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

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.

READABLE ARTICLES
Sometimes we are criticized for
delaying the publishing of an article
There are many reasons for this
delay; Lack of spsce, no signature
and sometimes merely a camouflag_

the least by any means, articles
that are nearly impossible to even
be read by th# writer themselves.

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. If your neighbor
doesn't know of this service tell her.
Let's all clean up and KEEP CLEAN
We have an excellent health or_
diiwmce. It can and will be enfor
ced if you do yowr duty.

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.
