Thank Offering Oppor
tunity Offered For
People To Help
Unfortunate
Effort will be made to offer every
person in tlio county opportunity to
contribute to the Transylvania Com
munity Hospital fund by Thanksgiv
ing. it was decided at a meeting of
chairmen of the commutes with Harry
H. Straus, chairman of the finance
committee, last Saturday morning.
Reports from various committee
chairmen signified that interest in the
move to build a new community hos
pital here was exceptionally good, and
that several groups and individuals had
already made contributions to the $25,
000 fund which will be required to
match like amount from the Duke
Foundation.
The group decided that plans should
be drawn immediately for the building,
and that details of the building, and
operation of the new hospital should be
decided upon and given to the general
public so that people who contribute
to the fund will know for what and
how their money will be spent.
Soliciting committees in the business
section of Brevard reported that they
were meeting with fine response, and
several of the schools, as well as Sun
day School classes, clubs, and fraternal
organizations were expected to make
reports of actual cash paid In during
this week.
Under the Duke Foundation plan, all
funds raised locally will be matched
dollar for dollar for construction of
building and equipping the community
hospital, and In addition, one dollar
per day will be paid by the foundation
for each strictly charity or non-pay
patient.
At cl03e of the meeting Saturday,
Chairman Straus gummed up the drive
for funds with the expression that
"This Is a chance for all people to have
a real thankful Thanksgiving, by giv
ing a thank offering to an Institution
which will not only serve the people
who are making the community hos
pital possible, but will be a thank of
fering to be used for those who are
less fortunate In all the years to come.”

Inc.” was unanimously chosen as name
for the Institution which is getting the
Interest and backing of all the county.
The name, and methods of naming
trustees to have charge of operating
the hospital and its business methods
were voted on at the meeting of the
executive committee here last Thursday
evening.
The twenty or more members of the
executive committee present felt that
the word "community” should be used
In the name of the new Institution for
which funds to match the Duke En
dowment of $25,000 are now being se
cured. And, the community should be
represented fully on the board of trus
tees, it was consensus of opinion, in
asmuch as people In every section of
the county are making contributions
for erection and fitting out of the 30
bed community institution.
After due consideration of proposals
for naming trustees the group adopted
the following plan:
On the second Monday after the dedi
cation of the Hospital the term of the
present Trustees shall expire and on
that date the present trustees shall
elect four trustees to serve as their
successor with the privilege to the four
so elected to elect their successors.
That one of the remaining five trus
tees shall be elected by the Board of
Commissioners of Transylvania county
to serve until the first Monday In Jan
uary 1941 and that thereafter his suc
cessors be elected by said board to
serve for a term of two years; that
another of said trustees shall be elected
by the Board of Aldermen of the town
of Brevard to serve until the first Mon
day In June, 1941, and that thereafter
his successors be elected by said Board
to serve for a term of two years; that
another of said Trustees shall be elected
by the Medical Association of Tran
sylvania County to serve until the
first Monday In January, 1941, and

vania county Is Sid Barnett's Machine
Shop at Plsgah Forest where mechanics
are turning out big Jobs and little Jobs
on the Improved machinery which has
been added by the firm during the past
year.
Repairs to heaters, trucks, tractors,
10-ton road machinery, gears for an
out-of-date machine which Is no longer
on the market, putting a new piece on
a machine that has given way under
strain of load or long wear, cutting
gears on a wheel that requires several
men to lift—it Is all In a day’s work
at Sid Barnett's.
New lathes, gear cutters, planing
mills that whittle down steel and Iron
just like a facer does In a wood shop,
acetylene and electric welding, or cut
ting a two-inch steel plate—there are
different Jobs going on at all times all
over the machine shop, with the 11
employes busy every day, and some
times far Into the night when a rush
order for repairs to a machine comes In.
In business at Plsgah Forest for
years, Sid's place has been the general
repair shop for the county, and has
grown from year to year until he has
had to add new space for shop room
and a new building recently for his
stock of supplies.
Bolts, screws, nuts and washers, pip
ing and pipe fittings, brass, copper,
and even parts for plows and farm ma
chinery, are all carried in the new
stock rooms that have recently been
added to the main building.
Stove bolts one Inch long, or leg
screws ten Inches, they all have specific
places in the Barnett stock room. Wash
ers big enough for a youngster to use
as wagon wheels, and then some small
enough to use In the penny gum vend
ing boxes.
A trip through the shop is an Inter
esting two hours, and no visitor is al
lowed to get out until he has admired
the new 300-amp portable electric
Westinghouse welding machine which
has been built at the shop, and which
Is to be carried to jobs In any section
of Western Carolina where welding
needs to be done on the job on heavy
machinery that cannot be moved to
the shop at Pisgah Forest.
Stacks of steel In the back of the
shop, an acetylene generating plant,
supplies for welding, brazing, and for
making gears or drive shafts, and hun
dreds of other Items that are all
"dutch" to the average layman but
have a specific place in the dally woVk
of a machine shop that fixes this, that
and the other for the distressed pub
lic, rpake up a complete business that
enables Barnett’s place to say "We re
pair anything."

Annual Pisgah Deer Hunt
Expected To Start Monday
While complete plans for the annual
deer hunt In Plsgah National Forest
have not been officially sent to head
quarters In this county, it Is expected
that the hunt will be started Monday
of next week, and continue for four
weeks.
Ranger Jack Fortin said Tuesday that
he had not received definite Instructions
as to conducting the hunt, but that
announcement had been made from
the office of H. B. Bosworth, super
visor, that the hunt would be held.
Federal Judge I. M. Meeklns ruled
last Saturday that the federal govern
ment has exclusive jurisdiction over
game in Plsgah National Forest, and
granted the United States a permanent
Injunction restraining North Carolina
from lnterferrlng with the national
park service In supervision of game In
the 97,000 acre tract.
The decision was rendered following
a suit brought by the federal govern
ment against the game department of
North Carolina, which group, the fed
eral men alleged, had Interferred with
operation of the game preserve, and
especially the 'shipping of live game
from the Pisgah area to other national
parks.
Agents of the forest service were
arrested by state authorities when
they attempted to ship deer out of
the forest to another area, the state
officers alleging in their warrant that
the act of shipping game was a vio
lation of the laws of the State of North
Carolina.
An extensive hearing was held In
Raleigh before Judge Meekins two
weeks ago, and the federal Jurist an
nounced his decision after a week’s
deliberation. The Judge said he based
his decision upon a special act of the
1916 general assembly of North Car
olina, which granted the fereral gov
ernment authority to make ‘'all need
ful rules and regulations" for the pro
tection of game in Plsgah National
Forest.
Decision to hold the hunt was an
nounced Tuesday from the office of
the Supervisor, Bosworth, In Asheville,
and while details of the hunt could not
be secured in time for publication in
The Times Tuesday afternoon, it is
expected that hunters from states other
than North Carolina will be allowed
to hunt In the Plsgah game preserve
during the four weeks, and not be re
quired to buy North Carolina licenses.
Possibility that state licenses from the
home state of the hunter would be .
required, could not be confirmed by
the Plsgah ranger office. , 1
