Make Brevard A Friendly Town, Is
Slimmer Work of Brevard Kiwanians
“Make Brevard a friendly town” is
an outstanding need according to sen
timent at the Brevard Kiwanis club
meeting Wednesday, and a commit-^
tee was appointed to act as a starter |
for persuading all business people;
and residents to work toward the view j
of making visitors to Brevard feel
more welcome here this summer.
Tourist town facilities, magnificent,
scenery, great climate, fine water, •
picture show, golf course, swimming j
pool—all these things are fine in j
their place, it was pointed out, but j
the finishing touch, the real friendly I
spirit that ought to prevail in the j
community toward the visitor is very;
often missing. I
Two visitors at the club frankly
stated that they had noticed a short
age of “friendliness'1 in the commun
ity during the few days that they had
been here, and joined in asserting
that better recognition of both sum
mer people and casual visitors to the
town would be a decided asset.
J. Dale Stentz, Rev. J. H. West and
C. M. Douglas were appointed as a
committee from the club to confer
with business men and other organi
zations in regard to making a drive
to make the town more conscious of
the friendly spirit.
Captain W. 0. Bacon, who recently
moved here with his wife from Ocala,
Fla., was welcomed into the club as
a member. The Rev. John Simmons,
pastor of the Brevard Presbyterian
church, was a guest of Kiwanian
Harry Sellers.
