BOARD OF EDUCATION In regular session last Monday, the Board of Education of Transyl vania county ordered paid to Edw. W. Williams the sum of $188.70 for auditing the booka of the Clerk of the Superior Courts for finee and forfeitures. This Audit was made | "as per agreement with old Board of- Education,' prior to June 80, 1928". The bill was filed with the Board of Education on December, 3, 1923. The payment of the bill was deferred until Mr. Williams could be present at a board meeting. Committeemen were appointed by the board as follows : George Nel on for Cathay's Creek No. 1 to take the place of H. N. Blake who | declined to serve.; E. Jordan Whit m're for Catheys Creek No. 2 to till the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of A. P. Morgan.; J. C Cash for Hogback No. 8 to All the vacancy caused by the resignation of S. R. Reid.

He also explained that the teachers of the county who hold oert.ificotes below the Elementary B. ,c'?ss cannot enter State summer schools under the rules adopted by the State department of Education. After considering these matters the board ordered that arrangements be perfected for a county summer sch ool this summer. A scho''u!e was arranged for the county superintendent, accompained by one member of the board, to meet w th the various school com mutes of the county within thi^ week and next for consultation in ! to the incidental financial needs of the various school districts for the coming school year. This tj necessary for an intelligent prep aration of the "May Budget." | MEETING OF MATHATASIAN I CLUB < On last Thursday afternoon the Mathatasian Club met at the home of Miss Florence Kern. The topic for discussion was "The Town Beautiful." Mrs. Ralph tfiah er, who has so ably substituted for Mrs. Seagle during the club year was the leader. Mrs. Fisher was called out of ?own she ?ent her carefully prepar ed, thoughtful paper to be read by Mrs. Beulah Zachary, chairman of the program committee. Mrs. Fisher stated, "Beuiy is not expensive. The natural beauty, and the wonderful climate were g'.ven to us but God did not intend to frame the picture. Something was expected of us. There Bhould be town planning from the beginning with restricted zones. In the spring why can't we dedi cate a week to the beutifying of our town? "In planting shrubbery and flow ers it would be wise to form a study class and learn just how and what to plant to the best advantage. "Fresh coats of paint would help , some of our main streets more than i all else. Clean, attractive shops and w'.n- j dows wil Ido more to attract atten- ! tion than all the wealth you can put there in dirty surroundings. If merchants could be made to realize the trade they gain or lose just from window views they would be con tinually carrying on better and more window campaigns. "With the help of every citizen we can make Brevard the most beau tiful town in Western North Caroli j na. A town that will advertise it- j self and a town of which every man ? will be proud. The subject was ably discussed i by Mrs. O. H. Orr and Mrs. E. H Norwood. Mrs. Orr suggested that every mother teach her children not to throw trash in public buildings nor on the streets or sidewalks. There should be trash containers on the streets and everyone taight to use them. Each citizen has a duty to per form in keeping the town clean and making it beautiful. | BANK CLOSED SATURDAY Crcvaru Uai.?. vt.il be ciosctl . Saturday, May 10th. as it is Memo- j rial day.

The mass meeting Sunday after noon, under the direction, of Mls)i Hosford resulted in the consecration of many young lives to tbfc service of Christ, Aa these young people stood around the altar, acpompfcln* ed by their parents and Sunday sch ool teachers, it was a most impres sive sight, "* ' ' Sunday uight Mr. Welch j?r*ach-' ed to a crowded house from the sub ject, "A Broken Hearted Christ." He gave evidence to prove thkt it was not the nails and the eronb which killed Jesus, but the burden, of sins of the world which actually broke his heart. Two special features of this ser vice were a, quartet by the pastors of the several churchs and a duet by Miss Hosford and Mr. Hartsell. On Tuesday night the faculty and students of Brevard Institute and the High School were special guests. Half the building was filled with these young people. The subject of the sermon was The Way of Salvation Made Plain as Day. The sermon was wonder fully clear, forceful and logical and made a deep impression.

A token will be presented to the group having the largest nu- I mber present. Friday night the fraternal orders ' will be special guests.

