loaasasaaamaaaaaaaaaaei! I From A Reporter’s | Notebook By FRANCES WALKER i|iiuniiniiiuiti«iaiiai Poets have written about “mornings in May,” extolling the beauties and glories of same. But not even the most optimistic poet would have found much beauty in the first two weeks of May with its freezing tempera tures and chilling rain. And then, almost presto, came Sunday! Have you ever seen a more per fect day? Someone said that God knew it was Sunday and he had punished us long enough with the miseries of unseasonable weather. Life just whizzes by in such a hurry these days that practically none of us has the time to do all cf the things we want to. Last week was one of those. Since the annual Home Demonstration club tour was Corn's Taxi When You Want A Cab Call 3-3411 FROM on Tuesday, I couldn’t join them. Generally speaking, that’s my bus iest day of the week. These 42 wom en spent the day at Clemson and from all reports had a grand time. One of the highlights of their trip was a tour of the newly completed Ceramics building. Funds for this impressive structure were provided by the Olin Foundation. It should make a great contribution to a growing industrial art. Another thing I missed was the Barter Theatre play at the col lege. Earlier in the afternoon I had gone by and looked at the set. Since Brevard Little Theatre has become such an expert on set building, I think we’re all conscious of them. The Barter set was very good considering the fact that it has to be col lapsed and moved on to another town every day. One thing in par ticular I noticed about the stage was a fireplace in the center front. Several bricks had been stacked to exemplify the fire* place, with a screen in front of the carefully laid logs. This probably gave the audience more of the feeling of seeing a play “in the round.” One last word about Barter. Very few towns people saw the play, I under stand. It’s a shame when we here get so few chances to see legiti mate theatrical productions. Course the Brevard Little The atre play last week attracted a total of about 600 and these pro ductions have really improved to the point that they don’t rate that trite expression “home tal ent shows” any longer. The or ganization is completing three years of successful operation. The General Baking company plant at Spartanburg which makes that good Bond Bread is having open house beginning Thursday and continuing through next Tues day (Sunday excepted). Maybe if I tell them that Thursday is my Huge 8 Cu. Ft. PHILCO Here at the Price of a7 PH I ICO MODEL 844 NEWEST 1954 FEATURES! ★ Really Useful Storage Door...

C. NEW OFFICERS P-TA INSTALLED Discussion On The Peabody Report Led By Past Pres ident Garrett New officers of the Brevard ele mentary school P-TA were install ed at the May meeting by Mrs. R. E. Matthews, member of the coun ty board of education and past pres ident of the local group. Walter Straus succeeds E. B. Garrett, Jr., as president. Other of ficers installed were Charles Town send, vice president; Mrs. R. M. Levy, secretary and Mrs. Robert F. Andrews, treasurer. The new president asks that any program suggestions or names for committee chairmen for next year be turned into him as soon as pos sible. After the installation Mr. Gar rett led a discussion of the Peabody Survey report made public recently regarding the county school sys tem. Singing At Church Of God May 23rd Rev. D. H. Delk, pastor, announ ces another singing convention at the Church of God Sunday after noon, May 23, at 2 p. m. He states that large crowds have been attending and all musicians and singers are welcomed. The public is also cordially in vited. birthday they’ll bake me a cake. Regardless, with or without, I am anxious to see this enormous bak ery that cost over a million and a half to build. Everyone is invited to inspect the plant and receive a hospitality basket containing sam ples of their products. That’s real Southern hospitality in my estima tion. One of the professors who com piled the Peabody report on schools made a remark at the re cent public meeting which I jot ted down in the notebook. Some how it seems quite meaningful to me. He stressed that in teaching, the aim should be to make the child “different;” each one should be encouraged and guid ed in the direction of expressing his own individualism. Today, he said, there is too much of a ten dency to make the children alike, to follow an identical pattern. Again, the answer to this would be the same as with other prob lems — reduce the teacher load. The teacher does not have the time to spend on individuals when she has a class of 40 to 45. I want to encourage every body to read the digest of the Peabody report which begins in this week’s Times. As readers no doubt have seen before they got this far, The Times this week is our annual graduation edition dedicated to portraying the activities of the two senior classes. I, too, want to offer my congratu lations. Have reserved the message to the end because I didn’t want to discourage anyone who had hap pened to read the column this far. Am feeling in a rather serious mood about this subject, for you see 1954 marks the tenth anniver sary since I received my diploma from Bob Kimzey at Brevard high school. In 10 years I have natural ly had the opportunity to observe the classes as they leave high school and go out into the hard, cruel world, which isn’t really that way at all unless that’s the way you want to make it. Today I be lieve I know more clearly what the graduate is thinking than I knew that May night in 1944. Everybody is telling him the best four years of his life are ended, but he doesn’t believe it. The boys are being told they’ll have to go in the army, may be fight another war, but the lat ter seems a little preposterous to that fellow wearing the levis, a t shirt and a crew haircut. Some are maybe a little frightened, but not much, because the courage and con fidence that a 17-year-old has could really move mountains. I wish I had retained just a little of it— maybe some of that burning ambi tion, too. It’s wonderful that to day’s young people are learning earlier the responsibilities they have to their home, their commu nity, their country and above all themselves. There is something about this initiative that should make adults confident the boys and girls of today are just as fine, just as smart, just as capable, if not more so than 10 or even 20 years ago. To the seniors of 1954 I do want to say this. That old, old story about America being the land of opportunity is not hokum; it’s the honest-to-goodness truth. There is a place for every boy and girl, a chance for every one of you to re ceive a higher education, if you want it badly enough. After that the gate has been opened, the road is waiting, and all you have to do is follow it, but be sure to check your road map first to make sure you’re going in the right direction. Every Day is Savings Day at A&P! You don't have to woit for weekends or special days to save money on fine foods at A&P. For the savings resulting from A&P's policy of low operating expenses and profits are shared with you every day, day in, day out. So shop whenever you like —you're sure to find the kind of values you like. The kind that help you eat better and spend less. —.
