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 ! all the people of the county, and no!

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.

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!

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 anlcr.o tie expression of tho people call* for 8 rortimied r.erie?.

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 ( Confuted on back page) ?

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.

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. MRS. J. SAM GUY, Troop 3, Atlanta, Ga. i MRS- GLENN INJURED j Mrs. Rebecca Blythe Glenn is con fined to her home following an auto mobile accident in Asheville last Sat urday.

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 doctor," and the "woman who heads a corporation." j And, too, we have learned via psy ( Continued on page five) HOLLIDAY REUNION The annual Holliday family re union will be held this year Sunday June 2j3 at tht 29,038.
