of damage, but the Brevard fire
men soon had it under control,

ranger, yesterday urged every

out a fire new, persons must ob

not mean that people shouldn’t
Use caution. “The fire season has
not ended and with sap in the
trees, the damage is at its highest
point,” Ranger Griswold said.
He advised every one who wants
to do some burning to wait until
it rains.

Wallis Appeals For
Funds For Legion’s
Soldier Kit Project
William J. Wallis, commander,
of the Monroe Wilson post of the
American Legion, yesterday is
sued an urgent appeal to all ex
service men in Transylvania to
contribute money to the fund to
carry on the Legion’s gifts-to-men
in-service project.
“Since last November our post,
through the co-operation of the
Women’s Civic club, has fur
nished every man who has left
the county for service in the
armed forces a kit, filled with
useful articles,’’ Commander Wal
lis said.
“The funds for this purpose are
now practically exhausted. The
post feels that it is the responsi
bility of the ex-service men in the
county to replenish these funds
in order to carry on this pro
ject. Therefore, I earnestly urge
all of you to make contributions,
which may be left or sent to Alex
Kizer at the city hall or J. M.
Gaines at the Duke Power com
pany, or Chief Freeman.”

ty tax collector’s office, as pro
vided in a local bill passed during
the last session of the legislature,
were discussed, and a committee
was appointed to take the matter
up with the county commissioners
and with Collector Edwin Mor
gan.
Attorney Ralph Ramsey stated
that consolidation of town and
county tax collectors’ offices has
been effected in a large number
of places and that it had resulted
in better collections, less expense
and a convenience to the public.
It was pointed out, however,
that the town probably would
not save any money since there
appears to be too much work in
the town office for one person to
handle.
Banning of the sale of beer and
wine on Sunday in the town of
Brevard was also discussed, but
action was deferred, pending ac
tion of the county board of com
missioners.

one place in the county.
The board passed a resolution
requesting the Selective Service
board here to defer the drafting
of Melvin Gillespie, register of
deeds, until the first Monday in
October, 1943.
The commissioners cited five
reasons for asking for deferment
for Mr. Gillespie who is classified
in 1-A.
Those reasons were: first, that
lie is familiar with the work and
that it would be difficult to re
place him: second, that he is under
bond for all funds handled by him
and that the county has paid for
this bond until December, 1944
and that he will have to be ac
countable to his bonding company
; until that time and that if he
were replaced, lie would have to
[ purchase a new bond for his sue
[ cessor; third, that at this time,
birth certificates are required of
all persons who enter war indus
tries or government work and
that Mr, Gillespie has had a great
deal of experience in filling out
these certificates; fourth that lie
has been duly elected by the peo
ple and that to replace him the
responsibility would fall on the
board; fifth, that the fiscal year
ends on June 30. 1943, and that
it would work a hardship on Mr.
Gillespie to be called until some
time after the close of the year.
