USE CANNED FOODS
TO BALANCE DIET
Not only does canning: surplus veg
etables and fruits in summer save
money in winter and assure the fami
ly of an adequate food supply but it
also improves the general health of
the family by balancing the dist
"Some 250 farm women in Pitt
County have learned this im
portant lesson/' says Miss Ethel
Nice, home agent. "We have been
studying foods and nutrition in our
11 home demonstration clubs of this
county during the past two years
and tve have found that good nutri
tion and canning go haud in hand,
lu 1931, there were 18 canning dem
onstrations given before the club
women and as a result, ? 75,258 jars
of fruits and vegetables were saved
by canning and preserving. If this
food was valued at only 20 cents a
quart, the total would amount to $15,
051.60. While this saving i3 an im
portant item at a time when money
is scarce, the more important thing
is the better health of the farm fami
lies having a better balanced diet."
For two years now, Pitt farm
women have studied the value of the
different foods and the part they
play in nutrition of the body. In 1931,
the women studied cereals, vegetables
and eggs. So far this year, the stud
ies have centered about meats, sal
ads and breads. There are few club
women who do not know the essen
tials of a good diet and how to pre
pare meals that ?will supply the
balanced diet necessary to continued
good health. The women are now
purchasing pressure cookers so that j
they may can surplus meats and other i
products. These canners are supplied ,
by Greenville merchants and paid for;
in fresh and canned produce, Miss!
Nice says.
There are 3.721 white farm fami
lies in Pitt County and the goal of i
the home demonstration forces is to !
reach each of these this season so !
that they may serve a balanced diet j
next winter.

.45 TO DRIVING
""j|
Editor Brevard News,
On Sunday afternoon upon the j
main street of Brevard one of the J
most tragic accidents was adverted j
by some means of Providence. This ,
accident almost occured at the inter
scction of West Main street and Cald- j
well Avenue. This is one of the most ;
dangerous intersections in town. The !
view on entering both streets is ob
structed by the buildings until any-j
one can not see the traffic on Main
street or Caldwell avenue until after
they have entered the intersection.
Now what I want to know is this:
If Brevard is such a large town that
she can write City on the limit boards
that mark her boundaries, why in
the world can't she have a few slop
signs written in the streets or a few
red lights erected? While we are try
ing to boost Brevard as the best town
in Western North Carolina for the
tourists to spend their vacation, and
trying to get people located here from
all parts of the world, we are making
no provision what so ever to protect
them while they are traveling upon
our streets. Some say that you should
slow down, stop, look, and listen; but
what are you going to do when try
ing to be careful and the other fellow .
trying to bump you off and send you
to H scorer than you prefer j
going? I
The town of Brevard has made a
one-way [street out of one of it's
dangerous streets, after three or four
accidents had occured. Why can't the '
town of Brevard take warning before I
some one is killed and some driver is ]
sent to the penitentiary and make |
those intersections safer for the pub- j
lie? Are we going to sit calmly by j
until it is too late before we can get j
off the dime and do something that j
would protect us now, and in the !
future?
The Representatives and Senators j
sent from this county and others;
each year pass numerous petty laws j
that are not for the good of all the j
people. Why don't some of them wake
up and pass one requiring all drivers
in the State of North Carolina to be
examined by the Highway depart
ment and a driver's license covering
a period of three or four years be
issued. Then if he was in a wreck,
or (driving undeix the influence of
liquor, or physically unable to drive,
have the license revoked and if
caught driving given a heavy fine
with jail sentence. This would be one
way to help rid the streets and high
ways of reckless drivers, and would
help protect the traveling public.
Now let's get together and think
this over and help make this county
and Brevard one of the safest places
to drive in, in Western North
Carolina.
Very truly yours,
RALPH WALDROP

