Emergency crop and feed loans
will not be made by the Farm
Credit Administration to standard
rehabilitation clients of the Re
settlement Administration wttqse
current needs are provided for by
Resettlement.
As in the past, the security for
these loans will consist of a first
lien on the crop financed if the
loan is for the production of crops,
and if for the purchase of feed for
'ivestock, then a first lien on the
livestock to be fed. Landlords, or
others having an interest in the
crops or livestock to be fed, will
be required to waive their claims
in favor of the lien to the Governor
of the Farm Credit Administration
until the loan is repaid.
Checks in payment of the ap
eral funds for this purpose. Fed
eral funds will be available through
the month of February. After this
time the county office will be clos
ed and no further cash relief can
be given to needy cases until the
General Assembly passes proper
legislation for participation in the
provisions of the Social Security
Act.
In addition to administering aid
to its regular clients, the Tempo

Second Term For
NYA Camps Opens
This and next week mark the
end of the first camp period for
and to aid them in any way pos- j the two NYA Camps for Young
| Women being conducted in South
Carolina. Camp Pe-Wil-Bur-Wnit-
Cade, for Negro Girls, closes Feb
ruary 27th and Camp Williams
burg, for White Girls, closes March
5th. y
The second term for each camp
begins immediately with a :iew
group of campers selected from
the NYA program of each county.
3ver a hundred girls will be ac
commodated at Camp Williams
burg for the second term, while
.about seventy-five will be quartcr-
^ at Pe-WiJ-Bur-Whit-Ca .' e,
vhich has smaller facilities.
. For more than three months the
campers have enjoyed a camp pro-
rram planned to make them
v >ep]thier and better fitted to take
their places in the NYA program
of their respective counties. Be
ginning with her selection as a
prospective camper and continuing
through the final physical exami
nation before departing for home,
a careful check is kept on the de
velopment of each camper. More
specifically, the procedure is as
follows:
Each county is given a definite
quota of campers for each camp.
The NYA county supervisor then
selects from her program girls be
tween the ages of 18 and 25 years
who meet the requirements as to
character, education, health, and
prospective leadership. The county
supervisor assumes responsibility
Tor securing Health examination,
clothing, and transportation for
the campers of her county. Upon
arriving at camp, enrollees are
carefully checked by the camp
nurse and physician before being
assigned to one of the dormitories.
Having passed the processing
procedure, recruits are now ready
to be initiated into the rudiments
of group living. The camp staff,
composed of experienced members,
spend some time in studying the
Records accompanying the appli-
cationsc of -the campers. These rec
ords', supplemented by personal in
terviews, enable the staff to group
the recruits in similar groups for
work, study and play.
The daily schedule at each camp
calls for a division of the day in
to work, rest, study, and play. Each
camper devotes her allotted time
to each of these activities unless
some unexpected happening breaks
into the normal schedule. For rec
reation, tennis, indoor basketball,
handball, soft ball and table games
are provided. A modest library and
classrooms afford an opportunity
to read and study. Each camper
enrolls for a definite number of
courses in social science, English,
Hygiene and citizenship. As a reg
ular part of the camp program,
work projects are maintained at
which each camper works a maxi
mum of seventy hours a month.
For her work, she receives suffi
cient funds to care for board,
■edging, etc., and in addition, five
dollars per month for personal
expenses. Realizing chat wholesome
food is a requisite of a good camp,
good food is provided at each meal,
[n short, nothing is spared to make
?amp life a safe, a pleasant and
a profitable experience for those
who attend.
Camo Williamsburg is under the
immediate direction of Miss Fay
Hudgens, assisted by a staff of
twelve; Camp Pe-Wil-Bur-Whit-
Cade is in charge of Josie Hazel,
assisted by a staff of ten. Miss
Rebecca Reid, NYA Staff, is gen
eral supervisor. These Staffs are
indebted to state and local com
mittees, and to WPA and other
organizations for making such a
program possible. * .
