Pagre 4 THE WaVNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1942 (One Day N Women1 Urged To Join War Work By State Leader RALEIGH Failure of enough North Carolina women to prepare themselves for work essential to the victory effort is causing a se rious reduction in enrollment in training courses financed by the Federal government, Director Ed ward W. Ruggles, of the N. . State College Extension division declared yesterday. Citing the War Manpower Com mission's edict that the coming year will see millions of additional wom en required in war work, Director Ruggles said too few North Car olinians are taking advantage of the free courses which will qualify them for work in war Industries and essential government activ ties. "Women must prepare them selves for the fast-approaching period when they will be called on in increasing numbers to enter the war production program," Ruggles declared. "It has got to be done. Women must take a larger role in the battle on the home-front By preparing themselves now, they will be ready to perform efficiently the duties- of the man they re lease from the production line and ether war work for military ser vice." Ruggles said vancancies exist in every one of the short courses of fered at State College for men and women desiring to train them selves for work vital to the vic tory program. The situation has arisen despite continued appeals for more non-college students, particularly women, to enroll and become prepared for lucrative jobs offered by war industries and other agencies literally begging for more technically trained work ers. Some of the jobs Open to women pay as high as $2,000 annually to start. Ruggles had a request for five women to take drafting jobs paying $135 to $150 monthly to begin. He was unable to fill the re quest because the hundreds of women who have completed the short courses at State College already are holding down essen tial jobs. Nearly a score of short courses have been scheduled to start in a new series next month., Ruggles said, urging women to write to his office for a new bulletin de scribing the courses, which last from 10 to 20 weeks. All expenses of the training except students' subsistance and textbooks are paid by the Federal government through the U. S. office of education. In most courses, high school graduation is the only edu cations requirement. Courses in the new series will include, aerial bombardment pro tection, aircraft inspection, archi tectural and marine drafting, chemical testing and inspection, engineering drawing, engineering fundamentals, fabric inspection and testing fundamentals of ma chinery, industrial safety engin eering materials testing and in spection, production supervision, war production engineering and contracting, radio communication and surveying. In addition, courses are avail able in aircraft sheetmetal work, welding and machine shop prac tices. Hundreds of men and women have taken the training since the courses first started at State Col lege two years ago. The record for job placements has been "prac tically perfect." Ruggles has re ported. Usually, classes were filled quickly. In recent months, how ever, enrollment has declined as the availibility of male students decreased. The slack has not been taken up by women, despite the frantic appeals of war industries and agences for technically train ed women. For this reason, Director Rug gles was particularly urgent today in inviting women to enroll in the new series. He has written a special appeal to women's clubs throughout the state to co-operate in securing students.

One was a toy counter, where a se lection of movie dolls was featured. The otheran optical department catered to the trade who could not afford glasses unless they could ar range to pay for them on credit. Visiting the shop the night before Christmas, I watched a tiny little girl . . I'm sure she couldn't have been more than six ... . . standing before the already sadly depleted doll counter. Her eyes were big as she looked up at the one doll still unsold, and there was a child'i longing in them as she tugged at the tattered overall Jacket of her fa ther, busy talking to the optome trist ' "Daddy," she called, her voice shrill with excitement, "look! Isn't it the darlingest thing? Do you think Santa will bring it to me?" The man's tired face turned toward her, and a hurt expression flushed across it settling hopeless ly In the gray eyes. " 'Fraid not, Mary," he answered. "1 saw Santa in a store down the street a while ago, and he said that he'd be about Ecuador's President Honored Art Of s!

E. Sentelle n the feeding of his flock of chickens, with which he states he is getting the maximum of egg production. He has raised on his farm in the Pigeon section of the county during the past summer five grains, of the corn and cane varieties. These he has shredded together and is now feeding his Chickens. The five grains are as follows: Kaffir corn, which has stalks like cane, which are good for forage and the grain is excellent for the chickens. Grohama, which belongs to the corn group has an abundant crop of grain, Feterita, of the cane group, Hegaria, corn variety, and Milomaze, which also belongs to the corn group. Mr. Sentelle stated that if this combination had ever been grown and used here for feeding chickens he had not heard of its use, though he stated that commercial scratch feed often contain Kaffis corn and milomazie.

Don't be superstitious. Get rabbit's foot. She turned to make one last appeal! out of everything by the time he reached our house. Reckon he might have some sweets, or maybe a rag doll, though. And he's prom ised for sure to bring those glasses. "Oh!" Tears were in her eyes, but she fought them back bravely, and her worn coat sleeve wiped the last trace of them away. "I did so want one of them," she whispered. "But I'm glad Santa isn't going to bring it to me. It means that he's found someone else who wants it even worser than I do, don't it, Daddy?" "Come on, Mary," the optome trist called, taking the little girl by the hand. "Santa told me to see what kind of glasses you should have, so' s to be sure he'd get it right. Now Just sit In this chair and do as I say." The examination didn't last long, and I was still there when it was completed. The optometrist turned to the father. "I'll make a special effort to finish them tonight," he said.- - He was back soon, a slip in his hand. "I've fixed it with the man agement. A dollar now, and a dol lar a month until the balance of five dollars is paid." Mary had returned for a final look at the toy. "Don't you think. Daddy, that the glasses could come as a birthday present, and ... oh, I did want a doll so badly! But . . . but I won't cry." . Her father hadn't heard. He was busy feeling in his pockets for the dollar needed for the down payment. He found a lean wallet, and from it pulled a quarter and seven dimes. He counted them over twice, a scared look on his face, then began a renewed search. Triumphantly, he finally produced an eighth dime, and handed the silver to the optometrist.'- As the man in overalls and his elfin daughter started toward the door, the girl behind the doll coun ter looked at the optometrist, then at me, a tear in her eye. Then she ran after the pair. "Wait a mo ment isn't your name Mary?" she asked.'; - "Uh-huh?" the little girl an swered, bewildered. "Then 1 guess ' Santa meant you. ' He was here just a tew minutes ago, and said he had a doll for a little girl named Mary, but he was afraid he wouldn't have the time to deliver it Then he remembered that the little girl's father said he was com ing here, so he asked me if I'd keep the doll and give it to you. That's it, up on the counter. Take it and run away, because I'm so busy I haven't time to talk." ; Shyly, Mary reached up for the proffered treasure, and hugged it close. Mary was speechless while her benefactor busied herself behind the counter. Suddenly the girl felt a tug at her skirt and Mary was at her side, looking up at her. "1 be lieve you're Mrs. Santa Claus." the child whispered, awe in her voice. As the door closed behind the pair, the girl took her purse from her bag and looked inside. "Mts. Santa Claus, Indeedl" J heard her mutter. "Lucky for me this is pay day. or Mrs. Santa wouldn't eat tomorrow." Considering the price of eggs, at last it's the hen's turn to crow.
