PAGE TWO THE YANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JUL? ? 1936 Editor .'.3rrrT Mrs. C. R. Hafnricik Managing Ed. Lee E. Edwards Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBUSHING CO. A Partnership Entered u second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Post Office, at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of r March *. 1879. ‘ - - BURNSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL^NEWS (Fr a “The Scribe”) NYA BENEFITS SCHOOL STUDENTS The Burnsville School has been greatly benefited in many ways by the work of the students who are employed by the NYA. Their duties are numerous in this school. Students are employed in the following duties: typing, carpen tery, teacher’s assistants, house keepers, and patrolmen. The typists are very useful in the school because by them, an nouncements are typed for the bulletin boards, all news for the school paper, and letters for school correspondence and busi ness. The carpenters are kept busy repairing broken chairs; window lights, seats in the gymnasium, and budding scenery for the plays. They are also responsible for painting and varnishing things in both gymnasium and class rooms.: The teachers’ assistants aid' them greatly by grading daily and monthly test papers, averaging grades for report cards, and re cording grades on the registers.: This takes many responsibilities off the teachers and gives the stu dents good experience. The work of the house-keepers seems more useful to the tidiness of the building and is more ob served by the students than any other of the work accomplished „ by them: The halls and rooms are swept when ever necessary. All paper is kept off the floors and the campus. Then last but not least, the & patrolmen on the school buses play a helpful part. These boys and girls see that students are seated in the order that they get off. They report to the principal students who display bad conduct. - r The NYA not only helps the " school as a whole, but'ft also gives many opportunities to the student which are not given to the stu dent body as * . whole. ESSAY CONTEST SPONSORED BY BURNSVILLE P. T. A, The Parent-Teacher Association of Burnsville High School is : sponsoring an essay contest for the high school. Any student in Burnsville High School is eligi ble. The subject of the essay is: “What Democracy Means To Me.’’ The essay must be entirely ori ginal, It must be written in ink and on unruled paper. The liiaki mum length is five hundred words. AU entries should be handed to Ur. Tomberlin by Feb ruary 10th. The write: of the best essay will receive n cash prize of five dollars; the sacond, three dollars. Although this has been recent ly announced, much interest is being shown by the students. It is ' hoped that as many students as possible will enter the contest as the subject is one that should in terest all students. « ___ NEW BOOKS ADDED TO SCHOOL LIBRARY Through the efforts of Mrs. J. S. LeFevre several new books were: donated to the Elementary library. Two hundred and eighty five books were received in the shipment. The following books were do nated: Eighth grade: Child Library Reader, 49; The Silent Reader, 66. Seventh grade: The Elson Reader, 42; Child Library Read er, 37; The Silent Reader, 12. Sixth grade: The Elson Reader, 16; The Client Reader, 1; I , Fifth grade: Child Library R«ader, 18; Elson Reader, 1; Not graded: Arabian Nights, 18; Tha' Liberty Reader, 36. Lack of library equipment is the biggest reason why our school \» not on the standard list. Al though we have almost enough readers such as the ones Mrs. LeFevre donated, we need about eight hundred volumes of library hooka. We certainly wish there were more citizens like Mrs. Le Feme, i j Lt| . TEAM GETS NEW BASKETBALL SUITS Hurrah for >the yellow and green!

Where Cars Run Thousands of *1 j Miles Without License Plates BSP* C Sr matt mb. m pf Two automobiles without ' license plates have been aver- | aging 25 miles a day on Detroit , streets and getting away with it. No traffic cop holds them up. Detroiters do not know of these cars or the streets on which they run. j The pilots of these unlicensed autos drive in eternal darkness, except for their headlights, which burn constantly. The beams of these headlights flash on crystal pillars and arches and roadbeds as the cars curve and twist through 20 miles of streets in the great salt mine lying a quarter of a mile be -1 neath the traffic of Detroit. Few Detroiters even know j Bi 1 more, N. C.—The 'American Guernsey Cattle ;Club, Peterborough, N. H. . reports the sale of a regis •l tered Guernsey bull by E. . J.

Thirty years ago immense 1 ; deposits of salt were discovered ! a thousand to fifteeq hundred feet below Detroit's west side. ! A shaft was sunk by the Inter national Salt Company, which | has been burrowing under De- 1 troit ever since. Distances finally became so great that the ! automobile idea got into the j company's head. The -difficulty ■ was that no road,ran into the mine. The only way was by vertical ] shaft. So the salt company put its problem up to the Ford Mo tor Company. The next difficulty was that ; a regular closed car wouldn't THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1941 \• • \ Asheville, N.

Then into the depths of the shaft went the topless cars. There was no need to put the tops on again, for no rain or snow ever falls in ttye- city of 1 salt, where the temperature is always 58 degrees. 1 One of the cars was assigned | to foreman Edward Yipee, who has worked in the mine since the shaft was first sunk in 1910. The other Ford is equipped as a repair and maintenance car and is used chiefly by the mechanical trouble shooter in keeping the mine’s far-flung * ' machinery in working order.
