THIS COMMUNITY
SHOULD FEEL GOOD
Brevard and Transylvania county
have every reason to be optimistic—
an excellent summer business with
promise of lengthened season prob
ably lasting through October; best
potato crop in years; corn crop very
good and prospects of high prices;
Brevard College opening in Septem
ber with full enrollment, with its
attendant new families and new peo
ple; payrolls far better than last
year; drouth area cattle in every
nool; and cranny in the county; to
take care in a profitable way of all
surj Iim feeds at a good price....add
it all up, analyze the assets that we
hav now, not something to be lo 'ked
forward to, and there is no reason in
the world why we should not feel
good, all of us.
FISA,V( INC STRIKERS
HIVES EOOI) FOR THOUGHT
The Greenville News of Monday
wry aptly dealt with the matter of
financing strikers, with respect to the
proposed tixti!u walkout of Septem
ber 4. It is a big question, this ques
t ii o; who shall feed the strikers
while they are out, if and when they
«„ strike, and The Greenville News
sets forth some thought-provoking
arguments as follows:
An Associated Press dispatch from
Atlanta quotes labor leaders as say
ing that they expect the federal gov
ernment through the emergency relief
administration to “finance” the gen
eral strike in the textile industry, on
*!.-? f »und that the government has
- ‘ pledged itself to “let no one go
hungry.”
Thi administration is seeding w
iv ovule jobs for people who are wil
I g to work, and to provide food
,, lief loi those who are unable to
find w ok. But will public sentiment
approve the use of millions of dollars
of public funds to feed those who
hav jobs and deliberately refuse to
work---not nlv refuse to work but
•no determ nod' to stop all production
in one of the nation’s ba-ic industries,
tiv rcbv throwing a damper upon the
whole process f economic recovery,
to promote which the government is
spending billions?
Shall the government pay people to
( any out a program in opposition to
its efforts to restore normally pros
perous conditions?
It is to be remembered that the
labor-controversy agencies establish
ed by the government have not passed
on tile merits of this pr posed strike.
The textile labor relations board has
been contemptuously scorned by the
fficials of the V. T. W. They have
taken the uttito.de of calling the
-trike first and then waiting for gov
ernment agencies to make overtures
to tin m ti rail it off. Can the fed
ora! administration be expected to
‘■finance” workers who leave their
jobs under such circumstances?
Attain reminding our readers that
Jordan street by the post office is
one-way. only safe for east-bound
traffic.
Congratulati >ns to John’s Rock
CCC outfit for winning the “best
camp” prize. Nice camp, nice officers,
and nice fellows.
Tho se readers who received a
card from The Times last week are
invited to read it again and then
“plez rent-met.”
Flower growers in this commun
ity should be given a vote of thanks
by all people. Mountains in the dis
tance ar» beautiful beyond descrip
tion, waterfalls are attractive,
streams that gurgle and gush and
wind are cause for ponderance on the
lavish hand that nature has laid on
this section, but there is nothing
that can take the place of flowers,
close at hand.
“Union Expects U. S. To Feed
Textile Strikers,” says daily news
paper headline... .we know of lots of
fellows who have been “struck” ever
since the Federal Feeding started.
“Western” Democrats have every
reason to be proud that Miss Beatrice
Cobb, editor .of The Morganton News
Herald was elected national commit
teewoman. Women like Miss Cobb
will nuke any party better.
If teachers and parents will sug
gest to school children that the
streets and sidewalks are wrong
places for waste paper, food scraps, j
fruit peels, etc., the town will look a
lot nicer. Just thoughtlessness on the
part of the kiddies... .if approached
r .-I-, they will give 100 per cent
cooperation.
Somebody certainly pulled a boner
when the beautiful evergreens In
front of the Brevard high school
building were “whacked up” in such
manner last week. If we remember
aright, ladies of the town'spent sev
eral hundred dollars a few years ago
in beautifying the grounds there, and
the shrubbery was a very essential
part of the scheme. We hope the
damage is not so serious as it looks,
but it looks plenty bad.
How about growing more peacltes
in Transylvania county? Several p«v
ple have brought peaches to this
office during the past few weeks
hat equalled and in some instances,
surpassed those that were trucked in
here from South Carolina. We don’t
know' about altitudes and climatic
•nnditions and just what effect these
Veters would have on year-after-year
growths of peaches, but the ones we
‘'ave seen here this summer cause us
1 werder if we couldn’t have Tran
•ylvania peaches instead of paying
'■ilk for hauling them long ways.
WHIPPING POST SUGGESTED
(Charlotte Observer)
The Transylvania Times knows of
'.rstances in which men in that county
have refused work at $48 the month,
even while their families are living
on the small aid given by the relief
organization, preferring that source
f livelihood to that of honest toil.
This is no unusual situation. It is
! jemmon over the State, but it would
quickly disappear if the remedy pro
nosed by The Times were adopted.
That paper would have a locust or
black gum post erected on the court
use lot in Brevard, provided with
steel anklets and bracelets, and have
nn old-time whipping post demonstra
tion as a cure. The remedy would be
the heroic character, but it would
prove effective. And, for a fact, it
would not be regarded as too severe
fi v the loafer who declines honest
work at living wages and permits his
family to subsist on Government
charity.

jTRONGER BUSINESS
AND STRONGER BANKS
By F. M. LAW
Preside*1 American Bankers
Association
DURING the crisis when confidence
was shattered, bankers were prop
er! v concerned in liquidity. Their main
r. M. LAW
thought was ta |
prepare to meet
any demand for
withdrawal Of
funds. They were
more Interasted
therefore in col
lecting loans than
in making them.
For this they can
not be lastly
blamed. It was a
pn per procedure.
Now that con- j
fldence hat been I
so largely re-!
stored banks will naturally resume a
more normal lending policy. This does
not mean they will or should extend
loose or unsound credl'. but that In the
utmost good latth bankers will per
form their proper part In recovery by
a sympathetic and constructive atti
tude In the making of sound loans. Nor
should commercial banks make capital
or long time loans, for tho reason that
their loans are made from funds de
rived from deposits payable for the
most part on demand.
When the return of conlldence Is
further on Its wuy, business men will
find need for credit in making their
plans. Then good borrowers, who for
the most part have been so conspicu
ously nbseut from the market, will re
turn. They will be warmly welcomed
by »’ e banks.
Business Men's Fears
Business men have not yet laid all
their fears. They worry about what
Congress may or may not do. They con*
i.-t-ru themselves ubotit a trend toward
control of business by government.
They fear taxes beyond their power to
pay. These are real sources o. worry
and when they are reassured along
those lines they will be more inclined
to lake a ficsh look at the future and
to make plans to go forward.
As a matter of fact there are tangi
ble evidences of recovery. The Federal
Reserve Board officially has stated
that prices, wages, business activity
and production were back to the high
est peak since early in 1931. Commer
cial failures in the United States are
being cut almost in half as compared
with the same period last year. It has
1 on reported that the decline In ex
port and import trade was deflniti ly
checked in the middle of 1933 and re
placed during the last half of the year
by a substantial recovery movement.
Among favorable factors is the im
proved condition of the banks. It is
doubtless true that the banking struc
ture of the country has never been In a
sounder, stronger and more liquid con
dition than it is today. My authority
for that statement is the Comptroller
of the Currency. No longer Is there any
fear or thought of bank runs. Deposi
tors once more know that their money
is safe and the banker, thrice armed in
tho knowledge of Ills own strength. Is
looking forward.
