M&Tl-6-10tp Two Nabbed In School Robbery Officers have charged two young Brevard men with breaking, entering, and lar ceny in connection with the theft of $1,500 worth of equipment from the new Brevard Elementary School, Brevard Police Chief Jimmy Rowe has announced. Facing the charges are Larry Wiggins, 16, and William Nerren, 18. Chief Rowe said they were apprehended last Friday night in the act of removing the equipment from the school on the Greenville Highway Among the loot were two 16 M. M. projectors, a typewriter, an adding machine, and other school equipment, the officer said. “Since the schools were moving last week, we ex pected some action of this type,” Chief Rowe said. So as a cooperative venture, the Brevard Police Department, The Transylvania sheriff’s Dept., and the State Bureau of Investigation kept the school staked out.” The youths carried the equipment to a car, then the officers moved in to make the arrests. “Everything was recovered,” he said. Chief Rowe said that two Numerous Activities Embraced By Jaycees BY BOB LEIPFERT Many people wonder just what the Jaycees do and how are they involved in the community. The Jaycees in Brevard have been, and continue to be, involved in varied activities throughout the year. To enlighten those who may not be familiar with Jaycee ac tivities, some of the projects the Jaycees have conducted in our community are; “Christmas House,” Provides food, clothing and toys for approximately 200 needy families during the holiday season. ‘‘Christmas Tree Sales,” Provides finances for the Jaycees to conduct projects throughout the year. “Fluorescent Arm Bands for Students,” A means to protect students in the early morning hours while waiting for school buses. “Jelly Week,” A project conducted to raise money to build a burn center for North Carolina. “Operation Threshold,” Public Awareness project to tackle alcoholism and alcohol abuse. “Group Home,” A major project presently underway to provide ~ home for the physically and mentally handicapped adults on Transylvania County. Throughout the year the Jaycees have provided financial aid to the han dicapped children in Haiti, The Epilepsy Association, Sheltered Workshop, for the handicapped, of which several Jaycees are members of the Board, and camperships earlier break-ins at the old Brevard Junior High School were also cleared up with one of the arrests. which allows 5 un derprivileged children to attend a summer camp. This is but a few of the areas the Jnycees are providing aid. Also the Jaycees are in volved with the youth of the community. We have provided financial support to Little League Baseball, special Olympics and sponsorship of a flag football team. Projects coming up in the near future in the area of youth involvement are “Shooter Education" and a puppet show. The Jaycees’ second and final year of “Jelly Week” will be conducted during the week of January 19 through 25. Help build a better com munity and a better America. Join the Jaycees!

C. 28712 Pin y»VAVrtV*V»V*V#VtVtVOVtfrtV*V«Vi A while back I wrote a column complaining about the no smoking signs in some stores and businesses. I made the point that I think this is selfishness on the part of store operators and is more aimed toward their greater profits and convenience than any realistic concern for non smokers. I said that there is no serious medical opinion that smelling tobacco smoke in a building could possibly cause lung cancer in a non-smoker; and that anyone who is so sensitive to it that the smell is a real discomfort, is sick with an allergy and could not reasonably expect the general public to cater to his illness. Well, I got letters. There was name calling, comments to the effect that ALMAR Farm must be a tobacco farm; and one gentleman, a retired fire captain, cited all the fire deaths in the United States and seemed to be blaming all of them upon me and my stand that it is also the right of those who want to smoke to do so without being discriminated against. Now, I am in full agreement that those who do not want to smoke have that prerogative. But I am not in agreement with their efforts to pamper their personal smoke-smelling fetish with the loss of this individual freedom to the vast majority of adult Americans who want to smoke. I have been told by sincere, intelligent people that there should not only be separate public transportation for smokers and non-smokers, but also separate dining facilities, shopping places, and I guess, public toilets. I’ve been told by antiseptic youngster-adults that the older generation should “set a good example” for the younger one by not smoking. I wonder if these people have ever stopped to consider exactly what they advocating. I wonder if they realize they are asking for increased discr iminiation and stratification on the basis of a minority-irritating personal habit at a time in the history of' our society when we need most of all to come closer together. I wonder if the so-called liberal younger-adults, who seem to me about as un-liberal as you can get where their own personal wishes are con cerned, ever pause to think that perhaps a better example to set for the younger generation would be that of tolerance. I am sure these people have not realized that they are placing themselves in the same boat with the “I don’t want it therefore you shouldn’t hav*. it” group. This is the same group that doesn’t use alcoholic beverages because of personal religious or moral convictions and therefore fights tooth and nail to have laws passed to forbid the sale of potable alcohol and punish anyone who uses it — a dear attempt to legislate their views on others rather than persuade them. This is the same group that does not hunt nor have any other use for guns, so they fight for restrictive gun laws that would, eventually, take guns away from the many law abiding citizens who want them. This is the same group that writes letters to editors urging prohibitive taxes on what they term “unnecessary luxuries” such as alcohol and tobacco, never accepting the fact that many people use one or both in moderation and enjoy it without harming others; and that perhaps many things the teetotalers and non smokers buy and use might be rightly considered unnecessary luxuries by someone who does not want them. .^yr.Vt.v.Y.v.v.v.-.v.V.V.V.V.Vi^ spirit which it is written, simply a sincere effort to analyze social arguments that should be of concern to everyone. I’m sure they truly believe in their positions. But history has shown us that positions sincerely field have yet been the causer, of much wrong from the Crusades through the Inquisition, to present day minority troubles. Positions sincerely held are, too often intolerance. Despite considerable progress in the area of legal discrimination, we still have intolerance. This is because you cannot legislate tolerance. It comes from the individual — that willingness to accept from others something less than your own beliefs, stan dards, and ideals; a willingness to give up a little of your comfort in con sideration of others. It is not to our national nor our social advantage to provide another stratification in our society between smokers and non-smokers. Let this minor-irritation problem remain between individuals without public notice. Let the smoker be tolerant of the non-smoker and “vice versa.” Let individuals solve the problem between themselves even if it comes to a few lost friendships or even to blows. That’s better than having an all-powerful government stepping in and separating and regulating everyone out of his freedom of personal choice. For, make no mistake about it, government regulation of any personal prerogative argument results in the loss of individual freedom on both sides.

Some observers started in the rain as early as 8: IS a.m., and others continued their watch through 6 p.m. under clearing skies. Druing the count day, fifty four observers sighted fifty five species of birds in the fifteen mile diameter count circle centered at Rich Mountain. Two other species were seen during the count week. Four species seen for the first time on this, the third annual count included Horned Grebe, Canada Goose, Marsh Hawk, and Red-winged Black bird, bringing the total number of species observed during late December for the last three years up to seventy nine.
