PEOPLE LIVING
NEAR TOWN DUMP
MAKE COMPLAINTS
Board Takes Action To Have
Paper Burn or Destroyed*
Met Monday Night
Following up recommendations
made by the state health depart
ment, the Brevard board of aider
men Monday night instructed
Clerk Alex Kizer to have the
town’s garbage collector, A. J.
Williams, to keep the disposal cen
ter in better condition.
People living near the town
dump complained that winds have
frequently scattered waste paper
all over their property and urged
the board to take action.
The state inspector said the
dump is kept in a sanitary condi
tion, but that paper should be
burned and other improvements
made in the disposal system.
At their meeting Monday night,
the board revoked the beer licens
es of Mattie Peerce who has been
convicted of liquor charges.
An audit of the town’s books
was authorized and a committee,
composed of O. H. Orr, Jerry Jer
ome and A. A. Trantham, was nam
ed to appraise the property that
has been foreclosed by the town.
A resolution was passed for the
town to sell certain small lots
which were secured through fore
closure.

DAR HAS RAISED
$3,500 FOR ITS
WAR BLOOD FUND
Mrs. Silversteen Reports that
Fayetteville Chapter
Leads State
The Colonel Robert Rowan
chapter of the D. A. R. at Fayet
teville has made the • largest con
tribution of any chapter in the
state to the D. A. R. blood plasma
fund, Mrs. Joseph S. Silversteen,
state regent, announced today.
The Fayetteville chapter, which
has a membership of 50, gave
$650 to this fund. Mrs. J. W. Pen
dleton is regent of the chapter.
Raising money for blood plasma
program has been the number
one war project of the D. A. R.
in the state during the past two
years, Mrs. Silversteen said. Over
$3,500 have already been raised
for this fund, which is an average
of more than $1 per member, she
said.
“Blood plasma is one of the vital
needs of the war effort and we
are proud of the fine records
made by the D. A. R. member’s
of the state,” Mrs. Silversteen sta
ted.
“It is a shame that our great
state does not have a place in
which blood given by individuals
can be processed into blood plasma
and made ready for overseas ship
ment,” she declared. “I hope of
ficials of our state will do some
thing about it immediately.”

WAR BOARD READY
TO ISSUE PERMITS
FOR SLAUGHTERERS
Permits Can Be Obtained
From County War Board.
Details Given
Farmers of Transylvania coun
ty and all other livestock slaugh
terers who slaughter meat ani
mals for sale must obtain permits
from the County USD A War Board
in order to continue their opera
tions, according to T. J. Wilson,
chairman of the board.
Livestock dealers who buy ani
mals for resale also must obtain
permits by that date, Mr. Wilson
said. The dealer permit regula
tion, however, does not apply to
most farmers as a livestock dealer
is defined as a person who buys
animals and sells them in less
than 30 days.
The permit orders are a part of
a national meat control program
recently announced by Secretary
of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard
designed to stamp out black mar
ket activities and bring all meat
into legitimtate trade channels,
Chairman Wilson said the Coun
ty USDA War Board now has per
mits ready to be issued to farm
ers, local slaughterers, butchers
and livestock dealers who intend
to operate.
“I would like to emphasize that
farmers who slaughter animals for
home use do not need permits to
do so,” he said. “A permit is re
quired, however, if they deliver
any meat for use by others. All
slaughterers, including farmers,
are required to keep accurate and
complete records of all animals
killed. Farmers also are expected
to keep records of all animals
bought and sold.”
Under the anti-black market
program, all persons who slaugh
ter animals for sale after March
31 will have a permit number
which must be stamped on each
wholesale cut of meat. Slaughter
ers who now' operate under fed
eral, state, county or city inspec
tion will use the same numbers
they now have. Other slaughterers
| will be given numbers when they
| obtain their permits, and will be
j required to use these in stamp
j ing wholesale cuts.
CASE OF WILSON
VS SOUTHERN RR
IS NON-SUITED
Appeal I s Noted- Mull
Awarded Judgment Against
Jaffee and Others
A non-suit was ordered in the
case of Cleo Wilson, of Penrose,
against the Southern Railway
company, in the Transylvania
county superior court here last
week. The defendant, however,
filed a notice of appeal to state
supreme court.
Wilson was suing the Southern
for $2,500. The suit was the out
growth of a wreck that occurred
over a year ago when a tractor on
which Wilson was riding was
struck by a train. He sustained
serious personal injuries and the
tractor was badly damaged.
W. W. Mull was awarded a
judgment of $242.26 against Mar
jorie Segar, E. B. Jaffee and Mrs.
E. B. Jaffee for plumbing services
rendered.
In the suit of Vess Galloway,
petitioner against Mamie Gallo
way, respondent, the court order
ed that Mrs. Galloway was to
keep their two minor children.
Kennie Craft was awarded a
verdict of $225.00 against the
Paul Revere Life Insurance com
pany.
In last week’s paper it was in
advertently stated that “Tom
Phillips, charged with drunk driv
ing, was fined $25 and cost.” It
is true that he was charged with
drunk driving and that he was
fined $25, but he was not convict
ed of drunk driving. The jury
verdict was that he was guilty of
reckless driving and for this he
was fined $25.00 and cost.
Court adjourned last Friday.
SHOP GETS NEW OPERATOR

