All Transylvania Schools To Begin Thursday Morning, September 12th Schools of Transylvania county will begin the 1935-36 term on Thursday morning, September 12, in stead of Aug. 29, as originally sched uled. County officials decided to move date of opening up two weeks after receiving notification from the state school commission to the effect that books under the rental system would not be available before September 10th. It was consensus of opinion of the school board and superintendent that it would be more or less a waste 'f time to start school before books could be had by the students. Under the state rental plan which will be put in operation this year books for the elementary schools and some of the high school studies will , be rented to students for approxi mately one-third cost of books here tofore. History and science texts will be the only two books available this year to high school pupils on the rental system, while all the books for grades 1 to 7 inclusive may be secured. The books will very prob ably be handled through the super intendent and principals of the var ious schools. ___ ! Dahlia Show To Be Held In Brevard j Saturday Afternoon of This Weekj Brevard’s third annual dahlia show will be held Saturday of this week in the large Harris Building on West Main street, opening to visitors at one o’clock in the afternoon and continuing through the evening.

Section B is open to any one in Transylvania county, and sec tion C to those who have exhibited little, if any, in flower shows. There will be no charge for entering dah- • lias, nor will there be any charge ' for admittance of visitors, the show! being staged as a'n entertainment for home folk and visitors. A silver of fering will be taken. Valuable prizes have been con« j tributed by various firms and indi-1 viduals in Brevard and elsewhere, which will be offered as first and . second awards. R. R. Robison, dah j lia expert of Asheville, will again | act as judge of the show. Growers are urged to bring their flowers in as early as possible Sat urday morning. Officers of the club and attendants will be on hand by 7:30 to take care of exhibits. It is requested that all dahlias be in by ten o’clock at the latest in order that the judging may be completed before one o’clock.

Merrell History To Be Put In Book Form The annua! reunion of Merrells was held again at Fletcher last Sun-1 day On account of rain the attend-1 ance was not as large as at othei times. Ernest Merrell, secretary and historian, gave a report of interest ing historv which he has recently obtained. ‘Mr. Merrell has traveled extensively in the Eastern United States and spent much time and money in tracing and checking the Merrell genealogy and history and he expects to have the work pub lished in book form this fall. As sug gested, the book should be off the press in time to serve as a good Christmas present for any who wisn to buy. Prof. Allison Honeycutt, o, Lexington, M. C., gave an address in ; the afternoon. Attorney Calvin Ld-, iney of the Merrell generation in, l Madison county, also spoke in the i afternoon. Rev. J. M.

Business pertaining to the work of the commerce body will be principal business. Kitten Returned Thru Want Advertisement After one has taken pains for sev-1 cral months to train a kitten, and i found that the cat (grown up kitten) [ was very responsive to training, there j is naturally an attachment to such a j pet. Then, if Tommy just ups am) takes a stroll on a moonlight night and fails to return, he is missed. That is what happened with a beautiful j white cat owned by Mrs. C. M. I Douglas cn Saturday night, Aug. 10 j —Tom just walked off into strange j territory. I All the neighbors were called on— but no cat had been seen. Came Thursday morning and a want ad was placed in The Times offering a reward for return of the strayed pet. Friday morning three telephone calls were received, all telling that the cat had been seen on Maple i street, and then Mrs. Hollifeld call-, ed The Times office and said “We j have found your cat.” i n a very few moments the return ed pet was en.ioyfng a saucer of milk and purring as contentedly as one could hope for, and—it pays to ad-, ve.'tise. PEOPLE INTERESTED IN TRANSYLVANIA FAIR Several inquiries have been made recently of The Times as to status oi a vaun.ty fair for Transylvania this fall. County Agent Glazener, when ap proached, stared that he was also having many inquiries from people from various sections of the county. Mr. Glazener states that if enough people are interested, a fair will be held. Two Ir,i Mayor’# Court Only two cases were tried by Mayor A. H. Harris Monday night, both charges growing out of the c»d, old story here—one drink too many. | Eight-o-five in one case and eight 1 forty-five in the other were the amounts collected. One of the de I fendants, a chap of 16 or 17. was given a severe lecture by His Honor, and the youngster left the court with the promise that he wouldn’t be , back. Soft Ball League Only one soft ball game in the ! Brevard senior loop has been playea ; since last publication date, the Epis copals downing the Baptists bv the count of 1 to 0. Bill Bridges, twirler for the winning club, turned in a j thVee-hit performance and was danger only one time. Many Calls Received For Vegetables Here (J. A. Glazener, Co. Agt.) Vegetable buyers are calling daily at the county agent’s office. Could have sold over 1,000 bushels of green beans in the last few days. Just, had a letter from a big pro-1 duce buyer in Savannah, Ga., want ing to know how many beans we] could furnish him and when they_j would be ready. Other buyers are re-1 questing the same information. I observe that there are several acres planted to late beans. If the owners of these beans will write a card to this office or get in touch with either of the vocational teach ers, it seems that there should be no trouble in marketing the bean?.! Don’t wait until the beans are ready! to sell to let us know, but do it now, | stating how many you expect to have and when they will be ready for market. This will enable us to get in touch with several buyers who have reques ted that we let them know < when the beans will be ready for the j market. We cannot promise a positive sale] for all the produce you let us know i about, but it is a known fact that wo i cannot put buyers in contact with | producers unless we know who the i producers are and what they have to offer the buyer. A penny postal card I telling what you have for sale and i when it will be ready may be th; j means of selling several dollar* worth of produce that otherwis * i might go to waste. 1 .

The educational camp or training school will be of four weeks dur ation, the special term to close on September 21, with the college open ing scheduled for September 23. The National Youth Administra tion is a part of the FERA, and tlv> teachers being brought to Brevard College for one month of special training will receive instruction in the organization and conduct of com munity schools for adults. Seventeen of these educational camps or schools will be held in 11 states, with the Brevard school being for four weeks, and the Meuse For «rt high school setup, near New Bern for six weeks. The third train ing institution is to be in the sou’h central part of the state, the first two for white women between the ages of 16 and 25, and the la-t (ini' to be for negro women. The program will be similar lo that carried on last year, when there were 2 residential schools and edu cational emphasis will be placed on adjustment and counseling in order that the women may attain a better idea of how to adapt themselves to changing economic conditions. After conferring with Mayor A. H.

Winston-Salem received the larg est allocation, $38,827. Some towns got as low as $50. The proposed allocation is not on a per capita basis but is based upon what appears to be the maintenance needs in the municipalities as they have been estimated by state engi neers. Rogers Death Cause of Deep Regret Here Radio reports here last Friday morning to the effect that Will Rog ers and Wiley Post had been killed in an Alaska airplane crash wero received with deep regret. As meagre details of the crash were reported by radio bulletins, chief topic of conversation when ever two or more people met hinged about Will Rogers. Complete news of the eresh was not learned until Saturday on ac count of the fact that the noted aviator and equally noted newspaper humorist, movie star and newspaper ‘columnist were in a nearly inaccessi ble part of Alaska when the crash i occurred. i Verne Clement, manager of the i Clem son Theatre, stated that Wi ll I Rogers’ pictures were among his i best drawing cards. Mr. Clement said that he would possibly bring two 'more pictures starring Rogers' here i during the next few months, the last the noted man made. Not C. E, Tinsley, Jr. C. E. Tinsley, Jr., states that he was working in Brevard on Monday morning of last week at the time l Milan Nicholson was struck by a 1 stray .22-calibre bullet. A mixup of ! information by The Times was re ' sponsible for the error.
