Visiting Puerto Rico Minister Praises Brevard As Ideal Vacationland
SPENT PAST TWO
WEEKS VISITING
HERE IN BREVARD
Town Recommended To
Him By A Real Estate
Dealer In Miami, Fla.
Brevard’s magical charms are
being sung far and wide, it was
learned this week when Rev. An
drew I. Keener, a visitor here for
the past two weeks, revealed to a
Times interviewer that he first
heard of this immediate mountain
section through a real estate agent
at Miami, Fla.
“If you want a vacation visit to
a really beautiful mountain resort,
you’ll find nothing prettier or more
climatically agreeable than a little
town up in North Carolina, known
as Brevard,” the Miami real estate
man replied to an inquiry of Mr.
and Mrs. Keener as to a desirable
mountain site to spend a couple of
weeks’ vacation.
Upon recommendation of the
stranger, Mr. and Mrs. Keener
came to Brevard and expressed
such delight over their first visit
here that they hope some time in
the future to return and buy prop
erty with the intention of making
Brevard their permanent home.
“I like everything about Brevard
and vicinity,” Mr. Keener said. “I
like its people, the magnificent
scenery, the orderliness of the town
and the hospitality and friendliness
so much in evidence, but the out
standing feature that pleases me
most, I believe, is the beautiful
trees that abound everywhere.”
Minister in Puerto Rico
Rev. Mr. Keener and his wife
were in Brevard for the past two
weeks, en route from San Juan,
Puerto Rico, where Mr. Keener has
been pastor of the American Un
ion church the past eleven years, to
their former home in Pittsburgh,
Pa., where he will again enter upon
his pastoral duties as a Presbyter
ian minister.
Speaking of his experiences in
Puerto Rico the past eleven years,
Mr. Keener hold of the thousands
of U. S. soldiers who throng the
island now, taking their final train
ing for active combat duty on the
TROOPS PREPARE FOR INVASION
BEHIND THE CLOUD OF SMOKE and flying dirt, troops are making a land
ing somewhere on a beach in the U. S, It’s a realistic phase in training
the men for landings on enemy beaches. Land mines are set off to
accustom the men to the roar of exploding shells. (International)
front battle lines in Africa, Europe
and the South Pacific.
“These soldiers represent a cross
section of American citizenry, com
ing from every part of the nation,”
Mr. Keener said. “They have a high
character standard and their mor
ale is excellent. When these highly
trained men of our armed forces
get through with those Japs and
Germans there won't be much left
of them (the enemy),” he further
declared.
Mr. Keener said there were many
things they liked about living in
Puerto Rico, but after eleven years
spent there without even coming
back to the United States, they felt
they were ready now to take up
residence again in their native
homeland and go back to their for
mer home in Pittsburgh. He spoke
of the constant warm climate on
that island and said that the tem
perature during the eleven years
they lived there varied only 20 de
grees—from 67 to 87.
Sub Menace Decreasing
The submarine menace has been
very bad and has cut off much of
the supplies that would have other
wise reached the island, but in
creased coastal patrol and other
precautions have decreased this
menace to a large degree, it was
pointed out by Mr. Keener. He
said that Puerto Rico gets nine
tenths of all its goods from the
United States, and sells an equal
amount to this country, but the
island right now is undergoing a
difficult period of shipping.
Mr. and Mrs. Keener were guests
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Wike during their visit here.
