Red Cross Water Pageant To Be!
Staged At Carolina Monday Eve!
Annual Red Cross Water Pageant
will be staged at Camp Carolina Lake
near Brevard on Monday night, June
22, beginning at 8:15 o'clock.
Over two hundred people will take
part In the water fete ami story that
will be told in pageantry, and will be
one of the most elaborate affairs to be
staged here this year. There will he no
charge for admission, and the natural
ampitheatre surrounding beautiful Car
olina Ink* will adequately care for the
several thousand people who are ex
pected to attend.
Added features this year will be light
ing effects, swimming and diving acts
by experts, and the famous "human
fish" landing by Jimmy McMIlllan that
has proven to be one of the big draw
ing cards in Florida during the past
winter season. In this act. McMIlllan.
will hook a swimmer who weighs
around 175-pounds. Using a bamboo
pole and a 5G-pound test lino, the ex
pert will land the "human fish” in
spite of nil the swimmer can do, In
less than ten minutes.
The pageant this year will he tho
"Broken Arrow.” and depicts In color
ful manner tho salvation of two tribes
of Indians by the American Red Cross.
It har been a bad year in the wig
wams of the Great Bows, (a land
tribe of Indians.) Prayer, dance and
sacrifice have failed to placate the In
dian gods. Their crops will not grow—
there Is no food for man or animal
—plague and famine threnten to ravage
their villages. Finally, their chief has
commanded tho greatest ceremony of
all—braves and old men. squaws, pa
pooses. medicine men—war maidens—
nil are gathered in a last desperate
supplication.
The sentries announce the approach
of canoes, and across the lake come
the Aqua canoes, (a tribe of water In
dians) in a majestic procession, head
ed by tho water monster which they
worship. They signal peace, and the
chief landing, greets the assemblage of
the Grent Bows. Then the two chiefs
tell each other of the famine which
threatens to annihilate the red-man. A
rumble of thunder In the distance sends
them down upon their faces In terror
f id a terrific storm warns them that
he gods are answering.
■ Bnrley has the storm abated, when a
strange white boat approaches—they
signal peace—It Is the American Red
Cross, sent with medicines and food.
Some of the white-coated men and
nurses unload food and medicines while
others carry nway the prostrate In
dians. All tribes headed by their chiefs
and medicine men preform solemn
ceremonies of gratitude to the Ameri
can Red Cross, the Greatest Mother in
the world.

the field to Governor Landon.
The 68-year-old Kansas chief execu
tive who now leads the Republican
party In its onslaught against the New
Deal, has had an interesting career as
a business man and politician, and is
hailed by Republicans the nation over
as the one man to defeat President

law.

Department of State College, the Tran
sylvania county agents, fann commit
tees and business men of the communi
ty.
This will be the first Bed Polled

spirit which is being shown by S. Clay
Williams of Winston-Salem, and B. D.
Bybrook of Advance, who consented to

tle hoie after twenty farmers and busi
ness men had visited the Red Polled
farms and requested assistance of the
men in bringing the desired dual

hundred head on the Reynolds-Lybrook
farm, and each animal Is from milk
producing strain cows that have been

herd has been winners in shows
throughout the Vnited States, and an
cestors of the cattle being sent here for

champions of the Red Polled cattle
shows in five different years.
Red Polled cattle are regarded as the
outstnnd^ig breed of dual purpose cat
tle in the world.
They will produce dairy products
quite as economically as will any of the
strictly dairy breeds and will produce
beef quite as cheaply and of as good
quality as will any of the beef breeds.
These cattle are of English origin and
in England they have been milk trial
champions at both London Dairy and
Royal shows.
At the 1931 Smitafield show (Great
Britain's great beef cattle snow) Red
Polls sold for a higher average price
per cwt. than did all of the other breeds
and crosses At Chicago they have won
first in carcass contests.
Red Polled cattle are red with some
times a little white on their udders.
They are hornlees. They are thrifty,
good feeders, good grazers, and hardy.
They combine economical productions
of dairy products and high class beef
in the same breed, and in the same
animal.
Leading farmers, and dairy exten
sion workers who have checked Into all
phases of the Red Polled cattle are
convinced that for Transylvania county
farms, this is the ideal breed.
