Is this not worthy enough to instill in overy young woman's mind the im portance of the club and what it can do for her? "It's a boy," is a very jKipular ex pression on which could be written the future hopes and aspirations of fathers throughout the world, Am bitious Caesar yearned his heart out for a son, so much so that ho com manded Antony, in the course of bis race on the Feast of the Lupercal, to touch the hem of Calpuruia's skirt so that sho might bring forth a son to rule Rome in Cascar's stead. What acounts for this ever constant desire for another generation? The one* who are now older have a hope whicjj. rests in us. They erv to us what John McCrae said in his "Flanders Field:" ? "To you from falling hands we throw the torch. Bo yours to hold it high.' (Continued on Page 2, History of The Junior Club ? ' - / '[*'('* ? jr i (Contributed by a Member) The Junior Club, was organized ii April *1927, by the Woman's Club of Sylva. The organization was thi second of its kind organized in North Carolina and the fifth to be feder ated with the clubs of North Caro lina. The following girls were chartei members : Ituth Oliver, Docia Garrett, Kathryn MeKee Nicholson, . Wilina A.lison Jones. Myrtle Henson, Maude Lcatherwood, Aln a Fisher, who now lives in Andrews, Irene Cathey, whose present home is in Asheville, and Louise Duekett Cole, who resides in Clyde. Helen Cathey Dillard was ippointed chairman by the mothei ' el ub. She has aeted in this capacity sinew the birth of the elnb and many of our successful projects have been the efforts of h?r untiring Interest in our club. During the years since; our elnb became an organization, we; have had I he following members: The charter members mentioned above, Nell Cowan, Llewellyn Rhodes*. Edith Geisler Moody, Sadie Reeve? If, ale, Pauline Miller, Hattie Crosa En Joe, Evelyn Cafnj-bell, Cathcy, Sue? Allison, Rose Garrett, Irene Oliver. En ily Smith, Katherine Richardson Potts, Edith Oliver Sutton, Evelyn Sir inn.

The first president was Kathrvn M?Kee Nicholson, who served faith fully and loyally. Wilina Al'ison Jones, the second president, carried on the work in the enthusiastic way in which is was begun. Ruth Oliver served an near perfect as any mem ber could reach. Docia Garrett, who is our present president, is putting? the best of her versatility into the club. One meeting is held each pionft^ The membership is n:ade up of tctch ers, business girls, and young mar ried gir's. Our organization strives j fo develop her members along two , lines: cultural and civic. For our | cultural advancement we have stud- j i?d the following things: Stoddard's ' Lectures. Tlie Literary Cmild books. ?1im books from the Hook of the Month Club, Master nieces and the lives of th? a?tis*s from the Picture of th" Month Cl"b. The S?vcn Won ders of the Ancient Wor'd, Special nvoTairs in which we took up topics of universal int"r?,st ns the Washiiv ?on Tticen^'-nnial Celebration^ music from members, and other contribu tions from the talents of onr mem bers. We strive in every wnv to contrib ute our share in the civic activities of the town and community . Wc have, since the organization of our ebib, helped the welfare or^a nidation of the town hi coH^eMnf* and distrib uting clothing and fond to the needy. Tha past vear a special matinee. , through the splendid cooperation of , Mr. -Theodore Dills, the Lyric Theatre uiariager, was given.

The club gave .f35.00 to lh? Parent-Teacher Association to b? paid on tlie Elementary school cur tain. We aiso furnished n:ilk and veg etables for the undernourished sehooi ehildren. Each year (he club gives a medal to the student who accomplish es most in the study of piano. . The club contributes $10.00 a yeai to tho Sallic Southhall Cotton Fund, which provides a loan fund for girls in nht?m ihcir education without in terest. Two Jackson County girls jhave been able to go to college be cause of this fund. .. The Junior Club helped the Rot an j Club sponsor a eomedy. The proceed* j went to the C. J. Harris Community ! Hospital. The one hundred dollar* j iron: the clubs was duplicated by tin Duke Foundation fund. Last summer our project for one month was foi feach member to contribute some food or some flowers for the hospital at least one? during the month. The club furnished the nursery at the hospital. This month the club will send twenty five favors to the state banquet of JtfuoCi.Clubs. These favors will be an original expression of our scclion of North Carolina and will be an ad vertisement for the "Land of the Sky." We arc also making a com plete layette for a baby in The Junior Club Orphanage at Greensboro. This institution is the main project for all the Junior Clubs in North Carolina. The club is planning to p'ant roses on either side of Highway No. 10, 011 both sides of Sylva. The biggest event of the year is the annual Spring Fashion Show, in which the merchants of the town ad vertise their clothing. We feci that this is the best way that Sylva can. let the surrounding territory know that her stores have just as up-to date things as can be found in the larger cities. Our ultimate goal is the erection of a club house uhieh shall add to the architectural beauty of Sylva and be a meeting place for all those Sylvans who are interested in making Sylva the center of cultural advantages and civic enterprises in the extreme west of North Carolina. Who's Who In The Junior Club (Contributed by a Member) 1. Bojjig chairman for our club since it was a club, speaks for Helen Diilard. She has always put her best into every thin}; that has been the dub'#. Helen's talents, musical and othefwistf, have meant more to the club than she will perhaps ever know. . 