FRIENDLY TOWN Brevard can be noted for at least one thing of great import* and that without cost of one cent, if people will join in the movement to really make this a friendly town. We’re all good friends in ouv own community, we all have lots of things in common that force u~ to be friend ly, at least outwardly. But there seems to be (this general statement being made after careful checkup) a lack of friendliness and geniality to ward the folk who come here year after year to spend their summer vacation. It really costs no more and takes little ,if any more, effort to be nice to the strangers who come into our town, and it could be made to pay big dividends on such a small investment. Movement is being started to make the visitors whom we hope will come to Brevard in great throngs this sum mer fee! more at home, more wel come, more like we are glad to see them and want them to come back next year and the next, and send their friends here. We’ve tried advertising, wove tried selling, we’ve tried nearly every thing to make Brevard a greater tourist center—now let’s try making Brevard be known as the Friendly Town. TOO MANY DOGS— A S TOO FEW COWS If The Times were to bust out and say there were too many dogs in this county and too few cows there would be plenty of people ready to ask just where we come in on the dog-cow business. But we don’t have to ex press our opinion on the matter, thus getting by without the cussing by letting The Charlottte Observer, recognized as outstanding daily of the two Carolinas, do the talking iik< this: Few families in North Carolina there are without a dog or several o) them, but the number of families n the State without a cow is ndxcu lonsly large. ' One unconversant with the actiia facts will be startled that such e statement can be made, but those u-he have made surveys of the economii status of the people of this Stay hare brought their findings down tc itnchallenguble figures. We have absolutely notning against any family owning a dog. Fact is just about as pleasant a companion as one could wish for, be he young-? ster or old man, is a dog that loves and respects his master, wants to be with him as much as possible, and >f necessary, will offer Jiis life in de fense of such master or pal. But w« are, as The Observer says too “cow unconscious” and sad to relate, toe "dog conscious.” EDITOR VINlUij IS “AFTER" THE ABSENTEE BALLOT Seth M. Vining, wh* last waek took over reins of The Polk County News at Tryon, made his debut in the weekly field Friday with a declara tion that the absentee ballot must go. In no uncertain tones Editor Vining calls attention of the existing evil in his county as fellows: “The alleged coi ruption at the polls with the use of the absentee ballot in Polk County has reached the breaking point- Fair minded citmena are demanding the abolishment of the absentee ballots. , “Their use has been a nuisance, ana an expense to the county in printing and counting them. They have been made tools fur scheming politicians who voted them without the know ledge or consent of the voters they were supposed to represent. They do not represent the will of ihe people. Tell your member of the legislature tc abolish the absentee la-.v in Polk ^°“Every election held n the County has been tainted by reports of cor ruption. How true these reports are we do not know. bn; *Jie temptation to use tV.'^griot wrongiy'~t,butriCt*'be rgflfioved and at the same time re ^~*move the cause for suspicions. Lets play the game fairly and squarely with live voters in the flesh at the polls. Tell your representative y^ou want the absentee ballot law ibolish ed “No absentee voter should object to abolishing this law. He had rather do his own voting instead of leaving the ballot to the first politician that get hold of his name. Any absentee voter should feel safe in trusting the judgment of the majority of the voters who are home on election d&y* Tell your representative to have the Absentee Ballot Law Abolished for Polk County.” --V OPEN SEASON FOR PEDDLERS Some of them are “working through college,” while some of them are •‘working the trade for all it’s worth,” while others are just look ing for the annual crop of suckers . . . those who fall for this scheme and that before the plausible super salesmen that have started their regular trek into the mountains.

Horatius, for the enemy cometh. It costs nothing to be courteous— try it. What a relief . . . Congress is ex pected to adjourn next Saturday. Of course the heavy rain last Fri day and Saturday evenings kept some people away from the excellent play at the Brevard high school, but if we were pessimistic we’d think that some people just fail to appreciate our talented young people like they should. And now we have a subscriber who says she is so disturbed at night by barking dogs in the neighborhood that she cannot work in daytime. We can only suggest that she hypnotize the prowlers, as going to people and telling them just when their dogs can and cannot bark is just a little out of our line. . ~ , t_ 1 n Dads uay—oummj' uu.^v ought to have more significance with everyone. It’s Dad who has to do most of the worrying about how the bills are to be paid each month, how the taxes will be scraped up, how insurance payments can be met. and on down the line. It’s Dad who car ries the big load of the business life for each family, and it is very fitting that at least one day each year should he set aside as a time for honoring the Dads who really do their be3t. i easTfork (Mrs. W.

During the meetings 102 con version? are reported and these nave manifested their preference for the various churches as follows: pap tut 16; Methodist, 20; Presbyterian. 30 Such an earnest and wide-spread in terest in religious matters has never been known in this vicinity, and if only half who have manifested a dis position to lead better lives remain ( true to the teachings of Christianity this community will be greatly bet tered. «• According to tne AIUSKa mure. ,» gentleman who ha? just escaped from the Klondike region gives the fol lowing account of some things that happened there: “A men told me who had wintered up there seven years that it was so cold in January tjia. they froze the flames of their candles and sold them for strawberries. He said they kept their fires over night by putting them out in the b\t anu letting then; freeze, and then ihawert them out in the morning. He said he had seen four men die of colic .rom eating whiskey that was frozen so hard that it wouldn’t thaw inside of them. He said the cows all gave ice cream till they froze to death. He said he knew a clerk in a hotel on the Youkon that got rich selling the dia monds he wore, said diamonds Deing nothing on earth but ice crystals that didn’t melt till after the clerk had got out of the country. He said he had seen a man fall off the roof o. a barn and freeze so stiff before he lit that he broke in two when he hit the ground. He said the reason that nights were so long in that, country was that the dark got f™zen F° hard the daylight couldn’t thaw its way through in less than -six months.^ Takes $ Inches Off Hips and Bust The SAFE Way to Reduce “For 3 month?
