I# The TEXAS WRITERS' PROJECT In the fall of 1933 the Civil Works Administration was launched with the objective of giving one million work by Christmas. The State of Connecticut as a part of this national program started an experiment in preparing a Guide to Conneoti- out towns and cities. The book was an immense suooess, artis- tically and financially, being one of the few CWA projects that not only paid for itself but also actually made money for the sponsors. Two years later as a result of the Connecticut experi- ment there was established by Presidential order a Federal Wri- ters Project in the Professional and Service Division of the Works Progress Administration under the national directorship of Henry G. Alsberg. Field offices were setup in each of the States and Territories. Administrative and supervisory personnel in- oluded such nationally known writers as Lyle Saxon of Louisiana, Vardis Fisher of Idaho. Texas State Headquarters were establishe ed in San Antonio under the direction of J. Frank Davis, well known Texas author and playwright. In January 1936, a Distriot Field Office for North Central Texas was established in Fort Worth under the supervision of Frank Hunt Bardon. In September 1939, the Federal riters' Project, was abolished and the Fort Worth off oe beoame a unit of the Texas Writers' Project, sponsored by the Bureau of Research in the Social Sciences of the University of Texas. A year later, September 1940, the Board of Trustees of the Fort Worth Public Library becanm a contributing sponsor and the Library Unit of the Project was established with Eugene L. Sohilder as Writer- Research Editor. The Fort Worth Project has been under the following supervision: Frank Hunt Bardon: 1936-1938 Ben Boswell: 1936 Eugene L.Schi lde r (Acting Supervisor) 1938 -39; 1940 Zeke Handler : 1939-41 THE TEXAS WRITERS' PROJECT July 1, 1941 VOWUM SIX INDEX A Albums Abbottv Ewa 2020 Abilene , Texas : 2170. 2297 Acme Laundry : 2339' Adams,$ Bunk: 2070 Adams, Friank: 2070 Adams, Harry: 2233 Adams , Johni Quincy: 2160 Adams, W.
