You’ll have a more comfortable, more pleasant trip if you wait till after the summer rush period is over—if you go on Tues day, Wednesday, or Thurs day. And you’ll be saving space for those whose war time activities make it neces sary for them to travel on crowded week-ends. The Government has recog nized the need for recreation travel—but your cooperation in timing your trip well is essential.

Pinckney, State WPA Admini strator, has been designated as Federal Works Agency representa tive for South Carolina in, addi tion to his dtities with the WPA. Hereafter all applications for FWA projects in South Carolina will be Reared through Mr. Pinck ney’s office in Columbia. Under his direction applications will be processed and forwarded with recommendations to the regional FWA office in Atlanta and from there to the Washington central office of FWA for final action. Announcement of Mr. Pinckey’s appointment came from R. L. MacDougall, regional FWA director, in Atlanta. Heretofore South Carolina applications for FWA projects were handled by the At lanta office of the agency. Mr. MacDougall likewise an nounced that F. A. Buck, FWA engineer, had been assigned to South Carolina State office of WPA, 1400 Pendleton Street, Co lumbia, S. C., for the purpose of establishing and assisting in the organization of FWA procedures in this State. Mr. Buck will re main here to thoroughly train the staff of the WPA in the practice of preparing FWA project appli cations under FWA procedures. The FWA is the parent agency of WPA, the Bureau of Public Roads and the Bureau of Public % Buildings. Brigadier General Philip B. Fleming is national head of the FWA and is also acting commissioner of the WPA. Therefore there will be no over lapping of functions, the an- nouncemet of the new arrange ment sets out, nor will there be any change in the functions and operations of the WPA in this State. Mr. Pinckney said that the WPA operations in South Caroli na are continuing precisely as they have been heretofore. FWA projects to be initiated within this State will come under the provisions of what is known as the Lanham Act. This Act sets up funds for use in constructing and developing pressing public works projects necessary to the war effort of the United States. Once the need is established the FWA may move under the Lan ham Act to construct facilities es sential to the war effort in com munities where that need exists. If a community seeking facili ties as provided by the Lanham Act can sponsor projects with financial aid it will be expect ed to do so. If such communities cannot provide fi nancial assistance the FWA is empowered under the Act to pro ceed with construction, with Fed eral funds, based upon existing need under war conditions. Roads, schools, hospitals, water systems and the like, may properly come within the category of the Lan ham Act, according to officials, but their need in the prosecu tion of the war must be establish ed. For example, if a small com- munity finds its facilities inade quate to meet an expanded popu lation due to an influx of workers for the construction of a military post, army air field or the like, that community would be able to establish its need for construction of adequate facilities under the Lanham Act. Mr. MacDougall, in announcing the new set-up in his region, em phasized that the placing of receiv ing and processing FWA applica tions in the hands of State WPA Administrators “takes the spear head of negotiations right to the front door of prospective appli cants.” i “There will be no need for ap plicants to come to Atlanta,” he said. “These WPA Administra tors and their staffs are well a- ware of practically all community needs within their states and ap plicants will find they can talk the local language, whereas all we know in Atlanta about local prob lems is what is contained in the application.” Mr. MacDougall declared that $26,000,000 worth of additional war public works projects within the next 60 days is the aim of the Re gional FWA office. -x- Fur sales are in full swing so if you are buying a new fur coat keep in mind certain fundamen tals. First be sure that your coat is the correct size. One that is too small causes unnecessary strain on the skins and makes them wear poorly. Second, be very careful about style. Choose a conservative classic cut, one that will be wear able for several seasons without “restyling.” A fur coat is an in vestment that the average woman doesn’t make every year. * * * If you had corn-on-the-cob last night for dinner and some one’s appetite failed so that an ear or two were left over make this corn souffle tomorrow for luncheon.
