NEW DEALQUART ON
SALE IN COMMUNITY
Night Policeman Church Morris
brought what he termed a "New
Deal" quart bottle to The Times of
fice Tuesday night, the receptacle
exuding an aroma that bespoke well
the last duty it had performed, sup
posed to hold nn'.y 28 ounces instead
of the regulation 32.
A statement could not be obtained
from one of the town's leading dis
pensers of joy water as to the cost
or selling price of the "new deal"
or "short" quart, but it is presumed
it is at least 25 cents under the
price cf two full pints, be that what

One Brevard Merchant Joining Move
To Help In National Recovery Program
"NRA Trade Expansion Jubilee,"
being staged in practically every
town in Western North Carolina for
three days, Thursday, Friday and I
Saturday of this week, is being par-j
tieipated in by one department store j
here, the R. H. Plummer & compa-j
ny store on Broad street.
It is the general idea of the trade i
expansion jubilee to keep step withf
the president's plan of recovery, the
consumer being asked to buy nowj
in order' to clear the shelves of the)
merchants, who in turn will neces-i
sarily have to purchase more from j
the manufacturer, and on down the j
line, giving increased employment (
and a more general circulation of !
money 1
As an extra incentive for the
consumer or purchaser, the local
department store that is cooperating
with patriotic merchants of other
towns in this section of the state, is
sel'ing merchandise at a fair profit
on the price paid for the goods, not
a profit cn the price of the same
goods if th 'y were being bought and
Piaced on the shelves today. Mr.
Plummer showed a representative of
Th Tim<s invoices for 'ar
tides that he is offering' for the
three days, these goods bought two
and three months ago, ar.d then in
turn showed invoices of goods that
will be used to restock his shelves
after the present stock is exhausted.
In each instance the' restock invoices
to the R. H. Plummer & company
store is higher than the price he is
getting for the goods at present,
Robert Plummer, manager 01 the
Plummer store on Broad street,
states that he is not wanting to hold
his goods for the increased price
that will come wichin a month or so,
but is wi ling to sell what he has in
stock at a fair profit now, with the
prices on new goods that are to
come in later naturally having to be
raised due to increased labor and
raw material costs.
Wide-awake merchants of Hender
sonville and Asheville are staging a
trade expansion jubilee also these
three days, and are inviting trade
from Brcva-d and Transylvania, us
ing the advertising columns of The
Times, to come and !ook over the
va'ues they are offering, after first
visiting the local ?tore that is keep
ing step with th? general movement
for recovery of np.tibnal prosperity

cilities for the transportation of J

I ed by toe varirous counties and other
| local subdivisions of government
shall be vested in the state 'of North
Carolina under the direction and su
pervision i,f the State School com
mission. Authority is hereby given
the State Schocl commission in ad
dition to the provisions of this act;
to make such ru'es and regulations

economical operation of the school
transportation system.
'JSchool vehicles used in transpor
tation of school children shall be in
spected each thirty days and a

ty board of education.
"The transportation of ajl school
children in Transylvania county is
under the State commission. The
State School commission has au
thority to approve or disapprove in
whole or in part the bus routings."
One new school bus, to be used on
the Toxaway route, and several re
pair jobs of major nature have been
effected within the past few weeks,!
putting the Transylvania transpor-J
tation in fair shape.
