McIntosh, director of the Nation-^ al Youth Administration tor North ^ Carolina, whereby one of the four, schools for the training of teachers] for community schools will be held at the college beginning Monday, August 26 and continuing through Saturday, September 21. Mr. McIntosh has indicated to President E. J. Coltrane that ap proximately 110 teachers will attend this school. In order to bring '■his special school to Brevard College arrangements were made to close the summer school Saturday, August 24. It was necessary also to change the opening date for the fall quarter of the regular college year from Sep tember 16 to September 23rd. The National Youth Administra tion is being directed by Aubrey Williams from the Washington of fice. It is a part of the movement launched by President Roosevelt and is in direct line with the efforts made by the National Administration to, provide various types of relief pro jects. The teachers being brought to Brevard College will be trained in the organization and conduct of community schools for adults. These community schools have been in op eration for the past several months. They will now assume somewhat different direction. The first move in the new organisation will be the training of teachers. A similar school j •for white teachers will be held in j Eastern North Carolina at a point, in Craven County. There will be, ; wo schools for negro teachers in dif ferent parts of the state. College officials are elated at the | prospect of having this school in | Brevard College. Mr. McIntosh made , a visit to Brevard College in April and was quite pleased with the spirit and plan of the institution.

Listing With County Agent Pays Farmers Farmers of the county who have large crops of cabbage, beans or other like produce to sell, would do well to list same with the county | agent’s office. This fact was clearly demonstrated Monday when a truck driver came through the county Monday morning, t spent over two hours in the county ! looking for a load of cabbage, and j failing to fint! what he wanted drove I into Henderson county, and again j failed to make contact. From Georgia, the trucker came through Brevard after going into Henderson county, and decided to make one more trial. He asked someone he chanced to meet on the streets just who would be apt to know where a load of cabbage could be found, and was referred to the county agent’s office. In a short while the man had a whole truck load of cabbage, had contracted for another load for Thursday and was on his way to Cracker State after leaving a neat sum of money with the cabbage grower. One of the functions of the county ■ agent’s office is marketing, and far mers will do well to remember this. | Merrill Reunion To Be Held at Fletcher J I The annual Merrill family reunion! will be held at the Fletcher high school next Sunday, Aug.

Ethiopia Is Favored By Brevard Residents A checkup of sentiment pro rind con in the Ethiopia-Italy situation) here this week reveals the fact that | 17 out of 22 persons contacted are! sympathetic toward the Ethiopian. cause. Two of the number casually con tacted in a manner that led them out without revealing that a consen sus of opinion was being sought, were for Italy for the simple reason that “nigger” did not appeal to them in any sense of the word, and the ether three were undecided in their views as to who was the real ag gressor in the original flare-up and clash between troops of the two countries in December of last year, and around which the present near struggle is pending.
