TEXTILE SCHOOL OF
FERS MANY OPPOR
TUNITIES
The following release
from the Textile School,
N. C. State College, calls
attention to the many op
portunities in the textile
field, the largest industry
in North Carolina:
The possibilities of fut
ure employment as well as
the emergencies of the pre
sent should b considered by
high school graduates in
exposing a vocation. , ...
“Considering tentfe, tar
paulins, parachutes, plane
fabrics, webbing, and many
other items in addition to
garments, it is estimated
that the United States ne
eds 300 to 350 pounds of
textile products per sold
ier.” Expansion of the
army ~to 3,600,000 by the
end of the year will require
a tremendous increase in
the production of textile
products if the American
Army is to be properly eq
uipped for the days that
are ahead, so industrious
and capable young men
and women will find'in the
textile industry many op
_ portunities for service dur
ing the present emergency.
They will also find in the
textile industry anToppor
tunity to develop any par
ticular talent which they
may possess. Those who
are fascinated by machin
ery will find that many
intricate machines are us
ed in the manufacture and
- processing of yarns and
Those who have
_ artistic talent will find a
real opportunity for crea
tive work in the designing
and coloring of knitted and
woven fabrics.
Others who have an in
clination for research will
find wide fields of work in
the development of new
dyes, chemicals and other
ingredients’ used in the
processing and finishing of
fabrics, and in the rayon
industry. In might

KYSER STILL RIBBING
IN LATEST FUN-MOVIE
Coming to the Yancey
Sun. and Mon., Aug. 9-10
Whether-it be on the air
or in his films, Kay Kyser,
the Old Professor of the
College of Musical Knowled
ge, likes, to poke fun at any
one or anything, or even at
himself for that matter,
In his first picture,
“That’s Right, You’re Wro
ng”, the popular band lead
er-comedian turned the spo
tlight on Hollywood and the
cinema industry and kidded
them- in delightful fashion.
Hb also took a fall out of
himself for trying to be an
actor.
Currently Kay is starred
in “Playmates,” another
laugh-riot in which he ag
ain portrays himself. This
time he harmlessly kids
Shakespeare, and 'comes
mighty close to murdering
the Bard of Avon’s immirt
al drama while proving that
he, Kyser, is no great shakes
as a Shakespearean actor!
But it’s all in fun, and there
are more chuckles than a
tree-full of marmosets.
Barrymore adds to the
merriment by portraying a
once-great Shakespearean
actor who, in order to land
a fat radio contract, agrees
to teach Kyser, a swing
band leader, how to dish
out “Hamlet” and ‘‘Merch
ant of Venice” with as much
eass as a boogie-woogie
beat. The hilarious results
involve Lupe Valez, May
Robson, Patsy Kelly, Peter
Lind Hayes, Ginny Simms
and all the members of the
Kyser orchestra in riotous
situations. *
i his is the last picture
that Barrymore appeared in 1
before his death. :

There has been some mis
understanding and confus
ion concerning the 3-A
classification of registr
ants. This class includes
all men, either single or
married, who have depend
ants. ’
No 3-A man will be in
ducted for service until
his classification is chang.
ed. In reclassifying and
calling men for service,
single men will be first and
married men with smaller
number of de p e ndants
next, and so on. All men
with dependants are 3-A,
however.

ope you know. It provides
a home like atmosphere
and ; clean, worth while re
creation and entertainment
for the "man in eqrhp, and
the citizens of this county
should take pride in join
ing in this worth while un
dertaking for the men in
the armed forces.
