EDITORIAL Transylvania people will work if given the opportunity. This was clearly proven Monday morning when over three hundred men from all sections of the county braved a steady downpour of rain and were at the Ecusta Paper Corporation plant site, at Pisgah Forest before seven o’clock, wanting to go to work, on the job, at any sort of work there was to be had. With no office facilities, it was impossible to take ap plications in the open field and the men were told to re turn later when a temporary office had been established. It was a disappointmnt to the men, some of whom had come from fifteen and twenty miles distance, but the rain refused to stop its downpour, and no work of any nature could be started. However, the fact was clearly proven that Transyl vania people do want to work, and that they will take heavy jobs that construction work calls for if they are given a chance. Some there are, who would have one believe that our people are indolent, and do not want jobs that call for hard labor—but such is not the case, and this newspaper is happy that the fact has been clearly shown to the new plant people, and to the county itself that Transylvania folks are not lazy. _ College Gymnasium Building To Be Started Here June Thirteenth Work will start on the Brevard College gymnasium on June IS, it was announced Tuesday night by Presi dent E.
