Street car traffic Cross nurse and was in France dur- was blocked for hours on Friday and ing the late war, is making her head- many automobiles declined to “navi gate.” People walked with difficulty to their work and down town cafes reaped a harvest during luncheon hour on account of the interruption in street car and jitney traffic. From sixteen to twenty-four inches of snow was reported farther east and Win ston-Salem on the west cojnplains of the heaviest snow since 1899. Tem perature in Raleigh did not f^l below 18, but the unexpected change drove everybody to cover except those who were of necessity compelled to face the storm on missions of business or relief. No fatalities have been reported and the “Raleigh poor” has little cause for complaint. Bad weather for the past week has quarters at the Institute and will be engaged in community nursing. Miss May Crary was a dinner guest of Miss Pike last Thursday night. Ivey Shuford, our mail carrier, who had a violent attack of pleurisy Saturday night, is better and will probably soon be out again. Misses Annie Zachary and Lucile Hubbard spent the week end with their parents. MEMORY OF JOSEPH E. DUCK- WORTHt “Green grow the sod above thee, Friend of my early days.

Mr. Fred Harris has recently been elected superintendent; Mr. Hinton McLeod, asst-superintendent; and Mrs. A. N. Jenkins, organist. There is a splendid corps of teachers. Mr. McLeod’s class of older boys is one of the new and promising features.

The scTiool holds its opening ex ercises in the new Hut and then the older classes go to their place in the church, leaving the Hut entirely to the Primary Department. Recently the cabinet of the S. School held a very enjoyaWe liusiness and social meeting in the Hut. This is to be ^ ^ a monthly event. During last week Mrs. E. W. Blytlie and Mrs. C. P. White gave a joint social at the Hut to their classes of younger boys. Mr. John "White was present and presided over the games of the youngsters. NEW ENTRANCE GATE TO BRE VARD INSTITUTE. The Ford factory and asseml)ly | plant production figures reached a j total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and j tractors for the year, with retail sales ! by dealers approximating 1,095,000,1 wliich in the United States alone sur- \ passed the 1920 retail sales Tecord by 104.213 Ford cars and trucks. The Ford Company says the vut- loolc for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In fact, concrete evidences already in that car and truck retail sales for December 1921 exceeded December 1920 sales by almost 25 per cent, and Fordson tractor retail sales for the same periods show sin increapc of over 100 per cent for December 1921, as well as an in crease over the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that not only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public TThe passing of “Uncle Joe” Duck worth removes one of the most widely^ known and highly beloved private cit ^zens the good county of Transylvan ia has produced in a generation. He remained a private citizen through a long, honorable, fruitful life because public office did not appeal to him. He was always too busy administering to the needs of his family and advanc ing the interests of friends to seek honors for himself. Finally, his lab ors in this life over and his work well done, he answered the call of the Mas ter, and as gently as the leaf falls on an autum day, closed his eyes in sleep, to awake to the glories of the life beyond. We shall never again experience the touch of that friendly hand, or enjoy the genial fellowship that was his to give. Let those of us who have been the happy recipients of his numberless deeds of kindness pause at memory’s altar with a flower of love and affection for this beloved friend, mingle our tears with those of the bereaved family and friends and recall, with them, the virtues of the departed. Joseph E. Duckworth was a man of industry and sterling integrity; one v.'ho did not live unto himself alone, but a man who found pleasure in en couraging those around him to brav ely face the storms of life and not be come despondent in the hour of trial and disappointment. My acquaint ance with Mr. Duckworth covers r period of years extending from early childhood, and I have long considered him one of the finest types -of true citizenship. He was generous, like able, loyal, ever watchful of the good deeds recorded of others and never faltering in his devotion to the best interests of his state and society in general, strong convictions and Ac courage to assert them. Unswerving loyalty, devotion to family and friends and the inflexible purpose to act well his part in all the relations of life were predominemt amongst the num erous admirable traits of cliaracter noted in his long and successful car eer as the prince of good fellows. One by one the stars go out! One by one the pioneers of our civiliza tion are crossing the river 1 With sor row we 'UTite their names on memor y’s crowded page. To tlie l3ereaved family and a wide circle of admiring friends, the life of *TIncle Joe"” Duck worth is a benedi-ction and his death like the descending sun at evening time leaving the skies rosy with the radiance of hope. The loss to those who survive is gain to the innumer able host of the true and the good be yond this vale of tears. Raleig^, January 30 1922. M. L. SHIPMAN. CONSTITUTION —of the— Brevard Associated Charities FIRST SNOW FALL THE CAUSE OF PAINFUL INJURY-. % A very impressive and unique en trance gateway has recently been . , erected at the junction of the in-;>= becoming more responsive and re- stitute Avenue with R. R. Street, con I On last Friday night a crowd of young folks were tobogganing on Cooper’s hill and John White, son of Mr. and Mrs. 6. P. White, suffered a very painful injury. John ran into a bob wire fence cutting his forehead from eye to crown, a deep gash. It required ten stiches to sew up the wound. John is again going school and is apparently as well as usual. .lift sisting of a central opening flanked with tall massive pillars bearing on their capitals electric lanterns and on their fronts bronze plates bearing the school name and that of the society which donated the gateway. These pillars are supported by buttresses which curve down to smaller pillars on either side which flank the two smaller openings on the sidewalks. This work is all of our native cob blestone and is considered one of the best specimens of that art in the county. The stones have been care fully selected as to shape and artis tic effect, the joints partly recessed and the whole cleaned down with acid. f> ATTENTION I. O. O. F. The State Degree Team will be in Hendersonville sometime in April and request that Connestee Lodge meet with them and furnish candidates. A banquet will be one of the feat ures. All local Oddfellows are asked to see A. E. Hampton for further par ticulars. Another point brought out by a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford enclosed cars are gaining in popular ity, as 23 per cent of the 1921 pro duction were Sedans and Coupes as against a total of 18 per cent for the year previous. Recent reductions in Ford car and truck prices brought them to a new low level. The Touring car now sells for $348, the Runa^ut for $319 the Coupe for $580, the Sedan for $645, the Chasis for $285, and the Truck for $430, all F. 0. B. Detroit. This is the fourth price cut in the past sixteen months. During that time the price of the Touring Car alone has been cut from $575 to $348, a reduction of 40 per cent. Re ductions on some of the other types have been even greater. The Ford Company believes that this reduction, while not a.large one, is especially important at this time, as it should go a long way toward stabilizing market conditions. Ford is giving emplo^ent at pre sent to approximately 4t>,000 men in CITY MARKET CHANGES BUILD INGS: The city market has been moved from the King building arcoss the street into the frame building be tween Clement’s Jewelry Store and Plummer & Trantham’s Department Store. S. F. Allison, proprietor, believes the new quarters will give better sat isfaction^n every way as there are no steps to climb and the building better situated for the su’i’s penetration. A large supply of stsiple and fancy groc eries and foreign and domestic fresh and cured meats has also been added to the already large stock on hand. THE BREVARD NEWS IS ONLY $1.50 PER YEAR.

