BREVARD FIREMEN
MEET SEVERE TEST

from the time the truck stopped at
the hydrant near the home of Hale
Siniard on Park avenue, until there
was a stream of water issuing
through the strong pump of the up
to-date La France truck. But for the
unlooked for hindrance, it is believed
that at least ten seconds could have
been cut from this record. It seems
that a young man, who is not a mem
ber of the fire department and. who is
unfamiliar with the operations re
quired for quick hook-up, had boarded
the track, and according to one of

NEW FORD EIGHTS
! BEING DISPLAYED
!
Edsel B. Ford announces today
I that the new Ford V-8 is now on ex
j hibition at dealers sales rooms in
1200 cities fn the United States and
Canada.
The announcement, Ford said, cul
minated months of preparation on
the part of his organization which
employs 100,000 workers and draws
supplies from 5,300 other manufac
turing plants.
Both his father and himself are
confident, Ford said, that a measure
of business revival is possible to the
country at this time. Speaking of the
machine,. Ford said:
"We know, exactly what the car
will do. One of our objectives has
< been to develop an eight-cylinder
engine with plenty of horsepower and
yet so simply designed that its sim
plicity w.ill be as much a feature as
its speed and power. That enables
us to biilM and sell it at a price to
fit the average present American
pocketbdfek; I'll say candidly we have
quit figuring costs on the car. The
more yoj jfigure costs the higher the
?price goesvund this is no time for
high prices. Time and money have
not entered into our calculations. We
have believed it our duty to do every
thing necessary to start employment
'again, now we are ready to go
ahead."
the firemen, was directly in the way
when the-connecting hose from truck
to hydrant was being put in place.
Also, there was a small amount of
tarvia from the street on the hy
drant that caused about five seconcPs
delay in the actual connections.
Ail in all. it was a run that is to
be admired by al! citizens of the town
and is due in large measure to the
efficiency program that has been put
in practice by the men for the past
several months. Semi-monthly prac
tices are held, after which there is
a meeting of the volunteer organiza
tion held, and methods are discussed,
and difficulties talked over, with a
view to increasing efficiency.
Chief Brornfield asks that citizens
cooperate in every way possible when
there is a fire alarm, and expresses
the emphatic opinion that this co
operation can best be shown by
obeying the ordinances governing
chese matters. Upon hearing the siren
of the firemen, it is required cf all
traveling vehicles to at once pull to
the curb, and remain there until
the trucF has passed, or until there
is positive belief that the truck will
not pass that particular street. This
is an ordinance that has ben woe
fully overlooked, Chief Brornfield
asserts, and one that is going to "navo
more attention in the future. Several
ears failed altogether in this coopera
tion measure Monday.
Emphatic warning is also issued by
the chief that anyone violating the
ordinance of riding on the fire truck
wit be prosecuted to the full extent
'if the law. Chief Brornfield wishes it
, understood that he is not trying to
?>e "hard boiled'' about the matter,
] but that the efficiency of the depart
! merit is materially hindered by those
who unintentionally hinder the opera
tions of the department, and that as
j a measure of protection to the town
| this ordinance will be enforced to the
I letter.
BOARD TO MEET
i The Board of Education will meet
!nt the court house Monday morning,
j according to recent announcement cf
i Prof. J. B. Jones, county superin
tendent amf all the board members
are requested to be present.

MILK FOR HEALTH
j FIRST PRIZE
(Malva Tharp, 7th grade)
No one should do without milk,
because there are so many elements
of a healthful diet in it. Invalids and
sick people especially need it.
j Almost all of the elenfents required
?by the body, except roughage and cer
tain vitamins are to be found in milk.
I It contains proteins for building bone
?end muscle, fats to supply energy,
.vitamins to ward off disease, minerals
and lime needed in the blood, bones
and teeth, and water, needed to carry
off waste.
Milk is a food, not to be drunk
rapidly, merely to quench thirst.
Always try to buy grades of milk
containing purity and richness. Pas
teurized milk is the best quailty and
is safest.
Milk should never be wasted, either
.sour or sweet. There are many ways
in which it can be used.
Milk is very perishable and every
precaution should be taken to protect
it from harmful bacteria. It should
be bought in a sealed bottle and kept
clean, cold and covered.
Milk is one of the most important
items in the diet. More than forty
billion quarts are used every year in
the United States.
SECOND PRIZE
(Dorothy Everett, 7th grade)
Milk is the best all around iood we
have, and also the cheapest at the
d recent prices. One cup ot milk con
tain* the same value as two and a
half eggs, cr three and three fomth^
ounces of string beans. Almost all
the things needed by our bodies an
l'ound in milk except roughage and
certain vitamins. You -should dunk
milk slowly not as you would watu,
it is a food not a beverage. It Is mon
th? fuel for the body,)t helps grow t.,
and builds flesh and bone ti
Certified milk is the very best raw
milk that is produced but ^ia^ "V
a good quality and may be used loi
the family. This milk is rather surety
be of lower grade, because n may b
impurificd by harmtui germs fiom
hands or unclean dippers as u
ladled out. , . e
Milk requires the best of care
it is the most difficult of all ourfood
i stuff to collect, handle and transport.
It must be kept clean, coid and cov
1 '.In the U. S. we use something like
forty billion quarts of milk each
vear. This would make a lr.Ke large
enough to float all the navies of the
world. This is only one-halt pint of
milk a day for each person.
A Very good mptto lor us all
follow "Drink Milk and be
| Healthy."
thTrd PRIZE
| (Martha Kate Moore, Sth grade)
i The question may be asked, V, hich
'is man's best animal friend.
answer is the cow. And why? Because
(she gives us our most peifect foou,
j1" And whv is milk our most perfect
food? Because it contains more vital
elements for body building than any
other food. Think of it! Milk contains
! proteins, fat, sugar, vitamins miner
al salts, and water All of these are
I needed by our bodies. If we (Inn
I plenty of milk, our bones and teeth
! will be sound, our blood will be pure,
land our bodies will have the heat
land energy for the building of strong
I muscles and bones. In fact, it con
tains almost every element needed by
the body except roughage.
V/here are we to get the milk and
how do we know when it is safe to
drink? Every drop of dirty, stale
milk teems with bacteria. So be sure
vour milk is clean. If we get it from
licensed dealers, we will run no risk
of catching diseases from sick cows.
Clean, cold pasteurized milk bough,
in sealed bottles is safe. .
Let us be healthy then by drinking
more milk. Drink it slowly. A bot
tle of milk is a bottle of health.

