"We have never thought it pos sible to get such wonderful co operation. It is men like Jonathan Woody that will make your com munity .into a big little' city," Mr. Freedlander stated. "I am more Impressed with Rjywood every time I come here," he continued, as he reassured The Mountaineer that "we aim to keep this a Haywood County develop ment, and to make our Haywood plant a model one." "The type people who represent the community have been so co operative and shown such a willing Mf to work with us that the com munity should be able to attract o'her industries," Mr. Freedlander wggested. .. The firm is a pioneer in the rub ber industry, and a leader in the synthetic rubber field, and make several hundred products. They are the originators of the V-shape belts, and ar leaders in the pro duction of this type fan belt for automobiles. Another of their leading items include special equip ment for the textile trade. While tke company makes a high quality to, it is said that they will not make tires here for the present. The Dayton Rubber Manufact uring Company now holds the state contract for tires and belts. . On one of his trips to this com ity, Mr. Freedland visited Ivy Hill, Jonathan Creek and the Pig on Valley Sections, and was im pressed with the homes and living conditions of his prospective em ployees. President Freedlander and his as wiates have been frequent visitors this community since last July. At least four of the directors ol company made trips here, and jumber of engineers. The Dayton Rubber Manufact "w? Company is not a new con in North Carolina, as they wiwd tflra McClaren Rubber Com J"y Plant in Charlotte until re "'y. Their purpose in moving the mountains was due to the wt amount of cold water needed tneir operations.

Must Be Said The STOCK---: ' MM9 Vocational Courses Will Start Today At High School Oat Of School Youths Be tween 17 and 25 To Be Given Opportunitj To Learn Trade The state department of educa tion has given the "go-ahead" sig nal for classes to start in the train ing of out of school youth of the Waynesville school district The proarram which has been placed with the county educational forces will be under the direct supervision of the agricultural teacher in the school in which the classes are given. Classes will be organised for the Waynesville district this afternoon at 4 o'clock and all who are Inter ested are asked to report at that hour at the high school building. In the beginning only two class eg will be taught here. One in electricity, which will be taught by Fred Ratctiff, will be held in the school industrial shop. The other class, in repair of automobiles, trucks and tractors, will be held in the county garage at the school and will be taught by Lawrence Jones, mechanic for the county board of education owned motor Vehicles. Any youth between the ages of 17 and 25 will be eligible. Ther1 are no educational qualifications, except that a boy be able to read and wriite, though the courses are open also to college trained men. Girls may also enroll if they de sire such training. There will be neither charge for the courses giv en, nor renumeratlon for the work, except, the training that the enroll- ee receives. The program is in no way con nected with any other government agency, and there are "no strings" attached. The purpose of the train ing is to fit these youths into in dustry by giving them additional skills or new skills in a trade of their choice. Courses are financed by the federal government and supervised by the vocational forces of the various states and counties. Those enrolled may determine the content of the courses and have the authority to select the hours of the church on Thursday evening, De day at whiich time they will take j cember 19, at 6:80 o'clock, the courses of course. J L. C. Davis Is program leader An individual may enroll for . and will arrange for an out-of-town onP or more courses, As the de - rounds warrant other courses will be organised, including woodwork ing, building, and repairing struc tures, concrete work, iron and metal work. At present there is only a demand for the two courses previously mentioned. Registration in a course has no bearing on whether or not a person will be called into service. However, if the person does not find himself prepared to enter a trade rather than be placed in the labor batallion. Since industry in home centers is demanding more skilled work men, after a period of applied training the boys enrolled in the courses should find no difficulty in being absorbed by local industry.
