Loca te* *f the scenic parkway route within twelve miles of Brevard, and much closer at several points to sec tk-i> of the county, gives us an or >rtunity that we have never had Srfwv . .0 fact that the scenic parkway is to 'ome dose to our doors is within it^df a boon. If we sit with folded hands and wait, there will be great benefit come to us. But why should we sit supinely by and take one egg fr«m ibe nest when there will be foirns laid. Study the location of Brevard and Transylvania county on a map and then with the slightest imagination, figure out just how much greater benefits we can derive from the six teen million dollar project if we wake ip and gi* to work. With an excellent highway con necting us with Greenville and points , t mnleted—not in 1946. but now. The “hen is on the nest laying ^ggs".. . .we can have one or a dozen. Our community can “drag along’’ with the natural benefits that will come to all of Western North Caro lina. or we can join the parade and gvt what a wide-awake community shtiafd have. TRY THE HOME TOWN MSI NESS MAN FIRST Naturally we’d like to see every body spend as many dollars in the home town as possible.. . .we wish it were possible that the tradesmen here could carry such lines that we’d never have to go outside the county lines to purchase anything at all. Thill i- impossible. Some things like sawmill;', locomotives, and even a few smaller items, have to be pur chased away from home, but when ear folks ha'-e to spend somewhere rise, we advise against dealing with fly-hy-nighters. WV mentioned one thing in particu lar last week, and this week we tell another true story that fits in well with our argument. A citizen had two typewriters. Loth same make, same model, and tooth having been used several years. One of these machines bad lieen re conditioned a short while ago by a representative of the typewriter fac tory. a mechanic that knows type writers from A to V. and is estab lished in business in Western North Carolina as a representative of the manufacturer, and who has been giv fair good service for years. Came a fly-by-nighter who, HE «nul, had been working with the fac tory fer years and had branched out .■n business for himself as a traveling swehanic, because HE could do any necessary work on typewriters with out faking them out of town,” and HIS charges were far less than a man who had to pay rent on a build ing; pay taxes, business licenses, tosol the machine to and from his place of business, etc., otc, and on down the line of arguments that go to make up a fly-by-nighter. Well, hi? story sounded so good that this Brevard citizen told him to go ahead and fix the typewriter that needed repairs. The Brevard citizen was in a hurry to leave town on a business trip, and «ftcr checking the price asked by Mr.; c ly-ny-Nighter against the same work that had been done on the other machine and seeing the great sav ing?? of three or four dbltars on the job, paid the fly-by man and went away. Came home, did this citizen, and started to use the reconditioned typewriter that was to “run so sweet” and behold, the fly-by had worked cn the machine that had been rebuilt by the factory roan a few weeks previous. Four dollars gone the way all such foolish dollars go. And Mr. Fly-By Nighter, sure he was gone too. To cap the stack, the machine WAS now in bad shape sure enough, an® there was the three more dollars gone to an honest man to get the type-1 writer back in as good shape as it j was before fly-by came along. Try the home town business man | first. TEACHERS SHOULD WARN PUPILS ABOUT AUTOS Wet pavements, ice on -windshields, children all bundled up and vision cut off—time would be well spent if teachers in Transylvania schools I would remind their charges daily of j the dangers of the highways and | streets. i Eighty children each day are kill i ed by carelessness—or at least by ac j cident. Maybe none in this' county— I let’s hope not—but at the s&me time, ! repeated warnings by teachers and , parents to our youngsters won’t go. i amiss. _ CLARK THANKS PEOPLE | Editor, The Times: I take this means to express my i sincere thanks, gratitude and appre- j 1 ciation to all the loyal friends who, supported me in the past election. It is a peculiar pleasure to realize the 1,633 citizens giving this support, gave it without money, government relief or flattering promises. Not one dollar of campaign money was asked for or received from any citizen dur ing this campaign, nor a word of abuse or mud slinging