Final ac tion on the matter was deferred to a later' meeting: Equipment has been purchased by the town for testing milk, water and otherwise assisting in sanitary work of the town, and it was with a view of obtaining the general sentiment of milk producers and sellers that the public meeting was announced. . Mayor R^iph H. Ramsey pre sided over the meeting, explain ing the Working of the proposed plan, setting forth facts concern ing the correct production, label ing and sale 'of milk under the toAvn- ordinance. Reguljir inspec tion of the dairy, equipment and methods used are necessary for producers to be allowed' to sell milk as grade “A”, the mayor ex plained, with lesser degrees of ob servance of restrictions 'putting milk for sale in Brevard on ''B”, “Q” and “D” grades, all milk to be marked and sold as per its clas sification under the ordinance. Wallace Galloway and W. L. Mull discussed the small produc ers’ side of the matter, contend ing that it was unjust for a^ tax or license to be placed on a'per son in Brevard who has a cow or several cows to be taxed, and lev ied on for inspection charges un der the proposed ordinance, con tending that it was unfair for a taxpayer within the city limits to be charged a permit fee for sell ing milk that was produced in the town when owners of cows in the (Continued on page thrqe) SYLVAN FAIR BIGGEST EVENT EVER MAGED Over Thousand Entries in Lower Transylvania County Show BOYD TOWNSHIP WINS THE COMMUNITY PRIZE Three Days Will Be Set Aside Next Year for Great Showing The biggest event ever staged in Brevard was the Sylvan Valley fair held here last Friday and Sat urday when more than 1,000 en tries of all types of farm and home products, livestock and poul try were made. Expecting the fair to be of much larger proportions than that staged last fall. Professor Julian Glazener and committees from each of the township had made preparations to take care of what was looked forward to as a fine display, but were literally swamp ed by the magnitude of entries that came from, over half the homes of the lower end of the county. Young Tar Heel farmers and others, under the supervision of Professor Glazener had the entire lower floor of Brevard high school prepared for the exhibits, with adequate housing facilities for livestock and poultry in adjoining buildings. Miss Virginia Wilcox, with her class of Home Economics girls, assisted in arranging for the event and had a fine display of their work on exhibit, depicting the proper methods of furnishing a home, sewing, plain and fancy, canning, preserving and food preparation. Bruce Webb, promotion man ager of the Asheville Citizen- Times, which newspapers are: sponsoring the 5-10 movement in; Western North Carolina, had an educational exhibit. Mr. Webb and Prof. Glazener were both heard during the day in interest ing talks on phases of the agricul tural life of the county and upon the great good to be derived from staging fairs such as the one held here last week. Mr. Webb was; loud in his praise of the fine ■ showing made by farmers, farm women and students of the Bre vard high school district. John W. Artz, Polk county farm agent, and Miss Florence Cox. home demonstrator of that county, were judges for the event, and spent the entire day in classifying the many exhibits on display. Late in the afternoon, Mr. Artz called on County Agent 0. B. Jones of Henderson county to assist in completing the work. Boyd township won first prize, ten dollars in cash, for the best community exhibit, with Brevard township winning five dollars as second prize, and Little River two-fifty as runner-up. Much hard work was put in by the three com munities in an effort to carry off first honors in the township list. Little River was generally con ceded by many people in attend ance as having the best arranged community exhibit, but failed in having the large variety on dis play in the other two booths. ■ Material assistance in winning first honors was the educational exhibit effectively carried out in the Boyd township display. Of particular interest was the cross tie, lumber and chestnut wood ex hibit by Boyd township, depicting the fact that these assets w.ere badly depleted, necessitating look ing to agricultural interests for money crops. Another was rye, which was shown as being used for feed as a grain, bread, rough- age, silage, and as a cover crop and soil improver. Brevard township excelled in flower exhibits, many beautiful and rare plants filling the entire vocational agriculture depart ment. Prominent in this display was the outstanding dahlias shov.'n. An exceptionally fine farm home was part of the Little River display, built of miniature logs, with large green lawn, shade trees, walk, and flowers. All work in the model home was hand- carved. Several head of purebred live stock was on display, this being a large improvement over previous Brevard fairs. Adding interest to this phase of the exhibit was over 20 purebred spotted Poland China gilts shown by members of Prof. Glazener’s agriculture class. Plans are already being laid by Prof. Glazener and other inter ested workers for staging the (Conliniiod on page throe) JAKEF. NEWELL HEARD BY BIG CROWD HERE FINEDISPUYS ARE SEEN AT UPPE^FAIR Rosman Event Is Big Im provement Over Any Previous Fair CHERRYFIELD WINS FIRST BOOTH PLACE Large List of Winners; Purebred Livestock Adds Interest Jake F. Newell’s vote, if he gets into the United States senate chambers, will be emphatically “no” as to the repeal or modifica tion of the 18th amendment, and not even his own party can dic tate to him on a moral question, he told a mass meeting of Tran sylvania county Republicans here Tuesday in an appeal for their support of him as the Republican nominee to the senate. Referring to criticized enforce ment of the 18th amendment, Newell said, “The United States can enforce this law or any other law for that matter. If I am elected, and should it become nec essary, I would favor calling out the United States army and the United States navy, to show the scalawags and liquor heads of this country that the law can be en forced. Furthermore, the coun try could have enforcement of laws if citizens and candidates would quit aligning themselves with the liquor heads and booze crowd.” Continuing his argument prohibition, Newell said that “preachers have a place in politics whenever a moral question or problem is involved. “Liquor will be doomed,” lie said, “when the churches take a stand for right—all of them—and then stand. Preachers have a right to stand for decency. If a moral question is involved, then thev have a right in politics.” TAXATION Angle Discussing the revenue angle of the proposal that liquors he han dled under government supervi sion and with a tax imposed on all sales, Newell said that should liquor come back and be sold un der a tax, the federal government and not the individual states will Ipvv rnllppt and hpnpflt Pntirplv muiviuuai uispiay “ beneht -entirely statuary and flower display in the center of the large gym building. Cement art With twice the interest shown over that of the previous like event, Rosman Community Fair was accorded a success in every for Saturday. Along with the increased number of entries was also noted the improved qual ity of the exhibits, and a more diversified farm crop showing. Cherryfield-Calvei't community won first place in the community booth contest, with Quebec st^cond and Rosman third. No cash prizes were offered at the Rosman Fair. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Bell won the live-at-home ribbon, 40 varieties of home grown foods being dis played. Vast improvement was noted in the livestock exhibits. While the number of entries was small, purebred animals were notewor thy among the exhibits. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hutches carried off individual display from the tax. “I am a prohibitionist,” the speaker declared. “If I am elect ed and it is proposed to repeal the 18th Amendment, I will vote ‘no’; if it is proposed to modify the 18th amendment, I also will vote ‘no ' ” work depicting war mementos cleverly displayed, banked by beautiful home grown flowers that was the center of attraction . throughout the day.