LEA APPEALS TO THE i
U.S. SUPREME COURT
jrWstS- .
Court and stay of .execution of wn
tonce^ of Col. Lu?tfi Lea, Nashville,
Tenn , publisher and former senator,
and son, Luke Lea, Jr., is expecteu
to be placed before Chief Justice W.
P. Stacy, of the N. C. Supreme Court
this week by General Albert L. eox,
Raleigh, attorney for the Leas.
The North Carolina Supreme court
]ast week uoheld judgments in Bun
combe county superior court ag?.n?
the father and son and Wallace B.
Davi? president of the now closed
Central Bank & Trust Co., for con
spiracy and violating the N. C. Dank
inc laws, resulting in the collapse 01
the bank. Colonel Lea was given a
sentence of six to ten years m State s
Prison, Davis from four to six years
and Luke Lea, Jr., to pay a fine of
$35,000, while Davis aiso faces a sen
tence of five to seven years i lor pub
lication of a false report on the bank s
condition, also upheld by the N. U
Supreme Court.
Colo?el Lea was decorated for gaJ
lantrv in the World War and was
greatly publicized for his plan to cap
ture the Kaiser and deliver him to
Woodrow Wilson in a cage at the end
of the war. He was sent to the J. =>?
Senate at the age of 32. He i and '?
son also face civil suits instituted by
the N C. Banking Department lor
recovery of $1,400,000 alleged to have
been loaned them by the Cena?
Bank & Trust Co. before it closed in
October, 1930. . ,
Chief Justice Stacy wiote the
opinion upholding the judgment of
the lower court in the conspiracy
charge against the two Leas an
Davis, to which Associate Justice
W J Brogden wrote a dissenting
opinion. Associate Justice G. W. Con
nor wrote the opinion upholding the
lower court judgment in the c^e
against Davis for publishing a false
report of the bank's condition.
These are looked upon as two of
the most important cases growing out
of the general collapse ot business
which had something to do with the
failure of the Asheville bank. It will (
probably be hard to get the U. b.
Supreme Court to hear the appeal it.
the Lea ease. Unless Colonel Lea
conies to N. C. to begin his sentence
voluntarily, after appeals are cleared
sway, it will require a requisition by i
Governor Gardner on Governor Hor- .
ton, of Tennessee, to get him here. ,
RPWORTHlEAGUE i
PROGRAM AT B. 1. 1
One of the most interesting Ep
! worth League programs of the year
was rendered at Brevard Institute
on the third Sunday in May, under
the direction of Miss Mary Floj ,
teacher of Bible and director of re- j
ligious activities. As far back as Jan-i
uary, Mr. Pio Sanchez in charge of j
the Missionary Department of tn i
league, wrote to teachers and mis- ,
sicnaries in the various foreign fields,
reauesting a reply from them setting
forth significant facts m regard to
the prograss of work in their fields,
thc urgent needs, and other points
of interest. Replies were received
from six different countries in Latin
American, Europe, Asia, and Afnca.
From Cuba, President H. B. Bard
well of Chandler College, Havana,
was the spokesman. Mexico was rep
resented by Miss Eglantia Flores, of
Colegia Robert at Saltillo. Miss No
rcne Robken, from Wilno, Poland,
'supplied us with interesting infor
mation about that new field of work,
while from Africa word came from
Miss Edith Martin, Belgian Congo.
The far Eastern fields were Korea
and Japan, presented by Miss Susie
Peach Foster, of Seoul, and Miss
Lelia Bagley.
It is aside from our purpose to here
review the messages from these
fields, but it may be briefly stated
that the variety of activities engaged
in by our missionaries, extending
from elementary instruction in sani
tation and living habits, all the way
to evangelistic work, was a revelation
to most of the members of our league.
Practically all the workers stressed
the importance of at least maintain
ing our present strength in the fields
where we have stations, saving the
retrenchment at this time would con
stitute real disaster. In the words of
Mr. Bard well, workers who are "lov
ers of God and of men, possessing
fine gifts and wide training" are
needed now as much as ever before,
and of course the financial support
must go on.
As the letters from the various
fields were presented, each one by
a different leaguer, a girl approp
riately dressed stood by her side ant.
unfurled the flag of that nation. At
the conclusion of the reading another
girl standing behind the group, un
furled over" all the Christian flag:
while the League stood and sang
"Christ For the World, We Sing.
The apparc.nt effect of the entire
service was a vitalizing in the minds
of those present of what often seems
to young people a very prosaic sub
ject. the subject of Missions.

