"I feel sure *iiat practically every farmer in the county will ste practices be ing carried out on these farms that would be profitable to them if nut in effect on their own farms.” Mr. Tugman 5-aid. "These farms do not represent a county wide tour. It is felt that the demonstrations to b seen on them represent what ex tension and other agricultural agencies are trying to adopt on all farms. Furthermore, it is practically an impossibility for a group of farmers to visit a farm in every section of the county in one day*” Tugman said. "I hope the farmers of the county will make an effort to make the tour with us. A visit to the farms included' in the tour will be well worth your time.

State Will Spend $84,764,093 For Operations Of Schools Raleigh The State will spend a total of $84,764,093 next year for operation of the public schools under a budget approv- ! ed by the State Board of Educa tion. Next year’s spending compares i with the total of $80,469,787 that J the State put into the schools this year. A. S. Brower, of Durham, chair- i man of the board's finance com mittee, told the board that the budget calls for no changes in teacher salary schedules and no' change in the average pupil load per teacher, which is now 32.

The budget calls for spending $72,831,700 for salaries of teach ers and principals as compared with $69,285,302 spent this year. Brower said this yould take care of an increase of approximately 1,055 in the number oif teachers. There was a total of 26.942 teach ers this year and a total of 27, 986 is expected next year.

She will return te duty Saturday. Large Audience Pleased With Cherokee Indian Drama The thousands who journyed from all parts of North Carolina as well as from distance states to see Kermit Hunter’s Cherokee Indian drama, “Unto These Hills” for the opening performance on Saturday night witnessed a su perb interpretation of history which is destined to continue to attract many to this Mountain side theatre. The cool rain which interrupt ed the performance for about 20 minutes did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. The drama will continue five nights each week from Wednesday through Sunday until Septem ber 4. The drama is the story of the cycle in Cherokee history that led1 the Indian from his centuries old status of being at peace with man and the world to a more than 300-year span of tragedy and defeat with the advent of the white man. with the cycle dosing when peace returns to the changed, almost dispirited race. Produced by memb.rs of the Carolina Piaymakers and direct- j ed by Playmaker Harry Davis, ' the :esult is very near technical perfection. The sets, costuming and stage lighting are exception ally good. With fewr exceptions, the cast! is unusally strong, well suited for the many varied roles. More than 100 persons appear on stage, many of them in important roles and all of them important in the' scale. There are moments high in the : performances of such persons as I Bernard Barrow, playing Major ! Davis who directs the Removal | of 1838 in the Cherokee territory along the Oconalufitee River and portraying him as a confused man who seeks to act honorably and is. thwarted by his sense of I martial duty; John Shearin and I Eileen Smith as Tsali and Wilani, I who bring to life the couple whose tragedy served to change the course of Cherokee misfor tunes; Ross Durfee and Lawrence Peerce as the Indian leaders, Junaluaka and Drowning Bear, who stage one of the play’s most Lamb Pool Will Be Held On Sat. Agent Advisies Fanners To Sell Lambs While They Weigh Under 100 Pounds The second lamib pool will be held at the West Jefferson Live stock Market on Saturday, July 8, from 6:30 a. m, until 11:00 a. m., Dana Tuigman, county agent, stated yesterday. ‘There has been considerable misunderstanding on the part of sheep producers in regard to the buyer’s discrimination against lambs weighing over 100 pounds,'* ( Mr. Tugman said. “'On the last pool we had to take a ten cent per pound deduction for each p:und over 100. This was inter preted by some sheep producers as meaning a ten cent pound de duction on the total weight, how ever. that was not the case. For instance a lamb weighing 110 pounds would be considered ten pound# overweight and, there fore. at the rate of ten cents pel pound deduction for overweight, a $1.00 deduction would be made touching scenes during the final' scene, their surprise reunion after their many years of work to free their people. The theme has been defined by the author as being one of bro therhood. to show'fiiat men of all colors and races can live to gether in peace. It speaks out against man’s avarice that robs others of per sonal liberty. It reproves cause? that allow the incompetent to stand in judgment and to gain at the cost of those in their charge. It is solemn praise of' man’s dignity, humility and in tegrity that allow him to sacri fice personal rights in his efforts for peace, although the' actions may seem cowardly, and to fight [ for that right when his trust is abused The play is in many ways a reflection of man’s com plex relationship with man. Goodman Speaks To Lions Club On Friday Night Spoke On Communism And How It Would Affect Rc ligious Activities In U. S. Dell Goodman, West Jefferson high school teacher and Suit day school teacher at West Jef ferson Baptist church, spoke to the West Jefferson Lions club on communism at the meeting held Friday night at the com munity building. Mr. Goodman, who was intro duced by Grant Frazier, program chairman, spoke to the group on. how communism would affect religious activities in the United States and the education of American children on religious affairs. He pointed out the seriousness of communism and illustrated how it wouldn't work in the Uni ted States where a freedom of religion is practiced. Lt. Ralph Sexton of the Unit ed States Air Forces was a guest at the meeting.. President Ralph Campbell stat ed that the next meeting of the club would be held on Jpiy 13. from the total sale price of the lamb. The deduction is absolutely not made on the basis of the to tal weight of the lamb but only on each pound over lf>0 pounds.” He added that apparently the discrimination against heavy lambs is being made by all buy ers in this. area. The market is demanding a smaller lamb now than it has in the past few years with buyers preferring lambs that are carrying a good finish and weighing from 80 to 95 pounds. “Any farmer who wants' to buy native ewe lamibs for replace ments or foundation stoefe will do well to get them on the July 8 pool as there will be very few early lambs marketed later,” the agent said. Weighing and grading will be gin at 6:30 a. m. as the lambs have to be ready to go out on the train on July 8 it was pointed out. West Jefferson. N. C. Saturday, 1 o’clock 2 Shows Night, 7 and 9 Sat.
