Tuesday's Meeting Called Of?
Account of Weather, But
Some Came N
Plans had been perfected for a i
joint committee meeting of Greenville |
and Brevard citizens Tuesday aftar- ?
noon in planning for the celebration t
to be held at Caesar's Head on New j
Year's Day, to mark the completion !
and formal opening of the highway!
between these two friendly centers, j
The sleet came down in sheets, how- 1
ever, and a telephone message was j
received in Brevard from Secretary I
Glenn, of the Greenville Chamber of ?'
Commerce, that the Greenville dele- :
gation asked postponement of the |
committee meeting to a more favor- i
ible day.
Messrs. 0. P. Mills and L. H. |
Stringer came to Brevard, however, j
from the Mills Summer home at ;
Cedar Mountain, where they were at- 1
tending a birthday anniversary |
party. They were members of the j
Greenville delegation, and could not |
be informed of the postponement of '
the committee meeting. The two men j
spent an hour in Brevard, and ex- j
pressed the opinion that there is 1
much pleasure and profit to both sec- !
tions in the future connections and !
business relations of Transylvania ,
:ounty and Greenville. j
P.-T. ASSOCIATION j
MEETS ON MONDAY!
I
Regular monthly meeting of the
Parent-Teacher association will be I
held at the Elementary building on I
Monday Dec. 14, at three o'clock. The j
:opic "Character Building" will be ;
included by a musical program. 1
Character Building has proved a ?
-ery interesting subject and the (
programs have been instructive. .
Professor Jones gave the first of this i
series, stating that Character Build- 1 .
ng should begin in the home. Hq .
jlaced the responsibility of the mold- ?
ng of character upon the parents, j
tnd then upon the teachers. This I >
opic was further discussed by other j(
nembers of the association who j (
ihowed that character may be devel- ? .
>ped through story-telling, the read- 1 (
ng of good literature, and by train- '
ng at school as given by the Home
Economics Department.
Program for December is as fol- i 3
ows: , L
"The Christmas Story, as Told by.j
3t. Luke," Mrs. Sledge's grade. (i
Prayer by Rev. R. L. Alexander, i '
Play, "A Guest of Pollyanna." '1
A Christmas Message, by Rev. R. j
Alexander. j i
Miss Eva Call and Prof. Alvinjl
Moore have charge of the play which i
s given by the fifth grade. The Jun-ii
or Music Club will sing the carols <
iff stage. 1
Importance of Character Building
s illustrated in the following para- <
jraph as given by Judge A. J. Tal
ey: "A Nation's destiny is not in its
earning or the amount of informa- :
ion it acquires ? it's in its character,
rhe heart of culture is the culture
>f the heart. The only way to form .
:haraeter is through religion. Find
ne another way and I'll accept it.
rhe only system of education worthy
>f the name of system, much less ed
.ication, is that one which literally
?nd actually inculcates the eternal
:ruth of morality, not only by teach- i
ng, but by hour to hour example. I ;
am speaking as an expert. I am not
i theorist. The reason I dare speak
s that every day, every hour, I am
face to face with the real thing
here, with the facts.

MacDOUGALD DELIVERS '
ADDRESS TO KIWANIS
And Declares Real Advance
ment Ours, Without Cost,
Except Effort
"Brevard can gut right now some- ,
thii% which f.viU mean more than j
anything else that could possibly !
come to this section, and that without f
any capital outlay, if they will just ,
go get it." said Duncan MacDougald j
at the Brevard Kiwanis club last]
Thursday. Mr. MacDougald was re- 1
fei'iing to a connecting link of high- I
way through Pisgah National Forest
hooking up with the great network !
at the Haywood county line, which i
will be. when completed in a few. I
months, a channel that will tap the .
middle and central West.
Mr. MdcDougald, who was intro- !
duced by President R. L. Alexander, >i
as "a man who talks roads, dreams j
roads' and walks on roads," was em-;
phatic in his statements that now, as i
never before, Brevard and Transyl- i
vania stood at the threshold of pros- j
perity, giving many facts and much j
data to back up his statements. Com- 1
pletion of the Greenville highway to I
Brevard, on the south, and completion I
of the highway from Knoxville into !
Haywood county, leaves Brevard in a '
stragetic geographical position. Mr. I
MacDougald asserted, in that this ?
section is in direct line of traffic that i
wMl pass from Florida to the North i
and West in the early summer and j
from there to Florida in the early i
fall.
The roads enthusiast had a large !
map which he displayed to the Ki
wanis club showing that the road
from Greenville, South Carolina and
points south via Brevard was a direct
route to .Knoxville and points north;

Chairman Kizer Says Response
to Welfare Work Good
In the County
BUT IS NOT BRAGGING
ON BREVARD'S PORTION
All Must Realize That People
Must Give, Even If the Giv
ing Does Hurt
"You miiy say that I am proud of
the response being made to the ap
peals of the County Welfare Associa
tion by thi^ people of the county, but :
am greatly disappointed at the poor ;
response being made by the people j
of the town," said Alex Kfzar, c ;air
man of the executive committee of
the association, when asked as to the
j) regress of the work. Mr. Kizer paid
tine tribute to the people of Little
River, Pisgah Forest. Rosman, and
other sections of the county, and dis
played reports from these sections
showing that much fine work had been
done, and many useful gifts had been
received.
Nothing has been done in Brevard,
however, and Mr. Kizer. and his com
mittee are at a loss to understand
why Brevard people, usually so ready
to help in any worthy cause, are so ;
slow in responding to the call of the i
relief work here. Mr. Kizer stated ;
that some people seem to have the
opinion that they are called upon to i
give only those things that they no 1
longer need. "That is not the case at
all," Mr. Kizer said. "If we are to
take care of those who need assist
ance, people in Brevard are going ,to ,
have to give not only those things
they no longer need, but must give
even of things and money that it
seems they cannot do without."
It is beiieved that the people in;
Brevard will come forth and give ev- 1
en until it hurts when once they
realize the need for immediate ac
tion. The cold weather of the past
few days had increase the demand j
for aid, and as the winter comes this |
need will grow still larger. ||

to cross his threshold for years, and N
Is furious at the news. But this is on- j 1
