WANTS HELP OF ALL
FOLK FOR VETERANS
Editor The Times:
The United States Senate will be
the target of a nation-wide campaign
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
the United States during the next
few weeks according to_ information
from headquarters in Kansas City,
Mo We were advised to use our in-i
fluence in a local campaign for send-,
ding individial letters or telegrams to
Senators R. R. Reynolds and Jnsiah
\V Bailey demanding the passage ot
H.' R. I., the bonus bill, which was
adopted by the house March the 12th |
bv a vote of 295 to 125. The house
passed H. R. I. by more than two
thirds majority necessary to over
come the president’s threatened veto.
The peonle of your county should
demand the passage of H. R- I- th«
bonus bill. Our immediate object is
an overwhelming victory in the sen
ate. One so decisive that the white
house should withdraw its opposition
and permit the will of the people as
expressed by the United States con
gress. The passage ot this bill will
give the ex-soldier an equal chance
with those that have already received
their bonus such as railroads, etc.
Congress finally decided a similar in
debtedness should be acknowledged ^
its veterans as does the general pub
'°if this debt is deferred till 1N^' »
outlined according to these certifi
cates there will be move than a mil
lion of the men to whom the money
is due dead. Already nearly ive
hundred thousand have died: most ot
the remaining thousands will have
nothing coming after l94o as the
compound interest accruing on these
loans of those who have borrowed will
have eaten up all that is let • It th
pemde • t’ th country will write in
without delay they can hr of great
service to their count»*y.
Respectfully.

LOCAL INSTITUTION
WILL BE HIGH TYPE
(Continued from pzgc one) |
exclusive of certain miner inci-;
dentals. The tuition fee is to be j
fixed at a low figure and charges j
for board and room will be placed,
on an actual expense basis. The
college does not expect to use its
boarding department for the purpsse
om making money, it was stilted.
Provision will be made for the
student to reduce even these low ex- (
ponses by n system of self-help i
which will be worked out and put j
into operation when the college
opens early in September. Students,
wh' desire to work will have the |
opportunity. A large farm is to be,
conducted in connection with the
operation of the college, and this
will afford various projects on which j
student-.- may work.
“In this connection, said the i
president, "it is expected that the,
plan for self-help now being ooer-j
ated so successfully in Berea College
in Kentucky and in the Berry
schools in Georgia will be adapted to
the situation at Broward college and
followed on an extensive scale. In
this way it is hoped that students
will be ‘ able in the near future to
reduce greatly the charges for room
and board.”
Although under the control ot tne
Western North Carolina conference
I of . the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, Brevard college will not be a
! sectarian institution but will bo
i pm to students of all religious de
' nominations. The principles of Chris
'tian culture will permeate the life
:rf the institution but no effort will
i be made to indoctrinate students with
any particular religious faith, it was
: explained. , ...
The president indicated that de
mands of students for certain kinds
. of special training will have due con
1 sidention. To that end courses in
, ommercial ubjects, home economics
■for girls, practical arts for bo vs.
llU,sic. religious education and others
' will be provided.

