WOMAN'S BUREAU REPORT SHOWS l|
VOLUMEOFWORK ACCOMPLISHED'
At the recent meeting of the
Woman's Bureau held last week, a
summary of the year's work was
read fey (he secretary, which is as
follows:
A summary of the year's efforts
reveals the fact that the Woman's
Bureau is a thriving organization,
striving at all times toward the
goal of a better and more beauti
ful town in which to live.
Outstanding among the accom
plishments of the year was the in
auguration of Brevard's first flower
show which was staged by the Bu
lvau in August, and was pronounced
a decided success in every respect by
the hundreds of people who attend
ed. It is the intention of the Bu
reau to make this an annual event
of tlx* summer season, and thereby
stimulate more interest in flower
culture among Brevard residents,
and at the same time advertise the
town.
A membership drive was the
main achievement of the early part
of the year, when, as result of a
?on'oRt between th<> Green and Blue
teams ,the membership was increased
from 40 to 112, the winning team
being entertained by the losers.
In cooperation with the Chamber
of Commerce, the Bureau sponsored
a clean-up campaign in the spring,
the good results of which were
visible in both the business and res
idential sections, and this organiza
tion has been untiring in its efforts
since that time to make the results
of this annual campaign of more
lasting benefit in the community.
The Bureau pledged financial sup
port during the year to a number
of worthy community requests, in
eluding the Elementary School IN
brary fund, Brevard's two hospitals
on Hospital Day, the High School
cotton day contest, and Christmas
remembrances to inmates of the
county home. In addition, the an
nual prize of a five dollar gold
piece was awarded the owner of
Rosvard Service Station, for show
ing the greatest improvement in at
tractiveness around the filling sta
tion.
In accordance with its original
purpose to cooperate with the city
authorities in upholding everything
for town betterment and beau
titication, the Woman's Bureau
i>?ts conferred, by letter or verbally, j
with the mayor, the board of alder- ;
men and the city police on different j
occasions, offering suggestions for j
improvement along lines of com
munity welfare, or requesting a >
more strict enforcement of certain j
important city ordinances.
Interesting and instructive pro- |
j; tams on various subjects have been j
presented during the year, stressing i
in puticular fldwer culture, lawn j
. i ramification, health and sanitation I
problems, and different phases of |
?tvie welfare as pertaining to this |
community. Prominent speakers
have been heard, among whom were j
J. B. Ivey, of Charlotte and ' Lake |
lunaluska, who gave valuable infor- ,
motion from his expert knowledge !
of dahlia culture; Mrs. W. C. Brown- |
son, of Asheville, giving instructive j
facts from her wide experience in
the culture of small flowers and rock
gardens; Miss Martha Creighton, of |
iho State home economics depart- 1
rnent, who spoke interestingly of '
her work., also several local men ?
and women were heard on different j
subjects during the year.
In addition to these outstanding
projects undertaken by the Bureau
during the past year, others of
minor importance have been put in
to action or endorsed as of benefit
to the community.
Insofar as the policy of the 'Wo
man's Bureau, since its organization
.iust two years ago, has been to up
hold and encourage all things that
tend toward community beautified
tion and civic welfare, and to protest
non-enforcement of city ordinances,
just so does its policy continue, and
even greater and more beneficial re
sults in the life of the community
are expected during the coming
year, on account of the efforts of
this organization.

DUNLOP
CITY
is 3 times
as big as
WASHINGTON, D.C.
DUNLOP CITY
Throughout the world the productive Dun
lop properties cover so vast an area that? if
combined into one place ? they would form
a "Dunlop City" of over 100,000 acres.
WITH all its vast area, Washington, D.C.,
occupies* but 39,680 acres.
Preference for Dunlop Tires has caused Dunlop
to grow so that now, including the greatest of
all Dunlop plants at Buffalo, N. Y., Dunlop
occupies a productive area of over 100,000
acres. Over 22,000,000 Dunlop Tires are now
running. The service that they give is both the
cause and result of Dunlop's magnitude.
Tallyrand said, "There is one person wiser
than Anybody, and that is Everybody." Practi
cally everybody agrees that Dunlop Tires are
best. Put them on your car and prove it to
yourself.

