THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES A Newspaper Devoted to the Best Interest of the People of Transylvania County SECOND SECTION Vol. 51; No. 43 BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA^ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1541 $1.50 PER YEAR IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY SEEN AMD HEARDj — In — j “Land of Waterfall*0 By Staff Writers +.~—. i The time has come once more.... yes siree, it’s apple pickin’ time in Western North Carolina again, and thousands of bushels of apples are be ing harvested by orchardists in the mountain area. Even ye old scribe went out to get a few the other day, and to do a little photography on the side. We took some (with the picture machine, we mean) Virginia Beauties, or maybe it was Stayman Winesaps, but anyway the beauty with them was a Tar Heel, Mrs. Johnnie Clark, who willingly posed in front of a heavily-laden tree while we were busy clicking shutters. We be lieve you’ll agree with us that she made a good model to set off the apples. If you need proof, see the picture elsewhere in this week’s issue of The Times....but you’ve already seen it, no doubt. The Irish potatoes have a wray with them....in Transylvania county espec ially. You know, it’s been said that the Greeks had a word for it....well, the Irish potatoes in this county have a way to grow that leaves them to be digged up in various forms. Previously we men toined two potatoes that had been brought into our sanctum bedlam.... one by Mr. Lem Brooks and another by Mrs. Hester McGaha... .this time the odd and unusual comes from Mr. Flem Glazener from up Rosman way— .and it's not so much the potato as what it got itself into—a teaspoon. Yep, this potato grew right into the bowl of a teaspoon, with the handle curled back alongside of the potato. All in the world it lacked was the cooking, and it would have been ready to eat....just pick it right up in its spoon it brought along with it from the ground up. One of these press days when we get real hungry we’re going to drop the potato, spoon and all, into the melting pot and have hot lead and potatoes to ease the head ache of press day. Such an epidemic as we had in Bre vard and Transylvania county over the past week-end has no right to be men tioned in a column such as this, but Let Me Fill Your Next PRESCRIPTION 15 Years Experience C.

J TABLE SHOWS DATA ON NEW INCOME TAX The new 1941 Federal Revenue Act doubles personal income taxes in the middle brackets, and more than triples them in the lower brackets. Corporation taxes are sharply increased, and rise to an all time high. How tremendous these increases real ly are is shown by the following com parison between the 1940 and 1941 laws. This illustration is based on the income of a married person with no depend ents: Net In. 1940 Law $ 2,500 $ 11 5,000 110 10.000 528 25.000 3,843 New Law % Inc. $ 290.00 700% 375.00 240% 1.305.00 147% 6.846.00 80% DINNER 15 GIVEN FOR MRS. BOGGS — A surprise dinner for Mrs. Hattie C. Boggs was given at her home at Pisgah Forest last Sunday by all of her chil dren. The entire family was gathered at the old home place for the first time in eight years. Those present for the dinner includ ed Miss Fanny Boggs, of Oteen; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Byday, of Morganton; Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Coggins, formerly of De troit, Michigan, but who have recently moved here; Miss Harriett Boggs, of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Boggs, W. R. Boggs, and Andrew Boggs. All grandchildren were present ex cept Miss Mildred Byday who is nurs ing at Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem and was unable to attend. Miss Harriett Boggs, who is recuper ating from a serious knee injury she received in a fall while on duty at Wo man’s Hospital in Detroit, will leave next Monday to resume her duties there. 956 Get Lump Sum S S Payments In ’41 Bump sum payments made under the Social Security Act in cases where an insured worker died leaving no family member entitled to monthly survivors’ insurance benefits went to 956 persons in North Carolina during the first six months of 1941, according to T. Bos worth Hulcher, manager of the social security office at Asheville, N. C. These payments totaled $90,095, he said, add ing that the number of persons receiv ing payment is greater than the number of deceased wage earners, with respect to whose wages payments were made, since on the death of some insured workers more than one person may be entitled to share in the lump-sum pay ment. Mrs. Brown Knits For British Aid Mrs. W. A. Brown, 75, mother of W. T. Brown, county jailer and deputy sheriff, spends her spare time knitting for the Bundles for Britain local chapter. Recently Mrs. Brown knitted 13 pairs of socks and four mufflers to be sent to the British. there were two incidents, not big enough to be accidents, which occurred late last Saturday afternoon that we’ll have to speak a word about. Both of them took place on the corner of Whitmire and Caldwell streets right near Virginia Bodge where Brevard college co-eds abide. This is what happened. Within a period of thirty minutes, two cars side swiped the same electric light pole, do ing about the same amount of damage in practically the same place on the cars. To our mind, that is a case of identicalities, though they were of an unpleasant nature. Incidentally, we might add, neither of the drivers was hurt—in the same place. / ORDER YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS !

