TBHC65 years ago…
September 27, 1941 – Mayor Robert E. L. Chancey of Tampa asks the board of alderman to join him in a strong appeal to the Works Progress Administration for more jobs for needy women. Alderman Frank Cannella said that he would go to Washington to put the situation directly to officials, asking that the WPA sewing room on Twentieth Street and all its employees be taken over by the government to make uniforms or other cloth articles for federal defense.
