New Work Program
Available To Able
Bodied, Unemployed

A new work program for men
able to work but who are unem-
ployed and in need, is now avail
able through the Garrett County
Welfare board, it was announced
yesterday by Robert w. Stemple,
executive director.
Since July, 1862, this assistance
program has been in effect. Mary
lands Welfare department plan
was approved some three weeks
ago and Garrett county's plan was
approved Tuesday, to become
either the first or second one in
the state to qualify.
There are now provisions in the
state for establishing work pro-
grams for such men and such prof.
ects have been recently approved.
Mr.. Stemple said this would aid
some IS to 20 men right away,
who will be put to work by the
County roads department. Men will
be assigned to the department and
the kind of work will involve roads
maintenance, improvement of rights
of way, and other work. They will
start to work on Monday, Novem-
ber 4.
Mr.. Stemple said no county funds
would be involved in the project
other than it would be necessary
for the department to carry work
mems compensation and social Sc
curity for the workers The prof.
ect is primarily federal with some
state aid.
The State Welfare department
said the purpose of the program
would be "to improve the economic
status of the individual by devel-
oping and preserving good work
habits, increasing existing skills
and teaching new skills.
He said any local government
body may request similar projects
and if approved would furnish the
number of men available at the
time. The salaries are to be paid
through the Welfare department,
at the regular salary schedIle.

Uniform Time To Be
Effective Sun. A. M.

The nation will be of one accord
in regard to the time question be-
ginning Sunday morning. Garrett
county returned to standard time
the last Sunday morning in Sep
tember, but Allegany county, Balti-
more and other parts of Maryland,
and most of the Eastern seaboard
remained on daylight time for an
additional month.
Television will be back on stand
ard time schedules and railroad
trains will return to normal. Rail
roads have operated on standard
time throughout the summer
months, but the schedule was put
out of joint by the elimination or
enlargement of number of tun-
nels on the main line between
Grafton and Parkersburg. This
work has now been completed and
trains will return to their regular
fail and winter schedule.
The schedule will be as follows,
beginning Sunday morning:
Eastbound: train 2, 2:33 a. m;
train 80, 8:31 a. M; train II, 5:53
p" m.
Westbound train %, 4:23 a. M;
train II, 1880 p. M, train 1, 11:08

After Sunday morning there will
be only the normal differences in
the different time zones.
