Davie Is Gives
Okay To Add
To School
The State Department at
Education has formally ap
proved the construction of a
15,000 - square- foot addition
to the Davie County High
School.
The estimated cost is $200,-
000 to $225,000. It will be
financed by state bond mo
ney.
James E Everidge, Davie
County superintendent of
schools, said the addition will
include a five-classroom unit
connecting the gymnasium
with the office wing, four ad
ditional classrooms built onto
the science wing and two
added to the vocational area.
"No definite plans have yet
been made as to the exact
use of these two shops," Ev
eridge said. "However, our
thinking at the present time
ts that one of the new shops
will be designated to accom
modate a course in auto me
chanics and the other will
probably house the musk fac
ilities including the band,
allowing us to release the
agriculture shop (now being
used by the band) for the
use intended-"
The architects are at work
on the drawings. Plans call
» tor the additions to be put
1 into use at the beginning of
. the 1967-68 school year.

Angus Sales Up
18% In Past
Six Months
The demand for registered
Angus beef cattle has been
booming in recent months, ac
cording to a recent announce
ment from Glen Bratcher, sec
retary of the American Angus
Association at St. Joseph, Mo.
In the first six months of
the national organzation's 1986
fiscal year transfers of own
ership were up 18.5 per cent
over the same period of '65.
For the first haV of the
1966 year cattlemen transfer,
red the ownership of 184,369
head of purebred Angus, an
increase of 28,858 over the
155,511 head sold in the same
months of the 1965 fiscal year.
Prices paid for registered
Angus in recent months are
higher, too, Bratcher said In
the past 8 months 40,365
head were sold in 490 auction
sales for an average price from
October through March, 1965
was s4ll. This is an increase
in gross income of $3,281,540
for cattlemen selling Angus
in those auction sales.
The average for 13,440 bulls
sold in the past 6 months was
$570. This compares with an
average of $478 paid last year
for 14,786 bulls. The aver
age price paid for
cows and heifers was $421,
up from an average of $369
paid for the first 6 months
of 1965.
These increased prices are
reflected in registration to
tals, Bratcher declared. In
March, 1966 Angus registra
tions were up 8 percent over
March of 1965, the first mon
thly increase since last fall.
"For the first 6 months of
the current fiscal year reg
istrations are only 3,175 head
behind the total for the same
period of 1965," Bratcher con
cluded, "and recent demand
for quality breeding stock
points to an expected record
number of calf registrations
in the next 6 months."
