-4 STENOGRAPH UK'S DISPLAY
OF SPLENDID LOYALTY.
"Were you talking about my boss
in that editorial last week?" a cer
tain lawyer's stenographer asked this
poor ami soiely tried scribe one day
recently. Fire was in her eye and ire
was in her expression. Always more
ur kss bashttil in the presence of la
dies, we couldn't answer lor a mo
mem, >o the impatient stenographer
continued her tongue lashing, and
"It' you were talking about my
I shall never read your paper
again, and you may remove my name
i loin your mailing list, if you were
w urruig to MY boss in that edi
torial."
When assured that no mention had
been made of her employer, no inti
tuation, even, of taking her boss to
task, then she became her own friend
ly self again.
There is nothing particularly inter
esting in relating this story, nor is
there any news value in it, because
are taken to task so often, and
jump, d upon by so many people be
of eiiiiutials and news articles,
!.?s oiii incident was but one
more of its kind.
But there was something fine and
;-rand in this woman's act. There
was a ii, an:.; .station of loyalty to her
??T ?> ?? 4- i;...: was most refreshing
and deeply impressive. Here was a
sicti.i-iaphc.-. an employe, who was
willing to do battle in protecting' her
employer. It was t : no ; it was grand;
it was rather unusual.
That woman can be trusted. She
can be tru.-ieu with anything on
in whatever value. No finer
m; k ni hour or honesty can be
!? und than that of an employe's loy
alty to an employer. On the other
hand, no meaner spirit can be dis
I ,1 titan tii.it of disloyalty to one's
employer;
hi this connection it mignt be well

- Mt'y. "- 'inaxed his tine address
i\v r-ading the following words from
llubbbard:
HorSq Sotst
!i v 'ti work for a man, in heaven's
name work tor him. If he pays wages
that supply you your bread and but
ter. work for him. speak well of him,
? h : n k well of him. .stand by him and
,M : : by the institution he represents,
i hink it I worked for a man, I would
" '"'k for him. 1 would not work for
h'm a part of his time, but ail of his
! "ic: I would give an undivided ser
or none. If put to a pinch, an
< .nee i t loyalty is worth a pound of
Inverness. If you must vilify, con
demn and eternally disparage, why,
r< <ign your position, and when you
are outside, damn to your heart's con
tent. But, I pray you. so long as you
i't'e part of an institution, do not con
demn it. Not that you will injure the
" titution not that ? but when you
tiisfiarago the concern of which you
a part, you disparage yourself.
And don't forget, "I forgot" don't do
in business.
LET THE LINDBERGHS ENJOY
THEIR IiABY IN PEACE.
That was a pitieous appeal made
by Cc!. Lindbergh to the press of the
nation Tuesday evening. Another
baby boy had come to them, and im
mediately the wires of the world be
came busy, and a great army of news
gatherers, cameramen and curiosity
seekers began the trek toward the
Morrow home, where the mother and
new-born babe are living. Col. Lind
bergh, knowing full well that it was
due in large measure to the publicity
given his first born that resulted in
the tragic death of the little fellow,
issued a statement Tuesday evening,
pleading with the people to let him
and his wife and his baby alone.
What is the matter with America,
that her citizens who have accom
plished a fortune, cannot live in
peace? After all is said and done,
thero is no news value in the fact
that Anne Morrow Lindbergh has had
another baby. It is no more impor
tant in news value than the brith of
any other baby boy, even in the hum
bles home on the mountainsides of the
Carolina hills or on the plains of
Texas.
Tkis is supposed to be a democracy,
this republic in which we live, yet
there is no Dther nation on earth
where people worship at the shrine
I of wealth or at the foot of the hero
I like thaf witnessed in this land of
. the free and the home of the brave,
j The over-zealous newspapers are
j largely responsible for this state of
' affairs.
1 Mrs. Lindbergh gives birth to a
; baby, and off goes the whole top of
i the pet in America, and reporters go
crazy. Countless millions of women in
| the world have gone down into the
( valley of the shadow, and come up
smiling, with little babes on their
bosoms, just like Mrs. Lindbergh has
done. She was surrounded by every -
. luxury, watched over by the best of
? physicians, attended by the most pro
ficient nurses. Iler act cannot be com
pared in heroism with that of tens of
millions of mothers who #ve brought
human life into this world under cir
cumstances that would chill the heart
of even Col. Lindbergh himself. Our
own mothers, here in these great
mountains, have performed the mir
acle unaided by physicians and un
attended by nurses, and there were
the heroic acts.
