Letters Written To Officials Asking Completion Of Bcylslon Road Effort is being made by a numbs r of citizens of the community to have work on the Bcylston road speeded up, letters having been vrn ten by the Brevard Kiwanis 1 ub members and others to Chvi Mian Jeffreys, Engineer Walker an 1 Com missioner Miller, asking t! eir con sideration of going ahead with the work without writing for the custo mary preliminaries. ' The following letter was said this week by the Brevard KiwanisJ club to the officials named: i Relative to No. 280 from Brevard to Mills River p.t intersection ofj route 191. known locally as Boylstonj Rond, it i< the understanding of the' Brevard Kiwanis Club that this pro ject. was approved for survey several months ago, but as yet nothing has j been done. We appreciate the fact that you have been rushed for other surveys cn Federal programs, but this road is of vital importance to | this community. In order to speed the construe-' tion. we wonder if you could not1 start this work with state forces un der direction of local engineers, and work out survey quantities and es timates as the work proceeds. There by giving additional work to un employed in our county and saving what work has already been done. We fear that if we wait for n complete survey and plans followed by competitive bids, the delay will be fatal. We would greatly appreciate any steps you can take to got this pro ject started.

Gets Prohibition Job j • ■ '■ • -1 T E. PATTON, Jr. ALL SCHOOLS CLOSE ON THURSDAY P. M. All schools of the county will el. so on Thursday afternoon of this v, ek, resuming work on Monday morning, January first, according t ar,nouncement by the board of edu crtion. Several teachers and numerou pupils in various schools of th c unty are understood to be asking] hr an extension of the Holiday' season for another week, but this i' r.-t expected. Reason for the extended holiday, ;ca! n is so that teachers who live in • 'her sections may have ample tin-<. to visit their homes, while pu pils in several instances would like to take trips or plan other extended holiday enjoyment. However, there are others who assert that high school pupils many of them, ar? needed or. the farm as early in the spring as possible, and that exten sion of the holidays would be ex pensive to many of the fanners.

All ex-service men who had regis tered with the re-employment of t ic . pricr to December first were given work last week by the Civil Works administration, according to W. A. Wilson, director. Thirty-four people who had bee.'ii employed by the local administra tior. were laid off in order to give the men places. Mr WilsonJKsaid, these people having been hired under the assumption that they would not count against the 219 quota for this county. It seems that two projects were already going as relief office jobs when the new set-up was put into ef fect the last of November, and fir*', instructions were to the effect that; such workers would not count | against the CWA quota of 219. How-' ever, a later ruiling was made from t the Raleigh office to the effect that; such workers were counted in th.. quota. In the meantime the full 21 •. worners had been placed at work, the. allotment of 109 by the relief office in addition to the 34 already at work, this cutting into the allotment made to the re-employment office. State directors here last weet^ issued orders for the workers em ployed by the relief office over ant! | above the 109 allotment be laid off j in order that the re-employment of-* fice could have its full quota of ll(.i Preference- was given ex-service me in the placement, this also being un-< on orders from the Raleigh office. | Several other counties, according ■ to the officials here last week. hav.J made the same mistakes, the Raleigh office being partly to blame for the mixup in quotas for the two of fices which are separate and dis tinct. It is expected that several of the workers laid off last week will he placed back to work soon. BOYS GATHERING TOYS FOR NEEDY CHILDREN Members of R. p. Tharp’s Sunday School clas* of'the Presbyterian church, and Boy Scouts of troop one have been busily engaged in col lecting and repairing toys for the| past several weeks, and now have a goodly number of such articles j in the Tharp Plumbing shop.
