Myrtle Brvson. fine Chance to Have Junior College Locate In Brevard ?3* Brevard has a wonderful chane; to bo tlie home of a junior collet'"-' ?f the1! Bcrea type, according to Mr?. J. Vv. Downs, secretary of the Home Oep r'.nvjnt, Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist church, j South, who was in conference here I Monday with leaders in the Mc-tho jdisl church and Miss Daisy Rittei, j superintendent of Brevard Insti tute. | Mrs. Downs officallv confirmed imports that the Woman's Depart ment of the church were perfectly willing and ready to turn over the fine property of Brevard Institute to the Educational Commission of .the Western North Carolina Con ! f erence as a site for the merged 1 1 Weaver-Rutherford Junior College which is seeking a location. Mrs. Downs said that the Bre vard Institute, after more than thirty-five years work, has perform-1 jjed its mission here and that th<- ; ' ladies of the church would spend ! 1 efforts on the Vashti School, locat- : 1 ed in Georgia, closing the local in-' 1 stitution upon completion of the >ummer school term, July 28. ' The property, representing an in-1 vestment of over S200.000, will be of- j fered to the educational commission j ? at its meeting to be held in Xash ? jvillo, Tennessee on May ninth, at' ' which time Bishop Edwin 1). Mouzon ' head of the commission, and other! 'l' "!1":"? of the church will be in con | ference. It is known that several other lo-J ? cations have been offered to the com-i | mission as location for the junior j .'college, among which the present 1 silo of Weaver College, is an out 'standing contender. 1 Parties interested in placing tin school, which will in all probabilit; k? broadened in its scope to care foi 500 or more students, have been hare at work in effort to have the co! iego located at Wcaverville, anc : unless concerted effort is made b; . people of the Brevard section, there is probability that the school will b< I located elsewhere than Brevard. While the fine plant of the Bre ' vard Institute is being offered as ar ; inducement to the commission to lo ! cate the college in Brevard, leader; j in the movement point to the fac! : that it will take more than the $200, 000 investment to bring the college here. The commission must be per suaded that tho people of this sec ' tion really want and need the typ; , school that is to be placed some : where in the realms of the Western ! North Carolina Conference, those closp to the commission aver. Announcement is made that Bishop Mouzon will be in Brevard within a few days to inspect the property offered by Brevard Insti tute, and it is hoped that a lasting impression can be made upon the church leader while he is here to thi effect that Brevard and the sur lounding territory really want th college located at Brevard and tli" it will be appreciated. Members of the Brevard Kiwani club in their meeting Wednesday a noon discussed the proposition ?' length and are now in touch with leaders of the general conference the Methodist church in regard t the matter. (County Accountant Retained ! At Thousand Dollar Salary j Representative M. \V. Galloway jhas amended his original bill relat ing to salaries of Transylvania coun ty officials, the amendment allowing retention of the county accountant's office at a salary of ?1000 per year; ? by changing section 8 of the origin".! i bill relating to janitor for the cm: r, (house and by adding a suffix to /;,c I tion 10 in regard to bonds of county ? officials. In a letter to The Times, Mr. <!al j loway states; "....These am nil Iments are my cwn changes ami n: t i those of Senator Francis. Senate:' , Francis made no suggestion as to {amending my original bill, notwith standing the many 'phone calls, tele grams, letters and petitions received requesting him to do so. I very greatly regretted the neosity to change this bill and continue the of fice of county accountant fur two years, but there being no doubt left, after investigation, of the inability nf the register of deeds to do some j of the things required of the ::o-'iunl [ant I reluctantly made provision for : retention of accountant until Pc.vn. ber ,1934." The amended bill now reads av ; follows (substitute sections having jbeen inserted) : "Section 1. That the office of coun ty Treasurer of Transylvania County is hereby abolished. "Section 2. That the office of Sher iff and tax collector for Transylva nia County be and the same is here by separated and there shall hereaf ?iter be a Sheriff and a tax collector ;for said county both of whom shal ? be elected by the vote of the people Jas other County officers are elected. < "Sec.

A. GLAZENER) Davis Woodfin, member of the Brevard chapter of Future Farmers of America, has proven that corn fed to hens is more profitable than selling' it on the grain market. Davis bige.n his poultry project with 85 White Leghorn hviis and started keeping records on thcro the first day of November. The princi pal objective in this project was to determine the value of feeding corn to hens and selling the egg.- at the prevailing prices. His records re veal the following facts: Number of eggs laid from Novem ber 1st 1932 to April 1st 83 amounted to 4282 and were sold for ?01.30. The price per dozen varied from 10c to 35c, or an average of 22 Vic for the five months. He' used a home mixed ration. The protein supplement used cost him for th? five months $22.00. which subtracted from SG4.30 gives him $42.30 for 40 bushels of corn, the amount fed the liens during the test, or a fraction over SI. 05 per bushel.
