YOUR HOME TOWN
MERCHANTS ARE
DOING THEIR BIT
Elsewhere in this issue of The
News there is printed a list of prac
tically all the business houses of Bre
vard, showing to the citziens that
practically all their wants and needs
can be obtained right here at home,
from people who have the interest
of THIS community at heart. Bre
vard business people are proving this
interest by reason of the fact that,
though adversities have been many in
the past few years, they have "stuck
to it," by boosting and fighting all
the while for Brevard and Transyl
vania against odds that have chal
lenged the best of us.
The average person sometimes
loses sight of the fact that it is the
home town merchant and business
man furnishing the bulk of the taxes
for the upkeep of the county govern
ment, for the maintenance of our
school system, and last but by no
means least, contribute a large part
of the money that is expended in Bre
vard in support of the churches.
Loyalty to home town business is
not all that we are wOnt to be re
minded of, however, for upon looking
through the list of the Brevard busi
ness houses as published in this paj>
er, one sees that there is no need of
going away from Brevard for needed
supplies in the average home or on
the average farm. AND, Brevard
business houses are selling their
wares at prices that will compete
with the' markets in any of the larger
cities. This fact has been proven in
hundreds of instances by people of
the community.
Then, there is the feeling of friend
liness, of genuine interest that the
Brevard business people have in YOU
and YOUR affairs that the out-of
town business place cannot possibly
have.
Of course, the business place'away
from your community is glad, indeed,
to see you come in and buy, spend
your money, help them in their busi
ness, assist them in paying their
taxes, in supporting their schools and
churches. Naturally, the out-of-towner
is interested to a certain extent in
seeing you prosper, in seeing you in
good health and happy ? BUT the
home town merchant is really, honest
ly, with a feeling of kinship that is
bred in the associations with you and
your family before' you, and in the
family that will come after you ? in
terested with an interest that reaches
beyond the door of his place of busi
ness when you go out after making
your purchase; interested deeply in
your affairs, whether you come to his
place of business to make a purchase
or whether you come to him for ad
vice and counsel, or whether you come
to him for a donation to some worthy
cause in which you are interested.
To your home town merchant you
go when you are in need of credit,
when the adversities of life have all
but got you down. When the wife
has been ill, when you have been out
of work, when, it seems, that unless'
you arc helped over your own private
?depression" that poverty and hunger
will overcome your efforts. Then it
is that Mr. Average Citizen goes to
his home town business man, and then
it is that the REAL spirit of friend
liness, the REAL interest of the home
town business man is shown. He
alone it is who knows intimately your
i struggles and your problems, and he
it is whose interested in your welfare
is manifested in concrete form.
As your home town business grows,
so grows your community. No com
munity is larger or better than the
representative business houses of the
community center. No community can
prosper when the people of that par
ticular community are giving tho
tradespeople of another community
. the financial support that rightfully !
belongs at home.
Community pride is not selfishness;
home town loyalty is not clannishness
?community progress is builded upon
v pride and loyalty. On these two words
lies the future of Brevard and Tran- ;
sylvania. Upon the support given by ,
the citizens to our community center |
hinges the advancement or the deter- j
ioration of the whole county. Every j
dollar that is spent away from home ;
is a dollar tkat might as well be kiss- !
ed good-bye insofar as this eommun
ity is concerned, while out of every
dollar spent in Brevard there is a
per cent that goes to help educate
your children, a per cent that goeS/to
keep our tax rate down, a per cent
that goes to help maintain our
churches, a per cent that goes to help
our needy. Are you interested in
these things? Are your sympathies
and you* sense of loyalty with the
people of your county? Do you want
this community to grow into a larger
and better, place for all of us? Or,
are you interested in seeing the world
at large grow, prosper, become pom
pous and well-fed while1 our commun
ity dwindles into a mere has-been .
