Many Young Men To Be Enrolled For Monroe County To Have Its Quota Ready For January When Assign- ments Are Made (Special to The Citizen) JACKSONVILLE, Fia., Dec. 2. State Welfare District No. 10 of which Monroe county is a part, will enroll 45' young men for the CCC in January. in the event estimates submitted to Washington by the State Welfare Board are accepted. Estimates for the next enroll- ment were sent in today for the entire state by Jack Horne, State Welfare Board CCC enrollment director. "The figures represent the num- ber’ of eligible young men the State Welfare Board estimates will desire enrollment in the January CCC call, Horne stated. The estimate will be used by the U. S. Department of Labor as the basis for establishing the Florida replacement quota. While the primary considera- tion in determining a state’s re- placement quota is the number of men enrolled from the state who have left the corps since the last enrollment, the Depart- ment of Labor requisition will not exceed the selecting agency's estimate, Horne explained. Thus, if other state’s estimates are less than the replacement quota to whieh they are entitled on the basis of population, states mak- ing estimates that are in excess of .renla, en! will be allowed to make up the short- age. The Florida estimate has been made after taking into considera- tion the actual number of anpli- cations now on file, general con- ditions and seasonal employment, Horn stated. Eligibility requirements for those who. would enroll in the CCC are: Must be citizens of the U. S., unemployed and in need of employment, of good character, between 17 and 23 years of age, not in regular attendance at school, physically and mentally fit, willing to serve one full term of six months. Applications for this county will be taken by the district welfare beard. May Have Been An experimenter extinguished a candle flame by playing a high note'on the violin.
