NEW AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS

Area vocational schools are to be part OF
the postwar expansion in North Carolina. They
are being encouraged by Governor Cherry. He
told a meeting in Scotland county last week,
that the establishment of such schools for agri-

real contribution to the progress of the state.

is glad to learn that the Governor is so enthusi-
