EDUCATION FOR - PUBLIC SE SERVICE

Governmental Cl Class Holds * Important Place in Activities.

ore

~ Training of young men and wom- * en for public service careers is one ‘of the most important activities of * the National Youth Administration, Indianapolis project officials said : y. % PEnrollees attend a class in munis cipal government and supplement . the classroom study with regular ~ trips to civic centers. The NYA “traffic project now being conducted «in Indianapolis is a part of this «instruction. The SOveFTUnGNG class “is ‘supervised by N. 8. Hollis. Stephen D. Crain, ‘trafic project ~ superintendent, believes the NYA “program increases the morals and + =gonfidence of the youths. It pro«vides the workers with contacts and “helps them in getting other jobs, “he said. Boys Do Field Work

Eighty per cent of the present

“enrollment is composed of boys. |

*‘The ‘actual field work for the sur"veéys is done by them, Mr. Crain

. said, and girls are used as office “clerks and to assist in tabulating “the statistics. One of the best evidences that this work helps youths, Mr. Crain sald, is the fact that about 10 per ~ cent of the original endowment has secured jobs in private employment. ~The traffic survey office this week ~completed tabulations of more than . 800,000 Indianapolis automobiles “checked by NYA workers for traffic observance in the mile-square area, - +officials said.

100 Worked on Project

The completed survey was made by approximately 100 youths on the project, the purpose of which was to provide the police department with figures showing intersections where trafic violations occurred ‘most frequently. © Thirty-six intersections controlled by traffic lights were checked during the past 60 dys. A record was also made of the number of violators who did not stop at through streets. __ Pinal results of this survey will be released next week, Mr, Crain said. Since January the NYA office has

completed three surveys on traffic,

observance in the downtown district. Other surveys include an investiga- _ tion of the number of illegally parked cars in the business district, and the distribution of 5000 questionnaire blanks relating to the public's attitude on traffic problems. ~ On June 30 the NYA traffic office “is to close, it was stated. Project officials are planning other traffic ‘surveys, in the event that the work As continued into the next fiscal year. . Last week a second check on illegally parked cars was started at “the suggestion of Chief Morrissey.

Chamber Sponsors Project

‘ "The Chamber of Commerce has «sponsored the survey work since SJanuary. Project officials have con- . ferred with Chief Morrissey, Capt. “Lewis Johnson, traffic department head, and other city officials regard- - ing the survey activity. It is the belief of those who have ‘co-operated in the traffic investigations that the survey work commenced this year will enable police * officials to chart a more effective usafety program for the city, Other large cities, it was learned “have inaugurated traffic investiga“tions to furnish officials with data for an accident prevention program. ~The NYA surveys were the first of the kind to be conducted here, Mr. Crain said. Recreation Is Provided

The NYA project has been under the supervision of Mrs. William P. Snethen, director of ‘public service projects. Mr, Crain, as project superintendent, has been assisted by E. B. Mull and Gene L. Hass. Last month the boys on the proj- : eg three soft ball teams to in the Woodside WPA ? e. Mr. Hass is in charge of boys’ recreation. ' Miss Helen Swoyer, Y. W. C. A. {ndustrial secretary, assists with the recreational activity for the girls. Study group periods, hikes and outings occupy the girls during their Jeisure time.
