looking at houses in Washington
County, and said the condition of
most of the houses was “terrible.”
You could see daylight right
through the walls, there were holes
in the roofs, and some had no win
dows, Barnard said. “You just
know the program is working when
you fix a hole in the roof.”
The program allows for a
maximum of $250 for each house
and only can be used for individual
homeowners, not landlords. The
money received for the program is
used to buy supplies, Barnard said,
but the labor must come from
somewhere else. The Comprehen
sive Employment and Training Act
(CETA) program and the Senior
Texans Employment Program have
provided some of the labor.
"We have tried to get volunteers,
such its church groups, to help us
but we have been unsuccessful in
that area, Barnard said.
Wayne Sadbury, director of
CE I A, said there is a labor project
submitted to the TDCA for the
weatherization program. ” The
project has not been approved yet,
and until it is, we can t supply any
labor," he said.
"Our main problem is labor,” said
Barnard. “We can’t get any. We
have plenty of supplies and money,
but if there are no workers we will
have to shut down

The cure for
college blahs.
It's a feeling that slowly descends upon
you. The exams, the pop tests, the required
reading, the hours at the library, the thesis—
they won’t go away.
But you can. This weekend, take off,
say hello to your friends, see the sights,
have a great time. You’ll arrive with money in
your pocket because your Greyhound trip
doesn’t take that much out of it.
If you’re feeling tired, depressed and
exhausted, grab a Greyhound and split. It’s
a sure cure for the blahs.
