MAN STUDENTS DO EXCELLENT WORK Boys and Girls Add Big Store to Stock for Associated Charities Work The Home Economies department, instructed by Miss Olga Fortenberry and the Vocational Agriculture De partment, instructed by Prof. J. F. Corbin, of Rosman High School, led in the work ?t' canning vegetables and fruits which will be handled by the Associated Charities of the county to the best advantage to relieve suf fering from hunger this winter. The Ciannnar Grade Classes also showed a splendid spirit in making the can ning a success, especially the third, fourth, sixth and seventh grades. They furnished more produce than any of the other grades in school. Many citizens of the Rosman com munity contributed to the work by lending utensils to be used in the canning operations. The Gloucester Lumber Company company store, J. W. Glazener and the Rosman Cash and Carry Store furnished salt and fuel for the can nery. The following list of the Home Economics girls and Agriculture boys who led in the canning work: Edith Clarke, Daisy Galloway, Lila Gillespie, Aileen Glazener, Alt ha Hfnkle, Mildred Henderson, Verona Lyday, Ethel Manly, Reba McCall, Ophelia White, Ann Moore, Maxie Moore, Fanny Morgan, Ellen Owens.

ROBERTSOS TO BE IN ASHEVILLE FOR SEASON Mrs. Lodcma Robertson, of the Powder Puff Beauty Shop, announces that she has closed the shop here for the next three months, and she will be with the fashionable Harper Shop, on Haywood street, in Asheville. She will return to Brevard the first of the year and re-open the Powder Puff Shop. Mrs. Robertson is one of the most popular women of the town, being president of the Business and Professional Women's club here. SCHOOL SCHEDULE IN ONE HOUR PERIODS (School Reporter) At the end of the first month of school, everyone seems to have be come accustomed to the change in schedule. Five one-hour periods with a study period at the end of each class have replaced the former sche dule of <">ven forty-five minute per iods of recitation. The object of the one-hour periods is to give the stu dents an opportunity to prepare ' their lessons for the next day while the explanations of the teacher are i still on their minds. About forty-five j minutes are given to recitation and j explanation and the remaining time is spent in studying. Chapel is held in the afternoon in stead of in the morning. This change, also, was met with a few "oh's" and "ah's" at the first of school, but it has turned out to be v. very welcome interruption in the afternoon classes. LEGAL TRANSFERS Only one legal transfer was noted in the office of the Register of Deeds, Jess Galloway and Assistant Register Mrs. Jess Galloway during the past week : W. R. Fortune and wife to Mitchell Fortune.

BREVARD ELEVEN IN BARD FOUGHT GAME Outweighed by Heavy Weav erville High Outfit, Locals Fought to the Last Coach Tilson's Blue Devils waged a hard fought battle of football against Weaverville High School Friday aft ernoon on the local field. Battling against a far heavier team the Devils were outclassed in many points of the game. Despite the heavy odds the game ended with a score of only 12-0 in favor of Weaverville High. The team an<^ local football fans are not at all discouraged by the out come of the game since the Blue Dev ils only have three experienced men to aid them, the others being com paratively new to the game. The game started off with a rush, Brevard receiving the opening kick off. Osborne, visiting left half, in tercepted a pass and placed the pig skin between his goal posts with a i snappy right end run for the first touchdown of the game early in the ' first quarter. They failed to gain the extra point. It was a straight game of football, both teams concentrating on line plunges. With a much heavier line the Weaverville team rushed the Blue Devils back about five yards at each line plunge they attempted. On the defense Davis and Lance starred as they managed to make many success ful tackles. Early in the third quarter~Weaver ville made her second touchdown and again failed to win the extra point. The Blue Devils hung grimly on until 'the end of the game, playing their best part of the battle in the final quarter.

