the Pin Hook Gap section of Jack

sylvania line, has recovered and
went home last Sunday.
Daves was shot in the lower ab

and the chances for his recovery
were regarded as being slim. His,
father, who was shot once in the
abdomen, died.

What a coincidence!! Just how

Oh, ho! Dorothy R. we see now

HOW YOU CAN GET
iUORt
FOR YOUR PULPWOOD
Cut Pulpwood for Victory.
There is a great shortage of pulp
wood, vitally needed for rayon
parachutes, nitrocellulose explo
sives, surgical dressings, blood
plasma containers and hundreds
©Mother war uses. Cut every cord
you can. Your country needs it.
Put Your Pulpwood Money
into War Bonds. Pulpwood is
bringing good prices now, but
you can get even more by putting
the money you get for it into
War Bonds. Every $3 will come
back to you as $4 after the war.
And that’s when you will need a
nice nest egg to buy the things
you want—like a home, a car, or
a radio.
This is a pulpwood-producing
community. Pulpwood is our own
war industry; our opportunity to
serve;our war-time responsibility.
Lets all get busy with our axes—
do our patriotic duty today and
lay by a reserve of war bonds
that will insure continued pros
perity for all of us through the
post-war years.
Turn Your Idie Trees Into War Bonds
$18.75 worth of pulpwood buys a $25 bond
$37 JO worth of pulpwood buys a $50 bond
$75.00 worth of pulpwood buys a $100 bond

TO THE PEOPLE OF
TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY
I i ■
My Sincere Thanks
Six months ago the Lions club of Brevard
bought the Tinsley News Stand here and
established me in business, i resolved up
on taking charge of this business to con
duct it in such a way as to justify the faith
placed in me by the Lions Club and to mer
it the patronage of the public.
At this time I wish to record my pro
found gratitude to the public of Transyl
vania county for the generous trade they
have accorded me and to the many indi
viduals who have helped me in various
ways to overcome my handicap by doing
things for me which I could not do. Es
pecially do I feel grateful to John Smith
and Wm. A. Hart for their numerous kind
nesses, rendered purely out of a desire to
help another.
It is gratifying to me to reflect that 1 have
achieved a measure of success and it is
even more gratifying to know that this
success is a symbol of the sincere interest
that my friends have in my welfare.
Phillip Price
