Chance for Youth In Defense Schools
Not Limited to Relief Families
C. J. Morgan, Nemaha County welfare director, late last week announced the opportunity for young men to enter schools for defense industry training has been widened. This is a NYA project.
It is now contemplated that NYA training in sheet metal work, welding, and other crafts involved in defense industry, will not be confined to young men from relief families but in general to all boys, 17 to 25.
There is one limitation in particular. NYA will not accept youths who have been regularly enrolled in school. In other words, they cannot interrupt their schooling to take NYA defense industry training.
Young men who want to know more about such training may get in touch with Mr. Morgan, who will arrange for a conference with Paul Kirkpatrick, NYA supervisor for this district. Mr. Kirkpatrick is former superintendent of schools in Marshall County.Courier Tribune (Seneca, KS) 14 Jul 1941
