MONDAY, JUNE 22, 19S0. PAGE SIX Sewing Projects Over State Makes Many Garments This Feature of WPA Secures Excel lent Results in Fifty-three Centers in State. First Lindbergh Law Victim Fast flying needles in the hands of 2,701 women employed on the 53 WPA sewing centers in Nebraska have produced 334,722 garments since the sewing projects were start ed last November, D. F. Felton, Ne braska WPA administrator, an nounced today. All of the clothing manufactured in the centers is distributed to needy families on relief thru the surplus commodities project, Felton said. "We are very proud of what has been accomplished by. these sewing projects," the WPA administrator said. "Through their efforts, many families have been given warm cloth ing and bed clothing during the cold winter months and this much of the burden has been taken from the books of the already financially hard pressed counties. "This type of project is a concrete refutation of charges of boon doggling. Not only do we provide clothing for those on relief and thus help the local communities but those projects also employ an aver age of 2,700 women who have been taken from the relief rolls and made self sustaining," he continued. "We consider this one of the best kinds of projects because 82.1 per cent of the money expended goes for labor, while only 17.9 per cent goes for material," Felton asserted. The largest sewing center in the state is at Omaha where 1,023 women are employed, 500 of whom are housed in one building. Lincoln's sewing center on which 218 women have been assigned for work is the second largest in the state, but near ly every county has at least one project of this kind, Felton said. Mrs. Ethel May Sanmann of Lin coln is state director of women's and professional projects and has super vision over the sewing centers. The average wage paid the work ers on this project i3 $45 for 136 hours work per month, Mrs. Sanmann said.

"Each woman is given six hours instruction a month along lines that will improve their homes. They are taught the essen tials of dieting, of budgeting the family Income, and of disease pre vention through sanitation. Thus, we are not only giving them Jobs but also rehabilitating them." The 53 sewing centers have pro duced the following articles of cloth ing since last November: 27,208 ladies dresses; 11,368 ladies slips; 2,069 ladies aprons; 375 ladies' blouses; 2,657 ladles' smocks; 4,653 ladies bloomers; 1,368 ladies' bras siers; 876 ladies step-ins; 11,7 63 Fancy Pinh 1.1b.

It read: "In the event the nomination for the vice presidency should become open I sincerely hope you may permit your name to be pre sented. No living man could dim the prestige of Landon so well as your self. Comparison of records would become an invited and inevitable challenge. Count me in should the contingency arise." The telegram and messages the governor said he received are in ad dition to some he received from friends in other states. Including Oklahoma and Florida, earlier in the year.