2. Our president, Docia Garrett, may be seen on the streets or in bus iness houses almost any time in the day. If you were to investigate, you would l'ind that Docia is trying to put some Junior Club activity across. 3. Kathryn Nicholson was so loved by the club that the organization jjave her the reins of its executive office first of all. Her motto is "Our Club." ? ( / 4. At our Inst meeting, I heard a member say, " Wilma Jones is one of our best and most loyal members. We enn always count on her.'' Tho words of that member were 'yead ' by every member of the club who know that Wilma Allison Jones, was always veady, willing And capable. 5. We mention Ruth Oliver with a certain amount of pride. The heads of tho club girls puffed out a bit when wc read in The AshcvilJ? Cit izen that Ruth holds the most re ? sponsible position in the financial" world of any girl of her age in North Carolina. Her executive ability hns made our club biggei and better. C. We pause here to mention our honor a 17 president, Mrs.'E. L. McK>e Tii the minds of most Carolinians she is the most distinguished woman in the. state. Our club mother was the first woman in North C.irolina to represent the women of her state in the Senate of N"orth Caro'in.i. We arc proud of her. "Miss Govt" is truly our club mother. .7 Eddie Marie Sutton, who is the wife of our banker, has instituted a hon:c which is an example of a club woman. She serves in any way in the club. 8. Edith Oliver Sutton belongs to the ''Oliver Clan." Wo can always count on one of them to do the thing and do it right. 9. Evelyn Sutton may be the least physieal'v of tho Sutton .trio, but her suggestions and helps in the club arc something that we couldu't do with out. ' . 10. Rose Garrett teaches the little things and we couldn't do without her. Her place of business, and her Horn? have always had the latch on the outside of the door to club girls. (Continued on Pajje 5) Cullowhee Appropriation ' Is Stepped Up to Double (By DAN TOMPKINS, The appropriations for Western Carolina Teachers College sitting at $40,000 a year, when the bill left the House and went _qvcr to the Sen ate, and there is no reasonab'e ground for belief that the Senate which is decidedly more liberal, when it come; i.o appropriating money that it hasn't got than is the House, will reduce th< allowance for the Jackson eonntj institution so much as a nickel. Thereby hangs a tale. Mr. Henrv Burke, assistant Director of th Budget, prepared his figures on al appropriations for State /expendi turcs, and placed Western Nortl Carolina . State Teachers College a $30,000 a year for the next tw. years. The Appropriations Commit tee, at the insistence of Senator Fran lis and Representative Tompkins along with other Westerners, raiser the figure to $40,000. on the grounr that the lower figure was not ii keeping with other appropriations fo other State institutions. So the bil went to the House with a $40,000 ap propriation for the school. Tan Bowie, when he prepared his sub stitute for the committee bill, user Burke's original figures as a basi iron which to begin cutting the ap propriations in an attempt to stav olt a sales tax, and he put Cullowhc ?it $22,900. He admitted that thi was wrong, and joined in the Cherr; Amendment that put it back up t< $37,500. That was the amount adopt ?d by the House sitting as a commit tee of the whole (or in the hole) Then came the Barden-Turner sub stitute, introduced in the House oi Thursday night. It had raised th appropriation for the University b' a considerable ?fignre, and along wit! other institutions In the east ant1 Piedmont; but had cut off every on of the Teachers Colleges down belo? ft* ' t^?ry-T?owie figures.^ ^ester^ Carolina Teachers College, in the Bar den-TurnPr (Bnrke) compromise, hat' been compromised between $40,00; and $37,500 down to $28,700, and th< fight started. Somolvody had blun dered. Friends of the University hac1 figured that the University had many friends, but the teachers col leg* were the red-headed step-children of the State, and that they would br unable to muster enough strength to raise any considerable amount of dust in the House; but somebody had made a fearful error. Tom Turner, of Guilf/ord, (ami there's a real nice boy), introducer! the bill, which claiiucd as its daddie Gregg Cherry. Judge Bard? n an<"i Mr. Turner, but which was marked all over with Henry Iiurke. The Gen Meman from Jackson began askin-r thr Gentleman from- Guilford as tr how the figures were arrived at. from n liat basis they were calculated, and how come 'cm in a bill, anyway, whrn he was asking the House to adopl it as a substitute for the substitute for the committee substitute for the Budget Bill, and the merriest row that either house of the General As sembly has seen is many moons wav on. The questions were hurled at Barden, 