OUR FOLK APPRECIATE
COURTESY FROM OTHERS
Folk in Transylvania are apprecia
tive of any courtesy shown them,
and we believe that our people will
take extra care to see that the own
ers of Connestee Falls will have no
cause to forget their generous of
fer of throwing that beautiful scene
open to the public without the
nasty sting of charging so much
per head.
Mr. Miller of the Wachovia Bank
has graciously turned the beautiful
falls over to the Brevard Kiwanis
club for the summer-that is, he
is giving our community the privi
lege of using the immediate grounds
for picnic, sight seeing and a place
to take our summer visitors, and
nary a word is to be said about
charges of any kind. Naturally Mr.
Miller expects to sell the property
on which Connestee Falls is located,
as the Wachovia Bank ha< no use
for the several thousand acres of
land that go with the falls, and if
the property about the tails is
damaged by people who are allowed
access, hi. chances lor sale will be
materially lessened.
We believe our folk will show Wr.
Miller ami the Wachovia that his
trust has not been misplaced, and
that we will all go out of our way
to show our appreciation for the
generous treatment that has been
given this section.
This newspaper has been ham
mering for years on the excessive
rates that have been charged to see
the falls, and any number of
tourists have gone away from Bre
va'-d feeling that they had been
gypped after paying such an ex*
cessive tux to see one of the places
of grandeur that had been so wide
ly advertised. Now that we have it,
let’s keep it, and keep it nice.
Did you notice your calendar last
week? March 21st was first day of
Spring, •end we still have no Cham
ber 'of Commerce organization.
“The Holy Bible says world war j
will be declared on April 11, 1934,’’
says a Mr. McRae of California,!
"and last for 732 days.” We’d come j
ju-'t as near believing him if he
were to say that 732 people would,
come in and pay their subscription!
to The Times on April 11.
Insurance companies say we don’t
have an all-time fire department,
hence th - rates are higher-well,
we have noticed that the truck is
there in time to save the house each
time an alarm is turned in, and
that's a lot more than the all-timers!
can say. Fact is, between an all
time fire department and one like
ours that keeps people’s homes from
burning, we take ours,
Well, well, well. Judge Schenek
iuks that any beer sold in North
Carolina containing more than 3.2
percent alcohol is a violation of the
law, and that both the vendor and I
the manufacturer are subject to
lines. Next time you hear about some
ef “that good beer that is more than
3.2” keep right cn going, somebody’s
trying to play you for a sucker.
Thre -year-old boy in Florida
drank an ounce of moonshine whis
key and died within half a day, which
is proof that whiskey is not good for
children.grown-up fellow drank
seme early Saturday night and leftt
a dirty, nasty, ungentlemanly, nig
gardly, uncouth, cheap, filthy, degen
erate bunch of proof of his illness in
i'lont of The Times office-which
is more proof that ye editor has had
to have his last mess of such type
cleaned up on Sunday around his
front door, and as a preventive
measure will sit in the office this
Saturday night with all the lights
off and a shotgun loaded with rock
salt to help the next fellow who does
such a trick, get sobered np in a
hurry.
Inquiries for houses, cottages, apart
ments and for board and room are
being received by The Times office,
and the still-acting secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. There’s pos
sibility of a great season here this
summer that could mean a lot of
cash for everybody. Suppose we in
:er*- a new paragraph in our prayers
tonight something like this...,“And
wc need a Chamber of Commeice
>aaly, help us to wake up.”
INDIANS LIKE
SOME OTHER THINGS
“The Indians are coming! Whoo
pee!”
That’s the term and about the
way the news reached this news
paper two weeks ago, and some there
were who wondered why the paper
didn’t put out an extra to herald
the event. The Indians were sup
posed to have been here Tuesday of
last week, five hundred or more of
them, and this first five hundred
would be joined in Brevard by sev
eral hundred others, later the en
tire band moving on to Washington
where legislation favorable to the
red men was to be sought.
Tuesday came, bright and fair, j
but nary an Indian. Wednesday no
Indians. Thursday no Indians. Fri
day no Indians, and here it is two
weeks later and no Indians as yet.
All of which leads us to say.
“Don’t get excited at every pub
licity seeker that comes along....
there’s generally a dead cat up the
creek somewhere.”
Twenty million copies of the Con
gressional Record are soon to be
wished off on the unsuspecting pub
lic by those fellows who arc “in and
want to go back,” and in the mean
time the federal treasury continues
to go down, the postoffice department
goes down, and the speeches of the
great and mighty explavorators that
*re recorded in the Congressional
Record go down also, (in the waste
basket) .

“Your Silen
Servants"
We commend to all of our customers a splendid and intensely interest
ing feature in the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens under the
heading “Your Silent Servants.” Every housewife who uses electric
service at. all will enjoy, and profit by, reading this article by Delight
Here are a few excerpts just to give you an idea:
“One is fortunate indeed to have servants who work cheaply and ef
ficiently—servants who never grumble, who never have days off when
you need them most, and never get telephone calls. Instead they’re
always on the job, bright and shining.
“Electric appliances are such cheerful-looking things, aren't they’:
They look so gay that one almost regards them as extravagances,
which thev most certainly are not!
“Can you believe that the average customer at the average rate, tiv..
cents a kilowatt hour (The top rate under S. P. .U. residential schedule
No. one is 3 3-4 cents per kilowatt hour), pays only from 42 to 6>»
cents a year to run a vacuum cleaner! Those appliances equipped
with a motor (vacuums, mixers, sewing machines, and so on) use le4>
electrical current than those without, such as toasters and hot pad4,
and even at that, your waffle iron costs only about four cents an hour.”
You will be interested in reading the whole article. Don’t miss it!
