Vets' Farm Training
Program Explained
Requirements for veteran's farm

other types of on the job training

The program, Whitten said, Is
for World War II who have been
discharged, not dishonorably, after
90 or more days of active service
in any branch of the U. S. armed
fbrces since Sept. 15, 1940.
To apply for training and other
GI Bill of Rights benefits, the vet

is obtainable at the local service
office, and mail it to the regional
Veteran's Administration office in
Winston-Salem. If the VA finds the
applicant eligible for training, he
will be mailed a certificate of eli
gibility which will entitle him to
enter upon a training program
under Public Law 346.
The subsistence allowance for
singl emen is $65 monthly, and for
married men and others with par
ental dependents it is S9O monthly,
Whitten explained. The time limit
is one year, except where a longer
period is necessary to complete the
course satisfactorily.
There are two types of training.
The first is the employer-trainer
program, in whtich the veteran re
ceives instruction from the employ
er. He must also receive instruction
from a vocational agriculture tea
cher. the minimum being 200 hours
tion during the year; and he must
visit the veteran for a minimum of
48 hour sduring the year, not less
than one visit occuring each month.
The second type of training is
self-proprietorship. In this case
the veteran must operate a farm
as owner, tenant or manager. The
vo-ag teacher must visit him for
96 hours during the year, or not
less than one two hour visit per
month. The veteran must also re
ceive 150 hours of classroom instruc
tion during the year; and he must
keep strict business records of farm
operations.
There are ‘ two qualified white
vo-ag instructors in Person County:
James Wilburn of Bethel Hill and
L. C. Liles of Timberlake. For Neg
roes, A. W. Jones of Person County
Training School is qualified to give
instruction.

Form 1950 and also another form
which is available at the regional

Ihave heard a story that could not be true yet it was told to me for
the truth and I am passing it along to my reader, or readers, both of
them, for what it is worth.
Clyde Bowen has a car and for this car he has a garage that is
located around the rear of his home In Reams Town. He suddenly
decided that this garage needed painting and 1 so he hired a man to do
the work—But, he told the painter to only paint the part of the garage
that showed from the main street that went by his home. There was
no need to paint anything that did not show. And that is what was done. .
I would like to hire Clyde to be the efficiency expert in my office.

'Are They Real!'
Little Boy Asked
About Easter Eggs
“Are they REAL eggs?’’ the little
boy wanted to know as he came into
the Person County Public Library
and his eye caught sight of the
chickens, the green grass, and the
colored eggs arranged so realistically
on a table in one of the reading
rooms.
He was looking at the handiwork
of Mrs. Margaret L. Howard of the
library staff, who was assisted in
the decorating of the building by
Mrs. Mary B. Buchanan.
The little boy liked not only the
chickens and eggs, but also the large
Easter rabbitt poster in one of the
windows, the colored posters depict
ing Passion Wee* scenes from the
life of,Christ, the lighted cross in
one corner, and the flower arrange
ments throughout the building.
Miss Dorothy Wightman, tri
county librarian, answered the lad’s
question by inviting him to come
j closer and examine the eggs for
himself. He did so, and was so de
lighted with the realistic decorations
that he spent some time looking at
them.
Mrs. koward and other members
of the staff invite the public to drop
in and see how the rooms have been
dressed up for I2aster. They think
you will like what you see.
The colored panel posters depict
Palm Sunday, the crucifixion, the
l sealed tomb, and other scenes. Flow
j er decorations consist of EXster lilies,
! tulips, dogwood blossoms, and oth
i ers.
i An impressive section of the libra
j ry is the memorial shelf, containing
1 books given in honor of deceased
persons. Memorial decorations have
recently been rearranged by Mrs.
Howard.