Prevention of Cruelty to Husbands, He has not yet joined the Woodmen but feels he is eligible for membersh p as he was born nnd reared in"the Sticks. This will b a largely attended and interesting service. CHORAL RECITAL One of the most delightful cnter ments ever given in Brevard was the Choral Society Recital last Sat urday night.

The commissioners adjourned to attend the road meeting in Ashe ville on Tuesday. GOOD ROADS MEETING The County Commissioners and | the Road Commissioners attended j the Good Roads meeting in Asheville [ Tuesday. This meeting was called by Col onel Pratt, president of Western North Carolina Inc. The principle feature of the me eting was the address by Frank Page ' chairman of the State Highway Commission. Mr. Page stated thati the ninth highway district gets a larger appropriation in population j than many other districts. North j Carolina people get more for their road money, he said, than any other spate's population, and this opinion is held by many tourists andi resi dents of other sections. Theta are two things which will spoil ^roads, water and politics. Very little can be done about the first, he said. A survey of the needs of Western North Carolina in road construction j was given by Col. Pratt who stres sed the advantages to be derived from co-operation, county with state ' authority and the citizens with both besides the necessary co-operation between each county and its neigh bors. The nucleus of a permanent good roads association was former) at the meeting Tuesday, with the apr mcnt of one man from each of the counties, represented at the meet'ng as director. T. H. Shipman was appointed for Transylvania. MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL Owing to illne-s of several mem bers of the coun^l the regular niee tini was posponej from Monday to Tuesday night. J. S. Bromfield appeared as a committee from the Chamber of Commerce asking the aldermen to name all unnamed streets and fur nish markers for all streets. Not wishing to bear alone the responsi- j bility of naming streets, the ma; or I asked the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce. This is of ourso an important matter. Everyone will be glad to have the streets na med, but not every one will agree ( that the names selcted are good ones ? Parking space is becoming a pro blem here as well as in larger plac es. After the first of June the bus es will not be allowed to park on the streets. Messers. Ashworth and , Silversteen have granted the use of ; their lot,' corner of Main & Caldwell . streets for parking purposes provid- 1 ed the town will clean it off. The dog ordinance must have been forgotten. MISS TROWBRIDGE CONSIDERS , PLAY FINE My dear Mrs. Norwood: 1 I am writincr to tell you that the . play comintr Saturday next to Bre- ] vard is unusually clever, sparkling ] and exceedingly well done, by the Weaver club. , I saw it last Friday nifjht and en I ? joyed it very much. I hope that the Betterment will have a good house ! and that you will assure your fri ends that they will enjoy the play very much. They ha,i a pood house here and cleared a (jood sum. With kindest rejrards, C aroline O. Trowbridge Mr. una Mrs. Lawience Holt and T. S. Wood made a business trip on Saturday to Asheville, CHAMBER<OF COMMERCE NOTESl Many visitors have been with us j the past few days. Among other. ? "umber interested in completing ifa S 1n|the r?ad ,rom Brevard ^Ve'? -Ashevilie ? to make a good auto road from Bre vard t? Aaheville, and a do, en or aw A ?rt6r than by Hor?e .and Henderaonville. The &?or? good roads the better " Many houses and apartment* have been listed with u? for rent Some rentals have been dosed' Look for a crowded season. Those who have houses or rooms for rent, list with the secretary. ' The highway from Brevard to Caesars Head and Greenvi?e is pro mised to be in good traveling con d It.on June. There are some pieces of heavy work that it will Uka some time to finish , but the contractors promise to have and keep the road in good traveling con dition after June 1st. A number of calls for State Road Maps have been received in the last ?ew days. More copies still 0n nand. Morc to come- from the State Highway Commission when the sup ply is exhausted. A number of new members this week. Still room for more, and etiU more who ought to be members The ManuiactUrers Record has some striking accounts and illustra ? is always interesting. The Southern Field covers a va riety of industries, section, etc As ? ?ume i'npI:es. lt '"vers the Southern Field. "Golf in Wonderland" is a very attractive booklet, put out by the Southern Railway. It i8 striking account of Golf in the mountains of Western North Carolina. More and varied booklets connec ted With the Forestry Service are on hand. ? r Booldeto, publications etc./ from Florida points, Mississippi Califor nia and many other places. The supply of reading matter grows bigger and better every day Many inquiries for board, cot> tages and rooms' are being received Many inquiries for real estate Some deals are being made, and some others are being lost, on acc ount of too sudden and too large boosts in prices. It is well for the property owner to get his moneys worth for his property. On the other hand, too many deals are kil led by exaggerated boosts in price. It looks like a crowded season for Brevard. There will be more and better roads. More bus lines. More accomodations. More amusements And, we are satisfied, more, better and larger crowds of tourists for the season. If you have any information for the secretary, phone 121.