Mutual Of Hew York A«litiilLlhlMitUM(i.ilNni Tilt of the currently unemployed are those who are lacking in real skills. We need more schools with voca tional training—so far as I know, the only school in this area offer ing such training is the Lee Ed wards High school,” Mr. Ford said. He added: ‘‘Ninety per cent of ap plications filled out at our plant in Black Mountain are made by individuals who have not complet ed the tenth grade of school. There is a limited number of opportuni ties for this type of employee. We do employ some of them, and train them, but this is a long process— in a group of six workers, for in stance, only about one such worker can be absorbed. The trouble is,” he declared, “young people have not appreciated what lies ahead of them when they get out of school-—or what they expect to earn. Meanwhile, we are continu ously searching for skilled people —and we must get across this need to all our youngsters in this area, just as we get across the need for a good labor climate, if Western North Carolina is to attract more industry,” Mr. Ford stated, adding, “I am not critical of the WNC school system. What we have is good, but we need to add to it, we need to get the people inter ested and see that they do not just take second best.” He suggested that members of the Chamber of Commerce and local students make visits to the local Ex-Cell-0 plant to observe industry in action. William Hickey presided at the meeting. H. McGuire Wood re ported that Chamber of Commerce maps of the town and area will be available in about two weeks and that 11 benches for use in the downtown area have been repaired and re-painted in connection with the current “Clean-Up and Faint Up” campaign. The sum of $65 for expenses in this drive was voted. —President Franklin D.

OUR SOJOURN IN TEXAS (Continued) Of all the folks that left here for Texas, only a few ever re turned. My brother, C. S. Moffitt, came often on a visit. We never knew anything- much about his business. We only knew he was a contractor and builder. He sent Father mon ey regularly, and always brought us younger children nice clothes and other things. Mark and I were married in 1900. In 1904, C. S. brought his wife and four children here on a month’s vacation, also Sherman and his family came, too. They came on a railroad pass. After they had prone back to Texas, Mark and I decided we’d like to go to Texas. I wrote to my brother. C. ft. wouldn’t write for us to come, but told Sherman to write us to come on. He had sent for some others of our family. They were home sick and blamed him for being out there. So he fixed it so if we were homesick we’d take it out on Sherman instead of him. So we sold everything except our bed clothing and what we could take as baggage, and were on our way. We were told if we’d go to Ashe ville and wait until 1 o'clock in the night and catch the "Vesti bule,” the fast train, we’d meet connection with the fast trains all the way, and wouldn’t be on the way so long. This was back in 1904, 55 years ago. We had never been out of the state or any distance from these mountains and had never ridden on a train. We boarded the train in Black Mountain for Asheville. When we got off the train at the depot in Asheville with our two little children and our hand lug gage, it was raining. We hurried into the waiting room., the wait ing room was closed. We moved out into the rain. We left Asheville at 1 o’clock that night (or morning). We ar rived in Memphis, Tenn., that night at 9 o’clock. As we stepped off of the train, the conductor said “hurry, hurry, to the transfer. Your train is over yonder waiting for you.” He walked with us out to some kind of a horse-drawn ve hicle. I couldn’t tell much about it, there wasn’t good lights, as we have today. We boarded that ve hicle with several others. The driver whipped up those horses and they ran or galloped all the way over there. That was one rough ride. There were several trains standing there. A conduc tor reached for our tickets. He pointed out everyone’s train. When he looked at our tickets he pointed to a train and said “That is your train the Cannonball?” (Continued) TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS! I I I LOWEST! PRICE EVER!