BE HELD AT RALE GH
Bullish, December 13.? Bas.d u.i
he fundamental idea shut in order
<i get better children in the Htatc, ;
vlorth Carolina must educate the
mrents, nine allied institutions and
igencies have joined hands in a
novement towards that end which
>vill gain strength and impetus from
in Institute for Parental Education
to be held in Raleigh on February
1<I, 15, and 1G.
. lie Institute is for the purpose
iif bringing together all the agencies
in North Carolina primarily concern
.'d with problems of ?parental educn
loin in connection with the devel
opment of the child, physically; men
tally, socially and spiritually," >aid
r. K. Hrownc, director of Vocational
(?"ducat ion of the State Department
i.f Public Instruction, who is chair
:Mr. n of the committu in charge of
the Institute.
Represented in the movement are
the following: State Parent Teacher
Association; State College; State
Board of Health; State Department
?f Public Instruction; N. C. Col
lege for Women; East Carolina
Teachers College; University of N.
C. ; State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare and the Federation
of Woman's Clubs. A preliminary,
meeting was held in Raleigh on Oc
tober 20, and a subcommittee was
named to appear before the Gover
nor on November 1!) to obtain his
endorsement of the movement.
Expressing himself as thoroughly
in accord with the proposed Insti
tute, Governor McLean stated to the
committee that he felt that if a
broad program of parental education
should become a definite part of ir.e
plan of education it would be one of
the most worthwhile things that had
taken place in recent years, in his
estimation.
"The carrying to the parents t f
North Carolina of the vast amount
of available information in connec
tion with these problems will no
doubt result in a closer cooperation
bctw-.-en the parents and schools in
forwarding the program of physical
mental, spiritual and social health,"
says Mr. Browne. "This information
may be disseminated most effective
ly through a concerted and united
effort of all forces concerned with
the problem of child development."
The nine institutions and agencies
which have joined forces in the
project are committed to the propo
sition that the influence of the
schools, the church, the community
and other social institutions are
effective only as the parents are in
sympathy with their purposes. Rec
ognizing that there are no influences
so strong and lasting upon the child
bs those of early life, which are
:ontroll?d and dominated by the par
ents, the group is fostering the first
Institute for Parental Education,
emphasizing the responsibility of the
parents and extending to them ev
ery possible advantage through in
formation and study.

WHAT OUR FORESTS
MEAN TO US
(By C. W. WlilTMlRB,
District Forest Warden)
How many of us have stopped to
tJr.nli how important our Nation"' b
Fou-ts are to us? 1 think if more 1
of us would consider the many pleas- 1 ,
ures and prospects for the future i
our home forests bring- us, we would I
do more to prevent forest tires. To
think of it, we could not do without
forests ; they give u> good wood ma
terial for homes and other import
ant things; they make us Itave -vicar
pure water anil in the summer peo
ple from the Southern states come to
th.- mountains for the good breezes
they get, and sometimes they come
for their health.
What would we do without for
ests? Well we know that it is im- ?
possible ? .so if that be th* case, >
let's do more for the protection of
our forests.
Jt takes money to protect tlu'in and
millions of dollars each year have j
been spent on forests all over the
United States.
I can boost for, the Dunn's Rock 1
township, for the interest they are
taking in helping me to protect, the |
loresi. They all seem to realize how ,
important our forests are to us. I'm ;
surprised to sec the children giving so i
much attention to the matter; in our i
schools I have noticed big themes '
being written on the subject. So let s |
continue and do our best to help pro- j
tect the National Forests of Western ;
North Carolina.

nounces that Chevrolet has taken
over the mammoth gray iron foun
dry of the Saginaw Products com
pany at Saginaw, Michigan. The
newest plan acquisition of the Chev- !
rolet Motor company adds a $4,- i
500,000 institution to the company's j
rapidly developing manufacturing ]
operations and provides Chevrolet j
with foundry facilities second to i
none in the industry.
Mr. Knudsen recently completed ,
an inspection tour of Chevrolet j
plants in Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Sag- j
inaW, Buffalo, Tarrytown and j
Bloomfield and points out that th? i
acquisition of the Saginaw plant i
brings Chevrolet manufacturing far ?
cilities to the highest point of com
pleteness and efficiency yet at
tained.
After the first of December the j
Saginaw foundry has been devoted i
exclusively to the pouring of Chev- !
rolet castings. A new conveyor sys- j
tem and other labor saving devices. ,
recently installed, give the plant a j
melting capacity of 800 tons of
metal daily and make it one of the ;
most up-to-date foundries in the ]
world.
