Paekard's Record Better

Packard is another company
which has held onto its dealer
organization. l. yman Sack,
sales manager, says that the
company has 93.1 per cent OF
its pre-war organization, which
would make it even better than
Ford's record.
An amazing thing is that
about so per cent of the dealers
are paying their fixed expenses
out of service profits. Only
about 5 per cent were able TO
claim this distinction before the
war.

Sheep Raising
Very Profitable

Raleigh, N. c., May 11-Al-
though Commissioner of Agri-
culture w. Kerr Scott is one of
the States leading dairymen, he
has come to the conclusion that
"a few sheep properly handled
will pay dividends | unsurpassed
by another major farm animal.
In an effort to prove that sheep
raising is a profitable business,
Commissioner Scott, working
through the marketing division
of the State Department of Ag-
riculture, is endeavoring to i'm
port this spring over 5000 ewes
from the ranches of Wyoming and
Montana.
These sheep, explained Scott,
will be bought by the department
through a revolving fund set up
for this purpose and will be re-
sold at cost to any farmers inter-
ested in growing sheep.
Under present conditions, the
capital investment for the breed
ing eve can be returned to the
owner in about a year," declared
Scott recently in explaining the
relatively fast profits which may
be realized.
Pointing out that the number
of sheep in this State have de-
clined from 100000 to 1870, to Co.
600 head today, Scott said Sat-
urday that 1T is the patriotic du-
ty of every farmer to do every
thing possible to help with the
war effort. BY producing sheep
he will not only put North Caro-
lima back on the map as regards
this industry, but will at the
same time produce meat and
clothing for lend-lease and for

Carlyle Is Speaker; Two Ashe
County Students Among
Graduates

Appalachian State Teachers
College graduated 100 young men
and women in the commencement
exercises which concluded Friday
and in which Irving Carlyle,
State Senator from Forsyth Coun-
ty, was the main speaker.
This was the forty-third annual
commencement, the thirteenth in
which the college has conferred
bachelors degrees.
Education for Life" was the
theme of Senator Carlyle's adj
dress.
SIN the course of life" he said
men must live by more than
bread alone. He must take ad-
vantage of his opportunities. The
high plane of life is made so by
mental development. One who
pursues an education today
should have a conception of ed
ucation. Even in a time like this
it is we'll to remember that the
world still contains indestructible
values, and the perseverance of
these values is a task to which
each of us is called. Some of
these values are: First, the ca
pacity of the human race to ad-
vance and progress. Second, the
world moves constantly in the di-
rection of a greater freedom of
mankind. We must break the
letters by which men have been
bound, on political planes, the
planes of physical we'll being; the
economic, and the mental phase.
In North Carolina the most valu-
able possession is it's people,
with their solid, dependable quail
tiles. Third, the challenge of ones
better nature for the things that
are right in every situation. The
value of a thing is determined by
its cost. This is true of education,
both in its development and it's
application. The world looks to
you to work and sacrifice, if need
be, for these indestructable val
ues."
Those who graduated from
Ashe county, were Cleta Miller