participated in by the Republican candidates. I prize very highly the many friend-1 ships formed during my rounds of the county, and hope to retain such | during the years to come. It has been j a great pleasure to meet and get acquainted with the good people of this county, and I shall always feel grateful for the manner they received me in their homes. My only regret is that we did not have an election free from the use of money, absentee votes, relief, and other means other than the uncompromised support of all citizens of the county. To my opponent I desire to express my sin cere congratulations, and hope for him a very successful term in office. Respec' fully, C. K. CLARK. | Lake Toxaway. OAKLAND NEWS Being on the sick list we failed to | gather very many local news items ihis week. We hope no one will be disappointed. The relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Reid in this section will be glad to know they have been heard from, stating their safe ar rival at Coater, Mo., their home. (The first day of their return trip j I hey drove 558 miles. Pretty good ! distance for a man to drive who is j o unused to the hills that he could j not tell when he was making a , heavy grade except by the noise of his motor and having to change gear j to keep the car going, or having to I put on brakes to keep it from, run ! ning away. We don’t mean Mr. Reid • wasn’t a good driver but he just couldn’t tell he was going up hill and down. We saw in the Asheville Citizen Sunday the announcement of the l marriage of our friends Miss Dot j Lee of Lake Toxaway and Johnnie R .gers of Cashiers. We want to ex ' tend congratulations and say we | wish for them happincs;, health and prosperity. ' Many readers of The Times will be glad to know that Mr. and Mrs. S. L.

U. PlTZWATMt. D. D„ Woi.-.bir or Kiiiiully. Moody 'Bible Institute ottOMcego.) 06. Wnature Nnw»pap«r Union. Lesson for November 18 THE CHRISTIAN AS A CHURCH MEMBER LESSON TEXT—Matthew 6:11-13; Acte 2:41*47. GOLDEN TEXT—For w* are mem bers of hie body, of hie fleab. and of his bones—Ephesians 6:30. PRIMARY TOPIC—Praieln* God In HI* House. JUNIOR TOPIC—What It Mean* to B* a Church Mtmber. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Why Join the Church! YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Learning From the Early Churoh. The two Scripture texts selected by the lesson committee are not quite of the same Import. The one from Matthew has to do with the relation of Christ's disciples to the world, especially his disciples as members of the Messianic kingdom. The so-called Sermon on the Mount, from which this unit Is taken, sets forth the laws which will obtain in Christ's kingdom. This should be rec ognized In Strictness of Interpretation, while at the same time these vital truths have a definite relation to the members of Christ's body. There Is a close connection, however, since-Jesus Christ Is the center In both cases. In the first, be Is the reigning King, and In the second, the Htvld of the organ ism called the Church. I. The Relation of Christ’s Disciples to the World (Matt. 5:13-16). The disciples are to live such Uvea as will enlighten, purify, and preserve. The responsibilities of the subjects of the kingdom are set forth under the figures of salt, light, and a city. 1. "Ye.are the salt of the earth" (v. 13) . Salt arrests and prevents the progress of corruption. Three proper ties are outstanding: a. Penetrating, b. Purifying, c. Preserving. As salt, the disciples of Christ should penetrate, purify, and preserve soci ety. The Christian should not go Into seclusion: he should remain In tne world, but not be a part of It 2. "Ye r.re the light of the world" (v. 14) . Light Illuminates and warms. Its gift Is guidance. The world In which the Christian lives Is cold and dark. Many are the pitfalls and snnres set by the devil. Christians should so live, should so let their light shine, as to prevent the unwary ones from falling into them. 3. “A city set on n hill" (v. 14). By a city Is suggested a governmental and social order. Christian character and service should be such as to give the influence of the hlll-llfted city. Chris tianity was not Intended to be hidden. II. The Christian Church an Evan gelizing Agency (Acts 2:41). It is not enough that believers should receive the life of God and enjoy the blessings of his grace, but they should evangelize the world. The Great Com mission (Matt. 2S:18-20) makes it clear that disciples should be mnde of all the nations, and that such disciples should be baptized and then tnught to ren der obedience unto God. It Is charac teristic of a saved man that he pro claims the salvation enjoyed to those who are lost. The unmistakable proof of the experiencing of the life of God Is that the good news Is being pro claimed. III. A Portrait of the Primitive Church (Acts 2:42-47). 