N Y A to Provide
Jobs for Youths
Austin.—J. C. Kellam, Texas di-
rector of the National Youth Ad-
ministration, has announced that
» 165 work projects designed to pro-
vide part-time employment for
k 7,000 needy Texas youths had been
approved for operation during the
six months period ending Decem-
ber 31, 1937. Other projects may
v be added to the program as they
► are developed, he said.
The youths will be paid at pre-
vailing hourly wage rates and will
*■ work about one-third time. Dur-
ing their spare time they will be
encouraged to attend job training
( classes. The youths also wall be
given instruction by their fore-
\ man on the job.
i “In all our work we place ern-
" phasis on definite training values,”
Mr. Kellam explained. “The NYA
Project Superintendents are select-
ed for their ability to carry on the
work program, and that comes
first; then for their ability to give
fee youths instruction on and off
the job. Besides, parallel training
\ courses are offered through local
schools and under the Emergency
Education program. The wage
earned frequently enables the
part-time worker to take advan-
k' tage of this draining opportunity.”

San Antonio.—Tax returns and
remittances filed under provisions
of thm 3v..v; ,, St verity Act should
be sent to the Collector of Intern-
al Revenue and not to field offices
of the Social Security Board, it’
was announced recently by J. E.
Jackson, Acting manager of the
San Antonio office of the board.
“Although we have announced
at every opportunity that the
board has nothing to do with col-
lection of taxes imposed by the
act, many employers continue to
send us completed SS-1 forms, ac-
companied by checks, money or-
ders or cash.
“Employers will be doing them-
selves as well as the Social Securi-
ty Board a favor by sending their
returns and remittances to the col-
lector of internal revenue for the
district in which the employer’s
principal place of business is lo-
cated,” Jackson said.
Furthermore, tax return forms
(SS-1) are available only at in-
ternal revenue offices. This form
it was explained, is used each
month by employers in remitting
taxes imposed under title eight of
the Social Security Act. On this
form, employers report a one per
