A different NRA

Sun., August 6, 1933 - Got up just in time to go to church with Mom.  Slept most of the afternoon.  Howard came before I was ready this evening so I had to hurry.  I drove to Wayne.
Mon., August 7, 1933 - Uncle Chris doesn't go to work now until 10:00 because of the N.R.A.  I bought some school material from a Harter representative at school.  We had to wait until about 12:30 at the Campus Inn this noon before there was room for us.  I got a letter from Mote asking me to spend this next weekend with her.  Gerald and I worked jig-saw puzzles tonite.
Tues., August 8, 1933 - My walk to school this a.m. rather tired me.  I worked in the library until 5:00 this afternoon.  Wrote to Mom, Howard, and Mildred W. this morning.  I finished my jig-saw puzzle soon after supper.  Went to bed at 9:00.

Being rather confident that the National Rifle Association had nothing to do with when Uncle Chris went to work, I looked up other NRAs and found (via wikipedia) the National Recovery Administration, to wit:

     The National Recovery Administration was a prime New Deal agency established by U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in 1933. The goal was to eliminate "cut-throat competition" by bringing industry, labor, and government together to create codes of "fair practices" and set prices. The NRA was created by the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and allowed industries to get together and write "codes of fair competition." The codes were intended to reduce "destructive competition" and to help workers by setting minimum wages and maximum weekly hours, as well as minimum prices at which products could be sold. The NRA also had a two-year renewal charter and was set to expire in June 1935 if not renewed.

     In 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously declared that the NRA law was unconstitutional, ruling that it infringed the separation of powers under the United States Constitution. The NRA quickly stopped operations, but many of its labor provisions reappeared in the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act), passed later the same year. The long-term result was a surge in the growth and power of unions, which became a core of the New Deal Coalition that dominated national politics for the next three decades.

     The NRA, symbolized by the Blue Eagle, was popular with workers. Businesses that supported the NRA put the symbol in their shop windows and on their packages, though they did not always go along with the regulations entailed. Though membership to the NRA was voluntary, businesses that did not display the eagle were very often boycotted, making it seem mandatory for survival to many.

The things you learn snooping in your grandmother's diary.  Also, I would love to lay hands on any letters Grandma wrote to Grandpa during this period.