ASK TICKET AGENTS J. H. WOOD Division Passenprer Agent ASHEVILLE, N. C. POLITICS RUINED COUNTY, CHURCH, : SAYS NEWS WRITER 1 j ' ( Continued, from, page one ) so often. Every four years is often ; enough. We're not especially caring for any old politics except our Coun- , !ty and we wouldn't care if there was not a politic in it. Sure, it would be , 'much better off if there wasn t. All ' in favor of the above plans let it be ; i known by the usual yea. Those op i posed nay, and if we hear any nays we have still another possible solu- , ;tion. I Glade Creek nor nobody else just | ! mustn't brag any more on their roads . i and road overseer than we on ours. | ; We've got the nicest, smoothest roads in all the county (at least they are i at this writing). Of course, we know , 'that when it rains the roads are go- , ing to be slick, muddy, rough and ] all kinds of travelling except walking ' are going to stay put but why worry ' about that. They are good now. It s real fun to be riding along and not j to be in constant fear offco.ng out through the top of your flivver or else being out pushing out some mud hole. Then, too, the County Com . missioners, (pardon, we didnt mean j to lay that, we meant county offi cials) are not being cussed for put- ? ting sufch mud holes on us poor, hard 'working taxpayers, but do you know f wc iust go sailing along whistling 01 : singing or talking and laughing, I knowing all the time that if we meet 1 a car we wont have to back all the i way to our front door to let it pass, i oh. ves, they have trimmed out and made a whole heap of wide places j in our road. It really is surprising ithe improvement that has been made (on. our road under Buck Wilson s , (supervision, but our- roads have been fixed pretty good a few times before, j so we don't know just how to sym I puthize with Glade Creek in being marooned all these years, even since I Adam was a boy. Oh! well, we don t know what Adam meant but surely not the first Adam that, came to our mind as that Adam we're thinking of never was a boy and there's no rec ord of his even being little, but once and you know that was the tune he ate the apple and was little enough to pack it off on his wife. ! Wallis Gillespie went to Butmore to a cattle judging contest. (That s : nothing, did you say? Other boys went, too.) Well, don't butt in let me finish about Wallis as I said before, he went to the cattle judging contest and beat everybody there. Friday he ! went to Raleigh to another cattle judging contest and came second.) Now, he gets a trip to St. Louis. Honestly, we're just as proud of him 'as if he'd beat the whole frazzling bunch at Raleigh. He leaves for St. I Louis the eighth of October. Now, do you blame East Fork for being proud of a boy like that? He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Gillespie, a student of Rosman high school and school bus "Driver froni East Fork to j Rosman. i \ Jack Frost is expected on East Fork at an early date. In fact there I is a great deal of bustle and hurry ? going on getting in readiness for j Jack's expected visit. If we don't get ; ! heaps of stuff gathered up we won t have anything to take to the fair at Rosman, as Jack generally plays havoc with pretty flowers and nice ? .tender garden truck. Mr. Arwood from Lake Toxaway visited our Sunday School Sunday land gave us a splendid talk. We j 'enjoy good talks especially if the i speaker believes the very sama we \do. . u S i East Fork is walking round with . 'a big broad grin all over the face (if iyou could see it for our heads being so high in the air). Well, why j j shouldn't w?? We've got a boy to , ,be proud of. , , . j We miss the Sunday School les- j sons by The Brevard News editor. j HOUSTON PEOPLE IN SELLING CAMPAIGN Houston's men turned the trick and sold 64 Hoosier kitchen cabinets dur ing the sale, starting Saturday morning, Sept. 19 and ending Sat urday night .Sept. 26. Mr. Houston pronounces the sale one of the most successful ever held in his place of business, being the largest number of I cabinets ever sold in one sale except that of 1928, when he placed 76 cab inets. A cash prize is always given to the i man 3elling the largest number of J cabinets, and Goode Loftis took the prize money this time, with Mr. Mc Call running him a close second. "Each salesman worked hard and : put the thing over," was Mr. Hous- 1 tqns' way of expressing his satisfac tion with the result of the week's work. J PUSHELL STOCK ON SALE IN BREVARD , 1 The American Sales company, pur- ] chasers of the Pushell stock of goods, < announces the opening of the big sale 1 of the stock, beginning today. N. Morris, formerly owner of the Mor- J ris Footwear Department here, is in < charge of the sale for the purchasers 1 of the stock. Announcement is made ] that the sale must be rushed through 1 and the goods disposed of in the 1 shortest time possible, hence the at- < tractive prices placed upon the Push- i ell stock. The shoe stofk of the Mor- 1 ris Footwear Department is also in- J eluded in the sale. J Real Tragedy i Pop ? There's nothing worse than J, to be old and bent. Son ? Yes there is, Dad. 1 Pop ?

