for them.
A sum of $308.75 is represent
ed in the total number of pro
jects approved and 8588 youths
are expected to join these al-
ready at work by -February 1
In addition to the 11770 youths
either working on or assigned to
NYA projects there are 1128
youths employed on WPA pro-
jects according to Lyndon B.
Johnson director of the Nation-
al Youth Administration in Texas.
The youths are engaged in a
variety of tasks. Some are or-
ganizing recreational and com
munity activities in rural and ur-
ban districts. Others are build
ing tiny road side parks school
bus stops and gravel school
walks. Some are. repairing cata-
loging and indexing library
books and others are engaged
in gathering historical data.
The projects are scattered to
the four corners of the state and
are being undetaken by the NYA
in patneship with local social or-
ganizations civic recreational
departments school groups and
others. The Texas Highway De-
partment is sponsoring 142 of
the projects which consist of
improving existing recreational
areas and building the minia-
ture parka school bus stops and
gravel school walks
The 8588 youths-scheduled to
be on the job by February 1
will bring the total of youths
employed as the result of the
NYA to approximately 27000
as 15000 students are engaged
in part-time work whih is en-
abling them to continue their
education.
"Youths 16 to 25 years old
from relief families are urged to
contact state or national re-em
ployment sevices and sign up
for jobs m the projects being ap
proved" Johnson said. "Our
problem is not a shotage of jobs
but a shortage of eligible youths
ready to fill jobs being created
daily."
