Local Relief
All work projects conducted by the
Emergency Relief Administration in
Transylvania county, excepting tlie
nursery school, were discontinued
last Saturday because of shortage of
funds. An effort will be made to give
relief to thc.se in dire need, but this
will not be m re than one half of the
former quantity that it has been Uia
custom of the relief office to give
The expenditures of the loc-i. c ttice
have been for some time receding
the appropriations made by the state
authorities, who, last wee^ stressed
the importance f ^ot making* ex
penditures beyond appropriations.
The relief office was unable to say
when the order suspending work
would be lifted, duo to (the fact that
^ Transylvania county has been run
r ning about one month ahead in its
exnenditures.
This condition accounts for a num
ber of unpaid accounts among the
mevch;. . some of whom have
grown impatient because of a lack
of promptness on the part of the
relief i ffice in meeting these obliga
tions.
The \vigc rate for unskilled labor
has been reduced from 30c to dCc an
hour. This course *w&s taken bj the

OUTLAWS^
CHAPTER ONE
When Ranceford Kershaw came
out of the postoffice at Valley Cen
ter, his daughter Lorraine, seated at
the wheeel of the Kershaw car at the
curb, saw instantly that he had re
ceived some mail of a disturbing
nature. His head was bowed a little,
as from a blow, and in his tread
there was a lag that bespoke an in
hibition slightly greater than that
induced by the bullet that had shat
tered his hip many years previous.
When he reached the car he leaned
against the front door; then slowly
his head came down until his face
was hidden. He shivered faintly and
a sigh, half pain, half despair, es
caped him.
His daughter watched him with
something of the alert, professional
concern of a trained nurse. Only, in
Lorry Kershaw’s eyes, profound af
fection and pity showed.
She knew her father suffered from
l^^uum^^ectoris, and two doctors had
I told her a long time ago that »he
| must be prepared to lose him sud
1 denly. They had warned her •gainst
exhibiting the slightest concern dur
ing one of his attacks, since that
would merely add to the grief and
worry of her father and perhaps
hasten the end.
■So the girl waited until he raised
jhis face and smiled at her a trifle
I sheepishly. “That was a real twis
ter,” he gasped. “I figgered I was a
goner for sure. I dont think I could
stand another like that one, Lorry."
“Nonsense,” Lorry twisted his
great nose.
“You aint sympathetic,” he pro
tested, with a show of irritation. But
the girl knew he -was secretly pleased,
that her comradely badinage helped
materially to allay his excitement
and the resultant furious pounding
of his heart.
“Too had about you, isn’t it?” she
jeered. “You know very well the doc

Civic Booster Meeting Will Be
Held Here Evening of March 1
Every person interested in e bet
ter Brevard will be expected to at
tend a dinner meeting on Friday
evening of next week in the upstairs
dining hall of the Waltennire Hotel,
the event to start promptly at seven
o'clock.
“Looking at Brevard from the in
ride’' could be properly termed theme
of the meeting, and there will be no
outside speakers to envision glories
of what may have gone on in the
past here and what the- future, if
properly approached holds in store
for the community. Rather, it will be
an analysis of Brevard as it is today,
and possible things that may be dug
out in the future.
The Women’s Civic club is calling
the meeting, and will have charge of
all arrangements. Mrs. Oliver H.
Orr, president of the town’s very I
active group of ladies .together with I
several committees from the organ]- ■
nation have already worked out (lefi- i
nite plans for the evening, and are j
asking that nil ladies and men of|
the community who are interested, or;
who feel that they might become in-!
forested in better eruditions here, at
tend.
There will be no high pressure
methods of solicitation of any sort
at the meeting, and neither will there
be i signing of pledges for any par
ticular organization. However, it is
expected that out of the meeting of
interested people there will be some
solution to the problem of carrying
on for the community in a business
like manner.
A charge of thirty-five cents will
be made for each plate served, and
the committee of ladies in charge of
thus part of the evening’s program
premise that those who attend wili ]
he piven their money’s worth. The \
dining room- of tho hotel is being,
turned over to tho civic club by the 1
hotel for the evening.
Tickets are on sale at both Long;
nnd'Moofie Drug stores, and a com-,
mittjec is also calling on people of I
the community. Ticket sale will close'
on Wednesday night of next week, in .
older that the Indies may prepare:
adequate amount of food during |
Thursday and Friday for serving of
tho large crowd expected. Goal is set j
at one hundred attendants. _ I
People who have been watching
the work clone by t1 e Civic Club for j
the past eleven years are aware of;
the fire work that has been done,:
and jit is believed that one hundred)
tickets will be taken long before;
Wednesday night of next week. j
FOR MORE MEMBERS
Brevard College Students In
Charge of Work—Salaries i
Paid By FERA
Attention is called by officials of ■
the U. D. C. to the fact that new
memberships in the library would be
greatly appreciated at this time.
The improved service to the pub-'
lie this winter in keeping the library (
Dpen every afternoon and evening ■
has entailed extra expense in light
ing and heating, it is pointed out,
which extra expense must be met by f
the U. D. C. organization. This ac- (
commodation to the public in plac-1
ing the libiary at their disposal,
every day and night in the week is |
made possible by students of Bre- j
vard College acting as librarians, |
through funds available from the.
FERA setup. . .
The federal aid provides funds ror ,
librarians’ salary, but does not meet)
the extra expense of lighting and ;
heating. The U. D. C., therefore,!
will be grateful for any new mem-,
berships in the library to help de-,
fray this expense. j