Hamlin, State Vice Councilor of the Junior Order will deliver an address at the semi annual district meeting of the Junior Order, United American Mechanics to be held in Canton Friday, October 23. The Canton Council No. 142 will be host to this jurisdiction which i. composed of Haywood, Buncombe, Polk, Henderson, Madison and Tran sylvania counties. According to the plans, the put poses and principles of the Jr. O. U. A. M. will t>e revealed in an interest ing way to the public, and those in charge of the meeting are anticipat ing one of the largest crowds to ever attend a district meeting. The pro gram will be held in the auditorium of the Canton High School and invi tations are being extended to the general public. The program will include addresses by prominent State Council officers, music and other features. The regu lar business of the district meeting will be held in the Lodge hall of the Canton organization at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Marvin Glance, district deputy of Leicester. Mr. Hamlin was elected State Vice-Councilor on August 20 at a meeting of the Juniors in Charlotte. In August of 1932 he automatically becomes State Councilor. PLUMMER COMPANY STAGING SALE EVENT "Not a bankrupt sale, but a sale of regular stock goods of quality and style at prices that spell saving" is the way Plummer's Department store announces a sale now in progress at their popular store. Judging from the prices in the page advertisement of Plummer's store, old High Cost of Dressing has been knocked into a 1 cocked hat. i Reading of the page advertisement j will be a pleasant and profitable task for the women, and the men, too, of ' this community. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO SUSPEND FOR WINTER Active operations of the Chamber ! of Commerce during the wint?r months will be suspended on Octobef 1st, and the office on Main Street' closed temporarily, in view of the slight calls of this organization out side of the regular tourist season. The secretary, Miss Alma Trow bridge, will continue to answer any mail or inquiries coming to the office, and any information relative to this organization may be obtained by com municating with her. It is expected that active operations of the organi zation will be resumed during the spring and summer months. MTALL FAMILY TO CONVENE SUNDAY Hundreds of people are expected to attend the McCall reunion which will be held in the county court house Sunday, October 4. The Mc Call family is said to be one of the largest in Western North Carolina. An elaborate program has been arranged for the day. Dr. John E.

FRY OUR WANT ADS % CHURCH LOSING ITS i APPEAL IN BREVARD AS SURVEY REVEALS ( Continued from page erne) not only is the community suffering spiritually from this condition, but much of the economic ills here are due largely to this flagrant disregard I for God's work and leadership. It is no unusual sight to witness evening services here in some churches with a congregation of less than fifty men, women and children. . W hy this condition exists, no one seems to know. How the church is to overcome the difficulty seems to be ? a question that no one here can solve ? The ministers of the town face an almost impossible task in the effort to "carry on." If the present rate of ' decrease is maintained for any ap- 1 preciable length of time, the church- ; going numbers will become so small i that the institutions cannot be main tained by the remaining few who do attend. The situation is fraught with danger, and is of such serious nature and filled with such dire possibili^es that it challenges the attention and best thought of all right-thinking people. Brevard, without church activities, | would be an impossible place. One-fifth of Brevard's population j now attends church ? a small percent j age, indeed. And the decrease in church attend- ! ance goes merrily on. That one-fifth may soon become a much smaller number, and then ? i what? i JACK FROSTlOMES i TO SEE OLD FRIENDS I The pungent odor of moth balls assails one on the streets this week, | since Mother Nature hustled in t touch of Winter last Sunday and the few persons who dare defy the ele ments, go forth in winter garments, quickly dug from old closets, trunks bags and attics. Sunday was cold and the world awoke to a clear, crisp biting wind Monday morning. Tuesday was cool and Wednesday was warmer though there was still a sharp tang in the air. Weather reports are to the ef fect that the cold spell has worn it self down and that there will be many more warm and even_ sultry days before cold weather proper sets in. Tuesday and Wednesday early ris ers, found frost on the ground though by the time the average man made his appearance, the fog had melted it all away. So far none of the crops have been injured by Jack Frost. Weather experts say that there is no danger from frost at this time. j Brevard's first football game, came before the cold snap on Fridav after noon when Brevard played Weaver ville High. Hereafter the pigskin will ring with its true sound of hard shoe on a cold ball. It is the ideal weather for such a sport. The week found fires in several stores and many , homes for the first fire-up of the year. One of th* local churches fired up for Sunday ser vices. Though the school did without heat the students had no expressions | of discomfort or suffering from the cold. 1 ANOTHER TEACHER j FOR P1SGAH FOREST [ Miss Mamie Lyday has been allot ted by the State Equalization Board, as an extra teacher to join the teach ing staff at the Pisgah Forest school. The state will pay all of her salary for the six months provided by the state and also the two extra months I necessary to make an 8 months school term. The enrollment increased so much over the enrollment of last year at Pisgah Forest that it was necessary to employ an additional teacher. Other teachers at Pisgah Forest are: R. D. Jenkins, Miss Julia Deav er, Miss Flora Lyday and Miss Annie Mae Patton, this makes a total teach ing staff of five including the new teacher, Miss Mamie Lyday.