RAMSEY SPEAKER AT I
CIVIC CLUB MEETING

Women To Sponsor Hospital
Day Here Saturday As
Special Enterprise
Interesting and enlightening farts'
concerning Lyday Memorial Hospital,1
Inc.. Brevard’s community hospital,
were given by R. H. Ramsey in an ad
dress at the meeting of the Women's
Civic club held Monday afternoon at
the Brevard elementary school audi
torium.
The fact was pointed out bv Mr.
Ramsey that the local hospital is a
community enterprise, receiving aid
from the Duke Foundation. It was in
corporated as a community hospital
in 1933, and there are r.ow seven
trustees, citizens of the county, form
ing the governing body of the insti
tution. The present trusters include:
R. H. Ram°ey, chairman, Miss Flor
ence Kern, Mrs. S. P. Verner, H. N.
Carrier, A. M. White, Miss Jeannette
Talley and T. A. Berg.
It was brought out by Mr. Ramsey
that during the period of May 1 to
, December 1. 1933, there were 213
patients and 10G operations perfnrm
! od at the hospital. Out of this num
ber there were only five deaths, and
the majority of these were consider
ed inevitable from the time of the en
trance of the patients in the hospi
tal. Six different doctors made u“t
of the hospital facilities. Use of the
hospital is open to all accredited phy
sicians, it was stated.
The hospital equipment is valued ai
$10,500 by- Duke auditors, and i:
; considered equal to that oi other hos
pitals tin Western North Carolina
with the X-ray machine rated bet
ter than found is some .institution:
of this section.
| There are 19 beds in the hospital
! 16 for white people ard three fo
I colored. The hospit.al staff include
; at present the superintendent, Mis
: Georgia Brer.del, one graduate nurse
‘Miss Dillard, one under-graduat
I nurse. Mrs. Curry, a cook, order!;
land laundress.
! in touching on the financial sid
! of the situation, it was disclosed b;
! Mr. Ramsey that the community hos
i pita! is at present on a much bet
ter paying basis than formerly. Tb
i Duke aid is of considerable assistanci
i in the expenses, but the fact wa
| stressed that the hospital is operate!
; on a strictly non-profit basis, nil o
; t he trustees and governing body o:
I the enterprise performing their duties
1 without any remuneration whatever
Any surnlus derived from patient:
- f, es is put hack into the hospital an<
I applied on the charity expense ac
count. „ ., .
It iva* urged by Mr. Ramsey that
the people of the community visit the
hospital oftcncr. inspect the equip
ment. get acquainted with the s.aft,
attend the trustees’ meetings 'and ex
amine the hooks of the institution if
desired and try to feel a part of and
an interest in the community hospi
l l The observance of annual hospital
day with open house to be held at the
local hospital Saturday afternoon of
this week from 2 to 5 o’clock, was em
phasized, extending a cordial invita
tion to the public to attend.
•\ short business session, presided
over by the dub pfl:-*id>nt, Miss
Florence Kern, was held preceding
the program.
HOMElOAN MONEY
. IS NOW AVAILABLE
WASHINGTON, May 10 — Sonv
MOO,009,000 of now money has be
come available under the home own
ers loan act for modernization and
new building of Americ.'.i homes.
Relatively unnoticed in the empha
sis given plans for stimulating the
private 1 itding of lponey for home
renovation, (his actual new money is
provided under amendments to the
act providing $200,000,000 for mod
ernization and $100,000,000 for ex
pansion of federally chartered loan
agencies.
John F. Fahey, chairman of the
Home Owners Loan corporation, ex
plained the^e amendments today, in
which he said the $200,000,000 may
provide employment of 125,000 men
for a year or more.
The $100,000,000 may be subscribed
to the capital of federal savings and
loan acsociations. jyhicb are building
and loan associations operating under
federal charter. Building and loan
associations now privately operated
may convert to the federal charter if
they wish to get some of this money.
Other important changes made by
the amendments are guarantees of
both principal and interest on new
bonds of the corporation, restriction
of loans to distressed home owners
who were in default on June 13, 1933,
or whose default at a later date has
been due to circumstances beyond
their control; prohibition of unau
thorized charges by anyone against
applicants for loans, and provision
for the purchase of home loan bonds
for the home owners loan corporation.
Interest on new bonds of the cor
poration will be three per cent as
compared to four per cent on the old
bonds which may be exchanged for
the new bonds during.a period of six
months. Interest, not principal, was
guaranteed on the old bonds, while
both are guaranteed by the govern
ment on the new bonds. Officials ex
FRENCH BROAD DAM
NOT BE BUILT SOON
(Continued frorr pas: one)
ate indication that the dam will be
built to create a storage reservoir for
water to be used in connection with
the Tennessee Valley power develop- i
tnent now underway.
As a matter of fact, Dr. Morgan!
was quoted as saying no appropria-;
tion has been made for construction;
wc:k in the trench Broad valley; the]
valley is not absolutely essential to the
Tennessee project, other basins being
available, and because of the enormity
of the entire project it is impossible
to say if or when development will
be undertaken in this section.
“There is absolutely no reason for
the people of your section being ap
prehensive as it is the policy of the
TVA to strive for favorable reaction
and results in any territory which it
enters," Dr. Morgan said. "If this
statement is doubted, you are of
course at liberty to interview land
owners and other citizens in those re
gions in which we are operating with
respect to prices paid for property
that is condemned and the benefits
that are accruing and wlil accrue. My
information is that they are all well
pleased. If we come .to your section
it will be with the intention of work
ing in cooperation, rather than in
conflict, with local interests.”
While unable to get a definite
, commitment from Dr. Morgan on just
what may or may not he done in the
French Broad valley, the c-mmitt;
feels that the contact with the head
of the authority and with Carl A
Rock, assistant chief engineer, wlv
sat in the conference, was extremelj
valuable. Tins contact win c -i
tinued if or when it. appears that the i
TV A is contemplating activity in this’
section. For the present, the commit-1
tec is not agitated by reports that thet
aerial survey is an indication of cer-,
tain activity looking toward the crea-j
tion of a storage basin in the French j
Broad. Valley, this survey having I
been a part of the original piars for )
the larger Tennessee valley project i
and is certain that if anything nrre,
is done it will he only after careful |
consideration of the wishes of the,
people of thi-' section. While some
members of the committee feel that
the dam will in time he built, others
■ are a? fully convinced that the gov
ernment will call a halt to large ex-,
penditurcs for projects of this nature
' long before the TVA gets around to
this particular phase of development..
| Attending the conference yesterday;
were T. L. Durham, chairman of the;
i board of county commissioners; A. v.(
. Edwards, mayor of Hendersonville;
Judge J. Foy Justice, F. A. Ewbank
, and Brownlow Jackson.

PRINTING
that is up to a standard
and not down to a price
*
With the adoption of a Code of Fair Practice for the
printing industry throughout the United States, the
matter of competitive price cutting in the industry was
eliminated.
Printing in Brevard is now a price level with that in
other cities throughout the State.
Printing, now, must be built up to a new standard
and not down to a low price.
Send your printing to the Transylvania Times where
printing is—and has been for years—built to a stand
ard of excellence that remains unchallenged.
