Camp Greenville Y. M. C. A.,
camp for boys located on Cleveland

period of 10 weeks.
The 400 acres of land on which this
camp is situated was donated by
Harvey Cleveland and the Saluda
Land and Lumber company through
the interest and love of John M.
"Uncle Johnny" Holmes, the
"Builder of Boys" and author of
“Howdy Boys" that is published in
many papers.
This camp is on one of the most
prominent peaks overlooking the Jones
Gap road, with a most beautiful view
that has been famous with lovers of
nature since before the Civil war.
The first term of boys between the
ages of 7 and 11 years will meet]
June 18. The senior camp for boys
will open July 2. giving a period of
10 weeks the camp will be open The
camp will be under the active man
agement of W. B “Monk” Mulligan,
a man of exceptional ability who is
trustee! and loved by the boys. Mr.
Mulligan will be assisted by four as
sistant directors. The attendance this
year will break all records for the
past six years the camp has been
open, it is believed.
Without a doubt this camp is one
of the most modern in the south,
with an athletic field that will com
pare favorably with many colleges,
row boats of different types, two
'tennis courts, wopdshop where many
things are made, ten huts that hold
20 boys each, dining room, club room

containing many objects of education
al value and historical interest from
every state in the union and many
countries of the world. These olvects
are embedded in the walls, many being
of value as museum pieces. An hour
of most profitable time can be spent
examining the 400 objects.
The athletic field has a quarter
mile track, a standard baseball dia
mond, with a smaller diamond for the
juniors. Two games of ball can be
played at the same time. Rotary Lake
that covers five acres of ground fed
by bold springs of purest water is a
battleground of boat and swimming
races. Two life guards are in charge
during the water activities.

this camp and sec what the generosity
and interest of our leaders are doing
toward the upbuilding of our young
manhood of today.
Aerial Survey To Be Made of French
Broad Valley Section By TVA Officials
M * ._._____
Hendersonville Times-News
June 5th
Information brought to Hender
sonville cn Thursday. May 3, by a
group of city and county officials
and citizens that an aerial survey
would soon be made of the French
Broad river valley by the Tennessee
Valley Authority, was borne out to
day when announcement was made
that the survey is underway.
News dispatches today from Wash
ington also gave credence to the be
lief of many persons that a huge
dam is to be constructed on the
French Broad river near Asheville,
thus creating a huge storage basin
for water to be utilized in the gig*”'
tic electric power project of the T\ A.
A total of $48,000,000 for construc
tion of two dams in Western North
if Carolina was allotted yesterday by
the national house of representatives
rin its passage of the deficiency ap
propriations biH, the other dam to be
constructed near Murphy
After a trip to Knoxville a month
ago, the local group quoted Dr. A. E.
g, Morgan, head of TVA, as saying that
^ Henderson county had nothing to fear
with respect to the construction of
the French Broad dam, but that an
aerial survey would soon be made in
line with announced plans for pve
paiing data on the possible develop
ment of the valley. Should the dam
eventually be constructed, he said, the
TVA will work in cooperation rather
than in conflict with local interests.
In an article today, quoting Carl
! Bock, assistant chief engineer and
; secretary to the board of TVA, as
' saying that the aerial survey^ had
1 been started, the Ashevi'le Citizen
noints out that the areas now being
| surveyed are two of four included in
j the continuation of the economic and
social planning project of the TVA.
: The other areas are at the mouth of
I the Little Tenressee river and near
Muscle Shoals .Ala. The house yester
day passed the deficiency appropria
tions bill allowing a new allotment of
millions for TVA development, $124,
| 000,000 of which will be expended on
! V>ur dams, it was explained. The bill
must face action in the senate.
The dams with their estimated ul
timate cost were listed by Dr. Arthur
I E. Morgan, TVA chairman, as fol
lows: Aurora, near the mouth of
1 Little Tennessee river, $42,000,000;
i Pickwick, near Muscle Shoals, Ala.,
$39,000,000; French Broad, in the
i valley of the French Broad, between
Asheville ami the Murphy area
$30,000,000; a’*l Hiawass.ee, in the
Murphy area, $13,000,000.

Sent To All Homes and
Business Places
Plumbing inspection of all resi
dences and business places served by
the town of Brevard water system
was ordered at the regular meeting
of the board of aldermen Monday
night, inspectors to be placed on this
work within the week.
It was brought to the attention of
the board Monday night that there is
a great waste of water ir> the town j
and suburbs, most of this coming
from negligent causes, such as leaky i
spigots, outlets and continuous flow
of water from bursted pipes and,
faulty bathroom fixtures.
The inspectors will point out faults
in plumbing to patrons ,and suggest
repairs, it being understood that such
requested repairs and replacements
will be made immediately.
With increased load on the city
water supply, it was felt by the water |
committee of the board that unnec
essary waste should be eliminated.
There is no actual shortage of water,
or is there likely to be, it was em
phasized by the water committee, but
with the increased load on the sys
tem that will be used at the swim
ming pool, that to be used by Bre
vard College, and the natural increase
of summer usage, it is deemed proper j
by the officials that unnecessary;
waste be stopped.
