P. i Wood from Asheville Speaks j During the Program The Farm Ownership ! borrowers of Yancey and Mitchell Counties met at the Methodist church in Burnsville on January 26 ; for their annual meeting to discuss ways and means! of increasing food produc tion to help in the war ef fort. The meeting was! opened with prayer by J. { W. Holcombe, committee man. Mack B. Ray and Erskine B. Bailey, County! RR Supervisors, were in charge of , the meeting. The meeting was very in formal and each farmer was given a chance to tell j in what way he was going' to increase his production! jof milk, eggs, beef, wool and food crops. During the morning ses sion Mrs. Goodman. HM Supervisor for Yancey cou nty, presented in chart form the progress the fam ilies made during 1942. 'Erskine B. Bailey, RR Sup ! ervisor for Mitchell County, ’ gave the infomation so r ! Mitchell County. The char-j . ts were actual progress re k cords taken from farm and 'jhome records kept by the ; FSA families. The charts. _ also revealed that the far mers were paying so r their farms much faster /than was anticipated, with one borrov T er making three payments on his farm this year. Our part in Food Pro-j DEFERMENT FOR MINING This Local Board is being called on almost daily to defer registrants for the mining industry. We are trying to cooperate just as far as possible. In a few instances which usually ap plies to individual miners we find that the registrant is not mining as much as 40 hours each week and as a result no deferment is due or is granted. If we defer a registrant for any occupation he mustj work as much as forty hours each week in that 1 [particular kind pf work un less for some cause beyond his control. The greatest difficulty we find is that some min ing firm will ask for defer ment of one of his employ ees and in many instances jby the time classification !is made and card mailed to both registrant and em ployer the registrant has left the job and gone to another mine or another different kind of employ ment. In making this change the registrant may have his deferment termi nated at once and be sub ject to the next call for the Army. An employer who hires a registrant who has been defered for some other firm or individual may be denied the privilege of se 11 '! MAKS vB EVERT PAY DAT BOND MY NUMBER TWENTY-SIX duction for the United Na tions and Good Farm and Home Practices was, dis cussed by Mrs. Jones, HM Supervisor for Mitchell County. L_ _ 1 A picnic lunch was ser ved by the farm women and everyone present en joyed the meal very much. The afternoon portion of the program began with ! an inspiring talk on the val !ue of farm records by i Grady Bailey of the Farm ers Federation. The problem of money ! management was discussed by William T. Brown, Jr., associate RR Supervisor for Yancey, County, and he especially emphasized the j importance of paying | ahead on farms while times jare good and getting ahead for a rainy day. The meeting was sum marized by W. Bryan Oli ver, District RR Supervisor Asheviile. who impressed on everyone present the tremendous task the farm ier has before him in pro ducing food for the armed force. We feel that everyone left the meeting more will ing to bear the responsibi lity of helping feed a world at war and that they could manage to increase produce tion in spite of the short age of labor, lack of 1 new farm machinery, etc. Ap proximately seventy -five farm men and women at tended the meeting. , - BUY WAR BONDS curing deferments for his 1 employees in the future. Circumstances some times enter into the case where by the employee may seek employment elsewhere in I case the job for which he is defered should close down or probably U. S~ Employment may recom mend that he is needed at another mine more than I where he might be employ ed. | Employers should b e I very careful not to hire men from other employers until they contact the U. S. Employment office at Spruce Pine. This Local board is working with the U. S. Employment and try ing to cooperate fully in all respects. In some in stances employers file Form 42A after their employee has been called for Military service and is denied defer ment for the registrant be cause this is beyonl control of the board to reopen the case after the man is called for service. It is very noticable the mines are employing 18 and 19 year old young men. Replacements of the young men should be made just as fast as possible because the young men are needed for the armed forces.
