CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The new sign is in position, and 1 shows up well. No danger of any , difficulty in locating the ' Chamber i of Commerce now. Speak. ng of signs, how about the committe for naming all unnamed streets and alleys, getting ready for the job of marking the corners of all streets and alleys with appvopri- 1 ate street signs. That committe's , report should be in, and acted on at once. The new booklets are on hand. | Many have already been distributed ( and more at the office. They well illustrate "The Land of Watefalls" and are a credit to the booklet com mittee. A number of visitors have arrived' by auto from Florida and reports j good roads, and traveling easy and ? enjoyable. Wo are still working for the early establishment of one or more fish j hatcheries in the Pisgah National Forest. 4 Of course the Government's plans include fish hatcheries in the National Forests. But -the work now is to get those plans hurried up Enough to have the hatheries in op eration at an early date. Since the partial destruction of the hatcheries that formerly furnished young trout for this section, the supply has been inadequate, both for the National Forest and for the rest of the coun ty. The supply of available summer cottages is being rapidly filled. Bre vard visitors can easily use more than the presertt supply. The vari ous property owners are losing a g??od bet by not building more sum mer cottages. Brevurd has a lot of visitors on the streets. The hot weather has just, been with us for a few days, indications are that the whole sec tion will be crowded in a very few days. The golf subject is up once more. Some talk of a course being estab lished by outside .parties. 1 Jioad maps are much in demand. A fresh supply frbm Raleigh. The directors of the various] canvp schools are all on the job, get ting ready for opening. Looks like; a .heavy season for camp schools. The more, the merrier. Also, thire is already talk -of a couple of ad uitional camp schools for next sea son. -i ' IJhir register, during the past few tJaySy shows visitors from the Caro J^naaj^ Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabjuna, as well a sfrom a numher oi more distant .states.

Few .seem to remember thai the route uwer Pisgah to Ashevilie is hardly so far as tite regular .mate usually taken. As. the hotels ;and boarding .bou ses fill up, it beoemes more and more important to keep the secretary imformed as to fke available 'space For a visitor <o come in and call on one house after another, only to find that thr place is ccvwded, a?verti*es the fact that the town is full of visi tors, bnt does not add to the com. fort of thi ' visitor.

CLEAN *P DAY EVEKT DAY Once mare the Betterment has | endeavored to clean wp tht 'town. While tins association is glad to help in this good work, it ifeould not be necessary. Tfce town .should be kept clean, especially in .the summer There are too many bahlss in Bre vard to allow filth to accumulate and flies to (breed. ' Burn everthing which can be bur ned. All refuse must be dumped somewhere, until w? can 2tf|ord to have an incinerator. It isn't as harmful when out in the o^en, far frofh- human habitation, but it is .still dangeroac. * The town authorities are willing to do their part. Phone the May?r or the street superintendent on Wednesday and Saturday and a truck will call for trash and haul it away at no expense to you. This is not a new service and is not for summer alone.

THE DETOUR? ROAD MEN , PLEASE PAY ATTENTION The people are now required to detour from Brevard to Selica, by way of the Island Ford Road. This ; detour shjfeifd be kept in good con dition," the people are entitled- to a ' good road and will requirif a good road, our own people and the many strangers in the country. The man whose business it is to j keep this road in repair is expected to do his duty. The road should be inspected by him several times each week. He should not wait to hear the complaints of the' public. The most of this road is now rough enough to suit an Indian.
