Sixty Workshops
Operated In State
By NY A Projects
AUSTIN, Jan. —Sixty workshops |
have been set up throughout the j
State since the inception in June,
1938, of a statewide workshop pro- i
gram to give unemployed Texas J
youth work experience and training |
to help fit them for earning a liv- j
ling, according to J. C. Kellum, j
Suite NYA administrator.
Training, he said, in woodwork j
ing, general metal working, auto
n homes, aviation mechanics, radio,
sheet metal work, arts and crafts,
foundry work, and farm shop work
afford the needy out-of-school youth
of Texas an opportunity to work
and earn money while they learn.
The San Marcos Resident Center,
giving instruction in the fundament-
als of wpodworking, general metal
working, and auto mechanics, was
the fiyst workshop to be started,
Kellam said. He added that since
that time the remainder of ^he sixty
vr.rk'hops have been set up with I
the advice of local advisory coin
mittees and in conjunction with city
and county sponsors, school systems,
qounty political subdivisions, and
state institutions of higher learn-
ing.
Occording to Kellam, thebe local
committees advise and help set up
policies as to the type of training
to fit youth, the labor turnover,
and the future employment possi-
bilities in various trades in each
particular community. One of the
main services of these committees

work experience as apprentices in

Kellam declared that in setting
up the program the National Youth
Administration had been fortunate
in having the advice and help of a
statewide committee composvd of
outstanding leaders in Industry,
Education, and Labor. ,. f
Members of the statc-wfle com-
mittee are Harry W. Acreman, Ex-
ecutive Secretary. Texas State Fed-
eration of Labor; Frank Kinzbach,
President, Kinzbach Tool Company;
C. E. Doyle, County Superintend* n
of Education; S. W. Doerner, Busi-
ness Agent, International Machin-
ists Union; Carl White, President,
White House Printers, Inc.; R. C.
Feagin, Houston Foundry and Ma-
chine iCofcipany; C. L. Mulholland,
Field Representative, Internationa!
Mschinistr Union; C. D. .FVans,
President, Southwest Texas State
Teachers College; and Travis J.
Lewis, former member of the State
Planning Board, representing labor,
and NYA Field Supervisor, who
serves as consultant to the com
mittee.
‘‘The most satisfying knowledge
to me,” concluded State Adminis
trator Kellam, “is that in aequirng
coordination of hand and mind in
NYA workshops- to better equip
them for private employment, these
youths have received work experi-
ence in basic fundamentals of mod-
ern shop equipment as well as a
thorough background of necessary
safety standards."

“What do you expect? This is

pathetic efforts to celebrate. There
was a small tree. Its decorations
were pieces of tin cans, military

There were cries of “Merry

on a balalaika.

For Lydia the long years of war
were harder, perhaps, than they
were for Peter. As Masha had
written, she went from one dreary
cafe to another, singing for sqough
food to keep from starving. Her

her forever — she was as one who

They all rose looking toward the
door. From the Austrian trenches
came the sound of voices singing
“Silent Night.” w
"But their Christmas was two

"They're singing for us,” said
Peter, as they all went to the door
and looked out.
There was a small lighted Christ-

Austrian trench. Others followed
In the falling snow with the Ver-

As the lest notes of the Aus-
