WASHINGTON,
Today we celebrate the birthday
Of one who gained much fame,
For truthfulness and valor
George Washington was his
name,
He was just like othet boys
Happy and carefree,
But he would not tell a lie
When he cut down the cherry
tree,
He led his troop to battle
And they said aoopuy him then,
He was first in war, first in peace,
And first in the hearts of his
countrymen.
e became our first President
And every heart he won,
Today he still is listed
Our nation’s hero number one.

To one who was so fine,
He left behind no son

At the Centre County Home, a
large NYA group is assisting under
the guidance of Lhe superintendent
and matron. This project is partie-
ularly valuable in that it furnishes
young women practical training in
domestic activities, under exeellent
environment and with the last word
in modem equipment Girls are
specially selected for these dinties
because of their expressed liking {or
housework. The Philipsburg State
Hospital operates a sewing room
where girls, employed by NYA, make
surgienl dressings and other arlicles

hospital wards. A group of boys, who
want to become painters, are refin-
ishing desks and chairs at this in-
stitution
Because of
NYA construction jobs have neces.
sarily been curtailed. But one job,
in Port Matilda, is going right along
because of its urgeney. This is a fire
protection measure, A group of
young men are hurrying the con-
struction of approaches to the creek
that flows through the village in or-
der that fire apparatus may make
use of this one and only source of
water. Two are practically complete
and a third is well under way, all
on borough owned sireets. One of
these facilities is near the town
school house. Thus, under the su-
pervision of streel commissioner H
C. Woodring, Port Matilda has add-
ed fire protection and a group of
unemployed young men have added
to their store of useful accomplish-
ment and civie pride, at the same
time learning the use of elementary
tools
Quite a number of other projects
are being considered by Mr. Scott
and his staff in the four counties of
Centre, Clinton. Cameron, and Pot-
ter that he supervises, All are sCan-
ned for two primary purposes, the
benefit that will accrue to the com-
munity through their operation, and
the training and future employment
value that each enterprise possesses
of youth engaged
But employment is only one phase
of the NYA program
Of equal importance is the voea-
tional guidance offered by NYA. The
initial interview of a youth Is a
friendly conversation to uncover the
ambitions of a boy or girl, their
| schooling and other background, and’
their attempts to secure private em-
ployment. Then every effort is made
foster the desires of those who!
“know what they want"sand to lead
the uncertain inte employment fields
for which they are best fitted. Pur-
i there educational pursuits are en-
couraged and quite frequently such
advantages are made possible
through the contacts of the NYA
| supervisory staff. This staff is also.
in constant co-operation with em-
‘ployment services and employers,
and are many times in a position to |
| suggest a worthy youth for private
| emplayment. |
| Once placed on an NYA project,
ia youth is not left to feud for hime

periodic check-up and, if necessary,
