PRIZES TO GARDENERS?
There are many fine Victory
Gardens in Brevard, as well as
throughout the county, and this
column thinks it would be a splen
did idea if some organization or
the county garden committee gave
prizes for the best small and large
gardens here in town and appoint
judges to visit the gardens and
select the best.
In last week’s paper we carried
a picture of one of the finest gar
dens at Ecusta and the editor
would probably like to make a
picture of the prize-winning gar
dens here in town.
What do you think of the sug
gestion, Mr. Glazener and members
of the garden committee?
PARSON HAS GOOD GARDEN
From all reports, Rev. W. A.
Jenkins might win a prize if such
were held. The Methodist parson
is said to to be an exceptionally
good gardener and this year he
has really gone all-out.
What other gardens would you
nominate for prize-winning con
sideration? Send your suggestions
to this column.
TELLS THE TRUTH
In the Mayor’s Court here last
week, a young Rosman boy was
being tried for operating a motor
vehicle without driver's license.
The lad explained that he had
tried to get licenses on three dif
ferent occasions, but that he had
not succeeded in obtaining them.
(The Patrolman suggested that he
had failed to pass the examina
tion.) After listening to his story
and hearing Chief Tom Wood say
that the boy had a good reputation.
Mayor Clement fined the lad $10
and cost, but agreed to suspend
the fine upon condition that the
boy would get license before op
erating a car again. Following a
little discussion, the boy declared,
“I knew they would catch me
sometime.”
A THOUGHT FROM HOLMES
Don’t flatter yourself that friend
ship authorizes you to say dis
agreeable things to your intimates.
On the contrary, the nearer you
come into relation with a person,
the more necessary do tact and
courtesy become. Except in cases
of necessity, which are rare, leave
your friend to learn unpleasant
truths from his enemies; they are
ready enough to tell them.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes.

TOWN’S TAX RATE
EXPECTED TO BE
SAME HflS YEAR
—
Budget Estimate Submitted
By Alex Kizer Is
Nearly Same
A budget estimate for the town
of Brevard for the new fiscal year,
as presented to the board pf aider
men Tuesday night by Clerk Alex
Kizer, calls for approximately the
same income and expenditure as
of last year, with the tax rate to
remain $1.45.
The budget estimate was ten
tatively approved and will be sent
to Local Government officials for
their okey before its final adop
tion here the latter part of this
month. A summary of it will also
be published in next week’s is
sue of this paper.
In submitting the estimate, Mr.
Kizer reported that the town had
more than operated within the
provisions of the budget estimate
during the past year. “In fact we
saved about 15 percent,’ he said
and emphasized the fact that the
town is running on an economy
basis.
Estimates indicate that the
town's valuation will be off just
a little this year, and that it will
be around $2,290,000.
The new estimate does not pro
vide any funds for the purchase i
of any fire truck or for a reser
voir.
The town’s bonded debt has been
reduced substantially and now
totals around $450,000. The new
budget provides for a levy of
around $16,000 on debt service
and around $18,000 for general
fund operation.
a fourth term for FDR. The latest
and most obvious attempt to curry
the favor of the voters is directed
to the negro race in the form of
a booklet issued by the O.W.I. at
government expense and entitled
“The Negroes and the War”
Our impression was that the
O.W.I. was set up to inform the
people about the war and to direct
propaganda in foreign lands, but
let that pass.
No fair-minded white person
denies or wishes to belittle the
contribution of the colored race
to the war effort, but it is highly
improper to single out any one
element in society for commenda
tion. Stress is laid in the book
upon the fact that the present
administration has aided the neg
roes in many ways and thus open
ed up “new horizons.” Among the
highlights are a tribute by FDR
and a picture of the irrepressible
Eleanor addressing a colored audi
ence. A picture of two white lads
and a colored youth lunching to
gether will no doubt elate Walter
White and his crowd. The whole
book is a bald appeal to race con
sciousness—and race support.

and said that one way to aid them
in bringing Victory to our shores
was to buy all of the war bonds
they possibly could.
He also pointed out that those
cn the home front should produce
all they possibly could, too, and
assured Ecusta employees that
they are working in an essential
industry.
The picnic started at 10 o’clock
in the morning and a large number
of contests were staged. Several
serious and also comical boxing
bouts were held in the afternoon,
as well as a number of other
events, for which prizes were
awarded.
Bob Kappers, Hugh Sigmon,
Ray Hooper, Earl Hall and Ned
Medford served as judges of all
events. Roland Wilber and Sang
Lyday were announcers.
One of the comic bouts was
staged by Ginny Wood and Slim
Bullock and the referee, Jack Wil
ber, got about the w’orst end of
the battle. Another unique event
was a wrestling match between
Walter Straus and Hank Newbury.
A full list of the contest win
ners will be carried next week.

FARM MACHINERY
AT FREE SCHOOL
Old Equipment Restored To

More Saturdays
Several farmers have already
found that it really pays to attend
the free farm machinery school
that is being conducted each Sat
utday afternoon at the vocational
department of the Rosman high
«<"hool, according to Supervisor R.
Lawrence.
An old potato digger belonging
to Ernest Paxton was repaired
and has been sold. Buck Owen, of
Balsam Grove, restored to active
use a mower which he bought
many years ago. These two pieces
of farm equipment, w'hich are now
hard to get, will be used to help
in the war effort.
The school will last for four
more Saturdays and all farmers
are invited to attend and to take
old tools or machinery there for
repairs.
The department is well equipped
and has both electric and acetylene
welding equipment and a complete
blacksmith outfit.
