derson, defeated in the recent pri

expressed gratitude to those who sup

To the Citizens of j
Transylvania County:
I -wish to express my sincere and

county who, by their splendid vote
at our Democratic primary, expressed
their confidence in me and theiT
earnest desire that I be given the
responsibility of representing the
citizens of this county in the next
session of our State legislature.
I desired to represent this county I
in our next General assembly, be- ]
cause I believed that my opportuni- ?
ties to know the State and the needs i
of the county would enable me to do |
more than others would do to relieve j
our county and our State of unjust I
and intolerable taxation burdens, i
without any decrease in efficiency of j
service. I realized as you, of course,)
must all fully realize that our next)
representative must be the servant of !

LOCAL WOMEN ARE
HONORED AT MEET
Mrs. McCrary And Mrs- Rob
ertson Have Important
Parts On Program.
Mrs. Mary Jane McCrary, district
chairman of the Business and Profes
sional Women's clubs, and Mrs. Lo
dema Robertson, president of the
, Brevard club, have returned after
attending the state convention held
! at Winston-Salem during last week.
| The Brevard women were highly !
I honored at the State meeting, and
were among the leading officials in
the conduct of the convention.
Mrs. McCrary was selected as
chairman of the group on public re
lations and read the report of the
committee, which was pronounced to
be one of the most interesting papers
heard by the convention. Mrs. Mc-i
Crary also reported for the district
chairmen on the work done by the
board of directors during the past
year.
Mrs. Robertson delivered an ad
dress on the subject, "Young at For
ty," which was so impelling in its
forcefulness that The Winston-Salem
Sentinel, in addition to the news ar
ticle, also published an editorial on
the address. Members of the Brevard
club have expressed keen appreciation
of the fact that Mrs. Robertson was
the only member of the State con
vention receiving editorial mention ?
except that devoted to one of the nat
ional officers.
Winston-Salem papers gave un-J
usual space to the workings of the |
convention, and it is declared that j
no other group ever made greater j
impression upon a convention in this j
state than that made by the Business i
and Professional Women's club. !
Among the social activities in honor
of the visiting women was a garden
party given by Mrs. S. Clay Williams,
wife of the president of the Rey
nolds Tobacco company, and an ev
er.ing's entertainment by the "Camel
Follies." Many smaller social affairs
were given for the visitors.
FISH STORY FULL GROWN
Five carp totalling 48 1-2 pounds
were caught by Jerry Garland and his
13 year old grandson, Henry Carland,
Monday morning in the backwaters j
of French broad river in J. K. Mills |
pasture in North Brevard.
It is said that this species of fish
make excellent food when skinned and
properly prepared. One of the carp
weighed 14 1 2 pounds; while the
others weighed 12, 8, 7 and 7 pounds
respectively.
BASEBALL SATURDAY
i
The Lake Toxaway ball club will ?'
play the Pisgah Forest nine on the
latter's field Saturday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock and the Penrose boys

the Rosman field at the same time,
according to C. M. Douglas president
of the Sylvan Valley baseball league.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
IS READY FOR BUSINESS
The Chamber of Commerce office
located at the U. D. C. Library was
opened Wednesday morning for the
summer tourist season with Mrs. John
Smith in charge. It has been an
nounced that Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
C. N. Erwin will have charge of the
Chamber of Commerce work at the
library during the summer, distribut- i
ing the Brevard phamplets and giv
ing all information. The phamphlets
which were ordered two weeks ago
are cxpected to arrive here Thurs
day.
A CORRECTION
Due to an error in addition, The !
llrevard News stated last week- that |
there was an even 100 votes in* re
cast in the contest for sheriff in the
Democratic primary than were cast
in the legislative race. There were
only 10 more votes in the sheriff's
race than that cast in the legislative
contest, instead of 100, as stated.
Some day The Brevard News will buy
on adding machine or leant to count
ii, p to one hundred.
GREAT INTEREST IN
REVIVAL SERVICES!
Enthusiastic congregations have
been attending all of the revival ser
vices being held at the Brevard Bap
tist Church, where Rev. Jesse R.

ship.

10 o'clock and each evening at 8
o'clock with a short prayer meeting
for the benefit of persons who feel
the need of prayer prior to the reg
ular evening services.
Rev. J. R. Owens powerful sermons
of well thought out and skillfully
planned composition have so gripped
the attention of Brevard people that
the church is filled every evening.
It is expected that the services will
be concluded with Sunday's services

the court house.
The board has nothing on hand |
now to speak of, in the way of food,|
and less than $6 in money; Satur
day is coming, and with it will come
those people who need and must have
assistance. Of course, there is the
flour on hand, shipped here by the
Federal government, and while that
is a great help, it does not in any
manner meet the needs of the hour.
This flour must be distributed ac
cording to regulations made by the
government, and then, too, people
cannot live on biscuits alone. I
A solicitation is to be made Friday
for Saturday's needs. The report was
made that a few people have been

Charles M. Douglas was elected
chairman of the County Welfare
Board at a meeting of the executive
committee Wednesday morning, to
fill the vacancy created by the re
signation of Alex. Kizer, who has
been chairman since the board was
organized. Mr. Kizer was compelled
to resign the chairmanship because
of multiplying duties in connection
with the welfare work interfering
to such an extent with his official
duties as county accountant. It was j
explained that Mr. Kizer had much)
work to do in preparation of budgSts
that must be completed for the coun
ty. Then, too, Mr. Kizer has given
much time and labor to the work of
the welfare board.

SCOUT MISTRESS OF I
GEORGIA IS VISITOR!
j
Mrs. J. Sam Guy, Scout Mistress of !
Troop No. 3 Girl Scouts of Atlanta.
Ga., was visiting in Brevard Friday
June 10 and while here she spent sev
eral hours at the Girl Scout camp at
Camp Sapphire.
She was very enthusiastic over the I
apparent success of the camp and I
made the following statement in re-!
gard to it: I
Camp Silver Lake is an ideal Girl
Scout camp. Too, Brevard girls are
very fortunate in having such a love
ly place. We came in just before the i
close of camp and found them all j
very happy and excited over the !
closing festivities. The girls were all j
finishing up work for their merit
badges and I was a bit envious 01
the beautiful lake and canoes which
few Girl Scout camps can afford. The
friendly spirit of both girls and lead
ers warmed our hearts. The girls took
my girl, who is an enthusiastic Scout
and made her feel at home with them
at once giving splendid exhibition of
the law of beir.g a sister to every
other girl scout.

I'd an intriguing address on the sub- 1
ject, "Young at Forty." i
Mrs. Robertson stressed the idea
that as the years pile up on the wom
en in business, she finds herself in j
close competition with young women
and must keep hersolf attractive and
youthful in appearance to hold her
job.
While this theme is interesting, it
is by no means new to the woman
in business. She has seen concrete
examples of the workings of this
theory from time to time in her ex
perience. And doubtless, too, she has
sec-n efficiency too often sacrificed
to bright eyes and a demure smile. 1
It is difficult to determine to just
what extent sex governs the process
c of modern business, but that its
ir'luence is potent there can be no
question. But the biggest handicap
v.-'iiich confronts woman in the busi
ness and professional -world today is
that she is a woman and is attri
buted the characteristics of the fe
male of the species. We have not yel
learned to look upon her objective!;,
as Dr. Jones, or President Johnson,
but stiil regard her as "the woman
