KIWANIS CLUB IN
INTERESTING MEET
? ??????
Rev. J. H. West, program chairman,
planned a meeting for the- Kiwanis
club last Thursday which held the
keenest interest of the members of
the club, all of whom wefe present
except two, and these were , out of
town. "Business Ethics" w?s the sub
ject of the meeting, and speaking with
the program chairman were R. P.
Tharp and Dr. Chas. L. Newland.
An Interesting event of the meet
ing was endorsement of a resolution
protesting the enactment of the
Buncombe County horse and dog rac
ing bill. This' action of the club was
immediately wired to Senator E. L.
McKfee, at Raleigh, who led the tight
in the upper house against the bill.
Frank D. Clement, often mentioned
in connection with the race for mayor
in Btevard in the coming primary
and election, made request that the
club -members discourage such talk as
much as possible, on account of the
fact that he could not, under any cir
cumstances, enter the race for mayor.
THARP'S APPEAL
R. F. Tharp made a strong pleu to
the club members to work in closer
h.-ii-r. i'iiy an citizens of the town, de
claring that harmonious action and a
fair spirit of real co-operation would
be beneficial to the town and to the
individual citizens. Kiwanis is a group
of men supposed to be working to
gether, he said, and before men can
v u Ihcr they must get to
gether. To be a friend to other men,
a man first prepares his own heart
for the high office of friendship. To
bo friendly, Mr. Tharp said, .one
r ' ii'*. and be cheerful, and let
the other man know that you are his
V handclasp is worth much,
and costs nothing, and the speaker
urgui a more general handshaking.
One man cannot do great harm to an
other man whose hand he often
.sh.-kt s, he said.
Mr. Tharp urged the members to
Intl. timi off once in a while
and visit other fellows in their office
or place of business, and have friendly
chats with one another. Jn this way
the little things that creep into com
I'siti' i:f" in be discussed, threshed
out, and much hard feelings eliminat
ed. And then .continued Mr. Tharp,
when we see n fellow down and out,
or down in the dumps, go to him and
cheer him up. It will not only help
the man him.-elf, but will be ji bless
ing the oho doing such noble and
friendly acts.
Oil. SEW LAS D HEARD
D;-. Charles L. Newland spoke on
the i :vit mpie that members of the Ki
wanis club should set to the citizens
of tiu' community. This depression
now existing ought to be a great les
son to all citizens, the physician said,
and when times begin to improve, all
citizei ? ought to begin laying plans
of preparation to avert another such
time occurring. There should be
more determined spirit among all citi
zen 1 ? lay aside a portion of their
earnings to use in times of dull or
slm i; business, lie stressed the im
portance of saving, and the planning
and building, and urged the club
members to work together for the
good of all the town.
Rev. J. II. West delivered a most ef
fective address on "Community Eth
ics. ' which follows:
Obligations of Citizenship
One of the greatest men that ever
lived was bold to declare that he was
a debtor. It takes a brave man to
openly declare that. Now his mean
ing is that he owed somebody, lie
nn ant that as a citizen ho was under
obligation, since he was a debtor, to
meet the responsibility squarely.
He meant that he was in debt to
the civilized, and uncivilized, to the
wise and to the unwise. The man that
said that had a vision of world citi
zenship. We are living in ah age
when very man should feel that he
is a world citizen. 1'ut you cannot be
a woi .! n'izen without being a com
munity citizen. The man that tries
to lie world citizen without being
a community citizen is a community
liability.
This world citizenship applied to
life in its various relationships is the
vital thing needed to meet the perils
of modern civilization. If all the com
munities in the world were good com
munities, this would be the best
world the world has ever seen. One
of the major troubles in every com
munity, is divided community inter
ests. This is mighty bad ethics, so
bad that it is utterly impossible
wiie this division exists to have a
constructive program. It is so unethi
cal that no community can be prosper
ous while such condition exists. You
can't run a bank, a mill, a store or
any commercial industry or civic or
ganization. You can't run a home, a
church, a school on a code of ethics
like this.
The test of community ethics is
community harmony, community good
will, mutual helpfulness.
Now we may not be willing to ac
knowledge it, but the denial of it
would not change the stubborn fact ?
and the fact is this-that every one of
us with every citizen of this town is
a debtor, we are under obligation, we
owe somebody, in i'act we owe every
body. We may not owe everybody 1
money, but we do owe everybody some-,
thing that is more valuable than
money. Hffiijfl
First? We owe every organization
in town that deserves to live and
prosper our cooperation. Every man 1
and organization in Brevard and
and Transylvania county, that is an
asset to the county and town, deserves
our sympathetic coope ration, and wo
are very poor citizens if we withhold
this, cooperation.
Second ? There is another thing
that Community Ethics demands of 1
its citizens, and it is also a debt, and !
a debt poorly paid. We don't love ,
folks just like we want them to love
us. Here is the philosophy of what I j
mean. in a nutshell: One big family!
writing another big family after the I
following order- "Dear folT??, It you
and your folks love mc and lr.y folks i
like m< and my folks love you and
your folks there never were folks that

