Pictured above is a group of adult students who
are taking the Farm Arc Welding Course in Mars
Hill. The courses, which started July 18, offer stu
dents an opportunity to learn this skilled profession
which will be beneficial on the farm and will also
enable many of them to secure regular employment
as expert welders.

they are proving most beneficial
in offering the pupils a course
which will lead to future employ
ment if desired, or will greatly
aid them on the farms when ma
chinery breakdowns require weld
ing. Also by learning this profes
sion, it will greatly raise the
chances of securing industry in
the county by having increased
skilled labor in this field.
M. L. Andrews, Agriculture
teacher at Mars Hill High School,
is supervising the courses and is
ably assisted by Roland Silver,
special instructor for advanced
courses in farm arc welding.
A Mars Hill Agricultural Ad
visory Committee has been named

Mrs. J. D. Thomason
Ask Congress to pass money-saving
"Minimum Freight Rates" legislation now!
KewiiK -! .Til,
LOOK around your dining room table. Nearly
everything you see in fact, almost everything on
the family shopping list (meat, chicken, eggs, but
ter, milk, vegetables, and many other items) win
be favorably affected when the "Minimum Freight
Rates" bills now before Congress are passed. Why?
Because many freight rates are now higher than
they need be. They can and will be reduced
when railroads have freedom to lower rates.
Lower freight charges mean lower prices for
you, the consumer. But what happens today when
railroads try to lower their freight charges? On
freight that moves in large volume, our requests
to lower our rates are almost invariably opposed
by barge or truck interests - sometimes both. This
results in long, costly regulatory delay and, too
often, our request is turned down cold. This keeps
all freight charges artificially high and costs you
money.
Excessive regulation - a throwback to the days
i had no competition-is responsible.
then. It is ridiculous now. This is
recognized by the ''Minimum Freight Rates" bills
and it will be corrected when the bills are passed.
Let's get one thing straight The proposed legis
lation will not let railroads raise their prices one
penny on anything without Interstate Commerce
Commission approval. It will permit railroads to
lower prices on agricultural products and bulk
commodities such as salt, sugar, coal, grain, and
many others. Lower freight costs on these impor
tant family budget items will put money in your
pocket
American consumers will save billions of dollars
each year when the "Minimum Freight Rates"
bills, as they are now written, become law. Every
day of delay is costing you money. Write Congress
today. Ask your Senators to vote for S. 1061. Ask
your Congressman to vote for H.R. 4700. Do it now!

PURPOSE
The purpose of the courses is
to teach the fundamentals of farm
arc welding which may be used in
the process of construction, repair
and maintenance of farm machin
ery and related equipment. The
scope of the courses includes an
introductory to welding, its im
portance, and development. The
course leads the student from the
basic technique of striking an arc
and running a bead in the flat
position through welding- joints
in flat, horizontal, vertical and
bverhead positions. The course is
a series of orderly and progressive
Bteps, each step utilizing the know
ledge and manipulative ability ac
quired in the previous lesson.
These courses are especially
helpful for school "drop-outs" and
adults who wish to learn a profession.
Mr. Andrews stated that the
farm welding training would also
be continued into the school pro
gram for juniors and seniors. This
'will give many students more in
centive to remain in school and will
decrease "drop-outs" and encourage
indifferent" students to learn
how to weld which will be benefi
cial to them on the farm.
Mr. Andrews also stated that it
is planned in the future to offer
courses in farm mechanics and
gasoline engine operation.

shown and look forward to con-
