BIBLE THOUGHT THE PURE WORD OF GOD: Thy word Is very pure: therefore thy serv ant loveth It—Psalms 119:140. NO HEAD LOSING WANTED HERE This community Is on the eve of an Industrial expansion which is greater in comparison than any of its neigh boring counties, and the warning Is, we consider very timely, to the effect that our folk don’t “lose their heads.” We will not be the Utopia, even if the new development Is to be of great magnitude. Business conditions here will Improve by reason of industrial expansion, but It will not warrant mushroom activity, and the sincere hope Is expressed that our people will not get the miscon ception which seems to be prevailing here that this will be the land of per fection. and that no more will there be need for looking forward with sanity. There WILL he increased employ ment; there WILL be a bigger pay roll here sometime within the year; there WILL tie jobs for some of our people who have been wanting to work for the last several years and have been denied this privilege—but again. 1* WILL NOT be an Utopia. There will be jobs for some of our folk in Brevard and Transylvania county within a few weeks, but w» arc assured that “home folks” will be used by our now "home folk” cor poration, and those who come from “outside” looking to find employment will probably be sadly disappointed. » tlgnoss of the Industrial project Is not an assumption—it Is real—but It Is not so big that the man who owns a house can Jump his rents overnight, and the man who has real property for sale can say “This Is a gold mine, because we're getting a payroll." Let’s b^ sarely happy over the good Iuck which Is coming our way. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY The word happy tells exactly how j The Transylvania Times and ait the people in our county really are at this time. Because Nature provided us with clear, pure water, an Ideal valley, and good people, this community is to be tile home of tile Ecusta Paper Corpor ation's new plant. The Transylvania Times is a happy newspaper because It has had much to do in bringing about a realization of' the dreams of our leaders for years — building of an Industry of huge pro portions on Davidson River. Harry Patton is a happy man be cause he has worked hard, long, and without a cent of pay, and spent hun dreds of dollars in doing the things that were necessary to “put the house tn order" for the new concern to come here. All our business men amt civic-mind ed citizens are happy because most of them at some time during the past five months have contributed of their [ time, their money, or their influence i In bringing something good to the community. The work has been a labor or love tor j the two men who spent most of their time for several months, and much of their cash on the project and have done so at their own expense with no hopes of any remuneration other than to set the community a more prosper ous piace for all to live. The new corporation’s officials are happy because they found here an Ideal location for their plant, and they are happy, too, because the people here have been very cordial to them, and have given them the assurance of a mutual co-operation which will be p’easant. beneficial, and fruitful for ali concerned. Everyone In the county should be happy because we have been favored by such a fine group of business men as compose the Ecusta Papor Corpora tion, who have been very gracious In their dealings with the local people, and who will, we are assured from past connections, continue this fine spirit. “Happy Days Are Here Again." Owe Mrs. Knox DeLong an apology for an omission In the paper two weeks ago—she worked all winter and spring for The Times, and then through over sight was snubbed by the "old man of The Times.” Sorry, and promise to do better In the future. —8—8— Ura-m-m, Beer-Bames circus wasn't such a thriller, but at least It was clean, which Is far more than could be said about some of the tent outfits that have been here In the past. -8—8— Big black bear at the circus had a lot more sense than some of our folks hereabouts. An’ although, he was "at the circus," he stayed sober as a Judge. For that matter, don't believe there was a drink at the night performance. —8—8— Never-the-less I’m ”agln-lt" bring ing the tented organization to Brevard. Maybe I'm getting old fog-eye-ish, but when I see so many folk around try ing to eke out a living, I hate to see a dollar leave the community. _a—m— Cherries and strawberries are ripe In South Carolina—had proof of It Sun day night