Community Colored Nursery School o The children stood in rapt at tention while watching the earth •star mushroom (the “water-mea suring mushroom), a round, dried up looking ball, unfold into a big grey-streaked star with a puff ball In the centre, when placed in a very little water. This mush room then resembled a large “skeerv” gray spider. Their sur prise was great when they were told that toad stools, the “earth star," and the beautifully colored growths on dead stumps, which made the lovely flower they saw ana held, belonged to the same “family.” The “mushroom family,” just as the asters and the golden rods in their yard, belonged to the Wild Flower Family. Mrs. Arcie Brown holds them in loving control. She has only to speak quietly for them to obey. The school is their delight.

Appeal Made To Hire Disabled 0 The U. S. Employment Service is following the program set up by Congress and the President by setting aside the week of October 6-12 as “National Employ the Phy sically Handicapped Week,” it was announced today by P. Lane Gast on, manager of the Asheville of fice which serves the county. “Any employer of handicapped are requested to file their needs at the Asheville office,” Mr. Gast on said. “However, those in the Black Mountain area may see our representative at the city hall between the hours of 8:30 a. m. and 12:30 p. m. With “Hire the Handicapped” as the battle cry, the program will get under way Monday on a na tional scale and continue through the entire week. During this time a special effort will be made to contact prospective employers as well as those desiring employ ment. Following is the bulletin issued by the U. S. Department of Labor, Retraining and Reemployment Administration: The United States has long been known as the most humanitarian nation on earth. We have shown our concern for the welfare of all peoples, on innumerable occasions during the lifetime of most of those now listening to my voice. We have fed starving China, Ger many, France. Italy, Russia, Eng land, and other countries, from time to time. We rushed medicine, food, clothing, and ship-loads of assistance to Japan, following a great earthquake. Americans have stood ready, at all times, to re lieve human suffering, misery, and want, wherever it might be found. But, here at home, sometimes, we have demonstrated that we are guilty of a sort of astigma tism, for we have not given the attention their needs require to our own afflicted—the 28,000,000 physical handicapped of this Na tion. Many of these are disabled as a result of military service in de fense of our country. Millions of others were either born with some defect or, through injury or dis-1 ease became physically handicap- j ped later in life. But, despite being blind, deaf.' hard of hearing, or being victims of polio, cardiac troubles, ampu tations, tuberculosis, arthritis, spastic paralysis, and numerous other disabling diseases, defects, or injuries, millions of these hand icapped are perfectly capable of performing varied kinds of em ployment successfully. During World War 11, the phy physieal handicapped of this na derful record as workers in the war production plants, where ap proximately 1,500,000 of them helped build ships, planes, tanks, guns, bombs, and all of the other implements by which we over whelmed our enemies. Employers found the handicap ped excellent workers. Their re cords on absenteeism were better “An evening at home? Not on your life!

BUCK MOUNTAIN y than the non-handicapped. Their accident record was also better than that of non-disabled, because, already being disabled, they were careful and did not take unneces sary chances. Their production re cord compared favorably with that of non-handicapped, and even ex ceeded the latter, in several in stances. So, the handicapped, un der stress, proved they were worthy of responsibility, and they helped write a brillant page in the history of our war production. Today, in your city, and all across country, we are observing “NATIONAL EMPLOY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED WEEK,” which has been design ated by Congress, and the Presi dent of the United States, as the first week in October, of each year. Today, the great agencies of the Federal Government have all com bined, with the cooperation of in dustry. labor, veterans, farm, wo men. educational, religious, scien tific and professional and other organizations, with the objective of placing in gainful employment as many of the millions of physi callv handicapped as it may be nossible, or feasible, to find jobs for. To the public, we urge thatyou give careful consideration to the needs of the physically handicap ned in your localities, and assist them, in all ways possible, to achieve a self-sustaining status, through regular employment.

Call a reputable electrician. It will pay. 4. UNCLEAN AND UNSEG REGATED FURNACE AND FUEL ROOM AREAS. These often reflect the charac ter of the janitor; clean if he is good, the opposite if otherwise. The furnace and fuel room areas are too often storage places for all worthless things from in and around the school building. These are practically all highly inflam mable and subject to dangerous fires hidden until the building is involved. See that these places are kept clean and that nothing other than what is absolutely nec essary for the proper operation of the furnace is kept in such V areas. 5. DEFECTIVE OR WORN PIPES and other parts of the heating system or pipes which are subject to heat too close to wood work. In many instances when the pipe or other part of the heating system commences drawing rosin from a near-by plank, a piece of tin or asbestos is tacked on. This forms a pocket for highly inflam mable dust particles, increasing instead of decreasing the danger. When a pipe or any other part of the furnace draws rosin from the wood, MOVE THE WOOD OR THE PIPE or any other part too close. Frequent visits to the fur nace and fuel room areas by the principal or superintendent and subsequent orders will eliminate most of these dangers. 6. CONDITIONS IN DRESS ING ROOMS, on the stage and in the auditorium and corridors fol lowing a school play or exercise. THE SAME IN GYMNASIUM following a game or dance. It is important that some one in authority go over the building following the exercise, play, game or dance and all improvished scenic effects and decorations be re moved and taken out of the build ing before leaving the building. This may require additional jani tor service, but it is worth it. 7.
