This, like nothing else, describes this column so you know what to expect. For shame Brandon! Why don’t you ease the two brunettes’ minds and choose between them. Hor tense and Mae aren’t enjoying the suspense much, but of course two girls are much nicer than one. Why the dreamy look, Hub? Can’t you ever get that ravishing blonde you saw Wednesday, off your mind and concentrate on French II. Don’t mention this to a soul but I believe we are about to witness one of those triangle love affairs. Beverly T., Lucy I. and A. C. P. One of you girls better use your charms (?) as “triangle affairs’’ aren’t much fun as I’ve heard that three is a crowd. ’Twas the night after the car nival, and all through the halls, scarcely a creature was stirring, as they were all home sleeping, eh Bob? We hear you had a nice L. A. HOLT, JR. We All Have A Part In This War Let’s back the boys who are fighting for us! Lawrence A. Holt, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. L. A.

Don’t be frightened students, it’s not three primitive cave men, but merely Bob N., Vernice and Con rad with their new “hair do’s” and the “lost dog” straying along be hind seems to be Faye Greene. Extra !! New Junior Romance! Read all about it! Anyway just ask Louise F. or ride the Toxa way bus and the mystery will be solved. The carnival is a nice get-togeth er place from all we hear. Bert S. that blond “glamour boy” and Judith B. had a nice time and don’t forget Madrie G. and that ’43 grad, Boice W. My, don’t sur prising things happen though.” Lost: A very lonely heart. If found, return to Rut S. or remedy same. (Hint, hint, Mildred B.). Patsy W. has recently put in a claim for Harold B. The compe tition is getting mighty tough with Jewel C. and Jean O. though, so watch your P’s and Q’s, Patsy and luck to you. I can’t think up any more “news” about the students, “rally I cawn’t” so tally ho, old chaps. I'll be back next week with more gossip for all you dear (?) read ers.

Silversteen DEPOSITORY FOR State of North Carolina County of Transylvania, Town of Brevard Organized November 24, 1931 ! GLANCING BACK AT BREVARD Taken from the files of The Sylvan Valley News, beginning 1895 ^-—---' (From the File of Aug. 6, 1906) We notice that paved gutters on our newly graded streets are as necessary as paved walks if we would preserve their formation. The newly moved dirt is easily washed away and unless something is done to prevent it our new streets will soon be washed into holes and gullies and our whole summer work will be useless. J. W. McMinn is doing a meri torious piece of work by macadam izing Broad street in front of his Aethelwold property. If others of our citizens would take hold of the street improvement in front of their own premises, instead of waiting for the town to do it, we would soon have good streets with out another bond issue. Miss Chester Bell has accepted a position in the Marion graded school for another year. Broad street is still in charge of the street hands. It has been thoroughly broken up between Jordan and Morgan streets and will doubtless make a first class mudpuddle unless it quits raining. It still remains too wet to use the road machine. The laying of brick walks from the depot to Main street has com menced, and T. B. Crary is in charge of the work. This is an improvement that we are certain will please everybody in town. Perhaps the most praiseworthy remark that can be truthfully made about Brevard is that all her grow th and improvements have been made by her own citizens with home capital. This shows that our own people have an abiding faith in her future progress and pros perity. Miss Sallie Duckworth was tak en to the hospital at Asheville by Dr. Wallis last Friday for surgical treatment. Dr. Wallis returned Saturday and reported the opera tion successful and the patient do ing well. Mrs. D. L. English was taken to the Mission hospital in Asheville last Saturday for surgical treat ment for appendicitis. We learn with regret that John S. Patton, of Davidson River, is suffering with a broken leg. He was riding horseback last Friday when the horse stepped into a hole in a bridge near E. M. Allison’s residence and fell, with the above result. With the experience of Brevard in the ice industry this summer, isn’t it about timt to establish an ice plant at home? Our meat mar kets and soda fountains have been subject to severe losses by the failure to have their orders filled, and that at the height of the busy season. We hope our business men will get together and buy an ice machine before next season. We are always glad to note pro motion of Transylvania boys to places of honor and trust. News has been received that Brisco Led better, of Davidson River, who has been employed in Philadelphia during the past year, has accepted a position as cashier in one of the largest establishments in Atlantic City, N. J. Miss Martha Boswell will enter tain a few of her college chums from Charlotte with a ghost party Friday night. There’s a brand new baby at Urile Cooper’s home—born Wed nesday.

As the older cars quit, the ones still left get more and more essential. “I’m not making scare-talk when I say that even standing in a garage most of the time, your car gets run down. Metals corrode. Oil gets dirty and sludgy. Grease dries out. The battery runs down. Spark plugs get fouled up. Radiator hose connections go bad. Tires get soft, so the sidewalls bend and crack. “In these times, it's a crime to let this happen. Because you don’t have to! Almost anyone’s car can see him through, if he’ll give it a chance. “We’re still here with every thing it takes to help protect your car, whatever make it is.
