply for enrolment in the
NYA resident project.
A second group of youth, from 81
to "a years, should also apply to Hell
ena school district number one for
enrolment in the aeronautics school;