her training at Raleigh and who

pe here as an operator, Mrs. Mary
Wallin, owner, announces. The
shoppe’s other operators are Mrs.
Marie K. Davis, Mrs. Helen Gallo
way Huggins and Ada Lynch Rey
nolds.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has announced that it will
support the prices of U. S. No.
1 grade sweet potatoes in 1943
at $1.15 to $1.45 per bushel, de
pending on seasonal differences.
Of the oilseed crops, the goal
for soybeans is 12 million acres,
and for peanuts 5% million acres.
Most growers will plant the acre
age of cotton permitted, produc

cottonseed oil.
THERE’S ROMANCE
-FROM PAGE ONE
even if she could get out now
she wouldn’t do it.
“The life is hard; it’s full of
discipline, regulations and study;
of drilling and all that, but it's
fascinating,” she confessed and
with a devout, far-off look in her
sharp eyes, she said impressively,
“something deep down inside of
you makes you feel good when
you stand reveille. You have a
greater love for this great coun
try of ours and for the things for
which it stands.”
Miss Garvey took and passed
her examination at Fort Bragg last
October. In November she joined
and was sent to Fort Des Moines,
Iowa, where the thermometer
really gets down low in the win
ter time.
Life Isn’t Easy
Along with approximately 10,
000 other women, she took basic
training for four weeks. “The
basic wasn’t easy, either she as
serted. At 5 o’clock in the morn
ing, everybody had to get up,
clean the barracks and scrub the
floors. At 5:30 they reported for
revielle and had breakfast at 6
o’clock. From 6 until 8 was drill
time and from 8 to 12 they at
tended classes. Following lunch
there were more classes and more
drilling until 5 in the afternoon.
“At 5:30 we stood retreat and
then we were free for the rest
of the evening, but about the on
ly place I wanted to go to was
to bed,” she said.
Every Saturday morning the
WAACS hold formal inspection
and full parades Saturday at
noon.
“You bet, we really learned to
drill and I believe our company
could beat most male companies
on the drill field,” she said proud
ly.
The next four weeks were de
voted to attending administrative
school, studying all kinds of
things that they might be requir
ed to do in army camps.
Assigned To A Camp
At the conclusion of the eight
weeks of basic training, the wom
en are sent to various army camps
to work. Miss Garvey was sent to
Fort Custer, Mich., where she has
been stationed for the past three
months. She is now on a furlough,
visiting her mother in Asheville
and twin sister, Miss Joan Garvey,
here.
“At Fort Custer we have our
own barracks, mess hall and do
drilling and studying, as well as
work,’’ she said. “In the near fu
ture we are looking forward to
getting training on the firing
field’.’
Miss Garvey said a good many
of the soldiers resent the presence
of members of the WAACS. Part
of this resentment, she thinks, is
due to the fact that some of the
boys have been replaced, while
others prefer to retain complete
masculine occupation.
“As a whole, most of the girls
can take it. Very few of them
fall out and for the most part,
they are happy, but the life of a
WAAC has its ups and downs,
too.”
Miss Garvey said she planned to
enter officers training school
soon and perhaps to do overseas
duty some time.
Charges for marketing farm
food products decreased 1 per
