KfflANIS CLUB HEARSMOORE Brevard Musician Delights Club With Piano and Vocal Selection Donald Lee Moore, Brevard musician, entertained the Kiwan- is club at their meeting last Thurs day with several vocal and piano selections, one of which was his own composition. Mr. Moore is recognized in musical circles as a composer of note, several of his numbers having been broadcast over national radio hook-ups. Mayor Ralph Ramsey had charge of the program, and in troduced Mr. Moore, :and Mrs. Lodema Robertson, who spoke of the work the Business and Pro fessional AVoman’s club is doing- in promoting the Girl Scout camp. She asked the cooperation of the Ki-wanis club in conducting the camp along lines that will win national recognition, stressing the fact that Gamp Sapphire, which I is being donated to the Scouts I for ten days, is one of the most modern camp sites that will be .available to any troop this year •in any section of the country. Mrs. Robertson, who is presi dent of the Business and Profes sional AVomen’s club, has been a moving* factor in the Scout work here, and asserted that w’ith the proper cooperation of all citizens, the Girl Scout movement could be put on a plane that would equal any community in the Unit ed States.

McGaw of Hendersonville, was 1 a guest of A. H. Houston. WELFARE WORKERS TO SOLICIT SUPPLIES TWICE EACH WEEK Plans were practically complete AVednesday afternoon by which a concerted drive for foodstuffs to aid needy families will be made twice each week, according to an nouncement of the County Wel fare board. Plans as outlined call for solicitations twice each week of all houses in Brevard, committees being secured to make these house-to-house canvasses. It is pointed out by welfare workers that there are nearly 300 families in the county who are totally dependent on charity for the bare necessities of life, and it is to give each person in the community a chance to help in a small way each week that the plan will be carried out by which any foodstuff that is in the home can be utiliized. Solicitors will be sent into the rural districts each week to pro cure articles of food. This, to- jgether with the amounts received ! in the town of Brevard, and the cash donations that will be given to the solicitors by those who do not find it convenient to give food will, it is believed by the welfare board, relieve at least a part of the suffering. Close check will be made on all applicants for food and supplies and all waste will be avoided. Flour, which was procured by the Red Cross chapter, and which is expected to arrive here at an early date, will supplement the supply of donated food. This food will not be “handed out” in instances where the aplicants are able to do any work, officials point out, but will be paid to the people who can not find other employment, for work, on projects which the board has started on county-owned prop erty, by which method supplies for next winter will be raised and stored. Request is made by the wel fare board that any persons other than the authorized solicitors who a.sk aid of citizens, are to be sent to the welfare organization work ers who will look into their case in order to prevent waste and duplication. CO. TREASURER GEO. M. JUSTUS CALLE^HOME Funeral of Popular Man Attended by Hun dreds of People WAS maiTMloved BY ALL PEOPLE Death Comes After Linger ing Illness of Several Years Time A large throng of people gatli- ered at the Geo. M. Justus hfimet in Brevard on Sunday afternoon to pay their last respects to a man who was counted the friend of all whom he came in contact with. Mr, Justus, who was elected two years ago by the Democratic party as county treasurer, and who was a candidate for election again this time, died at his homo Saturday afternoon after an ex tended illness. A house overrunning and a yard packed full of people listen ed with awed silence while the Rev. J. H, West, pastor of the Brevard Methodist church, of which the deceased man was an active and conscientious member for years, paid a fitting tribute to bis deceased friend, when he likened the life of George Justus to that of Barnabas, who shared the hardships without murmur in Biblical times with St. Paul. Other pastors taking part in the service were the Rev, Paul Hart- sell of Brevard Baptist church; the Rev. J. T. Burt of the Rosman Baptist church, and the Rev. E. E. Y^ates of the Rosman Methodist church. A large number of cars fi'om all sections of the county carried the huge throng of people from the Justus home to Gillespie cem etery, where the last sad rites were held, and where numerous people were heard to comment that never had George Justus been anything but a straightfor ward Christian gentleman, and above all, he was never accused of talking about any person, pay ing strict attention to his own business and doing what he could to make the world better. Pallbearers were Register of Deeds Jess Galloway, Clerk of Court Otto Alexander, Deputy- Sheriff Tom AVood, County Ac countant Alex Kizer, G. W. Galla- more and George Shuford. Kil patrick and Son had charge of fu neral arrangements. Surviving: are the widow, one son, George, Jr., two daughters, Mrs. Frank Scruggs and Mrs. El liott Tinsley, all of Brevard; one brother, Ernest Justus of Brevard, and the following sisters: Mr.s. Hattie Lankford. Greenville; Mrs. Porter Morgan and Mrs. Sue Mor gan, ' Cherryfield; Mrs. Jamo.s Mull, Selica, and ^Mrs. Alice Bridges of Brevard. Death of Mr. Justus recalled to , the minds of many the tragic death of his oldest .son, Frank, a I lad of IG, who was drowned in a I lake near Brevard about this time. I two years ago, this blow to the nearly 60-year-old man, it is thought, helping to hasten his death.