Oakland News Items |
We arc sorry we failed to get tht
Oakland News items in last week foi
there were several things that somt
of our friends would have been in
terested in. At the time we shoulc:
have written we were with a very
dear friend at thy Sylva Hospital
We are sorry to report that he has

that hryipen none could be sadden
than this untimely death. 1 he oeat..
(,i Wyley Galloway is too terrible
VVyley had had some of his friends
spending the day in his home, who lcil
just a few hours before the blow wa:
struck which caused his death. I hi
man who committed the crime is now
in jail awaiting trial, leaving broken
hearted parents and many friends or
both sides. Just trace such tragedies
to their foundation and you most al
ways find the blockader and bootleg

Charity is the very essence of eth

place in our lives. It covers a multi

ROSMAN GROUP IN
GREAT MpiNC
. (C lax ton Henderson, Reporter)
The Bosnian Y. T. H. F..gave one of
the most enjoyable and instructive
programs in chapel Friday .March
20 that has been given this year. Ev
ery Friday morning some class in
school entertains by having chargc
<rf the chapel program. The Y. T. H.
F. changed the routine by giving a
debate. The query was: "Resolvec
that Vocational Agriculture is a more>
useful Course 'of Study for High
School Boys to take than Foreign
Language." Ralph Galloway* and
Claxton Henderson represented the
affirmative and Ral^Ji Burt and Rob
ert Gravely the negative. Paul Whit
mire was acting president and E. J
Wllitmire secretary. Judges were'
Miss Jameson, Mr. Moore and Mr.
Cline.
I The boys had prepared their debate
well and considerable interest wa:
manifested in the subject. While lis
tening to the speeches, one's mind
could not keep from going back t
last fall during the campaign when
similar heated discussions were held
around over the country. The speak
ers were frequently interrupted and
the trueness of tehir statements ques
tioned by their opponent, and it v. a
only by President. Paul Whitmire's
constant use of the gavel that order
was maintained. The judges had
very hard iime deciding which sidv.
won the debate, yet while listening to
i some special music rendered by th.
boys' Junior Glee Club, they finally
decided in favor of the affirmative.
The Y. T. H. F. are very busy now
assembling facts and writing up the
practices they are going to carry oil!
in their farm projects this year. Th
new system of potato culture is bein;:
? given consideration, though they real
ize that it will take several years ;
get any real results, since the prepar
ation of the soil is the first essentia!
which requires years of work and
study.

GARDNER OPPOSED
TO SALES TAX IN ANY
FORM WHATEVER
(Continued from page one)
MacLean bill itself does not purport
to take all off property, even for the"
constitutional term of public schools.
Based on last year's expenditures, it
would be necessary to ?levy for the
total support of the six months term
an average rate of nearly 25 cents in
every county, after receiving the full
benefit of the revenue provided to
carry out the MacLean bill. To meet
the total cost of current expense
alond, it would be necessary to levy
an additional rate in many counties.
This phase of this problem is not
generally understood by the public.
It should be clearly understood by
each of you "
"1 have a definite philosophy about
the needs of Norfh Carolina, and ev
' ery recommendation I made to you
and every bill presented by me for
your consideration was motivated by
only one definite purpose; namely,
economy, efficiency and tax reduction
on property. I have not pressed a
single measure before you th,-. did
not have a terminal ih th object
ive. .' "
"If for this we can substitute the
psychology of patience together with
real economy and real saying; if we
can as governments and as individu
als become willing to live on l"ss. to
live hard if you will; if v.r e:.:i raise
more of the consumption ? ? ? < '.hat
we now purchase; if we can do more
work, economize, cut hep and cut
there, we will emerge fr i ?
iod a chastened but a miuering
people "
"You may differ with me, and I
knew some of you will; V' -i may
doubt the wisdom of my r <? mmenda
1 tion, and some of you vi'i: y?u may
question my leadership, an 1 Tr.any of
you may; but you cannot in ! \:th say
