267 Unemployed Women Given Work In Relief Project
More than 58 000 hours of work supported 267 unemployed women in Cedar Rapids last winter yielding over 17 500 dollars in wages. Sewing produced 9 689 garments while other tasks included mending cleaning bookkeeping and inventory work. Centers at the YWCA and Community House operated from December 31 to May 29 serving women ages 17 to 72 of diverse backgrounds. The report credits donations from local groups and individuals and notes the program kept materials from waste while training women in sewing and related skills.
