KCITIUY. I.LF.eK ie. 1943. PLATTSMOUTH SEEL - WEEKLY JOfUNAI PAGE THEEI N.Y.A. Prepares Many Youths for Defense Positions Mechanical Shop and Production Projects Are Given to 2,100 Oat-of -School Youths After Mickev Mouse Hexes a Broom Geared to the nation's effort for all-out war production, the National Youth Administration in Nebraska is now preparing 2100 out-of-school youth for essential jobs as part of a nation-wide total of 182,000, ac cording to reports received today by Gladys J. Shamp, State Youth Ad ministrator. Production of planes, guns, ships. tanks and munitions of all kinds for the armed forces is urgent and by preparing young people for jobs in factories, shipyards and arma ments plants the NYA in Nebraska and throughout the country is mak ing its most important contribution to the war program, Miss Shamp said. NYA mechanical shop and produc tion projects are giving on-the-job training to 950 young men and young women in Nebraska and 83, 700 nationally. In workshops organ ized along industrial lines these young people are getting practical experience through the production of goods and learning their job through doing a job. The types of work carried on in Nebraska NYA shops includes machine shop work, sheet metal, welding, auto mechan ics, foundry, radio and electrical work, woodworking and industrial sewing. Nebraska's metal working shops are in operation at Lincoln, Omaha, Hastings, Eellevue and Kear ney. Woodworking shops are lo cated at David City, Grand Island, Omaha, Norfolk, and Hastings. In dustrial sewing projects where girls obtain experience in factory-type sewing, are located at Nebraska City, Lincoln, and Omaha. In Nebraska 650 youth are em ployed on NYA professional and clerical projects, which are giving experience to 4S.700 young people throughout the nation. Closely re lated to the war rogram, these proj ects include such activities as the clerical services for selective service boards, defense boards, and other local, county, state and federal gov ernmental agencies. NYA construction projects in the United States employ 17.500 youth of whom 100 are Nebraska youth. NYA construction has been devoted argely to the building of public facilities, such as prefabricated shop and dormitory facilities for NYA resident defense training projects and the new Lincoln community cen- ifi uunaing. ah construction proj ects will be rushed to completion ana wnere possible youth workers transferred to NYA war production projects. MA resident projects where young people live and work at the job site employ 400 Nebraska youth. The national total of youth in resi dent centers is 31,100. These centers were established primarily to give work experience and training to youth from rural areas and from small communities where job train ing facilities do not exist. The types of work done on resident projects include all of the major activities in the NYA program with emphasis on production shop work. Resident projects for boys are in operation at Bellevue and Kearney. Located near the sites of three of Nebraska's major defense activities, the bomber assembly plant at Omaha, and the ordnance plants at Wahoo and Grand Island, these NYA resident projects will serve as a sourceof labor sup ply for these war industries. NYA resident clerical projects employ girls at Hastings, Grand Island, and Omaha. In accordance with National Ad ministrator Aubrey Williams' recent order, a review of Nebraska's NYA project program has been made and plans completed for the closing of projects not completely devoted to the preparation of workers to man v.ar industry machines. jt,.iL.....i.m.i wmmmH 1 ' W- ' WM i T I i I, , . i. ri1-1" . . . ..,-,trrJ.... r-fa v- TiWifoi'itfirM 5 OCiAL Prom Thunfl y'm Dany Jolly Fourteen Club The Jolly Fourteen club met on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. j Alvin Smock.
