BROADCAST PROGRAM
FOR TOWN AND COUNTY
Great Crowd Hears Officials
Tell of Operation of
Radio Station
Brevard Kiwanians enjoyed the
jgratest meeting in the history of the
[club last Thursday noon, when G.
O. Sheppard and Clyde Smith, man
ager and assistant manager of Sta
tion VV VV N C, The Asheville
Citizen's broadcasting station, were
guetss of honor at the meeting. Be
[irinning promptly at 12 o'clock, as
jthe members and guests were seated
'about the table, a special Brevard
j program was broadcast over W W
N C, in which the beauties of this
community, its natural advantages,
its agricultural progress and manu
facturing possibilities were given in
detail. After this tribute to the
community, a special musical pro
gram was given in Brevard's honor,
lasting until 12:30, when Messrs
Sheppard and Smith began their
splendid addresses.
The speakers gave the Brevard
men some idea of how a broadcasting
station is operated, its obstacles and
its achievements. Mr. Sheppard urg
ed the citizens to make suggestions
to the station, asserting that the
only way the officials there could
determine just the kind of programs
that pleased the people or was not
so good, was for the people to let
their impressions be known to the
station.
j Mr. Smith told of the commercial'
[side of the proposition, saying that
I no magic wand was moved across the
I station and enabled the operators to
'provide a continuous service from 8
o'clock in the morning until 12
i o'clock midnight. It takes money,
land lots of it. There are but few
jways in which the company can
.raise money: Through advertising
tover the radio, just like newspaper
advertising, and through the mem
Ibership in the radio club, just like
the subscription list is to the news
paper.
The visit of the two gentlemen to
Brevard meant much to this com
j munity, and all citizens who had the
i pleasure of meeting with them and
I hearing them expressed great delight.
! Win. E. Breese introduced the speak
ers, and thanked the radio officials
for the Kiwanis club and for the
town and county for selecting a Bre
vard man to broadcast the Sunday
School lessons every Saturday eve
ning over W W N C.
A Majestic radio was installed
in the dining room for the occasion.
This was done by Houston Furni
ture company, local Majestic agents.

Resting in Jail i
Joe Shadrick, Jess Shadrick, Jini
Shadrick and Bud Pressley were Riv
en preliminary hearing in Mayor
Whitmire's court"" Tuesday morning,
on two warrants charging- assult and
assult with intent to kill. The three
Shadricks were bound over to Su
perior court, while Bud Pressley was
not connected in the evidence with
the ease.
Evidence showed that the Shad
rick boys, and another man went to
the home of Alonzo Holden Satur
day-night, where the latter was given
a severe beating. Mrs. Holden testi
fied that she was at h.;r son's house
next door, when she heard the rack- j
et, and ran into her own home. There j
she found, she swore ,o?ie of the
Shadricks ac one door, and another:
Shadrick at the other door, while two
men :n the room were beating her
husband. She was not allowed to en
ter, =he said, the Shadricks on the
door- threatening her if she at
tempted to enter the house. She
swore that one of the Shadricks
knocked her daughter down when
the (laughter made effort to go cc
her' father's rescue.
After leaving the Holden home,
the Shadricks, it was testified, au ;
anothi -ian not indentified, rushed
past tl barber shop nearby, where
several men had rushed out when
they heard the screaming in the
Holden home. The Shadricks, it was I
testified, knocked these men down i
as they came to them. In the crowd ,
was Looney Owen, who turned the ,
Shadrick trick on themselves, it was,
testified, and laid one of the Shad- j
rick boys out.
Several heads all wrapped up
were about the court house, mute
evidence of the terrific forc<? of what
is commonly called on the street"
"The Shadrick Rebellion." Arrests
were made by Sheriff T. K. Patton.
Jr., Deputy Tom Wood and Chief of
Police Freeman, who were called to
the scene and made the arrests.
Their case will come up next Mon
day or Tuesday, it is believed, Ralph
| R. " Fisher and Pat Kimzey appeared
for the boys and will defend them
in the higher court.
