Address AH Communications To The BrevaVd News: COMMENCEMENT A SUCCESS^ The series of entertainments con nected with the High School commen cement last week demonstrated quite clearly the proficiency of Brevard >oys and girls in the art of expres sion — the ability to render various cinds of selections in a way to please audiences. Those who attended :ould hardly fail to have been im- >ressed with the excellent quality of he chorus singing, the pleasing man- ler in which reciters and declaimers rendered theirT>ieces, the good acting n the play, hnd the remarkable self- )ossession displayed by nearly all the jtudents in their parts. For all this credit is due to both teachers and pupils. Much training was necessary, and the results show ed skill on the part of instructors and aptness on the part of learners. Gr ForeiKn Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, MAY 6ih, 1921 GREAT ROAD PROGRESS: It looks like the dawning of a new day for Transylvania County, when we stop for a moment to consider \vhat has been done very recently for the construction of ROod roads. Two quite defin-te results have sprung from the recent conferences with the State H\s:hway Commission. One of these, recorded in last week’s issue of thi? paper, is the letting of the con- . , . , to build a hard surfaced r„ad ”>’on s.tting by the ' o’.ver covered comn, to remember; THE PRAYER CORNER; PARTINGS. Wo never know when we say good bye at our doors to the friends we love, whether or not we shali ever meet them again. If Jacob and Joseph had forseen the fact that for such a long time they could not look into each other’s face it would have been a n ost tender parting. We should always say, “Good bye” jven for the briefest separation from our dear ones and friends in thought fulness, for we may never clasp hands with them any more. We should never separate in an angry or impatient mood, with unforgiveness, bitterness, or misunderstanding. We should not say our “Good byes” cold ly, indifferently, but always with love and gentleness. Suppose that the one who goes out, should be brought home dead, or i should return to find the one dead ! v.hom he left at the door — if the j parting: were wnth harsh word, or, look, or thought, how must the sur- i ROADS MILUONS Publio Directly Interested In Effort to Stfp Drain on Carriers’ Income.

But that it is the ^' '.ir of Jt clear r >ad to progress :<.o* ?-iany will be inclined to doubt. Tlj us of Transylvania there is a -I'ofial significance. Wo are off the line of raihvay and have sutiered Jiracli in the past on account of our violated posif.cn. In recent years v.e have been made to suffer still the h;st v/ord or look!

Parting at i "The entire country, Its consumers, its farmers, Its workmen, and even tlie railway employees themselves, are di rectly interested with the railroads in cutting down railway operating ex penses.” This is the keynote of the case pre sented by the railroads to the United States Rallrond Labor Board, now in session in Chicago. The railroads have submitted evi dence to y»e board to show why the National Agreements alTef'ting railway shop labor should be abrogated, be lieving that this is a vitally important step In the process of reducing op erating expenses. l%Is step is not only necessary to insure adequate earning powor to the railroads, but will make possible an ultimate reduction In rates. The agreements were made by the Railroad Administrat'on just before the end of Federal control. The sun total of the rules and working condi tions provided by the National Agree ments have increased the operatinr.' expenses of the railroads by hundreds of millions, and have decreased the emcieney aird output of the employees in other ways resulting in losses which cannot be calculated in dollcr. fM!(] cents. For several ^eeks the railroad.' have ?>een multiplying instances off ho ?nd orti'avagant results of t! e rules fubtcneu upon Lhem l>y i... Xational Agreements^. In one cas.' cited before the hoard :: i;!achinist was paid hours’ wages ]'>r work all performed within eiglir \ours. This case illiist?'f:ted tlie elTecr < f the rule that for each “call” tlie worker is to he paid five hours’ waiter even if he works only ten minutes. The case of a car repairer on the Virr^inian Hallway, who was recently [laid over $1,000 for services wliic!: were never rendered, and in addition rl.'o .same amount of overtime as ws.^ made l)y h}» gang, was another exam- pie. In connection with the rnle that none but mechanics or apprentlce> siiall do mechanics’ work, the follow ing was cited to Indicate its nntalr- ::ess; MICKIE SAYS: n:ore from this isolation because we , . , . had no sood highways connectinst us ™>i«-riaid «ith tears and pain.

And now comes one of the most path etic and insistent of all the cries that have been wafted across the ocean to our shores. IVIinions in China are starving as . the result of flood and drought. Their 'r.etd is just as > great as that of the 'Belgians a few years ago, or the Poles, or Russians, or any of those whose wretched condition stirred the sympathies of American hearts. An attempt is being made here to r£.ise funds by a public entertainment to be given Friday night of this week. The small sum that each one pays for admission will go to swell the total of contributions to a worthy cause. The Betterment Association and other o^anizations preparing for this entertainment are to be commen ded for their public spirit. Besides the money raised, they will have brouTht the people together in a cau-e worthy of their attention. may never clasp bar. ds with them any more.
