People of this community are being informed of the greatness of the Sc-'iut Movement during the present week. Both the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts are observing National Scout Week, and it is believed the local- troops are staging as fine program as that given in any other town or city in the United States. The Scout Movement teaches ev erything that is high and noble. Kindness, courtesy, usefulness, clean thoughts and worthy deeds, consti tute the teaching of the Scout. To despite the lew and mean, and to discourage1 selfishness in one's self and companions, are results that some from Scout teaching and train ins I.vaders in the Scout Movement who give of their time and labor m teaching the boys and girls the high ?ideals embraced in Scouting, are to I*. commended by the community, fur there is no way of measuring or gauging the far-reaching effects and nfluencis of this work. 4' Brevard .News is happy in be ing uM'd this week as the means for further spreading the gospel of the Sout Movement. Because of the man', columns of reading matter de void to the Scouts it is necessary that )ther n^-Ws be omitted, and we are ?onfident that our readers will be more than willing to forego reg ular news that all may learn more about the Scout Movement ? an in fluenoe that means much to the youth of the community, and in forming character for the men and women of tomorrow. HATS OFF TO THE - WOMEN OF THE TOWN! Tiiis c mniunity is indebted to the Business and Professional Wo man's Club of Brevard for many fine things that organization does for the u.wn. This week's activities of the club, however, eclipse anything else tvvv ?t tempted by that organization. 'I'-,- Business and Professional Women are sponsoring Scout Week, . and h rough their efforts the com tnuniiy is making acquaintance with i hi;- .vrcat work. Many members of she club are working hard for the success of the event, and much real labor and lots of time have been de the program. OnranKations of women always accomplish much in their activities, whether it be purely social, literary, musical, political, religious or of mu tual helpfulness t - the membership. The Business alid Professional Wo rex ? Club, while a comparatively new >r}ianization; ; s already made a 'jfeee for itself in he- communities where such clubs aiv formed. Being mad*' up of women who make their wax a: the- business and professional world, there is a self-reliance and a spirit of determination found in. tin so clubs that make the Business and Professional Women's organiza tion a forceful influence in the com *n unity, HatS' off to this club for sponsor ing the Scout Movement, for it is a work worth while! Nearest, of all the proposed plans to c?pe with what an increasing number of families are finding to be their problem, the growing girl. The Girl Scout movement fulfills all thv.~t- requirements. It is. sane, healthv and normal. It teaches honesty, purity, vigor and love of country.- And it takes the girl in her 'teens and gives her a live inter est in the present instead of the fu ture. It should have nation-wide support. ? Mary Roberts Rhinehart. ^ It is upoiji the general principle of taking advantage of the natural im pulses and inclinations of the^ young to guide them in the direction of educational achievement and stand ards >f conduct that the success of this admirable movement is due. And this success is so manifest and so immediate that all who understand it would like to see every young girl and every lad in the uniform of the Scouts."? :Rear Admiral W. S. Sims, IV S X.

