OLD AGE PENSION TO
BE SOUGHT FOR U. S.
Editor, The Times:
Petitions are now at the Transyl
vania Trust company’s office ask
ing our representative in congress
and Senator Robert R. Reynolds to
u.-e their influence to see that the
Townsend Old Age Revolving Pension
1 Plan is enacted into law at the com
ing session of congress.
All parties interested in seeing this
plan adopted are urged to sign both
petitions.
It is the best thing yet offered.
Sign it and take your friends in to
sign it.
The Asheville paper today has a
large headline telling us what a large
delegation is going to see what can
be done about the Parkway.
This pension plan put into effect
will do more for Transylvania coun
ty in a year than the Parkway will
in ten years—and I can proye it.

TUL EY CREEK FOLK
WANT SCHOOL THERE
Effort is being made by patrons of
the Turkey Creek school to have the
school there re-opened by the state.
The school was closed last spring
a few weeks before the term ended
and the children this term are being
transported to Pisgah Forest. Forty
or more children are eligible to attend
the school at Turkey Creek and
patrons aver that manner of trans
portation to Pisgah Forest, especially
for the smaller pupils, is an undue
hardship.

LARGE SQUAD TRIES
OUT AT BREVARD H!
Se&*on Open* Here on 2Sfh of
September With Christ
School Eleven
Coach Ernest Tilson in confidently
looking forward to turning ut a
snappy football team at Brevard high
school this season, thirty men being
out regularly for practice.
Undaunted by lack of letl-rated,
Coach Tilson says that hix throe first
stringers from 1933, Morris and Prici
in the backfield, and Huggins in the
line, plus some go d material that
saw action in nearly every grme in
the past season, and the new additions
that he has, gives him better pros
pects than the previous year.
Pickelaimcr, light out fast, who was
in several games last year quarter
and extra half, is going gi-tm. The
same applies to Siniard. who is good
in both line and back. One new
heavy player, Gray who played ren
ter for R'Jtherfordton high, is adding
to the line. Wood, who showed plenty
of spepd and push last year, i- again
out for backfield position.
The line wiil average 150 pound*
or better. Tilson says, and with the
new material showing up good, the
backfield will go better than 15d.
The first game of the season now
scheduled is with Christ School hert
on September 28, with possibility of
a game on the 2lst.