And remeber just as good commod
ities, at as low prices, and with much
better service, can be had from the
business man who knows your needs,
your wants, your ups and your down,
your wants, you*. ups and y
downs, as can be found anywhere.
u'ICKES WAHBOLDT SAYS A 0
SORE IS CURED BY SIMPLY
' COVERING IT OVER
i Wickes Wamboldt, member ol Ashe,
' ville's city ^uncil newspaper
columnist and public speaker says m
last Sunday's syndicated article that
! "no sore is ever cured^by covenng
it over w"h a powder, that
, poison must be removed before , a per
manent cure can be effected. The ar
; tide had indirect reffrertce to coo
i ditions in Asheville, where a
1 jury was called to invest.gate charge,
made by the Asheville writer tha
"judges and juries are fought
sold like sacks of flour."
| Mr Wamboldt is right in his as
sertion that simply covering over .
sore will not heal it. The poison .and
pus must be removed. But isn t the
I just about as much danger m con
stantly picking at a sore as there ^
in covering it up? It is one thing fo>
a physician, who knows what he i.
doing, to probe for the unwholesome
matter, but it is different when ?
blacksmith turns physician and be
gins to dig-into a sore spot. There 1.
every probability that the sore wil
heal, if left alone, much more readilj
than would be the case if uninformec
and inexperienced men kept everlast
ingly picking at the sore.
Asheville lp. suffered sorely be
because of the sores, and all of est
ern North Carolina has felt the et
fects of the suffering, and suffere<
with Asheville. There can be no re
sumption of good feelings and gooj
business until these sores are healed
or begin to heal. The losses that havi
been incurred cannot, as we see it
be retrieved. They are gone. Whethei
it is better to "powder" the past, an<
go on, or keep digging into the sore
making it sorer all the time, we <
not profess to know. Of one thing
however, we are certain. The probm*
should be done by people who knov
how to probe, with the one object 11
mind of healing the sore. And al
blacksmiths at the job of probin*
should keep their awkward finger:
out of the probing business, for theii
work can result only in making th<
sore still sorer and inflaming ua
ther the already inflamed sore spot
OCT ODER IS GONE, AND
WITH IT GOES THE END
OF THE LONG DEPRESSION
Leaders everywhere seem to thin!
that the end of the depression has
been reached, and the long, slow jour
ney back up the hill has now reallj
begun. Newspapers from every sec
tion of the land te.ll.of resumed activi
ties in industry, while prices for farm
products are on the upgrade. Presi
dent Green, of the American Federa
tion of Labor, gives encouraging re
port of large numbers of men' being
placed back at work, while the Unit
ed States Department of Labor gives
information that causes genuine hope
that the period of unemployment has
seen its worst day.
From the local viewpoint it is be
lieved that business in Brevard will
show decided increase in November
and December over these months of
1930. With the Carr Lumber com
pany resuming operations both in the
woods and at the mills, and other
industries showing some improvement,
coupled with the large number of men
employed by the state on the roads
of the county, payrolls are increased.
Prices on farm products are gradual
ly increasing, and this means that
the bounteous crops gathered here
this Fall will bring money into the
pockets of the farmers.
Brevard should, however, discour
age any further building in both
business and residential properties
until all such buildings now standing
idle are occupied. The same is true
of new business enterprises. There
is nothing to be gained in the com
munity's business life by adding new
lines until such time as business here
justifies operation of business places
already established. The merchants
now in business may expect somewhat ;
better business than was experienced 1
last year. i

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT
IS DUE TO BE GIVEN
| In making' remittance for her sub
scription renewal to The Brevard
News, one of the fine women pi the
town paid us great compliment on
the kind of family newspaper we are
making. Of course we w efe delighted 1
with the kind expressions, but in fair- .
nese to all concerned we must say to
this good friend that the editor of The
Brevard News is not alone responsible
for get-up and make-up of the paper,
j We would have all people who pay
Compliments to The Brevard News to j
know that much of the credit is due
i to Charles M. Douglas, Henry Hen
derson, Clifford Monteith, Mark Tay
lor Orr and Carl Frady. Day in and j
day out, with a loyalty unsurpassed, j
these men work for The Brevard I
News, giving every ounce of their j
, energy and all of their devotion to ,
| the task of making this newspaper I
such a county journal as will always 1
| be welcomed into the homes of the .
good people of the county.
In addition to these above named,
| there are county correspondents, from j
| Oakland to Blantyre, who are ever on
the alert in sending in such news as !
I will be interesting and instructive to |
the readers of the paper.
i Then there is Dr. C. D. Chapman, j
: God bless him, with "The Prayer
i Corner" each week, carrying comfort j
! and consolation to hundreds of people ;
j who look for this feature with eager- j
I I ness.
