In view of this situation, the machine shop at Florence and Columbia are now taking girls for this type training. These girls will be trained in actual shop work and upon their qualifying, they will take the places of men In industry. A youth who enters a center remains for a period of ten weeks to three months. Entering without a prior knowledge of machinery or shop technique, he or she learns the rudiments of sharers, lathes, planers, brakes, , milling machines or power sewing machine as well as shop methods and fundamental practices. The work is under constant supervision of qualified instructors, and as youth complete their training they are placed in various war Industries through the United States Employment Service. The requirements of the NYA are those of industry, a sound body and a keen mind. The age Imilt for war production projects ranges from 17 to 24 years of age. Tn addition to the furnishing of food and lodging at the center dormitories and mesa halls, the youth is paid a small wage for his or her services. <?

While tuberculosis attacks the aged, as well as the young?no one ever reaches an age that Is safe from tuberculosis?the disease does Its heaviest raiding during the early adult years. It particularly strikes during the 'teen years. And it kills more persons between the ages of 16 and 45 than any other cause of death. Will all the young readers get a clean tuberculosis bill of health by having an x-ray? Will all readers who are not geting, enough rest and relaxation, are working overtime and who, perhaps, are being forced to live In more crowded quartets, be particularly careful of their physical condition. The tuberculosis germ readily takes advantage of any lowering of body's resistance. A chest x-ray may be the best Investment one can make with a small part of their overtime. To all of you In these four groups, as well as to all other readers of The Camden Chronicle, we want to say?we know that when you feel all right that It takes courage and intelligence to be examined deliberately for tuberculosis and face the chance of finding that you have It. But don't think you are borrowing trouble. If you have caught the disease (and you may have tuberculosis and still feel good) sooner or later you'll pay the price of active tuberculosis. And, If much later you may have to pay the full price. Dr. Dublin says, "People do not die from tuberculosis, they die of neglect", and failure to have an x-ray may be the biggest neglect "The sooner the better" has no closer application than in tuberculosis. Early discovery of the disease means early recovery. If you have tubercu losis the association Is here to help 'you. The chances are strong that 'your x-ray will not show active disease. But make snre. Make sure for yonr sake. Make sure for the sake of those closely associated with you. Through the purchase of Christmas Seals you finance us to do a vital job for you, your family and those less fortunate than you?wipe out the' 1 menace of tuberculosis. We are trying to do it. But we must have your cooperation, You must do your part by coming to ua If we are to gl^e you value received for your Chrletmaa Seal dollar. - | We trust you will answer this letter la person by a visit to your pkf strlun / Cut The Weeds Advises Agent - % By eliminating weeds that compete with desirable pasture grasses for plant food and moisture, farmers can develop a better sod and produce more grazing for their livestock, V. T. Mullen, Work Unit Conservationist of the Lynches River Soil Conservation District this week. This is especially desirable in view of the need for Increased grazing in the Food-for-Freedom program, Mr. Mullen says. Weeds compete for space, plant food and moisture, and in case of large weeds, shade out the smaller growing plants or reduce their growth to the extent that little grazing is provided. Early mowing is desirable, but one mowing won't do the job. Weeds come in cycles and must be mowed several times during the growing season to prevent reseeding. The best time to mow is when the , bloom first appears. Mr. Mullen pointed out. At this stage the food reserve of weeds is at its lowest point .and there is no danger of scattering seed by mowing operation. Hand pulling or cutting will control weeds on areas which cannot be reached with a mower. Weeds in pastures compete with desirable pasture grasses Just as weeds on cultivated lands compete with row crops. Elimination of these weeds is an operation that will pay good returns in Improved grazing and*the development of more desirable sod from an erosion control standpoint.
