REDUCTIOil DUE
111 COUNTY ROLL
IN SHORT Ili ItiE
Businessmen Asked to Help
In Move To Reduce
Relief Cost
The number of Works Progress
ildministration employes in Ga-
v n county already reduced 75
lair cent over the number of men
employed last fall is due for an-
t her drastic cut Nv ith i n the next
loy weeks possibly by Scptem-
ht! 1st
This was brought out here Tues-
day afternoon at a meeting of WPA
oil icials county and city commissioners
and city businessmen in the Chamber
of Commerce office and was an-
nounced Tuesday night at a meeting
of WPA laborers
Jack Conn employment director for
Hie fifth district with headquarters
in Ardmore who wai in charge of
the meeting said this action was to
be taken in keeping with the gov-
ernment's intention of reducing the
WPA rolls as quickly as possible dur-
ing the recovery period
Wants It To End
We don't want to perpetuate this
ig" Conn declared "Personally
I yin be glad when the day comes
when there won't be any WPA when
there won't be any need for it"
The meeting was called that the
WPA officials could get the views
of businessmen and heads of city and
county governments as to what would
be the best method of reducing the
rolls
Conn called upon the businessmen o
Garvin county to cooperate with the
district office in Ardmore in cornice-
t ion with the WPA employment
"When you know of some WPA work-
er who has been offered private em-
ployment and has turned it down
write us a letter and let us know about
It That's the only way we have of
tinding out these things because we
don't have any record of it other-
wise" Fears Are False
Conn said it probably' was true that
some WPA men had refused tern-
poiary private employment because
they feared by doing so they would
not be permitted to return to the
VPA This lie declared is not true
The workers were assured at the Tues-
day night meeting that by receiving
private employment they would not
be slashed from the relief rolls
Ile declared WPA workers were be-
mg encouraged to accept private em-
ploYment whenever possible and that
II was hoped that through this method
the time will come soon when it will
he possible to end relief work
Clyde Burton county WPA super-
limn' said about 200 men now are
employed on the WPA in Garvin
county as compared with about 600
last fall He estimated between 80
and 90 per cent of these now working
ore physically able to accept private
employment the others being older
men who might not be able to do
hard work day in and day out
Affect Roads First
Conn predicted the coming cut in
WPA workers probably would affect
work on rural roads more than any
other projects
He assured Mayor Mason Hart that
projects like the sewer job now go-
ing on in south Pauls Valley which
would be a loss if not completed would
he carried out
It was the consensus of those pres-
ent that private employment would in
all probability pick up in Garvin
comity with the opening of the cot-
Pin picking season within a few
vocks
Conn also called upon the people to
rontaet Burton at the county WPA
('lice here when they know of private
jobs which are available declaring it
was to the individual's benefit linan-
c1)Ily as well as otherwise to lend
all assistance possible in reducing the
rolls and cutting down the expense
il the relief work
J F Pratt Jr also of the Ardmore
oistriet WPA office accompanied Conn
