lay County Men Teachr Attend aywood Tech Sawmill School By Guy Padgett ?' Staff Writer Who ever heard of anyone W to Khool to learn to be a M|ng hick"? Sounds about ridiculous as to attend ege to learn how to make wmill gravy". Well, the officials at wood Technical Institute jn't seem to think it culous at all. They can see handwriting on the wall says young men are not ming special skills in bering from their fathers played their trad# jughout a normal life led as sawyers, saw-filers, ber graders and dry kiln fetors becoming so xe that the industry saw were going to have to do lething about it. Haywood Tech at Clyde te up with the answer. With assitance of federal monies, tations of equipment from lumbering equipment pufacturers and cooperation the industry itself, they are inning classes in the above itioned crafts, that should epare student for ployment within about 50 Iks. John W. Crites, head of od Products Department, nts out that these men will be professionals at the end this course, for there are ny lessons tc4te learned by lerience. But he emphasizes fact that with very short preticeships, these men >uld be better prepared for jse jobs than their itemporaries with a life-time perience, but without lefit of technical training. A Clay Coounty man, A.J. ?er of Route 4, Hayesville, is the Haywood Tech teaching ff as a lumber grading tructor. His brother, the ?r. W.A. "Andy" Cloer, is p an instructor. Their father, | late Thad Cloer, was once jerintendent for Gennett mber Company in yesville. A.J. Cloer Other instructors in the lumbering industry crafts are A1 Neilson, George, Wright and W.W.Roland. Five Clay County men are enrolled as students: Jack Brooks, WAllace Ledford, Mike Morgan, Ed Lands and Alex Stilwell. Their next classes in this new program for training sawyers, saw Tilers, lumber grader, dry kiln operators will begin in January of 1970. Th ey have two fully automatic sawmills, one band mill and one circle saw mill. Of necessity, they must produce lumber and lumber products, but Crites emphasizes that the whole purpose of this operation is for teaching those fundamental lumberman's crafts. In a statement issued by the school, "A student can attend at no cost to him or his employer, no matter what state he lives, and is eligible for financial assitance through the Manpower Development Training ACt. This is handled through the Employment Security Commission and will run between $29 and $100 per week. An employer wishing to further assist a studnet while attending classes may do so." This course is unique in that it has probably the only mill in the country that is operated for the sole purpose of teaching. Crites says he is enthused about the interest that people of Clay County have shown toward their school. Students can apply for these and other courses through the Wood Products Department, Haywood Technical Institute, P.O. Box 457, Clyde, North Carolina 28721. Townson Funeral Homes DAVID F.
