TEACHEY IS APPOINTED DIRECTOR OF RURAL WAR PRODUCTION TRAINING _ A. Li. Teachey, District Supervisor of Agricultural Education, ha3 been appointed Director of the Rural War Production Training Program in North Carolina. Mr. Teachey will be assisted by R. B. Winchester | and A .G. Bullard. Congress re ! cently passed an act appropriating fifteen million dollars for this pro gram. This war production program will take the place of OSY Program number four and will be known as OSYA Program number three. It will be an expansion of program number four with special emphasis upon commodity production to meet the war goals in food and feed and with greater emphasis upon the repair and care of farm e quipment. Five courses in the OSY Program i have been held under the direction of the Scotland Neck Agriculture Department during the past two years according to E. K. Veach. By holding these courses, approxi mately $2500 has come into the community through shop equip ment, materials, and instructor’s salaries. This amount does not take into consideration training received by young men enabling them to go into better jobs and to be of more service in defense work. With a shortage of farm equipment, I considerable value has been receiv ed by farmers in learning and re pairing this equipment. if! _ me new program is a responsi bility placed upon the shoulders of the Agricultural Education Service of the State by the U. S. Office of Education. Every person connect ed with the service is under obli gation to give the best he has in making it a success. This program is not only a challenge to the Agri cultural Education Service but to every farmer and others along this line. Each one of us should 3ee that the battle front does not fail because of our failure on the home front. The better we do our job of seeing to it that the food and feed, and the skilled workmen are adequately provided, the sooner will the war be over and the small er the number of men who will have to be sacrificed. This is no one man job. It is the responsibility of every individual in the Vocational Agriculture Pro gram and each farmer. Everything we can do to increase our war ef fort will be too little as compared with what the men do who make ; the supreme sacrifice. We should ask ourselves “what can I produce that will be most beneficial to the war effort?” At this time, it seems that selfishness should be eliminat , ed and we should get down to the job of producing to win the war Announcements will be made by I the Scotland Neck Agriculture De , partment regarding this program as i soon as the details are known. : ' VKDJStSKATHti iSIKTHDA ¥ I. - | Little Miss Shirley Ann Baggett i was honored on her eighth birth i- day, Monday afternoon, August 17, ti at her home on Roanoke Avenue, I, with a surprise birthday party given by her mother.
