i. Drinking Fountains In connection with the public drinking fountain question that is now being debated in Brevard, some one made an interesting suggestion that if the town fath ers acquiesce to the proposal, as contained in petitions, that they also construct at least one drink ing fountain for horses and mules. It was pointed out that many years ago—probably two decades —what was then known as the Brevard Betterment association, composed of leading women in town, raised the money for and had erected such a fountain. Af ter a number of years, during which the need for it decreased, the fountain was demolished and it was never replaced. Now that gasoline restrictions may force farm people and others who fre quent Brevard to rely somewhat on “Old Dobbin” for their motive power, perhaps a drinking foun tain for animals will be needed! Regardless of this, however, this column is in favor of the town constructing at least two more fountains for the conveni ence of the public. Four more, we think, would be too many. An Unusual Advertisement With reference to public services and public restrictions, in a re cent issue of The Morganton News Herald was a unique advertise ment, captioned “Expectorating on Sidewalks Forbidden by Law.” The body copy cited the law and explained that the “police depart ment for the town of Morganton has been instructed to make ar rests and the penalty will be im posed for violations of the law-” . . . . That’s a darn good town law. It prohibits expectorating or throwing litter on sidewalks. The local town board has not authoriz ed the insertion of such notice here, but this column thinks it would be a good idea. Wooden Soles, Maybe For the hundreds of persons in Brevard and Transylvania who make leather, it is perhaps diffi cult to realize that before this war ends shoe manufactures may 4 have to “go Holland” and make soles out of wood. Believe-it-or not, soles are already being made partly out of wood, with a little veneering of leather. Poor Eyes—But Must Have Times “I want to renew my paper,” said J. V. Gillespie of Brevard, Route 2, when he stepped into the office Saturday. “I can’t get along without The Times and I want it continued to me. Just notify me when it expires. My eyes are poor and I can’t read any too well, but my wife reads to me and we both enjoy every issue of the paper.” Thank you for these kind words, Mr. Gillespie. We strive every week to put out a paper of a quality that Transylvania county people will feel they cannot get along without it, and we believe we are achieving a degree of suc cess for weekly scores of people come in to renew and new names j are being added to the mailing I list constantly. Little Things Count Up Don’t scorn the little things; enough of them make a great I bulk. For instance, the Saturday ! Evening Post announces that by ! using two staples instead of three to bind that popular maga zine 15 tons of wire are saved in one year. And that’s nothing to sneeze at in war times! Helped Negro Steal His Coal Living over in Shelby is an ! exceedingly kind hearted man. One cold morning recently he cranked up his car and started to town. He had gone but a short distance when he spied a negro trudging along with a bag of coal. He of fered the colored man a ride, which was accepted with alacrity. The man asked the negro if there was a coal sales place in the vi cinity and was informed there was. A few minutes later he let the negro out and proceeded to his place of business. About an hour after he arrived, his wife called to say that he would have to hurry over some coal, that their 100-pound residue had been Selica Couple Have Returned From Fla (Mrs. Ward Breedlove) Mr. and Mrs. Crate McCall and son, who moved from Cashiers to one of Tom McKinney’s cot tages, and made a 10-day trip to Florida, have returned to their home here. Mr. and Mrs. Vergil Gillespie have moved to the Connestee sec tion. Rev. L. B. Vaughn, of Slater, S. C., was a visitor in this communi ty on Sunday. J. P. Sitton and George Fowler were among the boys leaving for army duty last week. Mrs. Fowler will make here home with George’s parents, and Mrs. Sitton will live with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hilly Fisher, at Quebec. Mrs. George Orr, who has been very ill for some time, was taken to the Winston-Salem hospital re cently. WILL HOLD HEARINGS TODAY FOR TWO MEN I I Frank Parker and David Price, | both of Brevard, are slated to ap j pear before U. S. Commissioner Alex KiztfT this afternoon on I charges of violating the federal alcohol tax law. They were ap prenhended Monday night by Patrolman Morrow and Policeman Gill Thomas, who stated that they found 5 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey in a Pickup truck belong ing to Parker. The men are now under bonds of $200 each. stolen. The negro to whom the man had given a lift was the party i who filched the coal! Words For A Song Page Donald Lee Moore, Bre vard’s outstanding song writer. Here’re some words for a tune: If you can do without your coffee j and not complain; If you can do without your sugar and not go sour; If you can walk to a movie or to the bowling alley And not fuss, fume, curse, lament, criticize and swear; Then you’re a good American on the home front, old dear! | If you invest ten percent of your earnings in war bonds; If you collect scrap, contribute books, and give funds; If you do not try to tell the army how to run the war Or the Congress and the President they’re out of gear, Then you're a good American on the homefront, old dear! ,-v At PLUMMER’S Boys’ All-Wool Slip Over SWEATERS Solid colors and plaids.
