F. W. Post Urges 12 Point Program Calls on All Veterans to Rally to Standard lor Protection A twelve point program, de signed to reflect the aims and purposes of the Veterans of For eign Wars of the U. S. was dorsed by members of Pisgah post No. 2428 at the regular meeting held Tuesday night of last week at the courthouse. The 1932-33 membership c paign is being launched at the present time on the basis of this twelve point program and veter ans in general are being asked to rally to the standards of the V, ~ W. as a means of counter-acting the activities of existing anti-vet eran influences. “We believe that this program meets with the general approval of the public at large, as well all ex-service men,” declares Com mander Woodfin. “The welfare of all veterans, and especially those who are disabled, is being endan gered by propaganda and un founded charges that emanate from sources that have opposed eve^ piece of veteran legislation already enacted. It behooves ev ery veteran to subscribe to this program for his -own protection, for the future welfare of his de pendents and the care of his dis abled comrad.es.” The twelve point program that will inspire the activities of mem bers of post No, 2428 as well as the national oj’ganization itself during the coming year, reads as follows: 1. Pensions for widows and or phans of World war veterans. 2. Adequate hospitalization for all disabled veterans of all wars. 3. Preservation of the World War Disability Allowance act. 4. Immediate cash payment of adjusted service certificates as a source of unemployment and economic relief to the nation as a whole. 5. Preservation of existing pen sion laws for Civil and Spanish- American war veterans. 6. Civil service preference for veterans—in fact as well as in theory. 7. Opposition to pauper clause in veteran legislation. 8. Passage of Philippine Veter ans Travel Pay bill. 9. An adequate national de fense. 10. Deportation of aliens con victed as criminals. 11. Denial of citizenship to those who refuse to subscribe to the oath of allegiance. 12. Firm adherence to Ameri ca’s form of government, its ideals, institutions and traditions.

Minimum of Fifty Cents Per Cow for Grade “A” Rating Fee LOW GRAD^ERMIT SET AT 25C MONTH Laboratory Will Be Oper ated by Town of Bre vard for Testing After many weeks of consider ation the board of aldermen in a special meeting held last Friday afternoon adopted amendments to the milk ordinance passed tv/o years ago which provide for the issuing of permits and fixing the monthly fees for milk inspec tion. Schedule as adopted by the of ficials, calls for inspection charge of 25 cents per cow per month for producers and distributors of grade “D” milk, and 50 cents per cow per month for producers and distributors of grade “A” milk up to and including 15 cows. Over 15 cows a flat charge will be made of $8.33 per month for the herd. Requirements of the state law and ordinance make it mandatory for tuberculin test to be made of all cows from which milk is to be sold and distributed by the owner of such cow or cows, a permit to be secured from the town, and an inspection fee of 25 cents per month to be paid for grade “D” milk. In cases of delivery it is also set out in the ordinance that all milk delivered shall be capped and labeled, showing name of firm or individual as the produc er, and shall be delivered in standard measure containers. Certain other minimum require ments are necessary in order to be in the “D” grade class, such as cleanliness and maximum bac teria count of not over 5,000,- 000. Howeyer the ordinance does not prohibit producers from sell ing their milk on the premises, that is persons so wishing may go to the home or farm of milk pro ducer and procure milk in such containers as they desire, and the product of milk for sale in this manner is not required to meet any provision of the ordinance.

Henderson Asks People^s Ideas Wants Expressions From Citizens of County in Tax Matter Request is made by W, B. Hen derson, county commissioner, that people of the county express their views through The Times in legard to tax problems now con fronting the people of this coun ty. A letter from Mr. Henderson follows: “To the Taxpayers of Tran sylvania County: “In regard to the article I had in The Transylvania Times on the 17th inst. I have heard som.e favorable and .some ad verse criticism. This is exactly what I expected. I do not claim that the theories advanc ed are perfect. Many of them may not be feasible. “My object in writing this letter to Mr. Galloway was to start agitation through The Times in regard to the finan cial conditio-n of the county, thinking someone in the county might have an idea or plan that will help to solve our tax problem. “I think before the legisla ture meets, Mr. Galloway ought to have the views of all the leading citizens of the county regardless of politics. Some of the leading Republicans, if they are true citizens of the county, are just as apt to have an idea that our representative- elect ought to know as any member of the Dem.ocratic party. “All the true men of both parties are vitally interested in the welfare of the county, and should discuss freely the per plexing problems with which We have to deal. “Yours respectfully, “W.

TEXT BOOKS TO BE TALKED AT KIW MEET People of State Unable to Bear Burden of Geog raphy Change NEW BOOi^OULD COST NEAR $300,000 Hickory Kiwanis Club Is Taking Active Lead in State-wide Fight A matter of general interest that will be presented at the Thursday meeting of the Brevard Kiwanis club will be the offer-, ing of a resolution for endorse ment against proposed change of geography textbooks in North Carolina. Official action was taken on the matter by the Hickory Ki- wanis club on Nov. 15, and a copy of this resolution has been sent to all civic clubs in the state in an endeavor to have the books now in use retained. The following points are of fered by the Hickory Kiwanis club as reasons for opposing the adpotion of any new textbooks at this time; 1. Approximately 250,000 chil dren in North Carolina would be forced to purchase new books at a cost conservatively estimated at $300,000. 2. The geography books now being used, according to reports in the press, may be secured at greatly reduced prices, if con tinued in use. In addition to this, a supplement containing 1930 cen sus material will be furnished free to every child in the state who is studying geography, pro vided the present book is retained. 3. If any new book is adopted at this time, it means that thou sands of second hand books will be discarded at a great financial loss. 4. At the present time many pupils in this state are only par tially supplied with books. If any new books are adopted at this time, it means that thousands of children will have no books for next year. Teachers will be forced to furnish all the material instead of merely furnishing a few facts concerning the so-called “highly, important census information on the Dominion of Canada,” and dates of the expeditions of Peary and Amundsen. 5. The reasons given for chang ing geographies at this time is that geographical facts have greatly changed within the last ten years. Arithmetic hooks have also been changed recently, but arithmetical facts have not been undergoing any recent changes.
