G. Frowning, senior locating en gineer of the State Highway and Public Works Commission together with National Forest officials and P. L Threlkeld, in charge of main-j ten&nce in this district went over; the several possible routes for loca-j tion of 284 I Engineer Browning stated that, hcaiing engineers would be placed on the 284 job immediately, cstub-! lishing location of this important route, and in all probability the route to be decided upon will be the: Bonnet’s Gap route now in use. Fcllowirg completion of the survey on 284, Mr Browning said the same engineering crew would be placed on No. 280, known as the Boylston load, for relocation of this route. Mr. Threlkeld, together with a number cf interested citizens of the community, have been working for months to get started on the Pis-; gah Mountain road and the news' that actual work is to start immed-] iately will be received with glad-; ness here. I Construction of the two highways, [ and more particularly the Pisgah i road, is expected to be gotten under i way within the very near future, M.t A. Mnttoon, forest supervisor to I draw plans for this and other work} that is expected to employ around] 1800 men. Local labor will be used] in the work, according to statement i made last week by T.

CHEAP ELECTION IS HELD IN NOVEMBER Transylvania county’s cheapest election in years and years was held! here on November 7th, the wet-dry j contest held here costing o n 1 y i $533.50. This amount includes all costs in connection with the election sup-[ plies, ballots, pay for registrars,' judges and other workers. j It is pointed out by Chairman [ Ralph Lyday that a great saving was made in registration, books on ly being open two days, and that the number of officials at the polling' places were less than usual. Howev-I er, conservative estimates had placed i the cost at around $800 or $1000, and the remarkably low figure turn-i ed in by Mr. Lyday bespeaks of his | watching closely every penny. ROLL CALL PASSES ONE HUNDRED MARKj Believed That 200 Will be Enrolled In County By I End of Week Jerry Jerome, chairman of the) Red Cross Roll Call, is elated over] the fine response given by citizens I of the community to the work this year, 104 memberships reported on Tuesday with still a large number cf canvassers to be heard from. Four firms in Brevard have reg istered one hundred percent, Free man Hayes Service Station, Brevard Insurance Agency, Carl McCrary Filling station, and the Transylvania Trust company. Effort is being madd to have at least six “one hundred per cent” firms employing two or more. Goal for 1934 is set at 200, andi Chairman Jerome is of the belief that this quota will be reached. Ten em ployees of the Transylvania Tan ning company have already pledged with several others promising during the week. Nine from the Gloucester Lumber company at Rosman swelled the tide and still more promised there. All teachers are expected to report within the next few days, the 104 memberships reported not em bracing the teacher load that is al ways fine. Reason for the fine response is • due in great way to the work that has been done in the county during the past year by the national or ganization, nearly ten thousand dol lars in food and clothing having been distributed through the agency, according to estimate of Jos. S. Silversteen, chairman of the Tran sylvania chapter. “We have already surpassed nor mal memberships,” Mr. Jerome said Tuesday afternoon, “but want to stop only after we have passed the two hundred mark.” The roll call will continue at least through this week, with all canvassers expect ed to report by Thanksgiving day.