Col. Lindbergh and his excellent
wife are just human beings. They are
happy in the birth of their baby. Our
greatest help to them would be to let
them alone, to live and love with their
own. A few silent prayers to Al
mighty God that His great protection
be thrown about the new babe would
be infinitely better for the Lindberghs
than all of our newspaper hip-hur
rahs about the little fellow.
If this publicity continues, the week
will not be ended before there is
another plot being laid to kidnap this
second child of the Lindberghs, and
il' it happens let no one charge the
act up to the 18th amendment and
the prohibition laws. Charge it up to
the infernal newspapers that make
such an ado about the birth of a baby
boy.
TTEIi TIMES SEES' /.V
ALL PARTS OF X AT I OX.
From every direction and in every
day's news dispatches there come the
news of renewed business activities,
of i ;iuiv.plion. of work in manufactur
ing plants, of better prices for farm
. [??<\iucts. We people in Transylvania
?i know what it means for the
oiivcrsU-en interests to resume op
erations. Then let us get a glimpse of
IV' national picture by thinking of
?the fact that in every section of the
<. untry the manufacturing business
is tarting up, putting men back to
, work, and placing new men on the
payroll.
We should not make the mistake,
?v u e\ ,, of a complete re
covery over night. It takes a long
time for a man who has been sick to
fully recover his strength. He must
take good care of himself, watch his
step at every turn. This nation and
I every other nation in the world have
long been sick. The recovery is to b<
much like that of the individual who
has suffered a long illness. The pro
cess of recovery will be gradual, and
care must be exercised all the time.
When the state begins its increased
highway work with the huge sum of
federal money sent into North Caro
lina, added to the renewed activities j
i in private business, then we shall
really feel the beneficial effects of 1
.tinting upon the road to recovery. J
iXTEIi'ESTIXG LETTER
, i'ROM I)R. ZACHARY.
Dr. J. F. Zachary, reared in the .
great mountain section of Cashiers,
and living most of his life since at
taining his majority in the friendly ;
! town of Brevard, and who left here i
.
several months ago to practice his i
profession in Seattle, Wash., has j
! found the Big City a most undesir- j
able place in which to live, and has |
moved to Snoqualmie, Wash., a town
about the size of Brevard. In a most !
| interesting letter to the editor of The
Brevard News Dr. Zachary tells
something of his longing for the
friendly places where folks are folks
and fishing is within easy access of
all
A portion of Dr. Zachary's fine j
letter deals with the liquor question, I
for he has long been an advocate of
prohibition, a real church worker, and
one of the best citizens this town ev?r
claimed. In telling about his removal
from Seattle to Snoqualmie, Dr. Zach
ary say3;
"I had a good place there in normal
times, but the office overhead was so
much that I decided that somebody
else would have to worry as to wheth
er the owners of the building as well
as the gas and phone companies pay
dividends or not. My office telephone
was $10.00 per month with rent and
other overhead in proportion. Living
expenses are low there but business
operation is terrible.
This place is a combination of three
little towns, with a total population
about that of Brevard. There is a tre
mendous saw rail! here with a ca
pacity of 500,000 feet a day when
full time. At the present thoy are way |
down but they won't always be that!
way. The surrounding country is a i
rich farming and dairying region, i
1 am too much of a hill billy to have !
to dodge city traffic. The folks about '
here are the kind I think most of? !
countrymen.
This section is known as the S-io- !
qualine Valley. It is about thirty !
miles long but not as wide or pre^
ty as the French Broad. For that
matter few arc as beautiful as that.
The river is larger than the French
Broad and runs within 200 yards oi
my office. It is full of fish, so you
see I'll be satisfied on that score. The
entire section is dotted with natural
lakes and there is a good trout stream
over every ridge. The Snoqualmic
falls are only a half mile below town.
It is a wonderful thing. Has a sheer
drop of 270 feet and you can get steel
head .trout, salmon or what have you
at the fool.
