Duke Foundation Institution;
In Brevard Filin Need j
In Community
A highly satisfactory report of,
operation of the Lyday Memorial;
hospital was made at a meeting pi
the board of directors of the Duke
Foundation institution last Satur

BREVARDTEAM SET
FOR TODAY’S GAME
Collegians On Edge After
Several Days Of Strenu
ous Training
By JAZZY MOORE
Brimming over with confidence
after several days of strenuous;
training, the Brevard College Tor
nadoes are on edge for their opening
baseball game of the season, which
will be played at Spartanburg, S. C.,
this afternoon (Thursday) with the
Wofford College varsity nine.
Coach Ralph James seems to be,
well pleased with the showing the j
squad has made during the training,
period. He has had a good looking I
buml. i,: ;..eu out-fer the team and!
prospects for a winning club are.
unusually bright. Everything has
gone fine so far and observers be-1
lieve the team that takes1 the field ]
today will be one of the best to rep- ]
resent a junior college in Western !
North Carolina in several years. L
Coach James has not announced!
anything about the lineup that wiljf
start the opening game. He in ap
probability will give everybody /a
chance to show his wares before tl te
scran terminates.
There is, however, a strong pro
ability of John Wahonick, sturc |y
righthander from the sandlots 3f
Alabama, being called to the morn ,d
in the opener, though James has n ^
announced anything along that lir ie.
Wahonick will be reinforced t) ;s
season by Tom Graham, Pckelsinu r,
Kilpatrick, Williams, Patton a
other capable twirlers.
Friday, the locals will clash wi th
Hie Textile Institute team at Spr r.
tanburg. They will open the hci ne
season on April 20th with the Davi j.
son Frosh furnishing the opposition.

TO OPERATESCHOOL
ON QUARTER BASIS
New Plan at Brevard College ■
To Go into Effect This
Year, It Is Said
By JAZZY MOORE
A change in the plan of operation ■
at Brevard College whereby the col- [
legs year will he divided into three |
quarters of twelve week? each has |
been announced by President E. J.'
Coltrane.
This new plan replaces the old j
semester system whieh has been in
effect since the organizaion of the:
college hst September. It is to be
put into operation this year, accord-j
ing to announcements.
In addition to the regular college i
year of three quarters, there will be,
a summer quarter of twelve weeks,'
enabling the college plant to be j
utilized throughout the entire year.
Courses of study are now being
arranged to accommodate thoce who
desire to enter at the beginning of
any quarter. Particular emphasis, it I
is said, will be placed on the en
tr‘>*'ce rf a freshman class on June:
11th of this year.
The summer session will also he
opened for students who may wish
to make up work or to pursue ad- j
vanced subjects. Under the direc-;
tion of Rev. R. D. McNeer, head of [
the department of religious educa-,
ticn, several short courses in the
field of religion will be offered to;
young people who may want to
come to the college for special work. |
Practically ali members of the regu-1
lar college faculty will be on the
summer school staff.
It is the opinion of President Col-.
trane that it wil 1 be possible under
the new arrangement to have ap- j
proximgtely 000 students in the col-,
lege daring the year. There will be
decided advantages to high school,
‘graduates who may be unemployed |
and ready to enter college in June, i
Six quarters of twelve weeks each
will be required for the completion
of a general college course, the j
courses to be taken in consecutive!
order if the student elects. A student ■
entering in June .f this year could ,
graduate from the college in Decern- j
her 1936. Students entering in Sep
tember may complete their courses in ,
six corsecutive quarters or they may [
drop out in anv particular quarter |
and return to the college at a time j
suitable for re-entering their chosen,
courses. ;
The principle of self-help which is ■
the basis of the Brevard College plan, |
will receive special attention during ■
the summer quarter.