MANY PENNIES MAKE
MANY GIRLS HAPPY
Jars Being Filled By Admiring
Friends To H ?!p the
Movement
"Pennies make dimes, dimes make
dollars, dollars wili make possible
the Girl Scout camp, and the camp
will make healthy, happy girls" ? that
is the theory on which the Brevard
Business and Profesional Women's
club members are operating in their
drive for funds which will make pos
s;vi- ? rcaj ca:np for Girl Scouts of
Transylvania county this summer.
Jars, large and small, round,
square and octagon, have been placed
in all the business houses of the town
and county and many in homes of
citizens, as a constant reminder of
the drive.
No donations have been, or will be
alked for by the Business Women's
club, in their drive ? only the extra
pennies and small pieces of change
that can be given without hurt to the
donor. It is a cooperative movement,
leaders assert, with the ladies only
acting as the guiding spirit in the
?plan. Very few girls could be cared
for if only members of the Business
and Professional Women's club were
to give their pennies, it is pointed out;
but with everybody joining in, the
program will go over with a bang.
Funds in the penny drive will not
be spent on any member of the club
nor on any of the several people who
have assented to aid in making the
, camp a success. Every dollar obtain
i ed will be used in the purchasing of
necessary equipment and in taking
care of the actual expense of the
camp.
Camp Iliahee will be donated to the
girls by Mr. and Mrs. Hinton Mc
Lecd; physical examination all
Scouts and their counselors will be
made free of charge by Dr. C. L.
-Newland ; Mrs. Charles Y. Patton
will donate hsr services as all-time
nurse, and trained leaders who have
been giving of their time and talents
in the work of building up the first
class Scout organizations, will give
their services in a continuation of
. making healthier and happier girls.
NO BLAME ATTACHE!?
TO MRS. CLARKE FOR
GRAVELY ACCIDENT
( Continued from page one)
a lady in a small delivery type truck
had stopped to pick him up. He re
membered trying to tell the lady to
stop when he reached the roadway
leading off from the highway to
Breeso's Mill, and here his memory
failed him.
Checking up on detnils of the story
the officers went at once to the home
of Mrs. Harry Clark, who . cleared
the mystery when she told how sh ?
had stopped her truck to pick up
some old gentleman who was carry
ing a bag of corn, but that she hail
not thought any more about the inci
dent, thinking that he bad gotten off
the rear of the ligh delivery truck
when she stopped in Brevard. Mrs.
Clark had not heard Mr. Gravely
when he is supposed to have asked
her to let him of? at the mill road, the
clesed cab of the truck making his
voice inaudible.
It is the opinion of the officers that
51 r. Gravely, upon reaching entrance
to the mill, tried to make Mrs. Clark
understand his intention of getting
off there, and as he made preparation
to get off fell from the moving ve
hicle. '
Mrs Clark, while deeply regretting
the accident, is held entirely blame
less by the officers, she having had
only the one purpose in view ? that of
giving the aged gentleman a lift with
his load.

IN MEMORY OF
JASPER ORR
(Contributed) *
The strongest of all the memories
of my childhood is that ci a man, old
even then, who evtry Sunday after
noon passed by our house. Tail and
straight with the firm step of a
soldier he came, carrying on his arm
a basket. In front of each home he
slopped for a moment and called,
t "Ail aboard for Sunday School."
That man was Uncle Jasper Oit.
As a small child I followed him tc
the little church at Oak Grove where
he gave us cards and taught us tc
sing, "Little Drops of Water," "Jesus
i Loves Me," and ether songs so easi
i ly learned by children jand yet sc
1 applicable to the veriest greybeard as
.to the tiniest tot. Uncle Jasper was
, not only the teacher of the smallest
children but also he was the song
leader, the organizer, and the guid
ing spirit of the *whole Sunday school.
Others might have the honorary posi
tions, but Uncle Jasper did the
works.
j Under Mr. Orr we learnecf the
story of Jasus and of his love. Sun
day after Sunday we sat before him
while be, in simple words, told us
about the Heaven to which Jesus
would some day take him and all who
believe.
i Many ^ears have passed and now
he is gone to his reward. More years
will pass and we whom he taught
will go; but we will go serene in the
knowledge that Uncle Jasper is call
ing tis, "All aboard for Heaven."
