MERRY, MERRY
CHRISTMAS TO
ALL Ul'R FRIENDS
To our hundreds of subscribers,
our excellent correspondents through
out the county, and to our business
friends, all of whom have joined in
making the past year one of pleas
antness, we say “Merry Christmas
to you.’’
The year has been pleasant in'
many, many respects for 1 he T ran- j
sylvania Tim s, with unpleasant-;
ne*s being practically nil. Of course!
we have pulled a few “boners” and:
havt done some things that could j
just as w ell have been left undone, j
but we have tried hard to do our;
very bsst, and we have had lots of j
real, kindly, helpful aid in doing'
cur little bit of good.
We apologize to anyone r.ght r.ow •
for anything, in any way, that was
in the least way out of place, and
ask that the Christmas Spirit help
you to be forgiving and forget-ting
!ike>. Herewith, also, along with our
apology, is our promise to do bet
ter.
The year nas oeen pretty uaiu
on many ol’ us, in fact most of us
.. .but it is gone... .Christmas is
here, the time of the year when we
are all willing and eager to start
out with new heart, with a new
spirit. The future DOES look
lots brighter, and we are going to
tnjoy the good things a lot more by
reason of the fact that we have lived
in the year 1938 and started out
better after Christmas.
Again, Merry, Merry Christmas
to all.
Several people have asked The
Times to say something in regard
to landlords renting houses to folks
in Brevard when the landlord most
surely knows his renters are selling
bootleg and otherwise doing dis
reputable things. We don’t know
what to say about such things, that
is we don't kn. w how to put if in
print. Wo suggest that people in the
neighborhood take it upon them
selves to see that such nuisances
are put out by law, after being de
clared such. We understand there is
provision made for such cases.
Still, we wonder why a man will
push questicnahle characters off on
to a good neighborhood.
Julian Miller advocates all ex
service men staying at home when
Congress meets; arguing that anoth
er “bonus march" will not get the
fellows anywhere. He’s partly right,
at least. Let the rank and file stay
at heme, but be sure and send a
couple of good representatives to
lock after their end. We can’t see
any real good reason for not paying
the boys off right now, getting that
much money in circulation and at
the same time stopping the interest.
Looks like a good thing all-around,
for both the boys and the govern- ’
ment.
Something's dead up the creek in
tho tobacco market, judging from
the prices that are being paid on the
Asheville and Tennessee markets.
From three to five cents difference
in the price paid last year makes one
vender who’s got a finger in the
pie. "Cooperative market” would
mean that buyers are cooperating
with each other rather than with
the farmers, don’t you know.
Quite a number of subscribers
have come in within the past few
days and paid their subscriptions
“just to help with a little Santa
Claus.” Thanks, good people-tell
your friends who failed to help San
ta Claus that “Happy New Year” is
just around the comer.
Wonder if the grand jury really!
meant just what they said about
the county jail in their report last
week—“prisoners well satisfied, “We
understand that Sheriff Tom Wood
is pretty decent to the fellows who
find thtmselves in his hotel next
morning, and we know for a certain
ty that Mrs. Tom knows when and
how good food should be prepared,'
but still we wonder if the fellows
really are "well satisfied.”
There isn’t much thrill in success
unless one has first been close t >
failure. . '<
NOTHING DEFINITE
IBOUT BI,G DAM
Statement by Dr. A. E. Morgan,
lead of the Tennessee Valley Au
hority is to the effect that there is
lothing as yet to get excited about
n the French Broad dam business.
The following statement for The
Hendersonville Times-News tells of
bis stand:
The Tennessee Valley Authority
has up to this time given no .con
sult ration to the development 0, ihe
French Broad Valley and before
any such program i? undertaken all
th * res: urces and pcsslbi 1:ties of
this section, including agriculture,
scenic beauty, recreational and re
sort possibilities will be fully stud
ied by competent engineers and
other exports, an advisory committee
of Menders-n county citizens report
ed today upon their return front
Knoxville where they were granted a
private conference with Dr. A. F.
Morgan, chairman of TVA.
Dr. Morgan stated specifically
that TVA has never reached the
conclusion nor hit* it authorized an^
cne to announce for it that a
storage basin will bo created in the
Fisr.ch Broad Valley, members of
the ci mmittec said. This, it. was be
lieved, will set at rest current re
ports that a huge dam is to be con
structed near Asheville for the pur
pose of st ring water over a vast
territory in Henderson, Transylvania
and Bunombe counties for use at
Muscle Shoals At a meeting held
Wednesday evening at Mills Kner,
1 e-'olutiors against such a develop
ment were adopted and an orgam
7 at ion formed to oppose the move
ment which supposedly was being
favorably regarded by 1VA
In its report today, which was in
the nature of a fo."mal statement
submitted to The Times-News the
emunitt: e said that Dr. Morgan will
come to Hendersonville at an eaUj
date to address a mass meeting,
and un'il such time the committee
urge” the local public to reserve
judgment on the entire program.
