merce:
Tampa—“It seems to me as
though you could count on a
some what better season this sum
mer than you had last year, as far
as the people from this section
are concerned. Defense workers
in this community are making
high wages and even if the men
are not taking vacations, it seems
as though their families would be
able to do so.”
St. Petersburg—“It appears to
us that your experience will be
like ours—you will have' a fewer
number of people, but they will
remain when they get there.”
Orlando—“In view of the fact
that you are located in an area
where there are no defense plants
or no army camps, it is our opin
ion that you should have a good
season.”
Aiken, S. C.—“We have several
parties who spend the winter in
Aiken and the summer in your
section and they all plan to go
up this summer as usual.”
Pinehurst, N. C.—“The season
at Pinehurst this year has been
the best in many, many years.
Although we have not had any
conventions, we have still done a
greater gross business without
them than we did last year. We
believe the mountain area in
North Carolina should do a fine
business.”
Miami—“The winter has been
extremely kind to us with appro
ximately 40,000 civilian tourists
here weekly during the last six
weeks of the period. Every tour
ist house, tourist camp and other
place catering to tourists that has
entertained visitors in the past
three or four years should do a
definite advertising campaign ad
dressed to those people.”
West Palm Beach—“We have
had a very good season. Since
you are located in an area where
army camps and defense plants
are not located, we believe you
should enjoy a very splendid
tourist season.”
Fort Lauderdale—“We had one
of the best seasons we have had
in our history. We had some of
the most distinguished and inter
esting people down here we have
ever before had. In your ad
vertising you should announce
this fact—the absence of army
camps, and defense plants. There
are a lot of people who are trying
to get away from the congested
army camps and war production
centers.”
Sarasota—“The winter tourist
business was about 50 per cent
off. It would be difficult to fore
cast what Brevard may expect.”

Sgt, Roscoe W. Mull, son of W.
W. Mull, of Brevard, was highly
commended by his commanding
officer in a recent letter to the Mc
Crary Transfer company here, for
which Sgt. Mull formerly worked.
The letter states that Sgt. Mull
“has participated in a recent cam
paign against the Japs on an is
land in the South Pacific. He per
formed all of his duties in a com
mendable manner even in the
most trying circumstances. 1 feel
that I can best show my appreci
ation for the aid this man has
been to me by writing to some
one who has known him in civi
lian life and who would therefore
be interested in the part he is
playing in the war.” The letter
was signed by George F, Carter,
captain, 90th. F, A. Bn., command
ing.
Pvt. Jack Loftis, of the engineer
corps, has arrived safely on one
of the Hawaiian Islands, accord
ing to word received by his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Loftis,
of Brevard. He was inducted into
the service in October, 1942, and
received training at Fort Belvoir,
Va., at Camp Butner and Camp
Stoneman, Calif. In a letter to his
parents he said he liked the Ha
waiian Islands fine and that it
was a very beautiful place. Rich
ard M. Loftis, another son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Loftis, of the
bombing squadron naval air gun
ner's school, has graduated from
the radio school at Northwestern
University, Evanston, 111., with
thii'd class commission. He com
pleted an intensive course in
radioman at Evanston. He enter
ed the navy at Great Lakes in
August, 1942.

DAILY DIET FOR
ALL SHOULD HAVE
7 BASIC FOODS
Recommendations Are Made
By An Authority. Im
portant Right Now
Mrs, Cornelia C. Morris, home
economist in food conservation at
N. C. State College, calls atten
tion to the seven basic food groups
which should be included in the
daily diet of every person to en
able families to improve wartime
diets and maintain nutrition stan
dards.
In the first group are the green
and yellow vegetables, some of
which should be raw and some
cooked. In the second group are
oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit or
raw cabbage, or salad greens.
Group three consists of pota
toes and other vegetables and
fruits, which can be eaten raw,
dried or cooked, frozen or can
ned. Milk and milk products make
up the fourth group.
In the fifth group are meat,
poultry, fish or eggs. Dried beans,
peas, nuts or peanut butter are
also included. The sixth group
consists of bread, flour and cereals
with the natural whole grain or
enriched products giving the high
est food value. In the final group
are butter and fortified margarine.
Mrs. Morris says that the daily
diet should be checked against
these seven groups, and house
wives should make the best pos
sible use of the various foods
which are available. This must be
done if the nutrition standards of
the nation are to be properly
maintained.
She says: “To be vigorous and
strong, eat the basic 7 every day.”

