THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter .James t\ Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advance) One. Year S2.00 6.x .Months '. 1.00 Tli ret.' Months 60 Thursday, April 23, 1931 YE DID IT UNTO THE hK AST UF THESE Many people have been heard to ask the question: : What good is the Kiwanis club? What has it ever done?" U i- a very natural question for tlu iv.f.n io ask who knows nothing ahouL i.v activities of the club. The member? meet at stated intervals, lunch together, try to sing songs, and do "ir.uch talking and laughing. This is most beneficial to the members, as w. I as being most enjoyable. It is i:. - outward show, or display, that . urn on the outside sees and hears, it i in thinks there is but little to it. t's see what else the Kiwanis cUu) has done. i'hree boys and a girl were suffer ing . inm weak eyes. The committee on underprivileged children was noti fied f lie four cases. The young sters. i, . iiig members of families not financially able to obtain proper treatment for them, were taken in hand by the Kiwanis club. They were taken to a specialist, who examined ami treated their eyes. Then glasses were purchased for the four children. The physician said that three of the four would have lost their sight, and the other would have been forced to quit school, had they not received at tention just now. If three boys grown into manhood with sight restored and school work completed is better for the community than three blind men, then the Ki wanis dub is doing something more than eating and trying to sing "America," "Working on the Rail road,'' "The Old Gray Mare," and oth er none too classical numbers. If sav ing the sight of a little girl means anything, then the kiwanis club means something to this community. These. are instances of what the club is .trying to do. Its membership may not be much on music, but its soul is attuned to the cry of the distressed, and is trying to teach its members tn so iive that they may with joy hear tin Master say someday: "As ye did it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto me." CI1AXCES FOR A BAUD THIS SI MMER AUK XOT SO GOOD. Oik- of the great penalties that this (.immunity must pay as a result i f prevailing conditions, is that of having uo band to play during the summer season. The municipal band, which has made music for visitors and homefOlk during the past several seasons, has added r.v.ich to the com munity, not only in l ie way of en joyment, but also in . -king business1 better. The municipa o.\nd has been a great drawing card .r Brevard, in its efforts to attract i .rists to the community. With the town arid e unty funds tied up, there is no earthiy chance of having the band play this summer, u.i less some way is found to provide the necessary funds. The band lead er. Prof. F. J. Cutter, has all but contributed his services in the past, drawing only a nominal sum for his work. The boys who have played in the band, have done so absolutely without charge to the town or county. If it would not be asking too much of the boys, The Brevard News be lieves that a minstrel, staged by Phil Price, Dr. Hardin, Ginnie Wood, and a few others who are natural actors, would bring in an amount of money sufficient to bear expenses of the band for at least two months. These young men have already contributed much of their time and talent to the public good of the community, and it is with some hesitation that we sug- . gesr this added work. But the band means so much to Brevard and Transylvania county during the summer season that we are willing to make suggestion which does add extra work upon those who have al ready worked well. Suppose this matter is gone into a littls further. ? : |' Charlotte is having a helluvatime _ with a negro who has announced for ' a place on the city board, on the j i Communist ticket. The election board ' ! says it is helpless in the matter, and , must tile this negro's name and place same on the offic:al ballot. What do 1 you bay about THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK Editor The Brevard News: First we want to thank ajid sound a high note of praise to Mr. Barrett for the Sunday School lesson in the paper. t Dvlieve in Sunday School more than the Church because it is there that the child is first instructed in the Bible and taught to value the ex ample laid down in the Book of Bcoks. I know of no agency that has done more to build up God-fearing citizens than the Sunday School. ! Having been attendant as far back as memory reaches, I do not hesitate to say that the great benefits of this re ligious training can hardly be esti mated. I am for the Sunday School. 1 he great ex-President, Calvin Coolidge, said: "The Sunday Schools itiniish a great agency by which piritual ideals are made a part of 'he life of the younger generation of .lie people of the United States. ? There never was a time in history >f American civilization when the work of the Sunday School was more necessary than it is at this moment. 1 shall never forget the good I re ceived from Sunday School. Not only arc its memories very precious, but Umj knowledge of the Bible and the religious instruction received there can never be forgotten. For four years, as superintendent of the Sunday School at Zien church, when in the early days of Rosman, the lessons learned, the blessings earned, shall never be for gotten. Judge Lewis of the Supreme Court of New York said, "My exper ience during 23 years on the bench in which time over 4,000 boys under the age of 21 years were convicted of crime before me of Whom but three were members of a Sunday School, fiiat satisfied me of the value of Sunday Schools." The District Attorney of Mercer County, Pa., said: "In my opinion the; Sunday School is the most potent crime prevention agency in American il'e. Prisons serve to restrain the criminally minded of mature years I hough they are ineffective at best, but the Sunday School prevents crime by developing Christian char acter during the formation period of youth." The Sunday School is as essential in the moulding of character for use ful citizenship as the public schools. And as the people are taxed so ex tremely high for the public schools and pay so little attention to the Sunday School, shows plainly to me a lack of common sense. We all enjoy Brother Chapman's Prayer Corner most of anything in the paper. May he live many years yet to write the Prayer Corner for us. W. N. GILLESPIE. OR.

