BOOST HIGHLANDS
Are we Highlands boosters ? Are
we Highlands knockers? Or are
» we following the path of least re
sistance and just indifferent?
The first course, being a booster,
will lead us on to greater heights
as an incorporated town, and the,
finest tourist resort in the North
Carolina mountains. To be a
booster implies giving more than
receiving. It implies a desire to
give to our summer visitors the
best that is within us. Service is
the’ best type of boosting whieh
we as Highlands citizens can ex
emplify.
The second course, being a
knocker, is something which each
of us heartily boo and hiss at, but
knocking is not always spoken
aloud. Beware that in no way you
become a knocker to the best little
incorporated town in Eastern
America. None of us deserves the
reputation of being a knocker to
the best, interests of Highlands,
WE HOPE!
The third course, that of indif
ference. This is the most insidi
ous, the most under.flowing, the
most hampering course to follow.
The man or woman in Highlands
who does not care what becomes
of our town, what becomes of our
business; what becomes of our
schools, what becomes of our
churches, does more harm to the
growth and reputation of High
lands, than good. As in sports,
team work is necessary in order
to win; so it is in life—co-opera
tion on the part of all citizens is
vitally necessary to the good that
can be done in and for Highlands.
Let’s all be boosters in EVERY
SENSE OF THE WORD! Sup
port your home town business,
churches, schools, and every
agency working towards the ulti
mate good of Highlands.
ARE WE LOSING FAITH?
(Continued from Page One.)
our ministers might have the ma
terial comforts of life. Give of our
time that our ministers might have
a full church each Sunday, and not
have to spend hours on end trying
to bring something to help make
us think, and only have a handful
of people each Sabbath morning.
Give of our thoughts that the path
of his ministrations might be
smoothed for him; that through
our PRAYERS he might be in
spired by God to help to inspire
us; give of our deeds, that those
•seeing us might want to emulate
us, thus doing what Christ Himself
has said, “Do unto others that
which you would have men do unto
you.”
Perhaps you are not aware of it,
but someone is forming their life
in the same path as you are foi’m
ing or have formed yours. You
are someone’s idol. Are you going
to lead them astray, or are you
going to let them see that you live
a Godly life, and have them fol
low in your footsteps towards that
end? You will have to answer
that question for yourself. But,
whichever you do, someone else is
going to do the same. And the
burden of his guilt or righteous
ness in the end, will rest upon your
shoulders.
If, after reading this, you are
desirous of seeking a better mode
C'4 living, the time to do it is
RIGHT NQW, not next week or
the week after. • Remember our
Master said, “Let the dead bury
the dead,” and that means
thoughtts, actions and words, as
fell as the material act of burial.
Start in by attending your church,
whatever that may be; if your
church is not in the community in
which you reside, then attend some
church which is in that community.
Tnen start giving of your, money to
the support of that church. You
will be surprised the joy that comes
your way, after you have given to
the church. Some advise the tithe
method (giving ten per cent of
your income to the Lord); some
don’t. We say that the tithe meth
od is the best method to make a
start towards giving of money to
God. It teaches you the value of
| giving as well as the joy of it.
| Right here we’d like to cite a con
crete example of tithe giving,
; -which may surprise many of you.
1 The writer’s father is a tither; has
been all of his life. He has told
| us that for every dollar he has
i given to the work of God and His
Kingdom, two dollars seem to find
their way into bis pocket. Every
one can give to God this way. TRY
IT!
So this is ocr plea. Let’s all
strive to give the ministers in our
I community a “break.” They de
! serve it, you know. We spend at j
j least, 25c for the movies per week;
I can we afford to give less to the,
| Church ? No, a thousand times,
; no.
SCHOOL THEATER
! WELL VENTILATED
The Highlands School Theater is
exceptionally well ventilated. It is
! operated by a blower system of
circulating air through the audi.
| torium. The writer was kindly
shown through the theater one
morning last week and was so im
pressed with the advantages of our
local theater that he felt the pub
lic should be informed.
In the rear of the auditorium to
the right of the stage is found the
i mechanism which controls the
speed of the circulating fan situ
i ated in a loft above. The blower
■ is shaped somewhat similar to the
1 old water wheel used on The Old
Mill. The paddles rotate in the
! same direction, pulling in the out
! side air through a grill like ’win
dow, and forcing it out into the
auditorium through a similar grill
work. The fan stands six feet
! high and is, at full speed, capable
of forcing air into the auditorium
at the rate of 18,000 cubic feet per
minute. This rate is entirely too
high for the outside temperature
of Highlands, wdiich is generally
cool anyway. Hence the blower is
operated at a reduced speed here,
in order to assure comfort for the
patrons of the theater.
-tt.il electric motor unves tne ian. j
i The control is very simply con
structed, consisting of only a |
switchboard and an oil pump out- j
; fit which, when pumped to its full |
i pressure, provides for the maxi
mum speed of the fan. A valve,
which when opened slows the fan
down, completes the picture of this
control board.
As the blower forces the air into
the auditorium, the old, stale air
is driven upward; until it passes
through* grill ventilators in the
ceiling of the auditorium, and
passes through the space between
ceiling and roof to vents which
carry it on outside. In the winter
time, the theatre is heated by two
circulating heating stoves, which
provide for warm comfort while
viewing the pictures being shown.'
It is obvious that our School

Theater has one of the most mod-1
ern and up to date air ventilating
systems to be found anywhere.
'Without doubt the temperature
can be lowered from normal out
side temperatures to fifteen de-,
grees ^cooler within a space of five 1
minutes in the Highlands School
Theater. The absence of windows«
in the building is found for two]
very good reasons. First, the airi
circulation can be kept more uni
form without the windows; and,
second, the acoustic properties of i
the theater are vastly better with-1
out the shattering egect of win-1
dows. Ample fire precautions are!
taken, however, through the exits'
found on each side of the stage
and in the rear of the auditorium.
