Tractor School
Will Be Held
Here Saturday
There Swill be a Tractor Mainte
nance School at the Waynesville
Atrhory Saturday, March 27, start
ing at 10 o'clock.
Due to the shortage of tractors
it is necessary tiiat proper care
and maintenance be given them.
There are many things which the
driver of a tractor can do in prop
er maintenance. Must of the time
it is necessary to get a mechanic
when your tractor does not func
tion properly due to some slight
maladjustment, however, with
some knowledge of tractor mecha
nism, the driver can make these
adjustments himself and save this
expense.
The following points will be cov
ered in the school:
1. General principles of internal
combustion engine.
2. Fuels and carburetion sys
tems. 3. Cooling systems.
4. Lubrication.
5. Oil Alters and air cleaners.
6. Ignition.
7. Operation, safety and storage.
Drivers and owners of tractors
(including jeeps) should attend
this school for a good program of
daily maintenance can add many
months and even years to the life
of your tractor and can substan
tially reduce the frequency of ma
jor overhauls.
A display of air cleaners, oil
filters, tractor, charts, etc., will be
on the program at the school and
J. C. Ferguson, agricultural engi
neering specialist from North Car
olina State College will assist at
the schools.
Tractors will be used in the instruction.
Surveys show that workers and
salaried executives make up the
bulk of American airline travelers.
About 39 pel cent earn less than
$6,000 annually, another 38 per
cent earn "executive's salaries" of
$6,000 to $15,000 and only 22 per
cent earn more than $15,000 a year.
gious scenes mounted on vividly
colored velvets and silks, often
with a silk cord and tassel so they
could be hung on the wall.
Gradually flowers were intro

came the familiar chicks, bun

delightfully humorous note to
the gay present-day greetings.