THREATENS COURT ACTION IN MATTER OF WATER CHARGES ( Continued from paac onel allowed to charge the residents of i said Town on dwellings in excess of | One Dollar per room per annum for ; the use of water, yet the pretended | ordinance that you published last . week would exceed that rate one hun- , dred per cent or mere than double, j As a citizen of the Town, I do not | object to the Town authorities adopt- j ing an ordinance as to water rates | but in doing so it must not conflict , with the consideration of the deed j under which the Town now owns the water works that supplies the citizens of the Town with water That the citizens of Brevard may I know what is attempting to be done, I trust you will publish this article, land I quote a part of the deed, which is of record in Deed Book No. 23, page 189, which reads as follows: "Whereas at a meeting of the stockholders of the Brevard Water Company, a corporation created and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of North Carolina, a proposition was made to the Town of Brevard by a large majority of the shareholders of said corporation to sell to said Town all of its stcn-lc, rights, franchises, privileges and I properties at par, provided, that the said Town would guarantee to the shareholders, whose stock was so I transferred, that this water rent should never exceed One Dollar per room per annum, and the said Town of Brevard through its Board of Al dermen having accepted said proposi tion, etc." From your article of the lGt'n, it appears the Town Officials claim the Water Department is not self sus taining and I wonder if the reason is the same reason that caused them to lose to the taxpayers the large amount of money that was deposited in the bank without security, the --amr at the time being in the direct I charge and control of of a certain member of the Board of Aldermen, and who, 1 am informed, was chair |man of the Finance Committee and who was at the same time a director of the Brevard Banking Company. I shall not submit to the Board of ; Aldermen breaching their contract with the citizens of our Town until | the Court of last resort says a con tract can be breached by one party thereto over the opposition and pro test of the other partv thereto.

VERNER HEADS ! P.-T. ASSOCIATION Past Year Most Important In the History of Splendid Organization ( Contributed ) The P. T. A. met for its last time Monday afternoon for this school term. The attendance was not as large as one could have wished for, but all there enjoyed a splendid pro grom conducted by Miss Eva Cali with the little ones. One can hardly realize what can be accomplished with such small children under skill; ful training only by attending school meetings. Prof. J. B. Jones led the devotional. The business part of the meeting was then taken up. The work of the P.-T. A. this year it would seem had almost reached its climax; having no funds and many things to do. As al ways, the people of Transylvania have met the difficulty by responding out of their pockets with a good will. Little children have been furnished nourishing , carefully prepared meals with gladness and sympathy on the part of those doing it. The number of lunches served amounted to 3471. The by-laws say two years is the term of any chairman for the P.-T. A. and all regret to see the retirement of Mrs. H. L. Wilson from that of fice. She has served untirlingly and whole-heartedly for the good of this community, showing strong leadership in accomplishing the things needed to be done by P.-T. A. and cooperating with the teachers and various commit tees. The teachers aso have shown the best possible spirit every way in making the schools a successful term. The patrons of the school have all shown their interest in many Ways. Especially, the P.-T. A. wishes to thank those who have so kindly fur nished milk in conjunction with the lunches. Mr. C. K. Osborne has been more than kind in this way, as all agree milk is the chief food for grow ing children. In all consideration the P.-T. A. this year has done its noblest work and all will agree what it means to Transylvania and Brevard. The new officers elected are: Mrs. S. P. Verner, president; Mrs.^/Roy Long, vice president.; Mrs. A. B. Gal loway, secretary; Mrs. Roland Whit mire, treasurer. The district chairman, Mrs. Frell of Canton has appointed Mrs. Oliver Orr county chairman of Transylvania county. I default having been made in the pay ment of said indebtedness and the j undersigned Trustee haying been re 1 quested to foreclose said Deed in i Trust and all notices required havinfi been given and said default has nol 1 been made good ; NOW THEREFORE the under signed Trustee will on Monday th< 27th day of April, 1931, at 12 o'clocl M., at the Court House door in th< town of Brevard, N.

This Saturday is the last day that voters may register for the primary ifnd election. ?-? The primary wil! be .held next Monday. It is not knofch whether republicans will be permitted to vote in the pri mary. There tias been much street rumors to the effect that none but democrats would be allowed to vote in the nominating contcst. Some re publicans had expressed a desire to have a voice in the primary or. ac count of the fact that no renublican ticket is to be presented in the gen eral election. From all indications, the real fight is to bo between Whitmire and Ram say, candidates for mayor. The lines are sharply drawn in this contest Much interest is being taken in tl::( campaign, and a tremendous amount of work is being done by friends of both men. j 6 6 6 LIQUID or TABLETS Cures Colds, Headaches, Fever 6 6 6 SALVE CURES BABY'S COLD | Only $69 COMPLETE icUJt tutu** i j for the NEW I AtwaterKent CoUicn Voiced COMPACT W USES the new Pentode tube.