Mrs. Jordan Whitmire, Rosman editor, is very ill at her home and unable to furnish the in teresting news topics that are a regular part of this news paper. The Times regrets very much this unavoidable omis sion. Resumption of the Ros man section will be made next week, it is hoped. of labor to bargain collectively, If electe-d, he declared, he would not try to bring any “bacon” back to North Carolina that did not/ belong to this state, and would/ seek only that which rightfully belonged to his people. Discussing the depression, Mr. Newell said that he could not see how the Republicans were to blame'for it. A twenty-four bil lion dollar debt was piled up In consequence of the World war, lh3 said, and another eleven billions loaned out to European countries. “I won’t 'Dromise to cure the de pression if you elect me,” he stat ed emphatically—“the Democrats are promising that and they ought to be able to cure it as they have had a depression every time they have been in power. Their idea of how to cure the depression is to spend more money.” Twelve thousand people are now on the North Carolina pay roll, the speaker asserted, and charged that jobs were created by the Democrats to take care of their henchmen. Crawford F. James, of Marion, Republican nominee for congress in this -district, also spoke. Out standing in his remarks was the statement that “I will leave the wet problem to the majority of the people under the plan laid out in the national platform; and I am not in favor of either repeal ing or modifying the 18th Amend ment.” James F. Barrett, of Hender sonville. introduced Mr. James, and Lewis P. Hamlin, of Brevard, introduced Mr. Newell. The meet ing was staged under auspices of the Transylvania County Repub lican executive committee, of which Roscoe L. Nicholson is the chairman. Mr. Nicholson presid ed at the meeting. A packed courtroom was on hand to greet the speakers, and applause was given Mr. Newell on several occasions as he touched on questions of interest. Fresh oil on the courtroom floor drew sev eral remarks of an uncomplimen tary or satirical nature. B.Y.P.U. Meeting Set for Sunday Associational district B. Y. P. U. meeting will be held at Carrs Hill Baptist church Sunday afternoon, beginning at 2:30 o’clock.

Gravely; saddle bags carried by the late B. N. Glazener throughout the War Be tween the States; and several quilts and spreads, one of which was handwoven in 1846 by Miss Jane Belton, who later became Mrs. S. W. Reid.

State Highway Commission Makes Definite State ment About Work WILL GIVTmANY MEN NEEDED WORK Contract for completion of tho Rosman-Pickens highway will be let by November 1, according to information received here last week by Chairman 0. L. Erwin of the board of county commis sioners. Work will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible, Chairman E. B. Jeffress of the State Highway commission, stated in the letter. People of Brevard and Transyl vania county have been working for years in an effort to have this important six-mile stretch of high way hard-surfaced. Agreement was made several yeai*s ago with a delegation of South Carolinians that Transylvania county would complete the North Carolina side of the road when and if the Pick ens county officials completed their end of the project. Work in Pickens county has been going forward for several months, grading being now com plete and gravel having been put down preparatory to hard surface treatment. Under the. method that has been used in construction of other roads in this section of the state by the highway commission, only local labor will'be used, thus as suring a number of Transylvania citizens employment when the project is started. Plans are now being laid by Brevard leaders for a fitting cele bration o^, the linking of Pickens and Brevard together with a hard surfaced highway,' this also being a part of the original agreement made - between the two sister .states at the. time agitation was started for the work. Following is a copy of the let ter received by Mr. Erwin from Chairman Jeffress: “September 28, 1932 “Mr. 0. L. Erwin “Chairman Board of Commission ers “Brevard. North Carolina “Dear Sir: ‘I am in receipt of yours of September 20th with reference to the road from Rosman towards Pickens, Soqth Carolina. “I went over the road this past week while I was in the western section to check over certain mi nor changes we propose to make to improve the driving qualities of the road. South Carolina has come to the line with an excellent graded road and we want to meet them, with a similar type of con struction. “We hope to be able to let con tract for this link by November first and assure you we will press it to completion as rapidly as we can. . “Yours very truly, “E.