1. They continued In tlie apostles' doctrine (v. 42). Instead of being taught by the scribes, they were now taught by new teachers, the apostles of Christ. 2. They continued in fellowship around Christ their Head (v. 42.) The “breaking of bread" Illustrated the oneness of believers In Christ. 3. They continued In prayer (v. 42). The Ideal church Is a praying church. 4. They “were together" (v. 44). They were together because they were baptized by the Holy Spirit Into the one body, of which Christ was Head (I Cor. 12:13). The oneness of this body was symbolized by the breaking of bread. 5. They bad community of goods (vv. 44, 45). They sold their possession aud goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. This proved that they were under the power of the Holy Spirit, that Is, that the super natural was being manifested; fo>- It is not natural to abandon one's title to possessions. 0. They were filled with gladness and singleness of heart (v. 40). All those who have had the experience of the life of God being poured Into them are filled with praise, and gratitude mcst express Itself. 7. “Favor with all the people" (v. 47). Such unselfishness gained the at tention of the people, inducing them to yield themselves to God, and thus God added unto them daily such as were being saved. Let us not forget that “Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for It . . . that It should be holy and without blemish.” _ The Real God To some people God Is the great and terrible God. Their souls are Oiled with awe at the thought of him. and they say with Jacob, “How dread fill is tills place.” To others he Is a God n{ gentleness, mercy, a Father that pitl eth his children, a Counselor and fa mlllnr Friend. Christian* I have often thought that tSti/bgjfe of Christians are found In the worst of tlnn u —John Banyan. \ ■■ ffiwsn The election in Quebec community was practically unanimous this time, just as it appears to have been throughout the whole United States. It appears that we are approaching, or have already entered upon, an other "Era of Good' Feeling” in this' country. Mrs. Nancy Fisher, and Miss Beu lah Reid were Brevard visitors Sat urday. • Garland Jones of Etowah visited Oscar Henderson Saturday and Oscar went home with him Sunday. Mr. and Mr*. Napoleon Miller of Brevard were recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Hender son and Mr. and Mrs. Gideon Miller. Prof. M. D. Hardin was dinner guest of Mr.”and Mrs. T. C. Hender son Sunday. Miss Nora Galloway of Easley spent the week-end with Mrs. Lea a Loving. Mrs. Gideon Miller was a visitor m Brev*rd last Saturday. Donald Jones, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Jones, died last Friday and was buried Saturday af ternoon in Oak Grove Baptist cem etery. Funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. Clyde McCall. Donald had not been well all summer, having never fully recovered from the ef fects of diphtheria which he had sev eral months ago. Last Sunday the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul McCoy of Lake Toxaway was buried in Oak Grove cemetery here. Claude Simpson of Greenville was a recent visitor in this community. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Brown visited relatives in this community during the week-eno\ returning to Easley Sunday afternoon.

James Henderson and Rufus Whit l mire spent Saturday night in Bre Ivard with Eck Sims. | Frank Osborne brought a load of Icorn to T. C. Henderson Saturday j afternoon, arriving in a rain, hail 'and electrical storm. Rev. J. E. Burt, the pastor, preach ed at Oak Grove Baptist church Sun day morning, his text being “Will a | Man rob God.” The message was one of simple Gospel truth, filled with earnestness and spiritual power, forcefully portraying the different ways in which people really rob God; some of which are by ignoring God in our daily doings, by the things on which we place our affections, by ! failing to love what God loves, by not ; giving Him our time and therefore jwasting our time, by failing to sup port His cause in a material way and ! by failing to take Him into the dir ecting of our home life.