Glazener Accepts Place As Agent;
County Farm Program Is Adopted
I First steps in organization of land
| use and conservation unit for Tran
I sylvan ia county were taken here Sat
1 urday afternoon, when a program of
farm planning was adopted by a rep
resentative group of about 75 farm
ers of the county.
H. A. Powers, of Knoxville, repre
sentative of the Tennessee. Valley
I Authority, and Coleman Dykea, of
Asheville, agriculture engineer for
the TVA, were heard in brief ad
dresses to the farmers, these two
officials' setting forth aims and pur
poses of the TVA in assisting coun
ties in organization and carrying out
rehabilitation and stabilization work.
It was explained by the TVA men
that chief purpose of the authority
was not to carry out the misconstru
ed idea of building dams and manu
facturing electric power, these two
being among the contributory agen
cies, only. Chief purpose of the TVA,
it was explained, is for development
of the people and their resources,
and further, that any worth whilo
program which would be adopted by
landowners and farmers of the conn
ty. would be cooperated with by the
TVA,
Ten demonstration farms in Tran
sylvania are to be selected by people
of the various communities under the
organized plan that was adopted^ by
the body after hearing discussions
bv the TVA men, Professor Julian
Giazener, and several farmers, these
community center farms or demon
stration tracts to be developed along
lines in accordance with the program
and to serve as a test farm for the
several communities in which they
are to be located.
Organization of the woTk will be
started in each of the communities.
it was decided, and a representative
of each community will then become
a member of the county unit. Test or
demonstration farms will be selected
by the community organizations
under the plan adopted.
J. A. Glazener, who has recently
been elected county agent by the
board of county commissioners, to
gether with ar. assistant county
agent who wili be selected by Mr.
Glazener and District Agent John
Goodman of the state extension de
partment, wi! Have general super
vision over the demonstration farms,
and will otherwise assist in curry
ing out the approved plan of farm
ing In the county. ,_.
Mr. Glazener announced Saturday
afternoon at the meeting of the
farmers that he had decided to ac
cept the place of county agent after
a vote of the group had approved the
farm plan as outlined, and after
nomination of a county agent had
been made, seconded and carried
according to parliamentary rules,
with unanimous vote of the large
Soup of farmers being in favor of
r. Glazener for the place.
It is not known at this time
whether Mr. Glazener will be able to
immediately assume duties of the
county agent work, on account of the
fact that he is teacher of vocational
agriculture at Brevard high school,
and he states that he cannot afford
to "quit his boys cold" unless tlw
state extension department can fur
nish suitable man to take his place
as teacher. __ .
The following things were ««*«
ed by farmers at the meeting to be
included in making up the farm pro
