"Were you talking about my boss in that editorial last week?" a cer tain lawyer's stenographer asked this poor ami soiely tried scribe one day recently. Fire was in her eye and ire was in her expression. Always more ur kss bashttil in the presence of la dies, we couldn't answer lor a mo mem, >o the impatient stenographer continued her tongue lashing, and "It' you were talking about my I shall never read your paper again, and you may remove my name i loin your mailing list, if you were w urruig to MY boss in that edi torial." When assured that no mention had been made of her employer, no inti tuation, even, of taking her boss to task, then she became her own friend ly self again. There is nothing particularly inter esting in relating this story, nor is there any news value in it, because are taken to task so often, and jump, d upon by so many people be of eiiiiutials and news articles, !.?s oiii incident was but one more of its kind. But there was something fine and ;-rand in this woman's act. There was a ii, an:.; .station of loyalty to her ??T ?> ?? 4- i;...: was most refreshing and deeply impressive. Here was a sicti.i-iaphc.-. an employe, who was willing to do battle in protecting' her employer. It was t : no ; it was grand; it was rather unusual. That woman can be trusted. She can be tru.-ieu with anything on in whatever value. No finer m; k ni hour or honesty can be !? und than that of an employe's loy alty to an employer. On the other hand, no meaner spirit can be dis I ,1 titan tii.it of disloyalty to one's employer; hi this connection it mignt be well ? Elbe i , Hubbard speak on this : t Hon. Don S. Elias, in speak ii t. the .\.uanis club in Brevard - Mt'y. "- 'inaxed his tine address i\v r-ading the following words from llubbbard: HorSq Sotst !i v 'ti work for a man, in heaven's name work tor him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and but ter. work for him. speak well of him, ? h : n k well of him. .stand by him and ,M : : by the institution he represents, i hink it I worked for a man, I would " '"'k for him. 1 would not work for h'm a part of his time, but ail of his ! "ic: I would give an undivided ser or none. If put to a pinch, an < .nee i t loyalty is worth a pound of Inverness. If you must vilify, con demn and eternally disparage, why, r< <ign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's con tent. But, I pray you. so long as you i't'e part of an institution, do not con demn it. Not that you will injure the " titution not that ? but when you tiisfiarago the concern of which you a part, you disparage yourself. And don't forget, "I forgot" don't do in business. LET THE LINDBERGHS ENJOY THEIR IiABY IN PEACE. That was a pitieous appeal made by Cc!. Lindbergh to the press of the nation Tuesday evening. Another baby boy had come to them, and im mediately the wires of the world be came busy, and a great army of news gatherers, cameramen and curiosity seekers began the trek toward the Morrow home, where the mother and new-born babe are living. Col. Lind bergh, knowing full well that it was due in large measure to the publicity given his first born that resulted in the tragic death of the little fellow, issued a statement Tuesday evening, pleading with the people to let him and his wife and his baby alone. What is the matter with America, that her citizens who have accom plished a fortune, cannot live in peace? After all is said and done, thero is no news value in the fact that Anne Morrow Lindbergh has had another baby. It is no more impor tant in news value than the brith of any other baby boy, even in the hum bles home on the mountainsides of the Carolina hills or on the plains of Texas. Tkis is supposed to be a democracy, this republic in which we live, yet there is no Dther nation on earth where people worship at the shrine I of wealth or at the foot of the hero I like thaf witnessed in this land of . the free and the home of the brave, j The over-zealous newspapers are j largely responsible for this state of ' affairs. 1 Mrs. Lindbergh gives birth to a ; baby, and off goes the whole top of i the pet in America, and reporters go crazy. Countless millions of women in | the world have gone down into the ( valley of the shadow, and come up smiling, with little babes on their bosoms, just like Mrs. Lindbergh has done. She was surrounded by every - . luxury, watched over by the best of ? physicians, attended by the most pro ficient nurses. Iler act cannot be com pared in heroism with that of tens of millions of mothers who #ve brought human life into this world under cir cumstances that would chill the heart of even Col. Lindbergh himself. Our own mothers, here in these great mountains, have performed the mir acle unaided by physicians and un attended by nurses, and there were the heroic acts. Col. Lindbergh and his excellent wife are just human beings. They are happy in the birth of their baby. Our greatest help to them would be to let them alone, to live and love with their own. A few silent prayers to Al mighty God that His great protection be thrown about the new babe would be infinitely better for the Lindberghs than all of our newspaper hip-hur rahs about the little fellow. If this publicity continues, the week will not be ended before there is another plot being laid to kidnap this second child of the Lindberghs, and il' it happens let no one charge the act up to the 18th amendment and the prohibition laws. Charge it up to the infernal newspapers that make such an ado about the birth of a baby boy. TTEIi TIMES SEES' /.V ALL PARTS OF X AT I OX. From every direction and in every day's news dispatches there come the news of renewed business activities, of i ;iuiv.plion. of work in manufactur ing plants, of better prices for farm . [??