NEW OFFICERS IN THE PRESBY TERIAN CHURCH: On Wednesday night, January 18, the members of the Presbyterian Church gave a reception to their new ly elected officers in the Hut; it was largely attended and much enjoyed.

Mitchell has appointed tlw following ladies of Brevard as a com mittee to canvass Brevard fot funds to relieve the starving Jewish people of Europe: Mrs. Z. W. Nichols, Mrs. Welch Gal loway, Mrs.'David Ward, Mrs. S. C. Yates, Mrs. Ernest Norwood, Mrs. J. S. Silversteen and Mrs. J. W. Smith. He has suggested that the ladies call a meeting and make their own plans, etc., at an early date. The news that comes from Europe of the destitution of hundreds of thousands of Jewish people must sad den eveery warm-hearted man and womau in Transylvania. The fact that there are 400,000 Jewish refu gees riven from their homes by star vation and murderous raids is an ap peal to the generous instincts of our people, which they must and will heed. America gave its best blood and of its wealth not only in the war, but to feed starving Belgians and Armen ians and Chinesee and other destitute peoples. Until stability and order are restored' America will continue to make sacrifices to save children from extermination. In every movement for helping the suffering men of all creeds and races, our Jewish fellow-citizens have vied with alV other Americans in sacrifice and service. I am sure that the ap peal to be made during the week be ginning; February 6th for the Jews in devastated Europe wnll be respond ed to not only by men and women of their own race but by all Tratnsyivafi^ ians, whose hearts are touched with pity for suffering peoples. Any donations may be left with T. M. Mitchell, at his grocery store. WOODROW WILSON FOUNDA TION The Bee Hive Barber Shop will move into the King building formerly occupied by the City Market.
