At the annual meeting of the
Brevard Club which took place
in the Club Rooms on Tuesday
evening the following officers
were elected, president, R. R.
Deaver; vice-president, C. M.
Doyle; treasurer, F. D. Cle
ment; secretary, D. L. English.
.The secretary and treasurer
were reelected by a unanimous
vote. J. Mac Allison T. tt. Ship
man, Robert Orr were elected
new members of the Board of
Governors.
Members of the Brevard
Club and other progressive
citizens of the county have
long felt that this section has
been serously handicapped by
lack of any form of continuous
advertisement of its advan
tages. This matter was Ihor-
ughly discussed at the Tuesday
night meeting a*:d T. H. Ship
man v/as appointed to head a
committee for the purpose of
conducting a systematic cam

Editor Brevard News:
It is with interest and plea
sure that I read the News each
week. It comes to me in the
old “State of Robeson” as a
welcome weekly visitor, bring
ing me news of the doings of
my many friends in Transylvan
ia and making m*e glad because
of the good health and success
es of mlany and grieved be
cause of the misfortunes, sick
ness and death of a fev/.
Although at present my
work is^in another county, my
interests are mainly in Tran
sylvania and her future citi-^
zenship, the bright boys and
girls of today v/ho are to be the
doers of the manifold duties of
men and w’omen of the great
tomorrow.
The future progress of our
county as well as our entire
country depends on the equal
ization of the opportunities
provided for all "these boys and
girls of todav, and taken ad
vantage of by them. The girls
of'today will be matcriai fac
tors in helping settle some of
the fcreat prenent day pi’ob-
le ’"s that v/iil nol be coi'Tpleied
within the next quarter cen
tury, because by that time they
will be v/omen, cpjoyin^^ the
same political froedo'i a^'d
sharing the same political re
sponsibilities as the men.
' Soon men and Vvomen of to
day v,'ho are striving to settle
iia'^’e the j^Teatest onporLUiiity
‘‘World War” will iiave per
formed their duties and gone
to their rew^ard, leaving wuth
the com.ing generation the
completion of the readjust
ment of the world. Therefore,
the boys and girls of today
have th egreatest opportunity
to be a force for good that has
ever come to any people. Up
on how they prepare themsel
ves for the tasks before them,
appreciate the opportunities
around them and exercise the
faculties of thinking God has
given them, will depend their
share in the rebuilding of the
world and the glory that is
coming to it.
The boys and girls who are
living in this age can, with
com.parative ease, resist the
temptation to idle and revel;
as this is a day when civiliza
tion has fought its way so far
forward that nothing is impos
sible to one who sets his whole
heart upon its attainment.
As the constitutional amend
ment requiring a six months
school term in every school dis
trict, was overwhelmingly ad
opted by the people of the
state, the best teacher avail
able can be secured for Laurel
Creek as well as for Rosman,
for East Fork as well as for
Penrose, for Pine Grove as well
as for Pisgah Forest, for Old
Toxaway as well as for Selica,
for Cedar Mountain as well as
for Brevard—in other v/ord^
for the smallest and most thin
ly populated district as well asi
for the larger and more dense
ly populated one; thus giving
to the children of every district
equal educational o^ortun*
ities to^ enable them aU to pre
pare for .successfully ineetiQg
the duti^' t of this
wMdlf >1^
As the law provides the
County Board of Health met
and' elected as its assotiate
members for the nex two years
Drs. C. W. Hunt and W. M
Lyday. The then legally con
stituted board elected as the
county physician and quaran
tine officer for the next two
years Dr. W. J. Wallis, his
term of office to begin on Jan
uary 13th inst.
The Board has a meeting
called for the 25th inst. in or
der to attend to some unfinish
ed business.

We wish to request corres
pondents from various sections
of the county to mail their
commurications to the Nevv^s
not later than Monday of each
v/eek. We must insist that the
Vviiters naiiie be signed to all
articles sent in: The name will
not be published except by
special retiuest.
We will be glad to receive
and print items of general in
terest from any one in the
county. \
United States pastas the Smith
bin, providing for Federal aid
for education in the various
states in the Union, every 'dis
trict can have an A-1 teacher
and an eight months school
term every year by means of
funds contributed jointly by
ithe district, the county, the
state and the nation. The fin
ancial co-operation of aU these
civic forces is the ideal plan
of providing for the training of
the future citizenship of our
country.
With an eye single to the in
terests of the children of the
county, I wish to propose for
Transylvania’s adoption, the
following educational creed,
which I clip from “School
Life.”
Educational Creed
1. We believe in education,
because it makes us despise lit
tleness and induces us to en
deavor to be big of mind, gen
erous of soul, and sound of
body.
2. We believe in public ed
ucation, because it best fits one
to live the life of a free man
in a free country.
3. We believe in education
at public expense, because it is
the payment of a just debt that
a citizen owes his State in re
turn for her fostering care to
see to it that the next genera
tion shall be an enlightened
and educated citizenship.
4. We believe in compulsory
attendance upon public schools
because ignorant greed and
selfish arrogance cannot be
counted upon to give to every
boy and girl an equal chance
in life.
5. We telieve in the educa
tion of tlie whole man ^at will
produceya sound body, a broad
gauged mind, uid a generouis
soul-, crowned with life*s fuB^
dameBtaf virtues aild gr»e^^
Best ^ t^ New»

FARM LOAN ASSN.
HOUS HGEUNG
’«r
The annual meeting of the
stockholders of Brevard Na
tional Farm Loan Association
was held. R. H. Zachary was
on Tuesday Jan. 14th. Annual
payments are made Dec. 1st.
This Association has had no de-
lingquents. R. H. Zachary, M.
L. Hamilton, J. P. Deaver, G.
T. Lyday and A. C. Lyday were
elector Directors for the ensue-
ing year.
Immediately after the meet-
irig of the stockholders, meet
ing of the Board of Directors
was heir. R. H. Zachary wes
re-elected president, M. L.
Hamilton vice-president, and
C. K. Osborne secetary-treasur
er.
J. B. Price, G. T. Lyday and
M. L. Hamilton were electcd
members of the Loan Commit
tee, and T. O. Thrash, C. F.
\Vcodfin and J. Coleman Owen
wei'e elected alternates of the
Loan Committee.
This Loan Association is the
local organization of the Fed
eral Land Banks, being under
the Federal Land Bamk of Col
umbia. The local or^ni-ation
has been in existenc%J
tv.'o years, and through'
loans have been placed
gating close to
The Federal Land Banks ien<; '
money^ only for farming i; r-
poses, and on long time--
not less than' five nor i
than forty years. By the I
Bank Act, the interc3t ca
for
H(i
excced six per cent. At the
organization of the Land Bank
Systems, five per cent was ■
charged. Since the United Sta
tes entered the war, the rate
was increased to five and one-
half per cent.
Transylvania farmers could'
easily use to advantage many
times the amount of Federal
Land Bank money they are
now taking advantage of.
