THURSDAY, MAY 31,. 1928 MAKE PROVISIONS FOR FAITFUL SERVANTS. Transylvania county's m-xt legis lative member and senator are here with respectfully urgtd to give thought to a measure that would not ?nly be most beneficial to the state, but ought to be in operation simply as a matter of common justice. There has never been any provis ions in our state laws for caring for those who give their lives to the ser vice of the state. We're thinking right now of the teachers and cm ployes in our schools and state in stitutions. Each year now, as various boards of state institutions and county ?chools meet, they must wrestle with the problem of dropping teachers and other employes who are no longer able to carry on the work as signed them. Some such teachers and employes have been in the ser vice of the state for 26 to 35 years, and as old age has come upon them, xhey no longer are able to do the work. Then it comes that, although these people are nearing the end of the journey, they must be kicked off like an old pair of shoes, and there is ne ?way in which the authoriites can re ward them for their long, unbroker service to the state.* It is wrong, it is inhuman, it it unjust, to so treat people' who have been loyal and faithful throughou these years, to be discarded like ai old mule who is no longer able te pull the plow. Let the state of North Carolini make provisions for retiring people who have spent their lives in faith fol service to the state, and it ought to be done in the next session of the legislature. MIRACLES PERFORMED NOW, AS IN THE PAST. In this age of invention and dis covery, people accept as common pface things that, taken one at ? time, would cause the state and na tion to stop and wonder at the big ness of the one thing and the far xeaching power and influence of its achievement. To sail in the air, ten 'thousand feet above the earth, is a miraculous performance. To sit in one's home, and listen to music that is -grafted over air waves for hun dreds and even thousands of miles, ie one of the marvels in the history of mankind. Big as these things are, the state ?f" Morth Carolina, in one of its in stitutions that attracts but little a tention, is performing daily and reg ilarly a feat that is . 3 wonderful as any of the more spectacular or dar ing deeds ever witnessed in the world of science. We submit that teaching a deaf ns and two daughters, Wallace I Foster of Brevard, Joseph and La 'tisha Foster of Ilendersonville, an!' tile Houston Furniture company, ?were named as members of the board t:> succeed l)r. Sumnioy and Walter i . ? i .hie, who have left tho. town. Reports W'-re made by oonuuittoos ha v in;: in charge certain work to do in behalf of the town. Report w;i. , made that the committee on "Bre vard Day," which is to he observed W diir sdu.v, June. tf, that final ar rangement's will bo completed Friday ::t Asheville. As next Monday is the time when, the county commissioners make up ; tlr.'ir budget for the coming year's work, a- committee was named to Jiii-fte the county to continue its sup . i"t. i't of the municipal band. | Many other important matters 1 ,\v(.*iv acted upon, reports of which [will be made at the proper time (HANGESMADE IN THE CSTY SCHOOLS !i With the . naming of Superintend ent J. B. Jones as general superin ? j tendon t of the Brevard school, and i , the decision to have no principal of t,the Elementary school, has resulted -.in a saving of something like $1800 ? in the expense of conducting: the j schools in Brevard. ; Under the new arrangement s ^ l building principal has been named ijl'or each of the three schools from I i among the active teachers. Mr ?jllinton McLeod will have charge oi -I the high school building, with Miss ?jlzoree Reece presiding over tht "Igrammar school building, and Mr? ? IK. P. Sledge in charge of the pri > .mary, all under- the general superin ? .tendency of Prof. Jones. The principal of the elementar> t. school had been drawing a salary ol I ?21 00 n year. By naming a teaehei ? to have charge of each of the , I schools, and giving them a hundred ? .dollar increase a year for the addi , ! tional duties, there are net savings tc . the county of $1800. In addition to the financial saving, this new ar rangement, it is believed, will result , in much good, in that Prof. Jones ; who has thoroughly demonstrated his r . ability as a school man, will have I more time to 3evote to the manage jment of the school by having these [able assistants. SCOUT TROOP SPENDS WEEK AT CAMP ILLAHEE t (By One of the Scouts) 1 1 Girl Scouts of Laurel Troop I .j spent last week in Camp Illahee. i ' While we were there we enjoyed a , [few of the many sports which are llnffered by the camp. i Thursday night was visitors' night. 1 1 We were all expecting many visitors, l (but the rain made it so that many iwho planned to come could not. ! | Friday afternoon, Mrs. Hinton Mc , j Leod entertained the Scouts at five | [o'clock tea. Friday night Mr. R. W. 1 Everett came and showed us a pic ture of his hunting trip. The Scouts wish to thank all those who helped them to enjoy the camp ing trip. They especially wish to thank Messrs Robinson, Allison, Os b'-rne and Hawkins for the meat and ? fruit they gave us. Mr. Frank Duckworth came out leach afternoon and acted as life j?nver. Miss Bertie Ballard and 'Miss Elise Walker chaperoned the ; camping trip. | We are going to work hard next year so that we may have a camp of our own, and we nope that every jono will give us their support. .