We see in mineral crystals the continued struggle for perfection as we see it in everyday life." * '? "V"- ? PRAISES THE HOSPITAL . . '* As an indication of the high es teem of the Transylvania Hospital held by the camp directors of tiiia county, the following letter has been received from Miss Carol Purs? Oppenheimer, director ' of 'Eagres Nest Camp: "The Brevard News: "I understand that a movement is.l . on foot to try to interest a stul j larger number of Transylvania ciUr J zens in the excellent little Transyi- j1 vania Hospital, and I ask the privu- r ege of saying a word in strong favor', of such support. , " - '.fl "When we were seeking a perma- i nent location for Eagle's Nest Camp two years ago, one of the important, factors in our decision to come .(ft TransyiVnia county was the fact that you maintained such a modern institution for caring for the sick. We have been fortunate enough not I to require its services so far, except, on one slight occasion, but it is a | great comfort to the management [and a drawing* card to parents to know that competent services and ! ndequate equipment are available , right at home if they should be need- : ed." > . . . _ 1 "I believe every citizen of Tran (sylvania county ? all year round citizens and summer citizens alike? 1 should giva. Transylvania Hospital j I liberal support for his or her own | 1 protection and the protection ef . those for whom we are responsible, and I will appreciate your letting me i know if there is anything I can do, at any time, to back up this belief. "Yours for the strongest coopera j ion in all matters of health. "Sincerely, "Carol Purse Oppenheimer, "Director Eagle's Nest Camp for I I ? Girls." [^20 E. 40th "St., Savannah, Ga. PUBLISHER AND CAMP OWNER PRAISES ASSOCIATION ? The following letter from Geo. Morris, vice president of The Mem phis Commercial Appeal, and owner iof Camp Chikasaw, is an outstanding attribute to the efforts put forth by ithe Transylvania Hospital associa ' tion : . i ! ' ?Editor The Brevard News: ? "No better service could be ren dered the community than that in which the Hospital Association is engaged in the interest of Transyl vania Hospital. While the camps j. eldom have occasion to use the_ hos pital it is, never-the-less, a satisfac tion to have a good hospital conven ient in the event of accident or emergency. "Brevard is an unusually progres sive town. Its citizenship is of the i highest type. I am sure the people ; ? of Brevard and Transylvania county ' will give the Hospital Association loyal support in maintaining the in stitution at its present high stand ard of efficiency. '?The hospital is not only a good! ; thing for the community throughout 'the year, but there are many timid 'souls who like to be convenient to ( good doctors and good hospital fa cilities, even when '< hey are taking I i their summer outing. This latter ) fact should be impressed upon every person who profits from the summer trade. ' "Yours very truly, "GEO. MORRIS." j Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 5, 1929. Imrs. walker believes IN SCOUT MOVEMENT! ' ? i I (MRS. HUGH WALKER, Pres. j Brevard B & P Women's Club) ' | I am a firm believer in both Girl j I and Boy Scouts. It is one of the ; i finest, biggest movements cf the day. j II only wish I could have had the; j opportunity of Scouting when I was j 'young; therefore, I will do all toj help it now. This organization is ; ? training the future citizens. ! MRS. BREESE PRAISES THE GIRL SCOUTS HERE i | (R. W. BRESSE; j 1 The Girl Scouts of America is a ; national organization of which we j may justly be proud. Its object is the general welfare of girls, giving them through wholesome pleasure those habits of mind and body which will make them useful, responsible women, ready and willing to take a definite part in the home, civic, and rational affairs of the country. "I plead with my fellow citizens, ' men and women to enroll themselves i as practical friends of this demo- 1 | cratic and non-sectarian movement,! I to bring out and set going, in the ' I high plane of morality and service ! 'our beautiful and masterful Ameri- ! I can girl." ? Mrs. Julio Rosenwald, : V'ice President Girl Sccuts. SCOUTS LEARN VALUABLE j LESSONS ON LIVING,1 (EMMA DE AVERY ! Scouting is very helpful ..o both ; !boys and girls. A Scout is kind to, [animals, and knows a great deal; about nature. Girl Scouts learn to cook and be j helpful at home. And how to ad- 1 minister first aid. In the line of' athletics, nearly every Scout can swim and take part in some land or water sport. By reading the scout laws, an out ( sider would learn the principles of ; Scouting. "A girl Scout's honor is to be trusted." A true Scout would al ways tell the truth nor would she cheat or act unfairly about 'any thing. . ?i w "A Girl Scout is Loyal," once a Girl Scout states a fact she sticks to it just as she sticks to her town and country. "A Girl Scout's duty is to be use ful to others." At home a Scout helps her mother and makes herself useful to everyone. She