I went to one of the near by lakes
last Sunday p. m. and tried to learn
to swim. The most noticeable results
of the effort were high water, when
I got into the lake and a nice case
of sunburn on yours truly. Also, I was
' nearly as stiff and sore Monday as
you were after falling of the moun
tain up at the Narrows towards Glou
cester two years ago. One fellow told
I me that he did not see how I could
I sink since fat is supposed to float,
I but it must have been my feet that
! pulled me under. The people here are
i nsolutely dippy on swimming. When
|!b? time comes they just about quit
j work and live at the beaches. There
?are oi>!y eight or ten weeks when the
water is warnj enough. The weather
i is not cold, but there is so much snow
:n the mountains it takes it a long
1'imf to melt, when spring does come.
I So loner as snow water is running into
i the streams they are too cold for
i swimming.
] The sun does not get very hot here
[fill th<> coast and the nights are cool
: enough to call for two or more blank
ets. It does not get cold in winter, due
lo the Japanese current that runs up
t he coast.
i * think I will enjoy the hunting out
here too. The mountains are full of
fleer and bear, although 1 have not
lof-t any bear, and the valleys are
I ' hick with birds, most Chinese pheas
ant-. They find them in their yards
? i>iht here in town, except during
j ? pen season.
! Dr. Zachary, active in Masonic cir
| cles here for years, is finding much
? cm fort and consolation in the Ma
! .''-lie field in his new home. As to
! hs? phaso <>r life in thi- State of
hington, lie says:
"This immediate section is very
much given to Masonic and Kastorn
.??.tar activities. There are more mem
bers i.f each to the population than
. any place I ever heard of and that
' .? it won't make me think any the
less of them.
1 suppose you are all busy while
the tourists and camps are there. 1
always enjoyed the hustle and activi
ty that went along with that season.
I would surely like to be with you
for awhile. One thing I would en
! joy would be to go up to Roy's or
: Mack's and get a real, honest to good
i ness Coca Cola. The people here think
| about a< much of a "dope" as they
i would shoe blacking, and, after drink
just one of the kind they serve, I can't
! --ay they are to be blamed. The on
; I drank reminded me of my boyhood
' days in the long ago when I mixed
sorghum lasses with water and tried
to drink it.
Dr. Zachary's comments on the
: liquor question are most timely, and
I should Ix* read by all people, mor"
, especially by the young people in thr
community where the well known den
tist was so dearly beloved and had
|so many friends. He paints a picture
J that should be a warning to all who
I are so anxious to rush into repeal of
j the prohibition laws. It is hoped that
all young men and women in the
homes where The Brevard Xcws is
j received will read and study Dr. Zach
ary's statements on this all important
question. He says ?
"I suppose the top has long since
blown off the political pot down
there. I was slightly surprised at the
result of the North Carolina State
Primary. Still, I suppose one can't
blame the voters who are not old
enough to remember the days when
liquor was on top in every block
They have certainly had to read and
hear enough filthy propaganda in the
past few years to make ther.i believe
every saloon owner and bartender in
the past ha<l a 'diploma for Sundaj
school and Church attendance a? well
as Missionary contributions, Lay
service, Prayer leading and most i
everything else sacred and fine
tacked upon the wall behind the bar.
The sad part of it is that it looks as
if they are going to fix things so
that they will learn better three bit
ter experiences, watered with oceans
of tears and learned with the destitu
tion of Myrids cf children and wives
whose husbands and fathers visit the
"liquor store" under government
control with wage envelopes in their
pockets on pay day. However, I sup
pose we can comfort ourselves with
the old, old saying "truth crushed to
earth shall rise again." I feel that it
won't take very long for legal liauor
mixed with the gasoline of millions
of cars upon the concrete roads of
this country to so 'smear the blood of
innocent people upon those same
roads that the present cry for, will
turn into a savage warfare against,
booze. It may be wrong, but "turns
my sentiments."
"Well, I think I have rambled along
far enough. Please tell C-. M. to
change his paper to my new address
too, will you.
Mrs. Zachary and the children are
well. The youngsters have been husk
ier than ever before since we came
west.
Give my regards to your family and
try writing me a letter. I read your
sooth sayings in the paper every week
and enjoy them but I would appre
ciate a direct communication.
Sincerelv,
J. F. ZAOHARv.
