FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
*r
EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON
The J. B. Jones men’s Sun
day School class at First Bap
tist Church here must be an
interesting one to belong to.
Among other things, the
class must noid some sort oi
record tor members currently
seeding or nouung public ol
fice.
■ i Out ol a membership ol 22
or a men, you will lmd tne
following:
j Democratic candidate for
the Nortn Caroima Senate,
Cecil J. lull;
Transylvania County Re
publican rariy Chairman, bill
White;
Current Democratic Regis
ter 01 lieeus, r red Israel;
Current Democratic County
School nuaiu member, boboy
Merrill;
Democratic candidate for
County ocuool boaru, bill
iNorns;
Republican candidate for
County acuool board, Gerald
Denver.
When you add County
Scliooi superintendent Harry
Corom to tms list, you can
easily see that almost 30% of
the ciass membeismp is serv
ing or seeding to serve our
coinmumiy in vital areas oi
pubnc service.
Incidentally, one of the
class members say that wluie
the membership frequently
discusses many important
and interesting topics, parti
san pouucs is not one of
them.
“We all enjoy a true Chris
flan fellowship In our class,
and combining that with a
sincere interest to learn more
about the Bible leaves us
little time to discuss any
thing other than our regular
Sunday School lesson. That’s
always interesting enough for
us,” he said.
Eston Phillips, Letd of the job
printing department of Inc
limes, came up with an issue
of The Sylvan . Valley News,
published here in Brevard on
August 23, 1912.
Of particular interest was an
ordinance adopted by the Town
oi Brevard which limited the
storing of gasoline, kerosene or
‘ substances oi like ana kin
dred character” to five bane^s.
Another headline that attract
ed our attention was: ‘‘Ciga
rettes Ate Bad For Women”.
iVien weren’t mentioned.
And an ad that brought a
cnuckle was sponsored Dy C. F.
Simmons Medicine Company. It
said that Dr. Simmons squaw
Vine Wine relieves all aches
and pains.
The paper made for some
very interesting reading.

People who don’t know
whetner they are coming or
gomg are usually in the big
gest hurry to get there.

Joke of the week . . .
A lady was looking through
an old cookbook and came
across a story about a traveler
wno told a teilow down in Vir
ginia that he had a great recipe
lor baking a ham.
“What you do,” he said, “is
you put the ham in a deep pan
and lor one whole day you soak
it m rye whiskey. On the second
aay you aad a bottle of Ja
maica iw.n and you cook it a
wnue. On the tmrd day, you add
a bottle of Dort wine. On the
lourth day. a bottle of bourbon
and then you finish cooking it.
iiow does it sound?”
“Well.” said the Virginian.
“I don’t know about the ham—
but it sounds like the makings
of mighty good gravy.”
And we also like . . .
The mountain dweller found
a small mirror, the first he
had ever seen. He looked into
it with surprise and exclaim
ed: “By cracky, it’s a pitcher
of me old pappy!” Sentiment
ally, he hid tue mirror under
the bed.
His wife saw him hiding it,
and when the man left the
house, she took the mirror,
looked into it. and snorted,
“So that’s the old hag he’s
been chasin’!”
“Our forefathers did without
sugar until the 13th century,
without buttered bread until the
16th, tea or soap until the 17th,
without gas, matches, or elec
tricity until the 19th, without
cars, camp'd or frozen foods
until the ktitb. Now, what was it
you were complaining about?”
There is an energy crisis.
And we need your heip.