uses funds wisely and lets nothing unclean soil her mind or Hps. Every phase of Scouting is good for both boys and girls. SCOUTING AND CHARACTER BUILDING (J. 0. BARRETT) ( Train the mind to revere Nature, promote helpfulness and abhor de 3tructiveness, and the foundation for character, bi& .and broad in its use fulness, has been laid in a most sub stantial manner for the boy or girl, [n this form of training for the boy and girl, there is no method, system, Dr course, that exceljs the principles so effectively and forcefully and even lastingly imparted to those young Americans permitted to claim membership in this great organiza tion, to which they have pledged a clean life, a^nohle effort and an honest intention to attain the upper-' most pinnacle in its heights of truth, honesty and service. j A study of the boy life of crim inals and prisoners will reveal that less than 5 per cent of them were Scouts in their boy days. The same resuiw would be obtained, should the young women of the nation who are wandering around the dusky shades of nightfall, in wayward places, be interviewed. As the father of seven boys and two girls, a former Scoutmaster, Sunday School teacher and worker with boys, I assert without fear of criticism from those acquainted with the Scout Movement, that nothing could be of greater aid to their mother and myself, in our effort to develop them into useful men and noble women, than would be the training and the impartation of prin ciple as it is brought into play with duty, honor, truthfulness, l?yalty and service in the creation of Scout character. Not alone is Scouting an advan tage to the development of charac ter it is also invaluable as _ an asset to 'the development of mind and body. The Scout program takes its members deep into the mystical shrine of Nature where plant life becomes shelter, food and carpet for the animals that defy civiliza tion. It takes them down by still waters, across the rippling streams to the point where the climb begins that leads by the big cliffs, the deep ravines- and on to the highest peak that lifts its head above the world. The birds, the fruits and berries, they too, combine to reveal to the Boy Scout and the Girl Scout that the Great Out Doors is but a nursery for the things of God. The first letter of these -three great words ? Great Out Doors ? tells within themselves, their association to the name they spell. ?The sun, the moon and the stars, each tell their own story. Many a young life has been inspired and the blaze of ambition . lit within the breast of a boy as he stretched him self out on his blankets, recalled the events of the day that had just ended with constructive stories around the bonfire, as he relaxed and inhaled deeply the breath of the forest, opening his eyes, tne low swinging stars darting ana blinking and shimmering in their brightness, to tell him in truth and reality of the genuine beauty ot Nature and the part it is to play in the life of man. No movement can possibly merit, according to its worth to the boy hood and girlhood of the land, the support of adult America, than does that of Scouting. . . MISS BALLARD BELIEVES SCOUTING BIG INFLUENCE (MISS BERTIE BALLARD) I think Scouting is by far the greatest movement of today in train ing girls and boys for effective and happy leadership. , All activities of Scouting center iround home, health and citizenship, therefore developing the boys and Jv'.s mentally, morally, physically '<? ^ Spiritually, creating a desire to ^-greater service. to God, our *our*ry en-* our fellovrae-n. is Scouting worthwhile? vv hv*n ? , . a'-jj . Wo i lien's club and Kiwanis club decide to sponsor the movement in Brevard chey proved their sound judgment in a good investment, rendering a great and constructive service."

The garage was a double-buildings with servants' quarteiwt and was built in keeping with the fine archf: tecture of the Silversteen home, which is pronounced the most beau tiful in Transylvania county. There were two fir^s, the first oc curring late Monday afternoon, pre-! sumably from a short circuit, .By' fine work the Brevard Fire Depart- j ment conquered the flames, saving^ a portion of the garage building and i preventing its spread to the C6stly home of Mr. Silversteen. Late that! night another blaze broke .forth; trom tae ambers oZ the carlv lire, [ and almost totally destroyed the garage btfflding. The fire caused big loss to Mr. Silversteen, over and above the small amount of insurance carried on the building, it being said that the quar ters the Silversteens had arranged for their servants being equal to a real home. Wednesday afternoon Chief Brom field received a check for twenty-five dollars from Mr. Silversteen, along with an effusive letter of praise for the work of the local firemen. The check, according to instructions from the donor, was to be used in any way the fire department saw fit, and Chief Bromfield expressed the opinion that it would be used to de fray the expense of a banquet for the members of the department.
