OLD AGE PENSION
IS NOT BAD IDEA
This newspaper can see a great
deal of geed in the proposed legisla
tion providing pensions for the aged;
to take care of those who have
passed the period in life when they
ran no longer compete with the
young and hopeful in gainful oc
cupations. i X;
Then, too, if a man has been any
man at ail, he is deserving of some
recognition from the younger set
when he has attained the ago of 05,
which seems to be the age that is
being forwarded for retirement from
activities of life by proponents of
the measure.
Just how it is to be worked out,
just hew the “insurance” plan, if
such it be, is to be worked, is for
bigger brains than ours, but we want
to add our word of commendation to
the idea.
NAMpS MUST HE
SIGNED TO LETTERS
Twice this week letters have been
returned to writers with a regretful
note attached that they could not
be published in The Transylvania
Times unless real name of the writer
appeared along with the letter in
print.
We are not doing this in effort to
seem prudish, but as a matter of
policy. Statement was made in the
first issue of the Transylvania
Times under the present manage
ment two years ago that this rule
would be adhered to and our rea
sons for such a rule then given.
We want all our readers to give
expression to their ideas through
this newspaper, and invite such, but
in no instance will we publish a let
ter unless the writer’s name appears
in print along with the letter.
'"urday ...gnl JWVRMRljl Inga* M
haps the town is getting better, af
ter all. Xl
Clyde Erwin, of Rutherfordton, is
on the state textbook commission, and
if he is a? level headed as those who
know him well say he is, he will
vote “no” when the eternal question
of changing textbooks comes up.
Well, we don’t know whether the
suggestion made la>t week in The
Tmes to the effect that a different
brand of whiskey be sold over the
week-end here, but there were three
lights that we heard tell of.
lust try a little bragging on the
next fellow you run into and see
'u w quickly he will respond. Seems
to us there is entirely too much of
the ‘why don’t you do thusly”
• around ar.d not enough of the ‘‘you
are doing fine stuff."
We just wonder why it is that
Transylvania county was left out of
the s< il erosion work that is bring
started in several Western North
Carolina counties. One fellow has
suggested that there was no need to
d» erosion work when the valleys
would soon be covered up with water
from the big dam down near Ashe
ville. Truth of the matter is, we just
plain don’t know.
Seems like our good friend Zeb
Weaver kind of lay down on us—
what with putting the fish hatchery
way over yonder somewhere in the
Smoky Mountains National Park.
Guess it is hard to please everybody,
but we had our hearts so set on the
fish hatchery that it’s hard to think
of it going to another section.
“Good man gone wrong’’ is about
all we can say about that fine fel
lt w over in Hendersonville that the
people all call Noah. Regarded as
the best Chamber of Commerce sec
ts tary in all of Carolina, Mr. Kol
lowell now stands to lose more
friends right around his door than
he has lost all his life. Reason we
say he’s “gone wrong" is because we
firmly believe Ncah will do RIGHT
as Civil Works administrator, and
that won’t suit n-tall, or we miss
our guess.
• ____
Folks who wonder why it is that
the county is slow in paying bills
could find the information if they
tried to the effect that exactly one
half of the taxes for the past four
years have been paid in. Sounds
a fact, nevertheless

TIRED OF MOTHERi
READ THIS POEM
Not because we’re no sentimental,
but just lor the sake of doing a
little good as we pass along, we are
carrying in ^tbiq column a| poem,
taken from *rue life by the Rev.
M. R. Harvey of Cherryville, N. C.,
and handed to this paper by one of
our readers. Young folk, especially, ^
are pointed to this true story with |
the hope that such fate will never (
befall the one they call "Mother.”
It was when a north-bound Southern,1
Stopped in High Point late one
night.
That an aged helpless mother,
Furnished there a pitiful sight,
Dying on a cot so ragged,
She was lifted from the train.
Not a single piece of baggage,
Could this aged mother claim.
Loved ones there did greet each
other,
Laughters loud with joy were
heard,
But no one to mert this mother,
Cculd it be, nobody eared?
Did they know that she was coming.
Did the sender notify?
Or is this a plan of turning
Mother out to grieve and die'
She was carried to the depot,_
Where she patiently did wait,
I For some loved one there to meet
her; ....
But in vain she tarried late.
Then an officer did question,
As. he diew up near the cot,
“Mother, who are you expecting,
l Don’t vou guc's they have lor
got?”
I Now the name, “Unwanted mouiei,
She did then and there obtain;
For some reason then or other,
No one ever, for her came,
Yes she was once young and wel
come, , , . ,
By her loved ones and he- friends,
But she now is old and helpless.