And a host of friends who go to
much trouble in calling us up or in
sending in news items to us, and
these good people deserve much credit
for the reputation borne by The Bre
' vard News as being one of the best
county, papers published in the state,
j So, while thanking our good friend
for her kind and flattering compli
ments, we 'ask that she include all of,
, these associates, without whom no one
could produce a real county paper
1 like our friends describe The Brevard
News as being.

FORGET-mp-NOTS WILL
j TELL A WONDERFUL STORY.
. j - Next Saturday the Parent-Teacher
association will direct the sales of for
get-me-nots. The money so derived
wil go to the relief of world war
veterans. It is a little thing ? this pur
j chase of a forget-me-not. But it tells
a wonderful story. Some few years
j ago, when young men were leaving by
the thousands for the training camp
' and the battlefield, no one thought
that Americans could ever forget the
[ sacrifices that were being made,
j ' Thousands upon thousands of those
fine young men who marched away
3 with shoulders erect and the fire of
. /youth in their fine eyes, are lying on
; hospital cots today, ' suffering slow
f death as result of their services to.
, this country and to the world.
I Have we forgotten'.' Will we wear
; the forget-me-not next Saturday? Is
3 there any man so forgetful that he
r would even hesitat^ in having placed
; upon the lapel of his coat that little
- emblem* of loyalty to tliose who were
. so loyal to us?
!
! THE FORGET-ME-NOT SPEAKS
By William Ellis Register
("Little pale blossom of tint sky blue,
: , Why are you worn today?
; Why is everyone buying you?
| What do you stand for, pray?"
- j "I stand for a cross in Flanders Field
. j And the Marne, and the Wood of
Belleau;
'I For the khaki line that would not
i i yield ?
I For the prayers from lips that
' Death has sealed-^
I stand for wounds that have not
healed,
And Hospital Beds in a row.
"I stand for horrors and wounds and
scars,
For bodies shattered and torn ;
For battlefields reeking beneath the
stars
With sacrifice to the War-God Mars;
For an end to the reign of Kings and
Czars ;
And for mothers and wives that
mourn.
I "For the mem'ry of warriors wracked
with pain,
, Mangled while facing the foe;

(They know NOW their sacrifice was
not in vain!)
In their Hospital Beds in a row!" 1

GIRL SCOUT NEWS ,
Tuesday afternoon, at a regular i
scout meeting, our captain, Mrs. Mc- [
Leod, honored us with her first visit. '
Of course, there were many important
topics to discuss, questions to settle !
and business to transact. After hav- ,
ing determined, by casting lots, which
patrol the new members would join, '
leader of Patrol Number 2. Then,
formation was called by Lib McCoy,
Mrs. McLeod delivered an interesting
and beneficial talk. For the benefit
of those absent from last meeting, she
cited our two-fold purpose for the
coming year: primarily, to banish
cheating from the high school and
secondarily, to render as much actual
community service as possible. Mrs.
;"Mac" stated that if it met our ap- .
proval we should re-establish the1
? point system. Expansive as scout laws '
are, they omit one important act ?
reverence to God and things pertain
ing to Him. Mrs. McLeod indicated
this fact to us in a forceful manner, !
which convinced us of the validity of ,
this statement. This instructive talk !
also included an interesting treatment
and discussion of the Scout Laws. j
? Jane Pearce.
Scouts, now that we have a new ;
and convenient meeting room, be sure ?
to come to meetings every single j
Tuesday. With a clean slate, we start ;
this year with a strong determination '
to make it the best year we have. ever j
had. Incidentally, don't forget to j
bring your 50c so that you may be
come a registered Scout.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL i
I With Miss Nancy Macfie as'
coach, the girls have begun practic- i
ing again this season.
Having had experience in this line !
of work, and being very interested in J
athletic activity for girls, Miss Mac-' I
fie is a very efficient leader. j
The girls are entering the sport
with lots of pep and enthusiasm.
Both forward? and guards are now :
beginning to regain their form; and ;:
the . scrimmages are becoming more:
interesting and exciting ? therefore, ':
we are certain that Brevard will have
a .vinning team for 1931-32.

