POLITICS RUINED
COUNTY, CHURCH,
SAYS NEWS WRITER
East Fork Correspondent Sug
gests Mixed Ticket as Solu
tion of the Matter
WISHES POLITICS MIGHT
BE THROWN OVERBOARD
Strong Article By Leading Wo
man Contains Appeal to
County's Manhood
(fast Fork Cor.'spondence)
The everlasting candidates! Don't j
they make you sick? All ready the i
mails are being flooded with letters
f r o m would-be nominees, begging
folks to support them, just like we
didn't have all we can or ever could
do to support ourselves.
Honestly, we believe politics are
the ruination of our county and
churches. Politics have such hold
on the majority of the folks and
elections coming so closely to each
other ? there's no breathing space
left. Politics make neighbors fall
out, church members disagree. Why
some of our folks just won't pay any
thing towards the support of the
church. Stewards and deacons of
churches won't speak decently to each,
other just because they don't vote
alike. Sunday School students quit
Sunday School and church members
quit going to church because the
preacher or Sunday School superin
tendent doesn't vote like they do or
Superintendents and teachers resign
because all their Sunday teachers and
pupils don't vote just like they do.
It's a shame, but it's just like that.
We wish both parties in this coun
ty would get together and throw poli
tics so far they'd never be heard of
again and pick our good, honest, sen
sible men from both political parties.
(Oh, yes, they have got them in both
parties.)
Put men from one party on for i
half the ticket, men from the other
party for the other half. The men
tunning could then stay at home and
tend their own business. Voters could
ifo to election and vote them in. It
would do away with all the threats,
mud slinging, raking up old scandals,
fighting, back biting, buying, selling, i
stealing, mean lowdown tricks, even m
:he much cussed and discussed ab- 1
sentee vote wouldn't be needed. We |'
wouldn't have to have watchers at the j '
Section to see that somebody else p
lidn't land somebody they'd bought. (1
Well, and while we're about it we |i

CHURCH LOSING US
APPEAL IN BREVARD
AS SURVEY REVEALS
Only One Out of Four Inhabi
tants Attend Sunday School,
Says the Report
EVEN SMALLER NUMBER
AT CHURCH SERVICE
One-Third of Church Members
Attend Church as an
Average
Brevard's standing as a church
going town is away down the percent
age column, according to a survey
recently made, which was thoroughly
discussed by Rev. Paul Hartsell, of i
the Brevard Baptist church, last Sun- J
day. The survey reveals that one ,
out of five people in the town attend :
Sunday School, while even a smaller !
number attend church services. The |
survey further reveals that only one I
out of three church members attend |
church services.
The town has a population of near- 1
Iy 2.400.
The Sunday schools of the town
have less than five hundred average
attendance.
.Church services are attended by an
average number of 450.
Wednesday night prayer meetings
of the town in all the churches have
a crmbined attendance of around 150.
T;ie survey shows that half the
population of the town "belongs" to
the churches, being enrolled as mem
bers. There are, according to the re- '
port, 1,250 church members in the I
town, and the average church attend
ance of 450 shows that only about
one-third of the church members at
tend poaching services.
Church leaders look upon this con
dition as being "deplorable," and the
Rev. Mr. Hartsell declared from the
pulpit that this indifference, this non
attendance of church services by such
a large number of citizens is having i
bad effect upon the rising generation,
and will prove to be a great handicap
upon the children of today when they
become the men and women of tomor
row.
"It is from this large number of
non-church goers that so much of our
lawlessness springs," Mr. Hartsell
declared. It is further charged that

