BAPTIST PAGEANT IS
HIGHLY ENJOYABLE
_*
The pageant, “The Rood to a Safe
Tomorrow," given at the Baptist
church Sunday night was a beautiful
and impressive presentation, spon
sored by the Livingston circle.
The pageant depicted in forceful
manner the good influences of the
Sunday school on the children and
youth of today, which in cooperation
with the home, is the sure road to a
safe tomorrow.” The evil forces which
tend to lead children and young peo
ple astray from the right road were
also clearly depicted. A large_"u"}ber
of children, young people
members of the church took part in
the sacred entertainment.
Mrs. W. S- Price and Mrs. George
Simpson directed the pageant. A sil
ver offering was taken for benefit of
the circle in their church improve

Crew of Captain Henry’s Show Boat
Get Close to Radio Public’s Heart
Fan Letters Reveal Surpris
ing Intimacy Between Ad
mirers and the Stars
«1 ISTEN, Maria, you see to It that
I , liary Lou marries Lanny Hobs
quick. Lanny Is a pretty fine-looking
boy to be out among those ' movie
queens. I would write to Mary Lou my
self, because I feel toward her like a
mother, but I’m afraid Bhe’d be of
fended. So you tell her, Maria. It’s your
place to.”
Thus in fan letters such as the above
has Captain Henry’s show boat (heard
every Thursday night over an NBC
network) become an American Insti
tution. It is doubtful If any other pro
gram on the air has such a compelling
power of convincing its followers that
its characters are real.
A radio critic once said: ’’Show boat
la a fascinating program. It has the
cozy feeling of informality like a ’home
talent’ performance.”
informal in icno
That is one ot the secrets of the pro
gram’s success. It is, as the critic said,
’’informal.” It has sometimes the "fee!”
of a home talent offering, but the im
petus of brilliant showmanship is be
hind it.- *
The story of ihe show boat is told
simply. Its people act naturally. Love,
jealousy, sorrow, joy exercise their
elemental sway over the hearts of the
simple folk of Captnln Henry’s little
family. And the fried-la of the family
(the fans), you rnljTbe sure, deeply
sympathize.
There is a very intimate tone in all
the fan mall. An old acquaintance of
Captain Henry wrote: “Dear Cap: We
boys out here are enjoying your fine
program since you have become a show
boat captain. Tbe opera house out here
which you used to play in thirty years
ago is'now a movie, but we fellows who
used to be stage hands have not for
gotten how you used to tell us stories
between turns in the old prop room
with all the posters of actors and
actorines on the wall." *

A new advertiser comes to the

exclusive that advertising doesn t
pay ,and we bespeak for this enter
prise the patronage of our readers. A
drug store is a necessity m every
town and with E. W. Blythe behind
the prescription desk our readers are
assured that mistakes will not occur
nor exorbitant charges be made. This
is entirely a home enterprise—home
capital and home men—and s^0“*cl

F. E. B. Jenkins is out of a job for
the first time in seven years. He has
been managing the mill, farm and
other property of the Breese heirs,
and under his management it has im
proved and materially increased in
value. W. E. Breese Jr. will now take
charge of the property and with his
family located at the beautiful and
commodious Woodbridge cottage, will
be a citizen of our town and on the
ground to look after the interests of
the Breese heirs. Mr. JenKins ha.
been an honest, energetic and trust
worthy manager, and he will not long
remain out of employment.
Two lumber companies have repre

chase the Deaver speculation, as both
are bidding for it.

It looks now as if Brevard would
enjoy a moderate boom the coming
summer. With the hands r.ow em
ployed getting stavos, 'the building
of the Sapphire turnpike and the
money put in circulation by the lum
ber companies, prosperity may yet
spread her wings over this beautiful
valley.
A charter for the organization or
the Transylvania Turnpike company
has been received and a meeting of
the incorporators was appointed, at
the office of W. A. Gash last evening.
The company proposes the building
of a turnpike road from Brevard to
Sapphire and books for subscription
to the capital stock will probably be
opened today. The incorporators are
W. A. Gash, J. P. Hayes, John C.
Cooper, Hd C. Wilson and W. L.
Hume. It has been decided to make
shares $25 and work on the turnpike
will be accepted in payment for 3tock
the same as money. It is believed that
the travel over a good road be.tween
these points will make this one of the
best paving investments in the county
and that all who put money into the
enterprise will have the satisfaction
of helping build a much needed road
and getting good money in return. I
is expected that the turnpike will be
ready for use before the end of the
approaching season for summer visit
ors.

CONTROL OF APPLE 1
MOTH BY SPRAYING
t
.There are good ways of controlling
codling moths or. apple trees without
using sprays containing lead arsen
ate, says Dr. 2. P. Metcalf, entomolo:
gist of the N. C. experiment station.
Lead arsenate kills moths, he said,
but .it leaves an undesirable residue
on the apples.
During the winter and spring, loose
scales on the outer bark should 6
scraped off the trunk and larg
branches. Loose scales should b.
caught in a canvas and burned. Tra h
of any kind under the tree sh.uld
also be removed and burned.
The packing shed should also be
made moth-tight, if possible, and all
windows screened in order to keep
from the orchard any moths emerg
ing from fruit inside the shed. Con
tainers should be kept in moth-tight
places or dipped in scalding water
sometimes before spring.
After the trees have been scraped
they may be banded to collect worms
after the fruit has set. The n.w
chemically treated bands eliminate
the necessity of weekly collection of
worms, as is the case with ordinary
burlap bands. Treated bands should
be removed in the fall,
AH obviously wormy iruu snouiu
be removed from the tree to prevent
infection of good apples. The remain
ing apples will attain 9 larger size
when the culls are taken from the
tree. Culls should be disposed of in a
way to destroy the worms before they
crawl out.
The control of the first brood is
very important. At this time spray;
may be used without danger of leav
ing heavy residues. The thoroughness
with which the first brood is killed
all determine the amount of later
broods to infest the tree.
The addition pf oil emulsions or
.'fish oil to the lead arsenate spray
makes it cling longer to the trees but
should be used only during the first
brood time.
