Ashe Described
AS One OF Best
Dairy Counties
Bates Says This Section Is Not
Exceeded in Many Places
In United States.

Ashe is one of the best dairy
and beef counties in the United
States, H. C. Bates, field repre-
sentative of the American Guern-
sey Cattle association, told mem
bers of the local Rotary club last
Thursday night.
He pointed out that the grasses
in this section are ideally adapt
ed for profitable grazing and
praised the county for the pro-
gress it has made in the promo
ton and development of the dali
ry industry.
He said that Gwyn Price has
one of the finest herds in the
country and lauded the Rich Hill
dairy farm.
An interesting picture of the
Island of Guernsey where Guern-
sey cattle were first started and
bred up to their present high
standard, was shown.
Walter Worth, cashier Of the
Northwestern Bank, was well
coined into the club as new
member. A number of guests

"A" CERTIFICATES TO BE
REQUIRED FOR TEACHERS

At a recent meeting of the West
Jefferson district school board a
resolution was passed requiring
all teachers to have "A" certifi-
Gates for the next school year,
1942-43.
It was pointed out that this
would give some of the teach
ers in the system who do not at
present have an "A" certificate,
an opportunity to raise theirs
should they desire to continue
teaching. Most Of the counties of
the state require teachers to hold
an "a" certificate and by this
ruling are able to secure teachers
who are better prepared. Not hav-
ing this rule, recent statistics
from the state department of ed
ucation show that Ashe is among
the bottom counties for having
teachers with "A" certificates.

Principals For
Fleetwood And
R'view Named
Wade Eller to Return to Riv-
erview; Ivan Miller Sue
ceeds Jas. Stanley.
TEACHERS CHOSEN

While the county board of edu-
cation has not yet met to place
the official stamp of approval on
them and the other principals of
the Ashe county high schools, it
is understood that district school
boards have chosen Ivan Miller
as principal of Fleetwood high
school, to replace James Stanley,
and that Wade Eller will again
serve as principal of the River
view high school.
Teachers for these schools have
also been approved by the local
boards. 1t is expected that these,
as well as the others for the
county, will be passed upon by
the county board of education at
the regular meeting, July Z, and
announced soon afterwards.
Mr.. Miller, who is the only new
principal chosen this year, has
been identified with the county
schools for several years. After
graduating from the University
of N. c., he taught in the county
schools, served as county super
intendent and then dropped out
of the teaching profession for a
few years. Last year he returned
to the county and taught in the
Lansing high school.
James Stanley has successful
ly served as principal of the
Fleetwood high school for nine
years. His plans for the coming
year could not be learned yester-
day.
Earlier in the spring there was
some differences of opinion
among the members Of the River
view school board as to whether
or not Mr.. Eller would be chosen
to again head the school which
he has worked hard to build up.
At their initial meeting a short
time ago, John Donnelly, a ma
tive of that section of the coun-
ty and former principal of the
West Jeffers0a high sch>o d was
elected to succeed Mr.. Eller, but
this election was apparently null
lifted when Mr.. Eller served no
tice that he was already the duly
elected principal of the school un-
der the continuing contract"
clause of the new state law.
When the controversy arose,
Mr.. Donnelly, who has been prin-
cipal of the Mooresville high
school for the past four years, de-
clared that he was not interested
in accepting the position under
the circumstances and it is I'M
derstood that he will continue to
serve as principal at Mooresville.
He is now attending summer
school at the University of North
Carolina.
