Silversteen, Transylvania county's largest employer of labor, predicted the coming of the 6-hour workday, and the 5-day work week, in an address delivered at the Ki wanis club meeting last Thursday. The speaker was talking on "Busi ness Ethics from a Manufacturer's Viewpoint," and delivered what was considered one of the best addresses ever heard in a Kiwanis cluF meet ing. Mr. Silversteen based his conclus ions upon the labor-saving machin-j' ery that is being added to industry ' all the time, and the greater pro duction possible under such mechan ical conditions. In order to divide the work among all the people, the speaker said, the shorter work weeks and the shorter days are bound to come. Unemployment is a terrific I situation for the workers, and also ] a big hindrance to business, Mr. Sil- j versteen proved. When men are not working, not drawing a pay check, then business suffers because of the inability of idle men to buy merchandise. The speaker's treatment of season al unemployment, forced idleness because of depression in business, and the human relationship in in dustry was a masterpiece, showing ! clearly Mr. Silversteen's serious i study of these important questions.

Walker, one of the besl loved men Brevard ever knew, died early last Friday morning, after a long illness that had drawn his host of friends closer and closer to him. He was 44 years of age and had been a resident of Brevard since 1919. Funeral services were held at the Episcopal church Monday morn ingn, and intertiient was in the cemetery of St. Paul's-in-the- Valley. The deacesed was born in Reids ville, his parents being the late John S. Walker and Mrs. Sarah J. Walk er.

John S., now seven years of ige, and Mary Jane, four years, all >f whom survive. In addition to ;hese, three brothers and two sisters survive. They are Misses Edith and Lor a, Messrs. Alfred, Irving and Sam Walker, all of Reidsville. The deceased was a man of mag :etic personality, a high sense of lonor, with a fine philosophy of lr'fe ir.d a sympathetic nature that simp y drew men to him, creating e.ver astin? bonds of friendship. Great hrongs of people calling at the : home of the deceased, attending the I funeral and burial services, and the banks of flowers placed on the grave, gave evidence of the high esteem in which he had been held in life and of the genuine sorrow caused by his death. I The Masonic order, of which the ! deceased was a loyal member for (many years, had charge of the body and laid it away with Masonic hon ors. The services were held at St. Philips Episcopal church, being con ducted by Rev. Harry Perry, assist ed by the Rev. Dr. C. D. Chapman, | Rev. John C. Seagle of Salisbury and j Rev. Wallace H.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY VERY SUCCESSFUL Under Direction of Miss Rus sell, Players Performed Their Parts Well SCHOOL AUDITORIUM WASl FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY j Specialties Between Acts Were Interesting ? Music By High School Orchestra With the seating capacity of the| large school auditorium filled to its ? j limit Friday night, "He's My Pal," ( I the three-act comedy-drama present ed by the senior class of the Brevard 1 High School, was generally pro- i nounced a decided success. The ; large audience in attendance showed . evidence of their enjoyment of the j play by enthusiastic applause and j frequent laughter in response to the , various impersonations enacted by j the performers. The cast of characters comprised j 12 members of the senior class, each I, one of whom was adjudged particu-l, larly well fitted to the character rep- j t resented, and all combining in the ( excellency of their performance, to j produce a well executed and highly j enjoyable play in three acts. , The unraveling of the plot of the r play i*evealt.d a touching bit of loyal friendship between Spencer j Macfie, as Waiiy Allen, and his pal, t Torn Mitchell, as. Roger Gail, both cf <t whom, it was brought out, were will-:,, ing to sacrifice the love of a girljj rather than prove disloyal to their ic mutual friendship. Eventually, how- j. ever, each was rewarded with the ; love of the girl cf his choice and at , j. the same time kept their friendship I L intact, Roger winning for his bride i v his lirst love, Mary Osborne Wi!k- L ins, as Lark Sumner, and Waily hap- . py in Lr.e acquisition of bis new I found :ove, Geraldine 3a rrett, as i ^ Mona Spark, the ugly duckling <rsn*-l formed into a charming young la.iy. The other characters in the p!ay>"e necessary to the successful working f out of the plot were: Joe Ciary, as'_ Tom Spark, a young carpenter;*? Elizabeth Duckworth, as Ma Averi'J, : the sweet friend and understanding 1 ^ pal of them all; Edgar Osborne, ks'? Caivin McCay ,a henpecked husband. ' and his wife and boss, Margaret it" Patton, as Mrs. Blossom McCay; Walter Shipraan, as Harry Booth, and Rowell Bossc, as Dick Smith, the _ two real estate salesmen; Sara Bar- , * rett, as Kitten Blake, a beauty spe-l cialist ; and Alberta Jenkins, as; Smudge', the cook. ' s: Each one of the performers enact- ' ed well his or her particular part ir. I the presentation of the piay in its i entirety, and added the proper in- " terpretation in the working out of. the plot to its final culmination !^ The audience apparently enjoyed es- ! *' pecially the clever enacting of the | ^ details involved in the transforms- j a tion of young Osborne from the role j of a henpecked husband to that of -j the proud boss of his household, and ? likewise the conversion of Margaret " Patton from the role of a command ing boss to that of a meek and sub- ^ missive wife. In addition to the cooperation and good work on the part of the per- c formers, much credit for the success of the pl?y is due the director, Miss j1 Dorothy Russell, and also Miss Elise W'annamaker, make-up aitist, Mar- ! garet Miller, property manager, and: Charles Morgan, stage manager. jJ Adding great pleasure to the eve- I _ ning's enjoyment also were the be-:* tween act performances, including: ? Lullaby Chorus by 25 little girls of ) the primary grades; quartet, "Car olina Moon" and "Where the Shy ( Little Violets Grew" by Elizabeth ? Mills, AzLee Justus, Mollie Snelson,jJ Jewel Justus; song and dance spe cialty by 12 little girls of the gram-! mar grades; and selections by the : high school orcehstra, accompanied J by Miss Marguerite Robertson. ' Ushers for the evening were : Ruth Snelson, Louise Hayes, Rowe Bur rell and Helen Allison. GREAT REVIVAL AT KING'S MOUNTAIN Rev. W. H. Hartsell returned Sat urday from Kings Mountain where he conducted a two weeks' revival meeting at the First Baptist church, of that city. The meeting was generally pro nounced a great success, and it is said that the largest crowds ever at tending any similar meetings in that city were in attendance at this spe cial series of meetings, with even standing room at a premium on many nights. There were 27 acces sions to the church as result of the services, several being upon pro fession of faith and some by letter. A special feature of the meetings was the presence' on Wednesday night of the orchestra of the Bre vard Baptist church, whose selections delighted the pastor of the church, Dr. C. J. Black, as well as the church membership, according to the many expressions of commendation heard from the Kings Mountain people. Attesting to the popularity and efficiency of the Brevard pastor, Mr. Hartsell has been asked to return next year and conduct another meet ing at the Kings Mountain church, which, if accepted, will be the third consecutive year that he has held a v. v val meeting at that church.
