in the North Central Texas area
have reduced their wages approxi-
mately B cents, but not necessarily
to 25 centa. Some counties in
Texas are paying no more than 15
cents per hour, and based their
scale on the prevailing wage of that
eounly.
The average wape in Young coun-
ty is about 25 cents per hour, hence
the five-cent cut, Mr. Hutchings
said.
Elaborating on the change in the
program, the administrator declav-
Thua, he said, the reduction in
wages increases the number of
hours worked and not the amount
of money expended. Since clients
are only paid the minimum amount
required to supply necessities, reduo
tion under that figure would keep
them from having sufficient food
and clothing, Mr. Hutchings said.
Grady Walker, field representa-
tive of the state office, and J. D.
King, work supervisor, were in
Graham Tuesday and expressed
their satisfaction with the admin
istrat on of the work being done in

) the same holds true in regard to

It is more difficult to pick the

last year and despite an injured
shoulder, has played powerful foot-
ball most of this season, part of
which hap beyn spent in the back*
field. Local players rate him as ouo
of file best linesmen they have en-
countered this season.
One could ,not be badly mistaken
in putting John Cogdell of Crowall
or Vaught of Olney at the other
guard, however^ an all-d strict team