when Memory Mull brought me u basket of the delicious fruit off the vine and the tree, and a cherry tree limb hanging thick with red rtpes to prove genuineness. Hitch-hiking Is not such great fun by oneself—a^k Rabbi Wrubbel who tried it Sunday morning. Quintuplets born Saturday in Tran sylvania—but they were baby bulldogs. Miss Ruth McCall pulled the smart crack on the "old man” to get him awake Sunday morning—and just when I thought I had the ONE big news story of nil my life, she furthered the Information that the five babies were dogs belonging to Dr. R. L. Stokes. Anyway. It wa= a break In the monot ony of things. —S—S— Pulled my worst boner of the year Sunday. Down at Vlrge McCrary's fine country home, and after looking around s bit, asked him: "Where do you get your water from?” Any nit wit ought to have known that Virge McCrary would have a drilled well . . . I do now, because ho told me In no uncertain terms. Congressman Lee Whitmire took time out Sunday to do the “old man" a great favor . . . one of those kind that makes a chap want to get out and hustle for a man. especially when he's running for office. Lee can certainly add one more friend to the large list he alreadv has In his old home town. —S—S— The pasture on the other side of the fence always looks the greenest—but there are some swell fellows around Hendersonville—mikes It a good town. S S — Miss Daisy Orr was the first person to subscribe to The Transyl vanla Time* way back when yrs trly had the (???) idea that newspaper business was THE thing of all things, so naturally the item In last week's paper to the effect that she Is now Mrs. H. T. Headrick holds much interest for me. Incident ally, Miss Daisy has been able to put up with all my shortcomings, and the paper Is still going to her . . . paid for regularly, and I hope—enjoyed. New paint going on Main street buildings, adding every day to the nice, looks of the town . . Bradley’s, Parm er Supply. Variety Store, City Market . . . all on Main street . . .Amen, dear brethren, Amen! May there he many more. —-S—s— Think I’ll have The Times office painted, looks so good on other people’s places . . . A. B. Owen, who does the job for me every time It’s done sug gests that I use a "baby blue" and a cream white . . . wonder how that sounds to the folks who subscribe and really own the paper? —S—S— Remarkable bow well lot of people are responding to the Clean-Up, Patnt l'p drive . . . who said our people were lazy or slothful? Things look lot brighter for this county . . .the "old man” is proud, very proud that things are turning out nicely for us, and especially am 1 proud of the fine spirit of co-opera tion that most of our people have shown during the last several months. —S—S— Two "brand new" cafes—the Can teen, and Galloway’s . . .Clyde moved across the street next to Plummer’s new store and “Doc” moved to the Pickelsimer-Ramseur place just across the street . . . both fixed up nice . . . good eats, and both have good coffee— T know. —S—S— Mark Bagwell brought an In this week that has the facsim!!- «* *he A If I^andon Sunflower which loyal Republicans wore two years ago. But Marcus said reason for that was, he had been feeding the hens sunflowor seed, and that he hadn’t changed his politics. Brevard Team* Play On Foreign Ground* Both Brevard industrial league teams will play away Saturday afternoon, with the Tanners playing at Sayles, and Pisgah Spinners playing at Green River.

Vocational Teachers Plan W.N.C. Outing (By J. F. OorMnJ The Henderson-Transylvania county group of Vocational Agriculture teach ers held their April meeting In the Brevard high school on April 2(th. B. T. Frlsbee, chairman, presided and 11. E. Nesbitt, W. A. Franklin, and R. D. Bruce were on the program to tell how they teach agriculture. Each of these three men attempted to out line In a few minutes the main points used and the subject matter presented In their program giving the methods to the men and boys in their communi ties. Each community presents a different problem as well as each student In a class. Also each teacher has his own methods for doing things and when these are all brought together there Is room for plenty of discussion. It seems to be a fact that agriculture teachers meet more often, stay longer and have more to say than any other group. But that Is natural since there Is more to farming than any other subject. Tal H. Stafford was present and told about the Young Tar Heel camp that Is to be open this season near Bar nardvllle for the first time. The Y. T. H.
