Anyone wishing to start train
ing on that date should file his
name at once with him or one of
the assistant teachers, Mr. Brown
said.
Since the inception of this pro
gram the regulations have progres
sively become more business like,
the instructor said. He further
pointed out that now a trainee
must devote his entire time to be
coming established . in farming,
while in the past some veterans
have made promises to that effect
and have failed to carry them out.
The new classes, Mr. Brown
stated, will operate under Public

stricter requirements than those
previously enforced. He listed the
following regulations:
1. A veteran must have complete

j and quality that the trainee could
j make a living on it under normal
conditions at the completion of his
j training.

actice improved methods in farm
ing.
5. He must attend classes of or
ganized instruction for 200 hours
per year and receive 100 hours of
guidance and instruction at the
farm which he is operating. Two
unexcused absences from class in
any month will automatically drop
a veteran from the program.
6. When a trainee Is renting a
farm, or farming on his father's
place, he must enter into a written
agreement setting out how expen?
ses will be shared and crop divi
sion is to be made.

Western Carolina Opens Its
Toy And Game Library For
Children Of The Community
By Al Booze
Cullowhee?The toy and game
lending library at McKee training
school will open for the year Thurs
day. And, if past experience may
be taken as a guide, the kids will
check out nearly all of the approxi
mately 150 items on the shelves
within a short time after the open
ing.
The library, sponsored by the
Western Carolina Teachers college
branch of the Association for Child
hood Education, opens each fall
and remains in operation during the
school year. Its purposes are to pro
vide school children of the com
ministration.
The library room has been dec
orated, in a colorful manner de
signed to appeal to children, by the
W. C. T. C. art class, under the
supervision of Miss Charlotte Wat
son, art instructor.
Members of the A. C. E. name a
committee each week to act as
"librarians."
Sixty-one carloads of North
Carolina-grown snap beans are
providing enrichment for school
lunches and the menues for State
Institutions in a dozen states.
munity with the means to better
utilize their leisure, to add to fami
ly solidarity by furnishing games
for the children to take home ?
games in which the whole family
can participate?, and to furnish
games and toys to children who
otherwise would have access to
very few of them.
The kids check out the playthings
for a week at a time. "Fireside"
games, such as dominoes, authors,
monopoly, rook, and Chinese
checkers, are general favorites. The
girls go for dolls, paper dolls, and
tea sets.
Tool sets, according to Miss Leo
nora Smith, sponsor of A. C. E. and
director of the library, are in uni
versal demand. Both girls and boys
clamor for them. #
Although the library system is
used, there are no fines for keeping
toys overtime. The children, says |
Miss Smith, feel a decided sense of j
responsibility for toys they break
or lose. A number of parents in the
community have expressed their
appreciation of the project.
Money for the library is obtained
by the A. C. E. girls, who sell sand
w'ches to raise it. Some donations
are received. And some of the toys,
such as stuffed animals and game
boards, are made by Miss Alice
Benton's class in playground ad
