Amarillo WPA sewing room pays first relief checks
The Amarillo sewing room under the WPA issued its first two week payroll of 5000 for 26 000 yards of material and produced about 9 994 garments as officials report relief needs. The project aims to clothe school children and adults on relief rolls with materials supplied by the Texas Relief Commission.
