President Coltrane Outlines Plans For Operation of Brevard College 'Efy J. Dale Stentz) Brevard Kiwanians were treated to a front seat Wednesday on the first day of the presence in our midst of, Kugcns J. Coltrane, president of Bre vard College, Inc. l’rcsidem. Coltrane drove into Bre vard Tuesday night about 10:30 and' went directly to the home of Rev. J. II West at the Methodist parson age. Mrs. Coltrane came with him and we venture the assertion that she is no -mail part of the fine combina tion. He was roused out early Wednes day by the great moving van which brought- hi- household goods which are now safely placed in the presi dent s home at Brevard College. At the noon hour President Col trane was the guest of honor at Kivvauis where he was introduced briefly by the Rev. J. H. West We make no attempt t<> give Presi dent Coltrane’s address but would !>ke to pass on some of the high lights, as it were, that concern the opening and the policy of our new col lege Aftai traveling in some cbirty-fivo states wt were told that one had to get away before he could really ap preciate the beauties and the assets of our native state. Mr. Coltrane being a native Tar Heel, called our attention to our g*-eat road system which he believes is second to none, our great natural endowment of woods, hills and streams, but greater than any or all of these is the nativa ability of the great people who make up this grand old North State. President Coltrane stated^ to us thai he hoped that Brevard College would serve to help in the training of the fine young people of this and oth< r sections so that they may be able to really take advantage of and use the great natural resources with which this state is so richly endowed. You will be especially interested in the general outline of the policy of this institution which is destined to have a great influence on the lives of the young people of this section. There are already not less than 12 Junior Colleges in North Carolina that are doing fine work but there is room for another of the type that Brevard College is destined to be. President Coltrane said that he did not exncct to make this the best Junior College hut certainly to make it as good as any other and who knows but that in tbc -future this school may become a full fledged four-year institution. For the present, the Kiwanians were informed, the plan contemplate1-' two years of real junior college work which will be similar to the freshman and sophomore years in our regular universities. Students who have four years’ credits in an accredited high I school will be eligible for entrance. ; The faculty will be ’selected from ■ men and women who have the proper i educational background and from those who have a reai interest in a development of the kind of an insti tution that the president has in mind, not just instructors, but real teach ers. The expenses will be kept at a minimum and some opportunity will b»> offered to deserving students who wish to work out at least a portion of the costs necessary to attendance. When students graduate from Bre vard College it is expected that they (Continued on back page) Hamilton Selected By Republicans For Post of County Representative Arthur Hamilton, school teacher and business man of the Little River section, was nominated here last Sat urday afternoon by the county Re publican convention for representa tive in the legislature.

Several years have passed and Ned Blake is still in love with Nan. He becomes suspicious of Hortense’s actions in regard to Indian Jim now in the penitentiary and starts an in vestigation. Nan has come to spend Christmas with Mr. Enlow where she again sees Ichabod and Moll Buzzer whom Ned has sent for to clear up the mystery. Hortense has secretly married the Englishman who takes her away? just as Nan is being adopt ed in the eyes of the world by Mr. Enlow. The cast <T characters follows: Hon.