'Cherry, and Turner from every corner of the hall. Eight o; more members were on their feet n< one time, asking questions, and fh< genial Reg Harris, than vJiom then is no better presiding officer, could n't do a thing with 'em. Soon all three of the gentlemen wlin had, :> half hour before brought r.l,c bill to the house and proudly ('aimed it n their own, w ere disdain ?i>? the par entage of it, and wt-iv .??skin-' lor permission to withdraw ihe brat nnd send it back to its real daddy. While it lasted, it was as great .1 ?hov: as has been put en. Tile lobbies, and galleries were packed, ami ihe folks there enjoyed it hugely, lhat is those who didn't get a- "angry a* were many of fhe numbers thorn - selves. Grand Old Governor Doughton, wbo was speaker of the House forty vears a?o, rose and moved that the House adjourn until the next morn ing, and expressed the hoj)e that ?he. members would return in better humor. The only thiner accomplished was that it was clearly demonstrated that Western -Carolina Teachers College did have some friends in the House, and that they refuse to allow it to be the orphan child of the State institutions. Next morning, after the appropri-l ation for the University had been] raised to a substantial amount abovo the Cherry-Bowie Bill figures, Wes tern Carolina Teachers College was shot back np to the $40,000, the amount that had been originally allotted by the Committee on Ap propriations. There it stands today, and no chajice to get it baek down. The members from the West, who are in favor of rigid economy, and have so voted on every ballot, were willing that the school take the same percentage of reduction as was given nil other institutions, but no more. It was when it came to the irore, that the House was thrown into tur bulent session. The Appropriations bill was passed and sent over to the Senate. The bill as passed by the House provides for total appropriations for the bienniuin of $78,919,000. This compares with tho committee . bill total of $82,770,000, and a total of $107,238,000 appropriated two years ago. Total budget recommendations for the biennium was $79,544,789 a year,, of which $4,423,274 is for debt ser vice, and $14,050,000 for the puhlir schools. Educational institutions were fin ally placed on the following annual basi.s: Consolidate University, $700, 240: State College extension, $80,100; East Carolina Teachers' College, $84, 280; Negro A. & T., $28,030; Wes tern Carolina Teachers' College, $40, 000; Appalachian State Teacher* College, 43,290; Cherokee Indian Normal School, $13,410; Winston Salem Negro Teachers' College, $23, i210; Elizabeth City Negro Normal, $13,780; Fayetteville Negro Normal, $16,850; North Carolina College for Negroes, $21,170; North Carolina School for the Deaf, $80,000; Stato School for the Blind and Deaf, $80, 280 and blind student aid, $1,500. Forces seeking restoration of tho ^ornrniff^Kll fignre' of $832;240 i year for the Consolidated University were defeated. But an amendment! was adopted raising the University, appropriation to the BuORet Commis sion limine of $700,240, as compared l with $048,800 in the Bowie-Cherry compromise bill, and only $570,180 in the original bill. But while the University approj> | nation was left at $72,000 short of the committee bill, appropriations for teachers colleges, Negro and Indian and correctional schools, were boost ed back to committee bill figured through adoption of an amendment offered on second reading by a vot?o so decisive as to require no division. The school figures, as passed by the House contemplate a reduction in the salaries ~of teachers by 25 pec cent of the level of 1930 and 30 ]>er cent for superintendent and tho higher paid principals. The reduc tions in the salaries of other em 'plovees of the State were set at; forty per cent. The Senate now has the bill, and its committee is raising the figurc.4 in the bill back up to the committee recommendations, iu most respects. The Senate contemplates, unless there is a hitch somewhere, to t the bill back to the House by Thin ? day night, and it is thought that the eight months school term, with abol ition of local school taxes, will be coupled with it, when it comes back over. There will come a conference in an attempt to iron out the differ ences between the two houses. After that, or soon after, the Rev enue bill will come out of the com mittee, and thereby hangs another tale. The question will be as to where and how to get the money that the Senate has ordered spent. A large bloc in the I Coubc fought valiantly ro prevent appropriations being made in amounts sufficient to force the levying of a new or addi tional taxation. They won part of their battle, and lost part. The Sen ate is running the figures back up, and there is no money in sight to meet the bill. The present sources of revenue are on the blink. Income receipts, gasoline receipts, franchise receipts and the like have fallen off appreciably, under the continue*! hammering of Old Man Depression, and the 15c State ad valorem tax for schools has been abolished, in con formity to platform pledges. Another And maybe a hotter con test will be wajred in the House tal prevent any new taxation being lev ied to meet the bills. Then, if that bf (Continued on Pig* 6) ,