LEGISLATURE GIVES
0. K. TO SALES TAX
Five Per Cent Beer Promised
—Anti Rabies Measure
Becomes Law
Senator Ralph H. Ramsey, Jr,,
who was here over the week-end,
expressed the opinion that the leg
! islatuie would run three more
'weeks, possibly four.
RALEIGH, Mar. 27—"Off ago in,
on again, Finnegan"—seems to be
style of the general assembly now.
First the three ]>er cent sales tax
; passed the house on two readings;
then it was reversed Monday and
I two percenters won out over the ad
ministration standpatters. T h c n,
| Tuesday the house reversed its
opinion, and the bill is now in the
ronate finance committee for a cou
ple of of days, after which observers
here assert it will be quickly passed
by the senate body—three per cent
general sales tax, no exemptions.
Ratification of the five per cent
beer bill was expected (ate Wednes
day or Thursday. The bill has al
ready passed both houses and only
awaits ratification to become law.
Passage of the anti-rabies bill
created quite a stir among those
who "were afraid of what it would
do to young politicians" last week.
However, all dog owners will now
be forced to have their animals vac
cinated against hydrophobia.
There is little chance, observers
fay, that the Hill liquor bill will bo
passed at this session of the legisla
ture. Chief reasons for defeate of the
measure lies in the fact that upon
such measures of importance to the
"folks back home” a roll call vote is
taken and the names of the legis
lators who vote aye end nay printed
in the state and home town news
papers.
"Playing politics" is taking quite
a bit of energy in the house of rep
resentatives, with center of attrac
tion being speakership place for
1917. Severei of the apparent candi
dates are chairmen of committee’,
end this adds to the zest.
Corn-Hog Contracts
Attention is called to the fact that
time for making ap’icajtion for AAA
or corn-hog reduction contracts, ex
pires on March 30. All farmers who
have not signed contracts and who
wish to share in the reduction bene
fits are urged , to see Assistant
County Agent .llaness at his office
in the Breese building at onea.
AT~LYDAY HOSPITAL
Patients reported at Lyday Me
morial hospital on Wednesday were
Miss Violet Gib'an and Mrs. Ed
Owenby.
Miss Edith Padgett, one of the
nurses at Lyday Memorial hospital,
returned the first of the week front
a week’s visit at her home in Char
leston, S. C.
Balsam Grove Camp Interesting Place;
Outstanding Work Being Done By Boys
Camp F-14 is not only a decided
asset to Transylvania county in a
material way but it also a great
place for royal entertainment, ac
cording to expressions from several
Brevard business men who were
guests of the CCC officers and boys
Tuesday evening.
Aside from the fine dinner that,
was prepared and served by the i
boys enrolled at the camp, the trip
from Rosman to the Beech Island ;
campsite up the Gloucester ro3d was |
a revelation t < some of the fellows .
who had not been over this, one of
the most beautiful scenic drives of
the entire western section cf the
state.
Arriving at camp around 5:30
the nartv was met by Captain
O’Neal and his efficient and courte
ous staff and shown over the camp
grounds. _ 1
The camp occupies what is said,
to be the largest “island” in this sec-!
tion, being completely circled by a,
freak flow of North Fork of the
French Broad river. Capitalizing |
unon the unique location in the |
island «m> that is surrounded by
towering hills, the camp personnel
has made a beauty spot out of the
parade grounds and the camp prop
erty. !
Carefully laid out walks, graveled,
and txndered by white stone?, con-,
r.ecting all ca'tiwv and main build
ings and merging into a common cen
ter about the mast from which floats
the American flag, an ordwlmeni of
the first rank prevails that was
overwhelming to members of the
party who were at the camp ior
their first time.
Cabins, "neat as a pin" and com
fortably arranged, were inspected.
Tn the center of the four-man dwell
ings grouped about the parade
grounds in one-two style, were uni
que heaters that looked like an'
Verted funnel, with r.o grate or fire
box, but which the boys hastonedto
cssure the visitors were “just the
thing” for economical heating.
Bunks of army style were all
made with the blanket* tucked in
iuit so, and belonging* of the occu
rants placed in such orderly manner
that there ^ plenty of iwm kt
no space wasted. Nary a cigarette
. /
butt or item that would be obnoxious
to milady was seen on the floor of
the several ‘homes’’ visited, and
despite the fact that the camp is a
purely stag affair, there were no
boys lolling about in undershirt’'
and bare feet.
Adequate, though simple first aid
room and hospital requirement i
were found, with the attendant hos
pital-like atmosphere, the bottles cf
pills, castor oil, bandage and other
requisites necessary fer treatment
of minrr disabilities.
At the far end of the camp ground
is the bath house which was being
used by a continuous string of
youngsters. Lots of soap, towels,
brushes, wash basins and shower
baths_young fellow in looking
tired and soiled from eight hours
road building or forestry work....
fifteen minutes of hot water, soap
and shower ar.d presto .... one of
Uncle Sam’s best sauntered forth to
fall in line with the two hundred
that about faced for taps as the flag
was lowered at sunset.
Curiosity of surroundings satis
fied, the party was shown into the
officers’ mess where a dinner fit for
any king, or even the president was
spread. Food, “just as good as
mother’s” was plentiful and the
event was one of jovialty akin to
both a full dress affair and a family
reunion. , ......
Then to the recreation hall that
wwu.i make Brevard complete were
it to be pWrCd Up bodily and trans
ferred to th*. municipal park. Here
i the guests were given official wel
come by Captain O’Nea. Educa
I tional Instructor Rice, follow*.*
which an hour’s entertainment of
| songs. music, dancing, b’ackfsco
! skits and music was enjoyed.
Altogether the evening was one to
take awav the Brevard gropch, and
give a different slant on the bigness
It the CCC—big thing* doing
for young men, and big thinga wax
it is doing for Transylvania county.