HENRY'S PLATFORM
IS CLEARLY STATED
(Ctmtinued from page one)
all in my power to improve and
strengthen this law.
1 am opposed to the Primary Law
as it is unsatisfactory and costs the
taxpayers of the State a tremendous
sum of money which they cannot af
ford to pay.
I favor allowing residents to fish
in French Broad River from Rosman
to the Henderson county line with
out license.
I believe in Education of our chil
dren, but am heartily in favor and
will use my best efforts to reduce
the cost of our Educational System
and am in favor of a reduction of
the expenses connected with our pres
ent school system.
I am in favor of legislation which
will provide school books for the chil
dren either at a small rental, or to
have school books furnished by the
State free of any direct cost to the
parents and the school children.
I am in favor of equalization of
salaries from the Governor to Con
stable, for the man who is getting
the same salary today which he re
ceived two years ago, has practically
had his salary doubled, as he caii
buy twice as much now with what he
receives, as he could have bought two
years ago with the same amount of
money and as the products of the
farm have been reduced in value by
a tremendous amount, I am heartily
in favoi and will use my effort to
reduce all expenses of government in
the County and State and including
all salaries paid to any public offi
cial.
I am in favor of changing the sys
tem of the annual audits of depart
ments of the County government and
have an uniform system for the en
tire State, which, if I am successful
in having put into law, will save the
taxpayers of Transylvania County
thousands of dollars per year.
I am proud that my efforts and
my votes in the Legislature were used
so as to enable the State Government
to pay off over Twelve Millions of
Dollars of the State indebtedness dur
ing the last two years, which is a
record unsurpassed by any other
State in the Union.
I will use my effort to secure such
legislation as will effect an honest
cash value of all property in the
County, so that the farm lands will
not be burdened with the terrific tax
es now placed on them.
I will endeavor to secure such leg
islation as will enable our County to
fund its present indebtedness and
extend the payments of its bonds and
notes over such a period as will not
force our Commissioners to levy a
burdensome tax for the immediate
payment of said indebtedness,
I believe that the people of Transyl
vania county know my record and
know that I have never allowed any
influence to swerve me from doinfi
all that I could for the upbuilding of
the County and the lessening of these
great taxes which have been placed
upon the taxpayers in Transylvania.
I have always tried to help my fel
low-citizens and will continue to dc
so, and I am always glad to have the
benefit of the advice of the people
of Transylvania County and if I am
nominated and elected my every ef
fore will be for the benefit, upbuild
ing and relief of Transylvania Coun
ty and each and every citizen therein.
I belong to no "Ring" and the only
interest which affects me, is the in
terest of all of the people of Transyl
vania County.
I am a Baptist, I am a Democrat
and I am a citizen of what I think is
the best County in the State and as
such, I promise to the people of the
County, if nominated and elected, I
will give all my efforts to secure a
reduction of all public expenses and
to save the taxpayers every cent pos
sible and as far as is within me, to
secure Prosperity for our people.
Respectfully,
W. M. HENRY.

Children
Raleigh, June 22 ? An alarming in
crease in typhoid fever, diphtheria
(and intestinal diseases of young- chil
dren during the past year and es
pecially in the past four months is
causing deep concern to the State
Board of Health and has caused Dr.
J M. Parrott, State h^Uth officer,
to issue a warning; to th^jfcreop'e and
an appeal to local government agen
cies to help combat the diseases.
Giving figures to show the huge in
crease, Dr. Parrott calls on county
and municipal officials to take "rig
orous action and supply more funds,
else there will te a continued and
very serious increase in typhoid, diph
theria and enteritis this summer and
early fall.
"The State Board of Health is
pleased to do whatever it can to co
operate in every way possible, Dr,
Parrott states." The people them
selves must do something to help
themselves. I solemnly and earnestly
warn the public to be vaccinated
against typhoid and diphtheria and
to follow the advice of doctors and
local health services about sanitary
matters, particularly proper milk and
water sanitation."

And we know of no better habit than that which directs so many
people to our place. You would be surprised at the number of people
in Brevard and Transylvania county who have the habit of coming here
for their Flour, Meal, Bacon, Eggs, Chickens, Coffee, and all staple and
Heavy Groceries
But Habits Are Formed
And the people who have the habit of coming here for these things
formed that habit when they found that they could buy these articles
at a SAVING. So, after all, the habit of coming here
Is A Saving Habit
Then the Farmers of the County have the habit of coming here be
cause they find all those things so needed in their work ? such as Good
Seed, Purina Feed, Fertilizers, Plants, Sprays, Poison for Beetles and
Bugs, and everything that the Farmer needs. .We are vain enough to
believe that the Farmers enjoy coming to our place, for they know that
we are glad to have them come; glad to talk with them about their
problems; glad to have them simply come in and sit about and talk to
us. ^
GET THE HABIT, PLEASE
Of coming here, where most of your friends come each and every week.
You will enjoy it; you will profit by it. We shall enjoy your visit as
often as you want to come.
