LIKED COLLEGE EDITION
Wadesboro, N. C.
Oct. 14, 1943
Dear Mr. Anderson:
Let me extend my hearty thanks
for the recent edition of your
newspaper. You have done a
splendid job with your special
Brevard College edition. Please
know as a member of the Board
of Trustees that I appreciate the
fine work you are doing in seek
ing the further interests of our
college. We need more intelligent
and enthusiastic boosters like you.
It was good to have the pleasure
of meeting you the other day and
sharing the noon-day meal in your
fellowship. We had an excellent
meeting of the Board and I be
lieve things are on the way for
great improvement in the college.
Looking forward to other asso
ciations with you in the future, I
am,
Most sincerely yours,
Chas. P. Bowles
FAVORS SMALL DAMS
EDITOR THE TIMES:
In regard to the proposed dams
across the French Broad river, this
writer is of the same opinion as
Mr. J. W. Smith in last week’s pa
per.
Less than a baker’s dozen are in
favor of the above proposed dam.
especially the one across the river
at the mouth of Cathey’s Creek,
which would do away with some,
if not all, of the Selica and Cher
ryfield farming section, which is
the best in Transylvania county.
The North and South fork above
Rosman could be connected, there
by making only one dam neces
sary, and the water could be used
for electric power.
The best farmers, as well as the
general public, will speak for the
above opinion of small dams at
the right time, if compelled to do
so, and some one will arise to re
place Prof. Verner, a small dam
advocate, if necessary.
Yours in favor of saving all of
our farms,
WARD BREEDLOVE.
GROWING NEED FOR
SCRAP METAL FORESEEN
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, air
ace of World War I, urges re
doubled efforts in the scrap metal
drive. He says:
“Having visited all the battle
fronts throughout the world, in
cluding Russia, it is evident to me
that the ever-increasing demand
for munitions and war weapons
will bring about a demand for
scrap iron and steel during the
balance of 1943 and 1944 unparal
leled in the history of any nation
. . . We in America on the home
front have millions of tons of scrap
iron and steel lying around idle
and being dissipated by the ele
ments ... If every man, woman
and child over ten years of age
gave only one hour of their time
to this salvage drive there would
be millions of tons available for
the protection of our fighting
men.”

THIRD OF COACHES
USED BY RAILROADS
IN MOVING TROOPS
Restriction Placed on Reser
vations For Space In Pull
mans And Seats.
As a wartime measure to pro
vide better service for military
and essential business travelers,
the Southern Railway system, in
concert with the Eastern railroads,
has adopted a new plan for hand
ling advance reservations for space
in Pullmans and reserved seats in
coaches. Effective at once, no
reservations or requests for res
ervations’ will be accepted more
than 30 days in advance.
With half the Pullmans and a
third of the coaches assigned ex
clusively to troop movements, and
with business travel at an all-time
peak, there has been a shortage of
train space throughout the coun
try. This has been especially true
during week-ends and holidays,
with thousands of men and women
in uniform travelling on furlough,
and with business men seeking to
make necessary trips without the
loss of a business day.
Faced with the greatest trans
portation task in history, the rail
roads are tapping every resource
of ingenuity and efficiency. Reser
vation bureaus are being expand
ed. Schools have been set up for
training personnel. Available Pull
mans and coaches are being ser
viced and turned around so speed
ily that cars now handle nearly
four times their peacetime passen
ger volume.
The new 30-day reservation plan
is the latest of these wartime ef
ficiency steps. Added to the meas
ures already taken, it should help
to provide better service for all es
sential travel.
The American National Red
Cross operates under a charter
granted by congress in 1905.

Things always run better when
somebody is in charge. Like
baseball has a "czar”—the
lawyers, a bar association—the
doctors have a code of ethics
and the like.
An important industry here in
North Carolina has taken the ini
tiative in self-regulation. It’s the
Brewing Industry Foundation.
Under Colonel Edgar H. Bain,
as State Director, the brewers
voluntarily organized to main
tain good conditions throughout
the tarheel state.
They cooperate with the
authorities, with the army and
navy, and the public welfare
people and they’re doing quite
a job.
From where I sit, they’re pro
tecting the investment of a lot
of people who want to do busi
ness the right way, at the same
time assuring our state of an
important source of steady tax
income.
