Drunken drivers and speed demons, especially in our mountain section, shou'd be eradicated by some means. The following letter written by General Mecklenburg in Sunday’s Charlotte Observer is very timely and should be given consideration by all people of the state. To All Traffic Officers and Citizen* of North Carolina: 1 trust you did not overlook the official report on North Carolina traftic accidents for the month of March as announced »rom Raleigh .bowing « to,.l of 7 i killed, as compared with o- in rtbr ■t v and 56 in March of last year. The appalling increase is 50 per cent over the February record and approxi rAiV'imVrcitizensWj Of >11 no'orcb for M.reh, ^'^12SS«W^ tressing because they ’iu k death "T1"fiatn "am loudly not ,' ithe most vigorous activity , nl- i of all traffic officers and law" enforcement agencies to ter on the highways and sheets More severe penalties should be Prov‘m^ for those convicted of. careless and reckless driving; the hlghv™v. p *er should be greatly increased in per sonnel, and a driver’s license law re quiring examination should be «n aC]f the record should continue long getting worse year by year after a while thoughtful persons will hesitate to risk their lives by going on the highways. It is not lair that the citizenship of the state, heavily tax ed now s»d for the last 13 years to pay for the roads, should have to risk their lives in order to use and enjoy them, because of those who have" no regard for life, law or the rights of other people. Have you taken a membership in “Welcome to Brevaxd"? With announcement that the con struction of the State Prison Camp near Calvert is to be started right away, we hereby nominate for the first occupants the fellows who sell liquor to men who beg for work on relief jobs and then spend the money that should go to their families for whiskey. As to the fellows who do the drinking in the aforementioned eases, we suggest a revival of the whipping post. What do YOU think about Sunday movies and baseball? Write and tell us, and we'll tell the rest of the folks for you. i See by The Charlotte Observer that Chairman Jeffress is interested in building a road by the Polk mon ument near Pineville. There are lots folk in Transylvania deeply inter ested in seeing the road by our Me * mi rial Arch Monument completed, and some of the folks down on the Boylston r ad are thinking of pre senting a petition to the State High way Department to either complete the road, provide a sprinkler system to keep the dust down, or e'ose the road to auto traffic. * i Score another point —Those who saw the fine senior class play at the high school lust v.sfck should be con vinced that Brevard doesn’t need a fly-by-night director from Atlanta or some other town to eotne here and put' on an entertainment for us. Beauty part about the matter was too, that all the money, nearly $150.00, stays here instead of going out like it would j if a fly-bv came and put on the show. | Dr. Gregg. American authority on shorthand, says that within a few years everybody witl be using the little hooks and curves instead of long laborious strokes when writing. From the looks of some people’s hand-1 writing around here that style is now in effect. u.RiY STEAL BEING PERMITTED BY MAILS Jpst about as dilty a steal as we know of is the one that the Post Qffice department is permitting to go on through the mails. .We refer to the old age pension graft. One particular case that attracted attention of this newspaper is that of Crayton Lance and his 82-year-old father who live on the Walnut Hollow road. These two old people, living to themselves, have little access to happenings out in the world and there fore are rather poorly informed as to affairs. Barely ekeing out an exist ence with the help of the welfare and the county agencies, these two old folks, unlettered, poor, looking ioi better things, were easy prey for the fine letter which the United States mail brought to them, and seeing a possible chance to get enough to live decently on, dug up a dime each and sent to some guy up north who has been swindling thousands of other j people of like type to these two poor | old Transylvania men with a plausi-, ble story of trying to get a bill through Congress to pay old people a monthly pension. If it were only one letter or a hundred, this might be excusable, but the postal department has been carry ing these letters out by the thous and, and should be indictee), at least by public opinion'for such careless ness, in permitting a steal ol this kind to go on. Actual wording of the letter to the old people gets by the postal laws, but we clafrn that the intent to swindle is there, and as such should be prosecuted. THE HOME OF BREVARD COLLEGE, INCORPORATED This phrase should appear on every bit ol' advertising matter sent out from our fair town from now hence forth as this is one of our greatest assets. The coming of this college will mean much in every way to thi- en tire section and it is up to us to see to it that we do our share in boost ing our institution. Regardless of church denomination every young man and young woman who comes here to school is a potential source of good to our community. The building committee from Bre vard that undertook to raise funds to repair old Taylor Kail has asked J. Daie Ster.tz to act for it in the collecting of pledges made and in securing new pledges. We agieed to put this building in good condition and it is up to us to get in back of this committee and pay our pledges and make new and additional pay ments if necessary to complete our obligation to the Educational Com mission. Mr. Stentz is associated with Captain Bill Fetzer in Camp Sapphire for boys and has an office in the Macfie Drug store and we fee! sure that he would be delighted if many of you would drop in to see him and leave a check for this Bre vard Building Committee’s work. We remind you that Brevard se cured this college on the promise that this work would be done—that means that we must get busy and fulfill our obligation at once. ' AN EDITOR’S LAMENT The editor of a rural weekly un bosomed himself in the following way: “Getting out a high-cla-s family journal is no picnic. If I print jokes folks say I am silly; if I don’t they say I’m too serious. If I publish original matter they say I lack variety; if 1 publish things from other papers they say I’m too lazy to write. If I don’t go to church they say I’m a heath ern; if 1 do go I’m a hypocrite. If I stay in the office, I ought to bo out rustling the news; if I rustle for news 1 am not attending to business at the office. If I wear old clothes they say I’m a sloven; if I wear new ones they say I must be making a a pile of money, or the clothes aren’t paid for. What, in thunderation is a poor edi tor do do anyhow? Like as not some body will say I swiped this article from some other paper. So I did.'’ And here’s one. from the pen of Julian S. Miller—“Government ought to do something for the taxpayer, remarks a politician. It has already. It has just about ruined him.” _ I I “Merchants to Hit Sales Tax,": says headline in a daily newspaper; . . . they have our permission to hit all taxes . . . PROVIDED we can get along without any. Have you noticed the court house lawn recently? Step and take a peek, and we believe you’ll join v.s ip. being proud of this beautiful place. Thanks for the work is due ladies of the Women’s Civic club. Bootlegging business ought to show i an increase within the next few | weeks, what with more government: money coming in to bo spent. i hews of the Week irom Rosman MRS.
