with moral and spiritual values.
The college receives generous
support from the United Metho
dist Church of Western North
Carolina, both financially and
spiritually. Owned and operat
ed by The Methodist Church,
we welcome all students whose
educational goals can be met in
such a setting.
“Brevard College considers
it a privilege to be a part of
higher education in North
Carolina. We desire to con!*;
tribute significantly to the
educational growth of our
state. The legislation provides
for financial assistance to
students who wish to attend
the independent colleges in
our state. This year almost
60% of our students arc
North Carolinians. It is Bre
vard’s goal to attract an in
creasing number of North
Carolina students to our
campus next year and in the
years -ahead. We believe our
college is an educational as
set to our state and region.
It is our desire to make the
very most of this asset.
“As we enter upon this aca
demic year 1971 ■ 72, we seek
the support of all the citizens of
Brevard and Transylvania Coun
ty. As President of Brevard Col
lege, I pledge in return the co
operation of the college in
realizing all the worthwhile
goals and aims that will make
this an even finer community.”

CEDAR MOUNTAIN — Goals
are set each year in the com
munity and when these are
completed it gives you a sense
of satisfaction that once again
you have done something to
improve your community.
The specific project spoken
of here was taken by the Girl
Scouts and Brownies, under the
leadership of Ed M. Jones. For
years the entrance at the State
Line had been an eyesore. So,
Mr. Jones went to the S. C. High
way Commission and secured
written permission for this
beautification project. The
ground was leveled and shrub
bery was planted. Posts were
put up by the State. As you
pass, take a look. It sure is
beautiful.
We take this opportunity to
say thank you to Mr. Jonas, be
cause without his dedicated
work and leadership, it would
have taken us so much longer.
“Thank you, Ed!” Also, to those
who donated shrubery, others
who helped us a lot and to our
scouts and their Leadars we
say thank you. Notice the new
sign saying “Entering Cedar
Mountain Community”. For this
we thank Miss Sally Weldon.
Everyone sure enjoyed a very
good BTU Social on Sunday

L,'i1 1 By Prize-Winning Columnist! SMSES!MIMSSM
A -prize-winning columnist for THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, the Brevard weekly newspaper
that has won more prizes for excellence in journalism than any other weekly in the state, Cal Car
penter, in sharp newspaper style, has captured the essence of this area in this collection of the best
of his columns, “From ALMAR Farm” 4 j . - ...
A retired Air Force colonel, Cal Carpenter and his wife, Marge, came to Transylvania County
at age 45. They had always wanted to live on a farm, and though a thoroughly urbanized couple,
they pitehed into farm life on 70 acres near Rosmah. Colonel Carpenter’s account of the many
happenings is oftimes hilarious, as when he writes about the “Bib Overalls,” the sex-changing
chicken and their encounter with a setting hen. It is sometimes nostalgic, when he writes of his
boyhood; it is occasionally sad when he writes “A Moment of Silent Tribute,” a sensitively beautiful
tribute to Marge s grandmother, and “Butch’s Obituary,” a farewell to a well-loved farm dog It
is always interesting, always different; it always carries the clear message of his own contentment
and happiness on ALMAR Farm.