- If you want information, phone 121. The Board of Aldermen is enga ged in checking up the streets, str eet names, and making preparations for putting up the street signs. It is to be hoped that the numerous unnamed streets and alleys shall be given names tha< Brevard will be erlad to perpetuate. In the streets already named, we have England, Jordan, Morgan ' Cal dwell, Projjart, Gaston, Johnron' and Wh.tnr.ro and Rice, remembering old citizens in the early drva of thr town. Among other ol citize were: Hume, King, Erwir., Lar* i( ford, Allison, ?."?lson, Duckwo;-.'.! ' Bosse, ,and doubtless many others. ' It would also be appropriate to name some for waterfalls, streams, or other natural features. The on ly names of that kind we have at pre sent are French Broad Avenue. The old name of the road from main street toward Rosman was the Cashiers Valley Road. This whole section was part of the Cherokee Indian Boundary, and for a long period, the one highway thru the sect-on was known as the Chero kec Trail. ^ Would it be a good idea to name one of the streets Cherokee street? The old Indian names cou ld be used to advantage for any num ber of names. It should be easy for the Board of Aldermen to provide names eu phonious and agreeable to the ' ear, 'l and at the same time to perpetuate j j names, places and persons of real < historical interest to the town and county. IMPORTANT MEETING The Choral Society will hold an important business meeting Monday May 12th. at 4 p. m., at the Aethel wold. 7 his wilt be trie last meeting of the season, a full attendance is ur ge d. THE PRAYER CORNER "Our Bisen Lord's Appointments" "Lo I am with you always." Jesus makes appointments with us to meet us at times of prayer in church services, at the holy comnua ion, at some holy^ tryating place. Some times we do not think these appointments very important and are easily influenced to omit them. We never can know what we lose by these failures or neglects. Jesus Always comes where b* asks us to - meet him and gives bless ings there to those who have been faithful in gathering to wait for him We do not know what we may misA by staying away from any appoint ment with our Master. The Risen Lord's promise to hi* disiciplea when he sent them forth is one of great comfort, "Lo I ui with you alwayB even unto, jthe end of the world." If Jesus had given, his commission without adding hia promise, his disciples might well have shrunk from going forth to the work to which he assigned them but having his promise they could not hesitate. This assurance was not for the first disciples only, he says to us al so, "I am with you always." In what sense is Christ with us always? It is not merely as our departed fr iends are with us in the sweet mem ories of their lives. It is a real and personal presence. He is present with us as he was with Mary and Martha when he came to them that, day after their brother had died^ He is present with each one of usr not only on the bright days but on the dark days. Let us believe in the Actual .Presence of Christ with, us and then let us act as if we belie ved that he is with us. This is the Secret of Christain Power and Chria. tain Peace. A Prayer O thou risen Christ, our blessed Lord and Muter, we think thee foe thy precious promise, "La I am with you alwayB" May we never neglect or omit .thy appointment whether it be at times of prayer, at chut-clfc service, at the holy communion or at some holy trysting place. We can never know what we lose by our failure or neglect. We believe that th oudost always come to the meet ing place and givest blessings to: those who have been faithful in ga thering to wait for thee. May never stay away from any appoint ment with thee our Master. We know and believe that thoa. art with us always, not merely as our departed human friends are with> us, in the sweet memories of their* lives, but as a real and personal pr esence. Thou art present with ua. as thou wert with Mary and Martha^ when thou earnest to them that day after their brother had died. Thon art present with us not only on the bright days but on the dark ones. Oh help us, thou mercififul and' gracious One to believe in thy actual presence with us and then let us act as if we believed it for it is the pre cious secret of Christain power and Christain peace." Amen.
