Km** t uj College Registrations Will Start Wednesday Morning i Brevard College will begin the new term next week, with students regis tering on Wednesday and Thursday, and classes to begin Saturday morning.

Sophomore day BREVARD WITHOUT WEATHER "There Is no weather In Brevard." Despite the fact that the average person has thought that there was an excess of "weather of sorts here for the past several days, there is no way of knowing Just how much, why and etc. It seems that Harry Patton has been keeping a dally check on the weather for the past ^several years, having been officially designated as a represent ative of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Mr Patton resigned when his term as city clerk expired, and the authorities seem to be in no hurry about appointing a successor. Last week over the tele phone, the Asheville office, which is head of this district, made the sugges tion that the reports be left alone for the time being, and so “we have no weather." County Schools All Started Monday Morn Schools of the county opened Monday with a record enrollment of students being reported from practically all schools. While accurate check could not be made Wednesday morning, it is believ ed that the total enrollment will reach, and maybe pas3, the 2500 mark. , - County Farmer* Will Attend 2-Day Meet Between 80 and 40 farmers of Tran sylvania county are planning to attend the two-day meeting at Cullowhee on Thursday and Friday.

Prominent farm leaders and officials of State College and the TVA will at attend the two-day session. Plans will be made at this meeting for holding a Western Carolina Farm and Home week next summer at Cullowhee.

Registrar Eck Sims points ont that there are no charges for Cling discharg es, and a permanent record will then be available in case the discharge Is lost or destroyed.

OLD AGE PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED HERE Aid to Dependent Children And For Blind Given OK By Committee Twelve people In Transylvania coun. ty have been approved for old age pensions, Mrs. Dora M. Patton said Monday, two for blind aid. and 10 families for aid to dependent chlL dren. The old age assistance ranges from five dollars to nine dollars per month, the' welfare officer said, while the de pendent children families receive from eight to seventeen dollars. Mrs. Patton said that applications were being sent in to the state office as fast as they could be prepared, but that the work was necessarily slow due to the fact that requirements of state and federal offices are very ex acting for all details as to status of applicants for aid under the security plan. The welfare officer explained that she had secured a list of practically all people of the county who oould possibly qualify for aid, and that the more urgent cases had been taken care of first, with others being inter viewed as rapidly as time would permit. It sometimes takes a full day to complete one application for old ago assistance, Mrs. Patton said, and often it takes several days’ time to make all the check-ups necessary for filing the forms, and especially is this true where the applicant does not have re quired information at hand. Prospects are notified by card when to report, and there is no necessity of applying at the welfare office until cards are sent out, the superintendent said. Application has been made for an as sistant field worker, Mrs. Patton said, which will double the speed of filing applications. In the meantime Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Allie B, Harlee as of fice assistant are taking care of the regular duties of the welfare office, and filling out applications for assistance as fast as they can.
