All People Will Be Asked To Contribute To Hospital Fund By Thanksgiving Day 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.” Transylvania Commun ity Hospital Will Be Name New Institution "Transylvania Community Hospital. 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 (Continued on Back Paste) MACHINE SHOP BUSY DOING REPAIR JOBS Sid Barnett’* Plant Now Ha* Ultra-Modem Machines— Employs 11 People One of the busy spots In Transyl 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 THANKSGIVING WILL HAVE TWO OFFICIAL OBSERVANCES HERE Federal Employes Taking 23rd —State and General Public To Celebrate 30th The post offices of the county, mail carriers, and other federal workers will observe Thursday of this week, Nov. 28, as Thanksgiving Day, In ac cordance with proclamation issued by President Roosevelt.
