minutes’ time.
Early that morning he was down

first, came, and Mr. Leonard rushed |

wife lived, grabbed her, and the two |

Bushy Fork Club
Very Active In
Community Work
By Mrs. Slade Crumpton
The Bushy Fork home demonstra
tion club has aided in many projects.
In November, 1938, plans were be
gun to raise funds for a community
house at Bushy Fork. In January,
1939. a meeting was held in Bushy
Fork school house to lay plans for
the community house. The discussion
was by the youth training leader
from Oxford. Plans were made to
use the boys of the community in
building the home. As the project
grew the home demonstration club
assumed their share of the expenses
until the building was completed,
and then they set about to furnish
same. The floors were treated with
boiled linseed oil. The club helped
pay for a stove to be used in the
lunch room; linoleum for the kitch
en floor; and then shades, drapes,
and curtains. Two large pictures over
both mantels were given, one by the
club and one by a member of the
club. A piano was bought. Also the
club helped in buying the Roll of
Honor for service men and wdrnen
jof Bushy Fork Community. The
! club is also giving a certificate for
the best all*-round student finishing
grammar school.

J. D. Deßamus, manager of the
Veteran’s Administration regional
office in Winston-Salem, said in
connection with veterans opportuni
ty week. N
“Veterans don’t want charity,’’
Deßamus said, “They want a chance
to learn a new skill, a new job, so
that they may become useful, pro
ductive citizens. On-the-job train
ing will help them develop skills to
compensate for the loss of other
faculties.’’
Deßamus’ appeal was made to
North Carolina employers to estab
lish on-the-job training programs
in their factories, shops and stores.
He said 1,000 disabled Tar Heels
are waiting- at the moment for an
opportunity for such training.
Disabled veterans, Deßamus ex
plained, are entitled to on-the-job
training under the provisions of
Public Law 16. This law. he said,
provides that any World War II
veteran who suffered injury or ill
ness as a result of his service in the
