Youth Movement
Provides Much
Needed Activities
In Plattsmouth and Other Sections
of County Young Men Carry on
Community Work.
A program furnishing young people a means of earning a monthly
wage and at the same time making
possible many services beneficial to
the community Is being carried on
in Cass county through the work
projects of the National Youth Administration.
These young people, who are between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five,
are not attending school.
They work forty-si- x
hours per month
d
of
for which they receive
the WPA wage, a salary of thirteen
dollars monthly.
However, they do not displace the
regular employees of private industry or local government, since the
work in which they are engaged
would not be carried on were It not
for the NYA program.
The benefit of their work to the
community is manifest in the services they are making possible in
Plattsmouth, where their activities
are under the supervision of Superintendent of Schools Lowell S.
one-thir-
De-vo- e.
Regarding the NYA work here Mr.
Devoe has said:
"The moral development has been
the outstanding feature of the program. These young men and women
during the past winter have felt that
they are a part of the social order
and are proud of the fact that they
have an opportunity to make a contribution in a small way. I have
found the work projects of considerable value to my community."
Under Mr. Devoe's direction the
young people have been assisting in
supervision of lunch rooms throughout the entire school system. They
have also rendered a service to the
community by aiding with the copying of records at the city hall and
in landscaping the athletic park. Sev
eral
lots have been level
ed, which has done much to improve
the appearance of the city.
Mr. Devoe is of the opinion that
through the experience the youths
are getting in their work they will
find themselves better fitted for positions in private industry. This is
one of the most Important phases of
the program, since the preparation
and experience they receive is of
lasting value.
At Weeping Water Superintendent
of Schools L. A. Behrends was direct
ing the NYA work in that community. Much of the work done there
was for the improvement of educa
tional and recreational facilities.
These benefits are now being received
by all young people of the community.

books and acting as library assistant.