BREVARD RATE TO BE
$1.25, INDICATED IN
BUDGET ESTIMATE
Despite Deficits of Past Year,
Board Brought Tax Rate
Down Eleven Cents
OPERATING EXPENSES
CUT TO VERY QUICK
Town Tax Rate Reduction Ad
ded to County's Reduction
Is Very Encouraging
I ^
Brevard'.s budget estimate, as pre
I pared by the clerk, H. H. Patton,
I provides for a town tax rate of $1.25
on the hundred dollars valuation, this
being a reduction of 11 cents from
the tax rate of last year. This esti
mate is arrived at after carefyi prun
ing of every possible operating ex
pense, yet with inclusion of deficits
in past years which had to be includ
ed in this year's budget. Town of
ficials assert that the rate could have
been reduced still more had it not
been for deficits in recent years.
Under practically every heading
this year's budget estimate is lower
than the amounts included in last
year's budgets, insofar as operating
expenses are concerned, showing that
the town authorities have pruned
every expenditure where it was pos
sible to do so. In the water depart
ment this year's budget estimate of
expenditure is 51,540.17 against $1,
609.29 last year. The sewer departs
ment's estimate for this year is $718.
15 as against $1,257.79 last year.
Streets and sidewalks are given an
estimated item this year of $2,932.37
as against $3,641.30 spent last year.
The police department is allowed $2.
380.00 this year as against $2,905.76
last year. Salaries for mayor and
town officials this year amounts to
$2,590 as against $3,201.95 last year.
The fire department is given $851 as
agaipst $1,090.60 last year. Lights,
this year, $4,906.31 as against $4,
907.07. (Of this amount in this year's
budget for lights, $1,697.77 is for
deficit of last year, but had to be in
cluded in this year's budget).
Reduction was also made in the
list of miscellaneous items. The total
general operating expenses included
in the budget estimate amounts to

ROAD WORK SOON TO
START ON BOilSTON
A state road working plant is be- ' -
ing moved from Cashiers to the Bay
nard place on Boylston this week,
announced Highway officials Wednes
day and it is expected that the plant
will be ready for operation by the
last of next week.
The completion and paving of the
Boylston road will make a muck
shorter route between Brevard and
Asheville and at the same time open
up one of the richest sections of
Transylvania County.
Prisoners from Henderson and
Buncombe counties will work the
road, officials said and they will be
stationed at the Prison camp in Hen
] dersonville.
There is road and bridge construc
i tion being carried on in most all di
jrections leading in and out of Ros
'man.
! The South Carolina crew as well
'as North Carolina crew are vorkin?
! on Picken's Highway which has al
ways been considered a good moun
i tain road. When this work is finiah
; ed this will not be one of the best
highways in this section but one of
'the most beautiful. ^
Only 170 Men and Women In Bre
Territory Are Now Available For
According to a Chamber of Com
merce census taken by Donald Lee
Moore to survey the unemployment
situation, there are only 170 men
and women within a five mile radius
of Brevard who are out of work and !
desire immediate employment Upon |
these 170 men and women there is an j
average of three dependents to each
one.
Brevard and vicinity was divided i
into five districts for the census.
When the census was completed after
an eight-day survey it was found
that Brevard had 115 unemployed
men and women; Pisgah Forest, 18;
jSelica and vicinity, 20; Greenville
! highway section, 9; and Davidson
River 8. Every home within a five |
mile radius of Brevard was visited (
in order to make the census com
plete.
There are approximately 3500 peo- !
pie living within the five mile radius,
nearly one-half of this number are
school children, ot children of school
age. Omitting the persons unable
to work, it is estimated that there is
a working population of one thous
and. Upon this basis practically fire
per cent of the population is out of
employment.
Mr. Moore found that in the ma
jority of the homes, conditions were
favorable and the people spoke cheer
fully of better times ahead and they
were not downcast because of the
present depression. Comparatively
few persons or families are really in
need of food and clothing. A11 in all,
conditions are apparently better than
they were this time last year.
Though not completely out of em
ployment, there are many workers
employed on part time positions in
Transylvania Tanning Co. and Carr
Lumber Co., who get some work eack
week. They speak cheerfully of pro
curing full time positions some time
during the winter. Though the Pisgak
cotton mill is not in operation at j
present, the workers are expecting it
to resume operations in the near fu
ture.
Mr. Moore found that within the
five mile radius there are many me*
and women out of employment wke
do not desire io - work. Many are
simply waiting for a big position, an4
a small job, that might be arranged
for them, is not at all attractive
Fortunately, the majority of thia
'group do not have any dependents ta
suffer because of their false pride and
voluntary inertia.
Upon the basis that there are three ;
dependents for each man and womam
' in need of employment there are over
:500 people who will suffer this win
ter to s?me extent, unless conditions
! improve or business opens up to m
I crease employment.
