Sunday Movies Being Talked Pro And Cob By People In Transylvania County ••Will Prevail have Sunday movies and baseball?" is a question that is attracting much at cm ion here, with proponents and opponents of the question seemingly evenly divided.

Proponents of the move here, act ing along the line of Hendersonville, are of the opinion that Brevard v/i'd be forced to allow- Sunday movies in "self defense.” while others who are against the idea say that the com munity will not lose as much tourist business as by remaining ‘•closed" it would athunvi.se. Messrs. Frank D. and Verne (" ment, operators of the lloaiwn Th. tre, state that they do not wish t open the theatre on Sunday, and wi" do s i only v.'h r. the nubiic donut!)-1 grows to such proportion ‘hat the will be forced o accede to such wish es.
