HEAT SCHOOL BUILDINGS
WITH NATIVE PRODUCT
With Transylvania county people
a-needin’ of all the ready cash they
can get hold of, employment far
from being at its peak, and plenty of
wood that can be supplied, the idea
as expressed by R. W. braeber, State
College forester, that it would be a
boon to farmers and property own
ers to furnish wood for school heat
ing purposes this winter, sounds very
sensible, and at least profitable.
We realize that it might be a little
more trouble for school officials to
have to make contracts here and there
for wood, check on the length, type,
cordage, etc., were wdcd for all Tran
sylvania school heating units be
used instead of coal, which is ordered
from some "foreign” concern on a
state-wide contract, transported by
the common carrier and unloaded in
the basements by contract truckers.
Too. it might take up a little more
space for the wood pite, but we are
thinking in terms of dollars for the
home folk.
OLD AGE PEXSIOX
PLAX MADE SENSIBLE
An interesting booklet that has
come to our desk within the past week
is that of ar. outline by Dr. T. E.
Townsend of California, dealing with
the old age pension question. True,
the organization represented by the
medical doctor is selling the booklet®
and thereby deriving at least s'me
direct b* nefits. hut they are stressing
turning to congressmen and senators
for the old age relief which at least
is better in our opinion than these
who would lead people to believe that
an organization within itself can have
influence on congress.
BOOTLEGGER HELPS

At least we have the “hip pocket
barroom” to thank for one thing.
Last, we; k our printing department
had ar. ordtr for a job printed in a
particular shade of blue ink. Fout
different shades of blue in stock
would not do neither would mixing
any two of the shades make the le

take a little purple to add that cer

This newspaper is dry, bone dry,
but we can't get pepped up over a
prohibition drive that is headed by
Bishop Cannon, and we believe there
will be plenty more of the same type.
If there is to be a fight for prohi
bition’s return to the nation we nomi- ;
nate anybody else for leader besides
rhc bishop.
Teachers of Macon county, just
over the ridge from Transylvania,
must agree not to attend any dance,
public or private, during the school
year and stay away from other social j
functions in the evenings-which i
sounds foolish as could be. .but there
ave lot' of teachers in Transylvania
county -who taught here last year who
are wondering if they are not to be
forced to stay away from the school;
hou=e altogether.
PRIMARY elections
CONDEMNED BY MANY
N. C. NEWSPAPERS
From nearly all sections of North
Carolina comes condemnation of pri
mary elections, with big newspapers,
little newspapers and other public**
tions taking up the cry to abolish the
now-termed useless and vicious man
ner of selecting candidates by both
parties.
The” following able editorial is
taken from The State, Car! Goerch’s
able "Time-like” news magazine of
North Carolina:
Convention Vx. Frvmary
North Carolina has just p***ed
through another period of Democratic
primaries, and if there is anything
that causes greater turbulence, un
rest, dissatisfaction and ill-feeling in
this state, we don’t know what it is.
The primary system is O.K. in
theory but it’s a mess in practice.
A few counties maintained their
common sense and sober judgment
and refused to be stampeded when
the primary law was adopted. They
continue to elect their candidates for
public office through the medium of
the convention system. They are in a
position to give the rest of the statd
the horse laugh.
North Carolina has tried both th#
convention and the primary systems.
It may be that the convention systetm
has its drawbacks, but the general
opinion is that the candidates who are
selected to public office in a conven
tion are usually of greater ability
and higher calibre than those who ar«
selected in primaries.
But that isn’t the only drawback
to the primaries.
Three or fuur men in a certain
county run for a certain office. They
have ti> wage a vigorous campaign,
lasting anywhere from one month to
six months. Practically all of then
regular routine of work has to be
abandoned while they go out into the
highways and byways, begging voters
to vote'for them.
Points of dissension and disagree
ment arise. Bitterness of feeling of
times is engendered into the cam ,
paign, and in a good many instances
this antagonistic attitude continues
for many years.
Large sums of money have to he
spent for campaign literature and
traveling expenses. In the majority of
instances these expenditures arc a
severe drain on the personal treasury
of the men who are running tor ,
office. And then, after the primary I
has been held and the votes have beer. ,
counted, it is found that in a good |
many instances a second primary is j
necessary—and the candidates have
to go through the same rigmarole
again.
Taking everything into considera
tion, our opinion is that the coun
ties of North Carolina would be
bttter off if they discarded the pri
mary system and elecited their candi
dates by"means of conventions.
; Somebody is going to be killed or
badly injured by driving west on Jor
dan street by the postoffice. Home'
folk are just as bad as strangers who
do not know better.
Time to be thinking seriously
about the Transylvania county fair.
If you’re interested, come to the
meeting at Brevard Saturday night.
1 Divinity student who preferred
charges against the “nudelyweds” at
Chicago last week ha# changed his
mind and now says that ‘‘the sur
roundings were beautiful," meaning,
we wonder what.
Woman has right to change her
mind, rules a Baltimore circuit court
judge, in handing down a decision •
we never were certain about tin
right, but wc know it has been uni
versal custom for ages.

Frogs Get Lit; Explanation is
Lightning Bugs
Marion—Francis Stevens of Clinch
field can tell you why frogs get lit.
It’s lightning bugs.
Stevens noticed that various frogs,
as darkness approached, took on an
eerie glow. The light seemed to come
from inside. Stevens was curious so
he investigated. '}
He said he saw one frog eat sev
eral lightning bugs and that the bugs
continued to flash their light,for .some
time after entering the frog’s-stom
ach. Stevens even went to the point
of helping feed bugs to the frog.
Finally, however, th' lights went out
and stayed out.
Stevens said the only woray the
frog seemed to haw was the fact
that .noticing the light inside it=e!f,
it couldn’t get to the bugs to re-eat
them.

tops a 22-year record of engineering progress
that makes Chevrolet the best riding car In
the low-price field
i^T'p , Year after year, it’s been
the same story: Chevrolet
FIRST with the NEWEST and BEST!
Chevrolet leading—others following. Chev
rolet out in front with the latest proved ad
vancements. Self-starter! Sliding gear
transmission! Streamlined design! It teas
Chevrolet aggressiveness and progres
siveness that forced all low-priced cars
eventually to adopt these and other
major improvements. And now, this year,
comes the climax of Chevrolet’s engineering
leadership: the Knee-Action ride! This
newest of motoring sensations is a marvel
of smooth, easy, gentle motion. No other
ride in the world can even compare with
it. It makes Chevrolet far and away the
best riding car in the low-price field.
Have you noticed how America lias taken
to the Knee-Action ride? In the first 6
months, demand for Chevrolet cars sent pro
duction to the highest total attained by any
automobile during 1934.
