NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1937. $1.00 PER YEAR IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY VOL, 42: NO. 28. ...n ■■ Mgsg ■ - ' 1 ■■■ —===gggaa' h HONEST BOY FINDS LOST POCKETBOOK Young Chap’s Honesty Worthy of Recording—Two Les sons Are Taught Despite the pessimistic die-hards and those who persist tn telling any who will listen that the world Is going to the dogs and the Devil himself has a first mortgage on 09 per cent of the people, there are honest people still In Transylvania county. Last Saturday morning. David Gar ren, of the Selica section lost his pook etbook, containing six one dollar bills To some, maybe six dollars Is not a lot of money, but those "sotuebouys do not run a newspaper and ha\e to meet a payroll every Saturday, and bills for supplies every 10th. neither do they work on a farm and have to make the crops and cash income bal ance off the outlay that is necessary for taxes, repairs, clothes, school books, the preacher, and a hundred and one other things which a farmer has to pay for out of his income. Anyway, Mr. Garren. was smarter than most folk arc. When he discovered that he had lost his pocket book he immediately invested a quarter of a dollar In a "LOST" ad in The Home Paper. Ordinarily, the average person would say, "No use spending a quar ter when I’ve already lost six dollars.' But the statement is reiterated, there are honest people tn Transylvania, and most people take The Times, and all of them read the Classified Ad section. To make a long story short, Wlntzel Tins ley. 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs A. E. Tinsley of Route Three, found the pocketbook, and like the honest chap that he is, carried the money home to his mother. Mrs. Tinsley put the pocketbook up and waited until The Times came out Thursday morning to see If some local person had lost the sum of money, and there was Mr. Garren's ad. identically describing the pocketbook and money. Mr. Tins ley brought the purse to The Times office, and Wlntzel was given a dollar for his honesty, and Mr. Garren re ceived his pocketbook back, and five of his six dollars. There are honest people in Transyl vania county. AND "IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE." Methodists To Hold Two Special Services Two special services will be held at the Brevard Methodist church, Sunday, according to an announcement of the pastor, the Rev. J. H. Rrendall. At the 11 o'clock hour Benefactors Day will be observed, at which time the friends of the church whose dona tions have made it possible for the con gregation to more adequately serve the college will be honor guests. Of special significance will be the rendition of a solo by Miss Adelaide Van Wey. guest soloist of the morning. Miss Van Wey is spending her vacation at her home here, having returned from New York City, where she Is studying voice and is connected with the Schola Cantoruin and In radio broadcasting. The church takes great pride in announcing her as a part of the program on this occasion. The sermon subject, as announced by the pastor, is. “Meeting the Needs of Humanity in Our Day.” At 8 o'clock in the evening, a can dlelight communion service will replace the regular evening worship. Mem bers of other congregations and visit ing friends are cordially invited to at tend and take part in the service. Mrs. Wilson Resigns Mrs. T. J. Wilson announced the first of this week that her resignation ns county supervisor of women's work under the WPA goes into effect the 15th of this month. Mrs. Wilson said that she appreci ated the cooperation of the sponsors of the various projects, and also the loyalty and good fellowship shown by those who have worked under her supervision for the past two yean. Supervisor to succeed Mrs. Wilson in the work has not been mimed. Information During the past week (as usual) the office telephone at The Times rang numerous times, and various people asked for sundry Informa tion which was gladly (as usual) given. However, two queries were so out of the ordinary that they make news: One lady called last Friday after noon, and when the phone was an swered with (the usual) 'Times office, - speaking,” the chap on the receiving end of the phone nearly dropped the instrument when the party on the other end asked. “What day of the week Is this?” "Beg pardon, Madam," and the query was repeated, "What day of the week is this—Thursday or Friday?” and of course the answer was Friday. “Thank you," very sweetly the voice on the other end of the line said, "we were having an argument as to the day." Another unusual query was over long distance from Asheville, and the chap on the other end of the line wanted to know how to cor rectly spell FICE DOG, that there was a bet on in his office and The Times was to decide which was winner. The money was taken down when the party was told that FICE, FEIST, and FIST, either or all three would be o. k., but that FICE was the accepted spelling. Noted Song Leader R. R. McKINNEY, of Nashville, Tenn., who will conduct a special somt service at the RTU meetinp to be held at Carr's Hill church Sunday.

Special courses will be studied along the lines of livestock, recreation, agriculture, engineering, poultry, par liamentary procedure, personal im provement and various other subjects of general interest. The time spent at this Short Course will lie educational and we believe really worth while. Edward Glazener will receive a free trip to the week's short course by rea son of his having been designated aut standing 4-H club member of the county.

Wlndley, of Beaufort, a graduate of Pennsylvania Medical Col lege, Is the new health officer.

Hinton, of Raleigh, a graduate of North Carolina State College, and who has been connected with the state board of health since 1929, is sanitari an, and his headquarters have likewise been established at Brevard. Miss Bunton, will be full-time nurse for this county, and will devote her entire time to the health program here. Miss Lillian Jenkins, of Brevard, has been named secretary of the health unit. Under the plans which were first considered, it was expected that the health officer’s headquarters would be located in another town, either Hen dersonville or Waynesvllle, and that he would be able to give only part of his time to the work here. However, under the present arrangement. Dr. Wlndley will be able to devote nearly all of his time here, and will be out of the county but very little before Sep tember 1, when he plans to take spe cial training at Chapel Hill.

Cost to the county of Transylvania and the town of Brevard, which two j municipal units are cooperating In the work, will be $1,500 per year as their part of the salaries for the four health department workers.