presented next, and said if the
audience were in an Axis controll
ed country they would not be ask
ed to buy bonds; they would be
forced to give their money. The
big buyers of bonds, he stated,
cannot finance the war effort;
people of moderate means must
also buy government securities.
Mr. McMahan then presented a
number of people, heads of local
industries and others, who in di
vers ways contributed to the suc
cess of the bonds campaign. They
were:
W. W. Croushorn of the Carr
Lumber Co.; George Wheeler of
the Wheeler Hosiery mills; Ralph
Fisher of the Transylvania Pipe
Co.; Carl Allison, chairman of the
county board; Mayor Carl Hardin:
Raph H. Ramsey, Jr., chairman of
Civilian Defense; T. E. Reid,
chairman of the board of educa
tion; C. M. Douglas, president of
the chamber of commerce; Wil
liam Wallis of the local post of
the American Legion; Mrs. J. M.
Allison, co-county chairman Wo
men’s War Savings Staff; Mrs. O.
II. Oit, chairman Women’s Club
War Activities; A. H. Harris,
chairman of the local draft board:
Howard Wyatt, scrap metal chair
man; Melvin L. Gillespie, secre
tary, War Savings Staff and Fin
ance committee; L. P. Hamlin,
chairman, speakers’ committee.
Mr. McMahan also commended
the efforts of the people of Pis
gah mills, Brevard college, the
Transylvania Trust Company, the
rationing board and the postmas
ters of the county.
Solicitors Praised
Presented by the chairman as a
“star bond salesman,” Jerry Jer
ome declined the honor and gave
credit for the success of the drive
to the 24 solicitors who made , the
canvass. Mr. Jerome said he felt
that the time consumed and en
ergy spent in selling the bonds
was small in comparison to what
the boys in the service are doing.
“When you go home tonight,,”
Mr. Jerome said, “get down on
your knees and thank God that
you live in a country that asks
you to lend money, instead of tak
ing your money, your property
and possibly your lives.” Mr.
Jerome then presented Jonathan
H. Woody president of the First
National Bank of Waynesville and
manager of the drive in Western
North Carolina, who in turn intro
duced Joe Emerson Rose, radio
singer, who rendered several
songs. He also gave his check for
a $5,000 bond to be credited to
Transylvania county.
Mr. McMahan then presented
Ed M. Anderson, publisher of the
Times and chairman of the publi
city committee, and warmly com
mended him for the assistance he
had given the campaign. Address
ing the audience as “fellow
Americans and fighters for the
survival of Democracy.” Mr. An
derson introduced Gerald Cowan,
vice president of the Wachovia
Bank and Trust company of Ashe
ville and chairman of the War
Drive in this area. Mr. Anderson
described Mr. Cowan as an out
standing banker and a friend of
Transylvania county and the
mountain area. “He has done a
wonderful job in this campaign,”
Mr. Anderson asserted.
Why War Cost Is High
Mr. Cowan congratulated the
people of Transylvania on the ex
cellence of the campaign and the
results achieved. He said the
county was fortunate to have such
a loyal and patriotic group of in
dustrial leaders. The cost of the
war to us is high, Mr. Cowan said,
because Germany spent seven
years preparing and it takes more
money than ever today to outfit a
man for combat duty. Regular
purchase of bonds must continue
after the present drive ends, he
stated, to sustain the war effort.
All but two counties in his area,
Mr. Cowan said, had reached their

quotas and he expected them to
go over the top.
After Miss Julia Owen had sung i
the National Anthem, Mr. Mc
Mahan presented Pfc. Martin H.
Torgerson. a patient at Moore
General Hospital, Svvannanoa,
who was injured in Africa during
the winter by a strafing German
plane. Mr. Torgerson said he felt
sure if the people of the whole
nation were supporting the war
effort as actively as the citizens
of Transylvania, the conflict
would be materially shortened.
He asserted the United Nations
were “about ready to do some
thing" and lauded the navy, who
was represented on the stage by
C. P. O. Rose of Asheville, who
also spoke briefly, as did C. P. O.
Gaston Siniard of Brevard.
Accompanying Mr. Torgerson to
Brevard in a Jeep, which cruised
over the town during the after
noon. were Staff Sergt. R. A.
Hembree and Pfc. Eddie Benciv
enga. Sergt. Hembree spoke to
the audience briefly.
Quota Tripled
At this point, Mr. Jerome again
came forward and subscriptions
were asked to enable the county
to triple its quota and buy a bom
ber, Mr. Straus having announced
at the beginning that he would
match any money so pledged. J.
S. Silversteen subscribed $10,000
and numerous people in the audi
ence bought bonds ranging in
price down to $25.00. When Mr.
Jerome announced that the re
vised goal had been exceeded,
there was an outburst of vigorous
applause.
With the singing of “God Bless
America,” accompanied by the
Ecusta band, which played at in
tervals during the evening, the
meeting adjourned. It was esti
mated that fully three-fourths of
the seats in the auditorium were
occupied and the spirit manifest
ed on that occasion brought to a
fitting close a signally successful
campaign.
