Raleigh, Aiik. 1!7. ? More than ,
$1>0, (Mill in r? pair work wah saved,
certain farmers during a period of
eight mouths in l'J2:t-192l hy
their sons, w ho. .after attending'
the vocational - agricultural high!
schools, had returned home and
opened a : yst?nv?tlJEed homo re- v
pair shop in tiie ham. wood-shed, i
or similar nuthouses, it wus stated i
l?y Hoy H. Thomas, Supervisor of '
Agricultural Bducation of the
North Carolina Department of
Public Instruction, while discuss
ing the value of the vocational
agricultural schools in the State.
Mr. Thomas also pointed out
that since. , them' hoys had '
opened the . home repair shops, ?
that there hud heen more system
tin the farm, in general than ever
before and that much time was
saved in hulng able to mako re
pairs ut home without making a
long trip to town, and also in
having a certain place for all
tools and equipment.
The old village or community
blacksmith shop is a thing of the
pant In most farming communities
of the Stale," said the supervisor,
"Thi* passing of this historic in
stitution is due primarily to two
factors.
' 'Piwti nwrior n le-o f -pro- -
(iuctlon and standardization o?
farm equipment has made it
cheaper for the farmer to go to
town and buy the repair parts
; nordod. The community black
smith shop, although convenient,
was costly. Frequently the far
been feared bv Kepablicans l?ut
they are hopeful that strong ut
terances from President Coolldc*
will save them embarrassment,
especially in this section of the
country.
In a nutshell, the men who bet
on elections art* simply venture
some individuals who enjoy the
wpoi'l of fcn in til InjT. "for~ftt tlw lllfi"
uie tit the political situation is so
full of cross currents that any
one who feels sure of the outcome
has usually a wish father to the
i thought. The |?olitical managers
theuuudv(.? knyw in their hearts
the situation in not a certainty f<?r

special shop building. It was
pointed out, but most of them

One of the first Jobs of the
boys after they had- put in equip

up all the tools on the farm, oil
and sharpi-n them and place th*m
in the tool cabinet where they
could be had at any time. Mr.
Thomas quoted one farmer as
saying, when commenting upon
I his boy's work shop. "For th?*
