By BYRON CRAWFORD The Courier-Journal IVYTON, Ky. Its forsaken flagpole is still standing and its arched sandstone doorway is still intact, but the long-deserted Ivy-ton Elementary School, built by forgotten Magoffin County WPA workers in 1938, is losing its existence to neglect.

Its 50th birthday passed six years ago, unnoticed. Ivyton, about five miles southeast of Salyersville, was among nearly 1,200 schools in Kentucky built or renovated by the Works Program Administration Presi-dent Franklin Roosevelts program to put people back to work in the Great Depression. Although critics of the agency joked that the letters WPA stood for We Piddle Around or We Poke Along, the WPA gave jobs to more than 30 percent of Kentuckys unemployed and provided many public improvements in the lean years from 1935 to the early 1940s. Besides schools, the WPA built 14.000 miles of roads in the state, laid 502 miles of storm and sanitary sewers and built several airports, 33 parks, 56 libraries, 167 playgrounds or athletic fields, 27 swimming pools and more than 65.000 outhouses. Over time, hundreds of WPA structures have gone the way of Ivyton School, but many are still in use today.

There are lots of WPA buildings in Johnson County, said county librarian Patricia Patton. And I can think of two WPA bridges here that I have crossed all my life. To the best of my knowledge theres never been anything wrong with them. I believe the dty hall is of that time period, and the old county jail, the old library and two gymnasiums here were built by WPA. Theyre all sandstone, still standing, virtually unchanged.

I think that not only should we try to preserve them, but we should try like in the case of old school buildings to find other uses for them, he said.

Obviously, we cant save every one of them, but it would be nice to save some of them for other things, because for the most part theyre good, sturdy, well-built tures as an important part of Kentuckys history. I have kind of a warm spot in my heart for than, he said. I thihk for a lot of the men and generally it was men whp worked on these buildings this was a way for them to have a job and to have some kind of dignity without having to take a welfare check. The idea was to put as many people to work as possible, so these were labor-intensive projects. I think my absolute favorite one is the courthouse in Webster County one of those poured concrete kind of Art Deco things.

I really like it. It was the first building I placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many WPA structures in Kentucky were made with native sandstone or limestone, quarried near the building sites. Architectural styles varied, but most of the buildings bad a simple elegance that incorporated what Brent Gordon W.

(AP) -Most of the recommendations of a state task force looking for ways to ensure equal justice for women and men remain undone more than 22 years later. Many of the 68 recommendations issued by the task force in January 1992 require action by the General Assembly. But some could be accomplished by judges and lawyers themkelves. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Stephens, who created the task force, says he will ask the high court to amend the code governing judges to prohibit sexually biased conduct, one of the task forces recommendations. The panels first chairwoman, Rebecca Westerfield, is disappointed that the rule, which she described as a bare minimum, is not in place already.

A new code of conduct wont cure sexism in thecourts but its a start, she said. If the rule is approved, Kentuckians would have a more spe- cific basis for filing complaints against judges who they think have treated them unfairly based not just on sex but oh raqp, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status. Kentucky would join 21 other states that have imposed such a provision on their judges, according to the American Judicature Society in Chicago, which studies issues involving judges. More controversial are proposed changes in the code of conduct for lawyers, said Westerfield, a former Jefferson Madisonville Lions Club As fall approaches and school is back in session, activity has begun to pick up at the Wednesday noon meetings of the Madisonville Lions Club.
