Judge So Orders
Brevard Junior, Senior High
Schools Completely Integrated
Judge Wilson Warlick ruled
Monday in district court in
Asheville that the 32 Negro
junior and senior high school
students in Transylvania
would go to the Brevard
schools this fall instead of the
Hendersonville Negro high
school.
Those who desire to do so
may continue to go to the
Ninth avenue high school in
Hendersonville.
However, he made no rul
ing on the elementary schools
in Brevard which are expected
to remain segregated. Negro
students in grades first
through the eighth will con
tinue to go to the Kosenwald
school here as in the past.
l.ast year Itiibcn J. Hailey,
Asheville attorney, petitioned
Ihe courts to admit all 40 Ne
gro junior and senior high
school students to the Bre
vard schools. The courts ruled
that eight be permitted to at
tend during the 1962-’(i3 term.

Much Waste
Town Is Facing Crisis In
Waler System, Help Asked
By ■ Staff Writer
The Town of Brevard an<l
Transylvania county are begin
ning the greatest period of
growth since 1!);;!). And with
this growth it is Ir ading on the
brink of disaster unless steps
are taken, to prevent it.
This is the opinion of the
Board of Aldermen and other
town officials.
The problem is water — too
little and too much. Too little
water to take care of the con
tinued growth of the county,
and too much in the sewage
treatment plant.
The engineers who designed
the present sewage plant stated
that it should meet the needs of
a town of 10,000 people provid
ed water meters were installed.
The sewage plant is almost worn
out because it has been over
worked, the officials state.
Studies by the Town reveal
that the average family uses
about 5,000 gallons of water per
month. It further reveals that
many families are using as much
as 19,000 gallons per month,
while others are using as little
as 500 gallons per month. Yet
all of these families pay the
flat rate of S4.00 per month
for water and sewer service.
Officials feel that only an
adequate metering system will
eliminate this waste. Meters will
compel water users to fix leaky
faucets and water closets, elim
inate the running faucet in win
ter time, and reduce other forms
of waste.
They point out that water met
ers will not mean increased
rates, that for many families the
water bill lie reduced. But it
does mean that each family
In Masonic Temple
Gavin To Speak At Lincoln
Day Dinner Here Saturday
Robert L. Ravin, chairman of
the North Carolina Republican
Executive committee, will be
the guest speaker at the Tran
sylvania Republican Lincoln
Day dinner Saturday, March 16th,
at 7:00 o’clock in the Masonic
Temple.
Mr. Ravin was the Republican
candidate for governor in the
1900 general election. A resi
dent of Sanford, where he has
a law practice, lie was the dis
trict attorney of his judicial dis
trict during the Eisenhower ad
ministration.
He was named state Republi
can chairman when a vacancy
occurred prior to the election
last fall.
Jack Wyatt, chairman of the

would pay for the amount of
water they used.
If something is not done about
the situation, officials point out
that a new sewage plant will
have to be built and a new
i water supply developed in the
; very near future at a cost of
more than a quarter million dol
1 lars,
They believe that water met
ers will save this expense, that
they will reduce the threat of
water shortage in time of
draught, and that they will de
lay the day when the present
water supply must be expanded.
The Board of Aldermen is try
ing to face the problem square
ly. At the March meeting, it
adopted a resolution calling for
the issue of 813,000 bonds to
cover partially the costs of in
stalling water meters.
This is a progressive step and
merits the support of the public.