A valued subscriber to The limes
and one who never fails to conic in
and pav just before Christmas time
is Capt. J. M. Blythe of the Penrose
section. Mr. Biythe says he enjoys
reading the home paper, and he d cs
hi9 reading without glasses despite
his ninety years.
The spirit of good chcev will Per
vade if we let it....we have just
lots of things that ought to make
us glad, happy, and hopeful. Not a
lot of money, certainly not hut
money isn’t everything. ■ • aren l yc.u
feeling good, have fine friend- a
home to live in, your loved ones
about you. “Be of good cheer.
Congressman up in New lock
state advocates a boycott again't
whiskey in order to bring the price
down. Suits us, if the whole United
States declares a boycott again*
the high price and cheap stuff at
the same time.
“Grandpa” will say to the young
sters in the depression of 1952,
“Shucks, son, you don’t know noth
ing-back in 1933*** -!!!!’’
The Caskeen Proof Sheet, and let *
hope that we are to be able to for
get it like that
If B.B. White and Carl Allison
can raise hogs like they have this
year, we see no reason for folks
living in the country having to be
short on meat.
You’d think from the way the
debtor-nations have been paying and
not paying Uncle Sam that all the
fellows were combining to get the
Reverend Uncle’s Goat. As a banket
the U. S. is a poor collector.
One blessing that comes to a
poor man is the fact that he doesn t
have to worry about buying an au
tomobile tag right at Christmas
time.
0 gee-gosh! The Tryon Daily Bul
letin apologizes because they could
only print eight pages on Friday...
didn’t have time...hope the same
bug trys biting us.

Announcing
;w FORD V
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
^■1 mm
The New Ford V-8 for1934 is nowon display at the showrooms of Ford dealers. Surpassing
even the great Ford of1933 in economy, beauty and comfort, it is truly the car of this mod
ern age—the culmination of thirty years Fordprogress. It combines the proved performance
of the V-8 cylinder engine with two important new features—Dual Carhuretion and
perfected Clear-vision Ventilation. See this car today and drive it at the first opportunity.
OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEW FORD V. 8
SETTER PERFORMANCE. Greater power,
new speed, quicker acceleration, smoother per
formance, more miles per gallon especially at
higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold
weather—all these result from the new dual car
buretor and dual intake manifold. New water
line thermostats enable the engine to warm up
more quickly and to maintain an efficient oper
ating temperature. Added engine refinements
reduce oil consumption, further improve operat
ing economy and reduce maintenance costs.
N£W' VENTILATION SYSTEM permits clear
vision, prevents drafts and provides desired
amount of fresh air in any weather. Individual
control for front and rear side windows, when
ventilation is desired the window glass is raised
to the top. Then the handle is given an addi
tional half-turn. This slides the glass back
horizontally to form a narrow slot. Through
this slot air it drawn out by the forward motion
of the car. This simple ventilation system main
tains draft-free circulation, insures passenger
comfort, prevents fogging windshield in cold or
stormy weather. Both windshield and cowl ven
tilator can be opened to supply additional air
needed for comfortable warm-weather driving.
DISTINCTIVE NEW APPEARANCEtuhiactd
by the newly designed chromium-plated radiator
shell and grille, new hood louvres, new hub caps.
Interiors are attractive, with new tuftrd uphol
stery, new mouldings, new cove-type headlining,
new instrument panel, new arm rests, new hard
ware. Swivel-type sun visors in De Luxe bodies
prevent glare from front or side.
PENDERS IN COLOR. On De Luxe cars fend
err are in color to harmonite with body colors
— wheel colors optional. New enamel finish on
ail bodies and fenders has greater wearing qual
ity and more enduring luster.
GREATER RIDING COMFORT results Aron
increased spring flexibility. The spring leaves are
newly designed for quieter and easier action.
Shock absorbers are improved. Seat cushions are
deeper, with new, softer springs. New type,
individual bucket seats provide increased comfort
for front-seat passengers in the Tudor Sedan.
Adding to comfort is the new driving ease of the
15-to-l steering gear ratio. a*
