Camera Club Will Display Work At Meeting May 13 The Brevard Camera Club, an organization composed largely of men connected with our companies, will sponsor an exhibition at the PTA meeting at the Brevard high school, Tuesday night, May 13th. The display will include about 40 of the club’s best prints made during the past year. The exhibi tion will be varied and is expected to attract much interest. Members of the club from our companies are Dick Landeck, Lloyd Harris, Nat Townsend, John Goldberger, Dr. Charles Ray, James Brennan, Paul Plaut, Dr. R. M. Levy, H. T. Casterton, and Frank Ferrell. Organized about a year ago, the club has grown and at present is probably turning out its most out standing work since the club was formed. The club meets twice a month at the homes of various members. Assignments are given each month and prints are dis played and criticized by the mem bers. Springtime fancies of people : turn to things other than love—as indicated by the jammed schedule I that the Ecusta band and enter- ! tainers have been meeting during ^ the month of April and the pros pect of being just as busy, if not 1 busier, in May. One of the biggest engagements I of the year for the entertainers was the Apple Blossom Festival at j Hendersonville, Friday, April 25. The Girls’ Quintet, the String Band, and the Square Dance team put on a fine show for this big event. The band is scheduled to play for the opening baseball game Saturday, April 26. Other April appearances of the band included a concert at the Bre vard high school April 16 and a similar concert for the Rosman high school and Elementary school student body on Monday afternoon, April 21. The Girls’ Quintet entertained for the lunch eon meeting of the W.N.C.A.C. or ganization in the cafeteria on April 15. On May 2, the band and enter tainers will give a program at Mills River high school at 8 p. m., and on May 16 a similar appearance will be made at the Etowah high school at the same hour. Other con certs are being arranged for band and entertainers during the month of May. WORK—Friction between peo ple slows up more work than fric tion in machines. “I have always found that if you don’t say too much—I don’t have so much to take back.”—Author Unknown. CHARACTER — Your creditors want to know when you’ll come across—not when your ancestors did. New Equipment For Camp Sapphire Picnic Area *■ it"'' While the winter winds have been howling, there’s been plenty of activity at Camp Sapphire. One of the most welcomed projects completed is the building of new concrete tables and benches for the, picnic area. Several of these have been built and will definitely add something to those outings this summer. Othex improvements around the camp include reworking of the athletic field, a new septic tank, and renovation and enlargement of the tennis courts.