None on whom she can depend.
i “Phone the Board of Public Wel
fare.” „ ....
From the lips of someone fell.
Soon a taxi cab was sent there,
| Carried her to a hotel,
1 Turned away, she was not taken,
Had no room for such as she,
Friendless, penniless, forsaken,
1 Where could all her loved ones be?
' “The hosnital,” was suggested,
1 And they carried her down there;
1 Some one’s mother, just neglected,
l Some one. surely did not care.
u was to the Guilford General
I She- was taken late that night, ,
Sadness, almost like a ^uncrA j
CJose accompanied that Mgnx.
, “Will you
Isoon the whistles were a-blowing,
; Men began to rise and stir.
Then this m ther awoke, just kno
Scme'one soon, would come for
1 hEV- . *■
, Blighted was her expectation,
When she learned they would net
come;
j “We have made investigation. fi
j You’re not wanted in their heme.
1 “Aie some of my people coming.
A ktd the mother, with a tear;
! “No,” the answer, soon ietui*ning,
i “Von will have stay up here.”
Thin she smiled, right in her sor
row;
1 “They are all so good to me.
! And knew not, that on the morrow,
With the ar.gels, she would be.
“Grandma arc you trusting Jesus?”
Asked a minister: and then,
] Down her cheeks rolled tears so
freely, ,
As she grasped rhe preachers
hand.
“Yes, I’m trusting Jesus, brother,
O I wish that 1 could die,
Then I’d see niv precious mother; j
, She wculd meet me m the sky.
j “Grandma, we must now be going,
I “Shall I kneel and offer prayer.
| “j’!) be glad.’1 And tears kept flow
ing.
While 'the minister knelt there.
I Then he asked that God might take
She whom loved ones had refused,
.Jesus said, He’d not forsake her,
How she welcomed this good nn\s. |
On the first day ot uecemoei,
Nineteen hundred twenty-seven, j
Grandma’s soul, so precious tender,
Took a special train for Heaven.
She went riding in a palace.
Swiftly passed the Milky Way, j
Leaving those who were so carets,
In whose heme she could not stay.
See her reach the Union Station
With the millions standing round,
Hear the glorious acclamation,
’Gainst the Heavenly arches sound.
Happy welcome there was given.
When her train came to a stop,
For she did not go to Heaven,
On a worn-out, ragged cot.
“Come ye blissed of my Father,
I’ve prepared for y°u® P™e* ,
Ycu are not. ‘Unwanted Mother,
I’ve redeemed you by my grace ^
This shall be your home forever,
Think I heard the Savior say,
I will turn you out, NO NEVER!
You will ever with Me stay.
Fidelity bought will sell again.

Work More With Materials At Hand
And Live Happier Says Mr. Allison
....
Editor The Times:
Instead of waiting on the Govern
ment for something that ia in the
future and probably will never de
velop, why do we sit supinely idle
when there is so, mueh work ready
to our hands for the coming crop
year? Food must be made, and until
the work is actually begun on flood
ing the valley, why not see that
crops are put in.
Work should be started on the
farms now. There is plowing, grub
bing, clearing ditch banks, planning
the sort of crops that we are to
plant, making ready, for the actual
planting when the time comes. This
is past the middle of January. Are
wc to wait until planting time is on
us before making preparations? Too
many are waiting for the littie jobs
that'arc being handed out under the
CWA. which perhaps may never
materalize. And if they do materi
alize, will not last long. Next winter
must be thought of.
The Pioneers of this section made
livings on the same land on which
we are farming. They did not ask
help of the Government, nor of
Charity. They had enough to eat
all times, and clothes for their fam
ilies. We arc getting too used to
running to the stores for our food
in cans, instead of putting the food
into the cans from our farms and
gardens. |
Pasture lands and worn out hillside |
1 ields should be. fenced and turned;
into pasturage for hogs, so that our
supply of meat comes from home in- j
stead of the great packing houses in
northern and western cities. Gov
ernment is advocating the reforesta
tion of the worn-out land, which
should be done and these lands could
still be used for tlie above purposes.
Too much scratching of worn oat
and washed away soil is not maKing
a quantity of corn.
Several acres worked with the ]
same energy that is now being put
into public works would keep an
ample supply of food stuffs for
home use and a surplus for sale..
When all the people are willing to
go to work and earn n living by the
sweat of the brow, living within
their incomes, and lay aside a little
each year instead of going into debt
a little more each season, then and
; then only, in my estimation will we
, have prosperity.
Yours very truly,
W. A. ALLISON