No Blue Mold Yet;
Spraying Is Urged
Witli blue mold reported as close
by as Wake County, and with weath
er conditions here ideal for the de
velopment of this plantbed disease,
farmers today were again urged by
County Agent'H. k. Sanders to spray
their tobacco beds with fermate.
No blue meld has yet been report
ed in Person, Mr. Sanders said, but
with damp, chilly weather on hand,
the disease may start here at any
time.
During tne past week the County
Agent has visited nine men in vari
ous parts ol the county helping them
1 to set up sprayers to be used in ap
plying fermate. Some of the men
have bought wheel-barrow' sprayers,
one has a regular orchard sprayer,
one is using a small 2 -gallon knap
sack sprayer, and the other men are
using horse-drawn sprayers which
they use during the summer months
for applying material for the control
of hornworms.
These sprayers are disconnected
from the wheels and power is sup
plied by a hand lever. By providing
about 15 feet of hose. 3 or 4 pieces
of short lengths of small pipe, and :
using two nozzles, the fanners are 1
able to rig up this sprayer so that it i
does an excellent job of applying
fermate spray to tobacco plants. The
sprayers have all Ijeen checked and
tested and some of the farmers are
already spraying their tobacco plants
twice each week.

Case Food-Saving Measures Suggested
I Proprietors of public eating places,

otherwise doomed to death, Claude

said today in announcing a series of j
specific actions which restaurants,

“If we as a peiple are to be of tha
greatest help to the world in this
life-or-death crisis,” leaders of the
program said, “each of us must
make the saving of food his or her
personal responsibility. The food will
not create itself. Our farmers pro

NUMBER 38
R. B. Griffin, superintendent of
schools, today made public for the
first time the detailed views of the
County Board of Education and of
himself in regard to construction
of and improvement in school
buildings in Person County.
| Listing nine proposed building
projects, estimated cost of which
lin Mr. Griffin’s opinion is roughly
| $600,000. the superintendent stress
ed the fact that the low interest
rate now obtainable on bonds would
largely offset the increased build
jing costs of the present period.
I Authority of the County Commis
; sioners to issue bonds is limited by
constitutional amendment to two
thirds of the net debt reduction of
the previous year. In Person, the
average annual reduction is about
$30,000; therefore the average an
nual amount of bonds which may
be issued is roughly s2o.ooo—far less
than W’ould be required, the Board
of Education believes, for even min
imum building needs at the present
time.
Issuance of bonds in excess of
the two-thirds limit can be done
only after such step has been ap
proved by the voters of the county
in a special bond election.
The minimum building needs, as
set forth by the Board of Educa
tion in its October meeting, are.
1. Grammar school for Roxboro.
to include about 12 classrooms,
auditorium, library and lunchroom.
2. Renovation of Roxboro Central
School, with the removal of suf
ficient pupils to provide adequate
lunchroom space witnin this build
ing.
3. High school building at Bethel
Hill.
4. Building tor Negroes, probably
a high school in Roxboro.
5. Two classrooms, lunchroom, and
library at Mt. Tirzah.
6. Two classrooms, lunchroom and
library at Hurdle Mills.
7. Agriculture budding, lunchroom
and library at AUensville.
8. Lunchrooms for all large schoola
that do not now have.them.
9. Gymnasium at Roxboro High
School.
The Board of Education, Mr. Grif
fin said, believes that the above
building program represents the
minimum which should be accom
plished as soon as it is possible to
do so.
Construction cents are now about
50 per cent higher than usual; how
ever, bonds can now be financed
more cheaply than ever before in
the history of the county, the Su
perintendent pointed out. Previous
bond issues have been made at an
interest rate of 4' 2 to 6 per cent.
Today, the interest rate is 2 per
cent or less.
At 5 percent, it would take $30,-
000 annually to finance $600,000
worth of bonds. At 2 per cent, it
would take only $12,000 annually to
finance the same amount of bonds.
The saving in interest, therefore,
would be SIB,OOO per year at that
present rate.
Taking intq consideration these
facts, Mr. Griffin pointed out, It
can readily be seen that overall
construction costs at the present
time would not be as much higher
than the 1940 level as at first seems
evident.
It is the hope of the County
Board, Supt. Griffin said, that tha
public will become thoroughly fa
miliar with the facts, think them
over ,and suggest changes, if any,
which should be made. The program
cannot be carried out unless all
citizens become familiar with it an 4
give their support.
Board of Education members be
lieve the building program they havp
outlined is as fair as possible tR
all sections of the county, and rep
resents the minimum amount of
money which must be put into
school buildings during, the next
few years. ,:
