Families Urged To Conserve
Bread, Local Supply Increasing
Chairman Wilson Says Mil
lers Allowed To In
crease Production
The welcome improvement in
local bread supplies does not
make it any less urgent that every
family continue to conserve bread,
wheat products and fats, T. J.
Wilson, Transylvania county chair
man of the Famine Emergency
committee, said this week. Bread
lines in grocery stores and bak
eries have almost become a thing
of the past, he added.
Quoting from information given
him by the President’s Famine
Emergency committee in Wash
ington, Mr. Wilson pointed out that
as of July 1 millers have been al
lowed an increase of flour for do
mestic use. The new production
rate is 85 per cent of last year’s
volume as compared with 75 per
"Cent which was in effect until
then.
Urges Continued Conservation
The increased flour milling rate
along with the new crop of wheat
now being harvested has permit
ed a marked improvement in the
local bread situation, but flour
supplies will still be short. By con
tinuing the conservation meas
ures in effect during the past few
months and reducing the amount
of wheat fed to livestock, the De
partment of Agriculture expects
to set aside 250,000,000 bushels of
wheat for export during the 1946
47 marketing year.
Through the elimination of
■waste, bread consumers can make
up most, if not all, of the 15 per
rent reduction from the 1945 level
of supplies which will result
from the lower milling volume,
Mr. Wilson continued. No wheat
or wheat products will be used by
distillers or brewers.
As specific bread conservation
measures, Mr. Wilson urged serv
ing breakfast eggs on potatoes in
stead of toast, using potato salad
to replace one sandwich in lunch
boxes, including potatoes in every
evening meal, making open sand
wiches, serving fruits for dessert
instead of pies, cakes and pastry.
Three Men Jailed
For Store Robbery
Ulyus Barton, Jr., 22, Ernest
Orr, 23, and Warren White, 22, all
of the Cherryfield section have
been lodged in the local jail. Ac
cording to Sheriff Bert Freeman,
the three youths have confessed to
breaking and entering Mrs. Roxie
Dunn’s store on July 21. They are
accused of having stolen between
$50 and $75 worth of merchandise.
Barton and Orr surrendered to
officers in Warrenton, Mo., and
■were returned to Brevard Monday
by Deputy John Kilpatrick. White
was arrested in Pickens, S. C.,
last week end and was brought
back to Brevard by Sheriff Free
dman Monday.
SCHOOLS TO OPEN
(Continued From Page One)
for Christmas holidays, and class
work will resume two weeks later,
Monday, January 6th. In this way,
four months of school will be fin
ished before Christmas.
The commissioners are studying
the budget needs of the school
system, and are trying to increase
• the school appropriation accord
| ingly, Supt. Jones said. When the
| board meets next Monday night,
I some definite announcement will
be made.
Because of the difficulty in ob
taining teachers with qualified rec
ords, selection of the county’s
teaching staff for the ensuing year
has not been completed. Vacan
cies still existing include: Home
Economics, Brevard high school;
Chemistry, Brevard high school;
French, Rosman; principalship at
Connestee; principalship at Balsam
Grove. Applications have been
made for the vacancies at Lake
Toxaway and Silversteen, and the
committees will meet soon to con
sider them. No applications have
been received for the high school
vacancies.
The lunchroom programs at Bre
vard, Pisgah Forest, Rosman and
Lake Toxaway will be carried on
again this year much the same as
previously, Supt. Jones announced.
During the past school year, these
lunchrooms served an average of
1,500 meals daily. “The cost of
food and labor may make is neces
sary to charge somewhat higher
fees this year,” Mr. Jones said,
“but no definite statement can be
made until after a meeting of the
principals.”
An announcement received here
from A. L. Teachey, state super
visor of Veteran’s farmer training,
states that the U. S. Office of Edu
cation will continue the food con
servation program through the fis
cal year ending June 30, 1947. The
local cannery at Brevard high
school operates under this setup,
and receives sufficient funds to
employ a full time instructor for
the cannery. Mrs. C. L. Simmons
is now serving in this capacity.
The small fees paid by those us
ing the facilities of the cannery,
cover the costs of cans, fuel, labor
and miscellaneous supplies. House
wives are urged to do their can
ning before school opens, August
28. A large pressure boiler is re
quired to operate the cannery, and
it cannot be used when school is
in session. Small amounts may be
canned in the afternoons and on
Saturdays, by special arrangements
with Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, it is
announced.

Baptists Vote To Accept
Reynolds* Offer In Meet
ing In Greensboro
GREENSBORO—The North Car
olina Baptist state convention
voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to
accept the Z. Smith Reynolds
foundation offer of a $10,750,000
endowment of Wake Forest college
and remove the institution from
its present location near Raleigh
to Winston-Salem.
The convention's action came
on a rising vote that was not ev
en close, following approximately
two hours of floor discussion.
An estimated 2,500 messengers,
representing the state’s 600,000
Baptists, decided the issue at the
Woman's college auditorium, where
the afternoon meeting was held
after a morning session that ov
erflowed Greensboro’s First Bap
tist church.
Left for action at a later date
by the convention and its com
mittees were such matters as dis
posal of present Wake Forest
properties, acceptance of an of
fer to establish the college on a
portion of the showplace Reynolds
estate, Reynolda, at Winston
Salem, and a date for the actual
start of removal operations.
The convention, meeting in the
first special session in its 116-year
history, also approved a resolution
thanking the Reynolds foundation,
its trustees, and Mr. and Mrs.
Charles H. Babcock, who offered
the Reynolds property, and also
a resolution calling for perpetua
tion of existing Wake Forest prop
erties as a Baptist educational in
stitution.
The Reynolds foundation offer,
made last spring, assigns in per
petuity the income from its fund,
up to $350,000 annually, provided
the college were removed to Win
ston-Salem, where the Wake For
est medical school already is lo
cated.
A number of conditions were
contained both in the convention’s
resolution of acceptance and in
the foundation's offer, one of
which calls for a test by the North
Carolina supreme court of the
validity of the contract which will
be entered into as a result of Tues
day’s action.
The convention specified in its
resolution that “acceptance of such
proposal shall be upon the condi
tion that the name of the college
not be changed, and that the con
trol of the institution shall con
tinue unaltered and undiminished
in the board of trustees of Wake
Forest college as appointed by the
Baptist state convention and sub
ject to the control and authority of
the convention.”
With no points of contention
anywhere, mutual conditions in
clude such provisions as continu
ance of the college’s present en
dowment, estimated in excess of
$3,000,000, intact, and establish
ment of a new Wake Forest ade
quate for a student body of not
less than 2,000 students.
Wake Forest at present has an
enrollment of approximately 1,200
students.
CEILING PLACED

fee, tea, cocoa and beer, which
were under ceilings June 30, re
main under them. Rent controls
are re-established as of the same
date.
New community food price cei
ling lists, taking the place of those
nullified by the new price control
act, have been received by Bre
vard grocers and posted in their
stores. They are effective today.
Administrator Porter announced
that it would be more difficult than
ever to hold textile and clothing
prices “at reasonable levels.” One
of the amendments to the OPA
extension act requires higher cei
lings for any manufacturer if his
costs increase. Pursuant to this
provision a number of increases
have been granted to manufactur
ers.
As congress considered action on
the decontrol board, the forecast
came from Washington that higher
prices could be expected on canned
vegetables, breakfast cereals, cof
fee and possibly bread and other
bakery products. The OPA agreed
to hike cotton textile prices 16
per cent. Local merchants report
ed sharp advances in many items
of clothing and shoes. One of them
suggested that the only effective
way to halt this trend would be
for the people to refuse to buy.
In Washington, Administrator
Porter hailed the new law as “a
real measure of protection for mil
lions of Americans who simply
have no reserves with which to
ride out an inflationary storm.”