Phone 172 AUTO USE TAX BE EFFECTIVE FEB. 1 Motorists Will Pay $5 Per Year For Privilege To Use Automobiles Beginning1 February 1, Transylvania motorists, along with motorists through out the nation, will get a taste of an entirely new tax—a federal levy on the use of an automobile. Mrs. Mary Jane McCrary, manager of the Carolina Motor Club branch office here, has called attention to the new tax, saying that it would be approxi mately $2.10 for the five months be ginning February 1 and ending June 30 (the end of the federal fiscal year) and that the subsequent annual levy would be $5 per vehicle. Post offices, Mrs. McCrary said, have been authorized to assist in the col lection of the tax, and it is probable that some sort of tag or sticker may be is sued at the post office to persons paying the tax. It is understood that the use tax was enacted in order to avoid an increase in the federal tax on gasoline. Used Car Dealer At New Location It was announced yesterday that J. R. Hamlin is now selling used cars at the Brevard Auto Supply company which is owned and operated by L. D Martin. In the advertising columns of The Times, Mr. Hamlin issues a special invitation to all of his friends to visit him at his new location. Mr. Hamlin hits been selling used cars in Brevard for a number of years. For some time he was connected with Ed Street of Asheville and Brevard, and recently with the Atkins Motor Sales Co. He says he now can offer those per sons interested in buying used cars a stock of over 300 from which to choose. Few Chinese are able to buy a whole can of sardines at one time, so these fish are sold one at a time there. v&r - DEER HUNT IS APPROVED BY STATE GROUP The state board of conservation and development approved plans for the shooting of doe In the annual Pisgah Forest, deer hunt this year but warned it would not do so again, at a special meeting at Asheville on Monday. Decision of the board followed ap pearance of A. C. Shaw of the Atlanta regional office of the U. S. Forest ser vice, H. B. Bosworth, supervisor of Pis gah and F. J. Ruff, technician. The state and the federal forest ser vice have long been at odds over the Pisgah deer hunts and once carried their disagreement to the U. S. supreme court, where the forest service was upheld in its contention that it had control of game on the forest lands. The conservation board voted to “con cur in the plans of the forest service” to conduct the hunt “although it does not approve the shooting of doe, in view of the inclusion of this area in the co operative game management program between the state and the federal gov ernment, now pending and probably to be consummated by next season, and on condition that it will not again approve the taking of doe.” Burrell Infant Dies Funeral On Tuesday Fred Burrell, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Burrell, died at the home here Monday after several weeks illness. Funeral services were conducted at the residence on Tuesday by the Rev. B. W. Thomason. Interment was in the Gillespie cemetery. Surviving the child are a twin brother, Frank, who v3® very ill the first of the w’eek, and a number of other brothers and sisters and the parents. Osborne-Simpson were in charge of arrangements. 4-H Club Hears Talks By Two County Leaders The Calvert-Cherryfleld 4-H club held the regular meeting Tuesday night at the Calvert church. The president, Martha Whitmire, was in charge of the meeting. Miss Teague, county demonstrator, and E. L. Shore, assistant county agent, were present and made talks to the members. Following refreshments, the club adjourned to meet next on the second Tuesday in November. COURSE ARE GIVEN Ten Young Men Are Taking Flight Training During * all Semester Grady W. Campbell, head of the in dustrial division of Brevard college and ground instructor and coordinator in the government’s civilian pilot training program, announced enrollees in the primary course for the fall semester which opened on October 1. The course is taught jointly by the Meyer Flying service, Hendersonville, and Brevard College. The opening of the fall semes ter marked the fourth session of the CPT course to be taught primary stu dents here. Enrollees for the fall semester include Clarence Alfred Carpenter, of Asheville; Clay Tom Carpenter, of Brevard; Robert Hardin Crowder, of Shelby: Robert Clayton, of Brevard; Clinton Parker, of Cherryville; Edwin Ponder, of Rosman; William Silver, of Brevard; Peter Doub Strum, of Brevard; Robert Weaver, of Asheville; and Carl Gibson, of Marion. Two auditors for the fall session of the program are G. H. Farley and Kin McNeil, both of Brevard. In making announcement of the en rollees for the fall semester of the pri mary flight training course, Mr. Camp bell stated that according to various analysis made by different authorities the importance of the CPT program in national defense s becoming increasing ly great. He said that by the end of June, 1941, over 7,000 CPT trainees had entered the Army or Navy armed forces and that more than 1200 had become flight instructors in various capacities in the national defense program. In view of the above facts, Mr. Camp bell said, instructor training will be emphasized in the fall program. By so doing, he emphasized, the fall program of training CPT students now under way will help to prevent the threaten ing bottleneck in instructor production.
