f page two / Farm Shop ! Work Taught At A. and T. Fills Important Need Ip Wartime In this alj-out for war effort, the teachers . of focatlonal agriculture play a tremendous role. ilore than ewer before their Job covers a broader field. Now, they must do and teach the farmers to do Jobs which the carpenter, blacksmith aud the mechanic did. These important artisans, having left the farm, are either with the armed forces or lo defense Industry. Realizing that a readjustment in training Is imperative. W. T. Johnson. Instructor In rural engineering. A. and T. college, attemped to meet this need during the school year of 1M1-42. Provisions were made in units of work which are pertinent to agriculture and the war effort. These units include skills and methods in farm shop work which the prospective vocational agriculture teachers and county agents can use, with necessary supplements, for the duration. The trainees had an opportunity to apply the skills and methods they had acquired outside of the college workshop. Working in four centers of Guilford county provided much of this actual participation for the trainees. In these sections they constructed several houses for the poultry and bogs. Beisdes these .they built two huts 36 feet by 16 feet at Camp Carlson (a scout camp for girls). This gave Invaluable experl ence In all phases of construction work, Including the reading of blue prints.' . j Because of the acute shortage in farm tools and machinery and the government urging conservation of farm machinery and equipment, the trainees did more repair Jobs.than usual. The college farm and those of the four centers provided a workshop forthls practice. Skill lu tool fitting and grinding, cold and hot metal work, ' forging and simple welding were readily used. As a byproduct of the above units of work the trainees gained Information "which j they can use to organize anil supervise defense classes In many parts of the state. The trainees also did actual Jobs In pouring concrete and the running of terr&ces. This year, as formerly, ^he department of rural engineering co-operated with the home economics department In giving the girls of the latter division training In simple' home mechanics. ^ .'

These pictures tell their own story. Rome Propaganda, Sinks Battleship The No. 1 job of axis propagandists in war time is to give the world the Impression that the axis Is winning the war. Every engagement must be made oat to be a victory. Claims of enemy losses are to be made as large as can be made plausible.

Rome, however, went Into great detail about the submarine which was believed to, have accomplished the feat of sinking the battle Berlin took Its cue from Rome, adding that the battleahlp was of the Maryland class.. All the German papers had headlined the sinking, said Berlin May 2S. Tbe United States navy made nol statement. Most axis claims of sinking of capital ships are made In order to' draw. Information about the whereabout*' or condition of such ships. Several united nations vessel* ' have been sunk over and over again If we can believe Home and Berlin. May 24, Tokyo joins the chorus. The American navy does not announce its losses, says Tokyo. May 24, Rome.announces that from Buenos Aires it Is reported that an Argentine ship, the Rio Iguasu. has taken on survivors of a United States battleship sunk off Brazil. Here, says Rome, Is eloquent and decisive proof of the sinking. Here U proof that the Italian submarine had accomplished its task.