CHAPEL FRO, GRAM
Last Thursday the students vero I
mtertained- by the first student pro- j
,rram of this year. To the chagrin ot' 1
he upper-classmen, th; program was
endered by the Freshmen girls' hom<< q
?oom. As the program consisted cf ?
eve'ral musical selections, the stud- *
:nts enjoyed it immensely. The two tJ
oloists as well as the other perform- Il
rs enacted their reives in a very o

ileted the program. It is hoped that
ubsequent chapel periods will con
ain more of this, delightful form of
tudent entertainment.
PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
As November 11th is Armistice
Day the first part of Tuesday's
hapel program was devoted to the
inging of patriotic songs in order
liat they might be sung in a manner
vorfchy of aiding the celebration of
his event. After announcements were
nade, Prof. Jones delivered an irter
istinft and instructive talk. Since the
:ontest of his speech dealt with the
ithical differences between high
;chool graduates and non-graduates,
;he subject was a fit one for deep
ronsideration and practical applica
tion.
SENIOR GIRLS' HOME ROOM
With practical application, wc
have found that our plan for enter
tainment in the home room period
has proved admirably successful. Not
anly have we had interesting pro
grams but; also ones of a varied na
ture and theme. We have discovered
where student talent lies and shall
now be able to cultivate it to the full
est extent. We have assumed oui
role with added enthusiasm, zest, ar.c
confidence with the assurance thai
subsequent periods will reveal "big
ger and better" programs.
SCHOLASTIC STARS
It is altogether fitting and propel
that special attention be given to th<
fact that again Mark Ball and San
dy McLeod made 5 "A's". In th<
second month, when reins are helt
more tightly and grading become
stricter, such an achievement is in
deed remarkable. To uphold Mark ani
Sandy as scholastics ideals woulf
serve to stimulate our grades anj
tend to aid in their general betten
ment.
GARDNER MEEITnG
WITH OTHER RULER!
May Adopt Plans That Wj
Avert Necessity of Calling
Special Session
Raleigh, Nov. 4 ? "Special Sessiof
continues to be one of the main topil
of conversation in Raieigh and ovj
the State, but the trend ha3 be<
changed as a result of the action I
Governor Gardner toward a confej
ence of the governors of four prij
ciple bright tobacco staU-s, along wit j
three or four agricultural figun I
from each state, to see if uniform alj
tion can be taken toward relief
the tobacco growers from low pricil
and restriction of acreage to prevei;
further Overproduction again ne j
year.
The plans under way rail for j
meeting of Governor Pollard, Vi '
ginia, Governor Blackwood, Sou j
Carolina, and Governor Russell, Geo j
gia, with Governor Gardner, prof !
ably in Charlotte on Friday of thi
week, to consider joint action on tjj
tobacco situation. Three or four otl
ers interested in tobacco and agricu;
tqre generally, to be named by tjj
Governors, would be asked to the co:;
ference. While legislation mijrht r
suit, it is not thought this method w! |
be agreeable. Just what form tlj
action will take is problematical. 1
Fully 500 messages, letters, tel ;
grams and calls, had come to Gove;
nor Gardner's' office during the pa i
week and up to Saturday, Secretai'
Edwin Gill reported, saying the
messages had not been tabulated ar
are for and how many against t'
special session of the General Assei
bly. Belief was expressed that t.J
majority are against the Governor
calling the legislature together fil
cotton and tobacco acreage reductioj
The messages are being tabulated all
classified.
Governor Gardner's statement e?
lier in the week that no power or i
fluenee could force him to ref/a
from calling it, if the contrary
true, has brought forth many fori |
of comment. Approval of the sen I
ment was given in an editorial I '
.Tosepfyus Daniels, who insisted th; ' ,
Governor Gardner should not be ii '
fluenced by the opposition to tl i
special session, as expressed by Noi
man Cocke, head of an i ndustria .
irroup. Mr. Daniels is given credit,
for being the greatest proponent ol'
the special session movement, and oi
31-on.oting the groups seeking to in-j
luence Governor Gardner to call the
session.
There is r;o use trying to- joke with
i woman. The other day Mr. Boone
learc' a pretty gcod conondruin and
lecided to try it on Mrs. Boom;.
"Do you know why I am like a
nijle?" he asked her when he went
lome.
"No," she replied promptly, "I
mow you are, but I don't know why
