READER ANSWERS SQUIBS-SQUAWKS Brevard, June 10„ 1941. BREVARD, N. C., "The Sunshine Town”, and not too much MOON SHINE, ivhere / teas also permit ted to sneak out the back door of the Grill and into the back door of the Transylvania Times Office and pet paper free just like they do in St. Pete. Three thousand people live here dur ing the winter months, and SEVERAL, thousand during the COOL. summer months. True it's closer to Santa and the North Pole here. Have to brag on Brevard: it is a nice CITY (population three thousand), plus Doug, three thousand and— Don’t forget the nice breezes that come whizzing in from Caesar’s head, Mt. Pisgah and White Side Mountain— all pass right by Brevard. Doug, we don't have the wide side walk, but we do have that same ex tension bench in front of Ward's news ■stand, and Red Brewington is working hard trying to get us a good park. We still have the one in front of the old P. O. building, and it’s pretty good for tired people, but if one is just plain lazy, then it’s not much good. I see why you nave all the nice things to say about Edwin Saltz and Mrs. It's not them, it's the 1900’s. Doug., you have seen our P. O. but you should have seen the gang at the dedication. Good speakers and all, but I don’t think they even broke a bottle at the christening. Tough, huh? First you are in a shoe store, next you are saying nice things about some doc tor's daughter. I suppose you are think ing about trying to thumb your way to Brevard about the time of the Red Cross meet this year. I am not growing any cucumbers this year, Doug, but I surely have some fine tomato plants, also have put out some dahlia bulbs, which our good friend Roger Peace gave me and wrhen you come up I’ll give you a flower (a red one) for your lapel. Well, we miss you and your jabber, so when you are ready come on back— all is forgiven. Tar-Heelishlv yours, Earl Twiggs. ARMY RECRUITING COLORED MEN FOR SERVICE IN AREA Eek Li.