<\iucts. We people in Transylvania ?i know what it means for the oiivcrsU-en interests to resume op erations. Then let us get a glimpse of IV' national picture by thinking of ?the fact that in every section of the <. untry the manufacturing business is tarting up, putting men back to , work, and placing new men on the payroll. We should not make the mistake, ?v u e\ ,, of a complete re covery over night. It takes a long time for a man who has been sick to fully recover his strength. He must take good care of himself, watch his step at every turn. This nation and I every other nation in the world have long been sick. The recovery is to b< much like that of the individual who has suffered a long illness. The pro cess of recovery will be gradual, and care must be exercised all the time. When the state begins its increased highway work with the huge sum of federal money sent into North Caro lina, added to the renewed activities j i in private business, then we shall really feel the beneficial effects of 1 .tinting upon the road to recovery. J iXTEIi'ESTIXG LETTER , i'ROM I)R. ZACHARY. Dr. J. F. Zachary, reared in the . great mountain section of Cashiers, and living most of his life since at taining his majority in the friendly ; ! town of Brevard, and who left here i . several months ago to practice his i profession in Seattle, Wash., has j ! found the Big City a most undesir- j able place in which to live, and has | moved to Snoqualmie, Wash., a town about the size of Brevard. In a most ! | interesting letter to the editor of The Brevard News Dr. Zachary tells something of his longing for the friendly places where folks are folks and fishing is within easy access of all A portion of Dr. Zachary's fine j letter deals with the liquor question, I for he has long been an advocate of prohibition, a real church worker, and one of the best citizens this town ev?r claimed. In telling about his removal from Seattle to Snoqualmie, Dr. Zach ary say3; "I had a good place there in normal times, but the office overhead was so much that I decided that somebody else would have to worry as to wheth er the owners of the building as well as the gas and phone companies pay dividends or not. My office telephone was $10.00 per month with rent and other overhead in proportion. Living expenses are low there but business operation is terrible. This place is a combination of three little towns, with a total population about that of Brevard. There is a tre mendous saw rail! here with a ca pacity of 500,000 feet a day when full time. At the present thoy are way | down but they won't always be that! way. The surrounding country is a i rich farming and dairying region, i 1 am too much of a hill billy to have ! to dodge city traffic. The folks about ' here are the kind I think most of? ! countrymen. This section is known as the S-io- ! qualine Valley. It is about thirty ! miles long but not as wide or pre^ ty as the French Broad. For that matter few arc as beautiful as that. The river is larger than the French Broad and runs within 200 yards oi my office. It is full of fish, so you see I'll be satisfied on that score. The entire section is dotted with natural lakes and there is a good trout stream over every ridge. The Snoqualmic falls are only a half mile below town. It is a wonderful thing. Has a sheer drop of 270 feet and you can get steel head .trout, salmon or what have you at the fool. I went to one of the near by lakes last Sunday p. m. and tried to learn to swim. The most noticeable results of the effort were high water, when I got into the lake and a nice case of sunburn on yours truly. Also, I was ' nearly as stiff and sore Monday as you were after falling of the moun tain up at the Narrows towards Glou cester two years ago. One fellow told I me that he did not see how I could I sink since fat is supposed to float, I but it must have been my feet that ! pulled me under. The people here are i nsolutely dippy on swimming. When |!b? time comes they just about quit j work and live at the beaches. There ?are oi>!y eight or ten weeks when the water is warnj enough. The weather i is not cold, but there is so much snow :n the mountains it takes it a long 1'imf to melt, when spring does come. I So loner as snow water is running into i the streams they are too cold for i swimming. ] The sun does not get very hot here [fill th<> coast and the nights are cool : enough to call for two or more blank ets. It does not get cold in winter, due lo the Japanese current that runs up t he coast. i * think I will enjoy the hunting out here too. The mountains are full of fleer and bear, although 1 have not lof-t any bear, and the valleys are I ' hick with birds, most Chinese pheas ant-. They find them in their yards ? i>iht here in town, except during j ? pen season. ! Dr. Zachary, active in Masonic cir | cles here for years, is finding much ? cm fort and consolation in the Ma ! .''-lie field in his new home. As to ! hs? phaso <>r life in thi- State of hington, lie says: "This immediate section is very much given to Masonic and Kastorn .??.tar activities. There are more mem bers i.f each to the population than . any place I ever heard of and that ' .? it won't make me think any the less of them. 1 suppose you are all busy while the tourists and camps are there. 1 always enjoyed the hustle and activi ty that went along with that season. I would surely like to be with you for awhile. One thing I would en ! joy would be to go up to Roy's or : Mack's and get a real, honest to good i ness Coca Cola. The people here think | about a< much of a "dope" as they i would shoe blacking, and, after drink just one of the kind they serve, I can't ! --ay they are to be blamed. The on ; I drank reminded me of my boyhood ' days in the long ago when I mixed sorghum lasses with water and tried to drink it. Dr. Zachary's comments on the : liquor question are most timely, and I should Ix* read by all people, mor" , especially by the young people in thr community where the well known den tist was so dearly beloved and had |so many friends. He paints a picture J that should be a warning to all who I are so anxious to rush into repeal of j the prohibition laws. It is hoped that all young men and women in the homes where The Brevard Xcws is j received will read and study Dr. Zach ary's statements on this all important question. He says ? "I suppose the top has long since blown off the political pot down there. I was slightly surprised at the result of the North Carolina State Primary. Still, I suppose one can't blame the voters who are not old enough to remember the days when liquor was on top in every block They have certainly had to read and hear enough filthy propaganda in the past few years to make ther.i believe every saloon owner and bartender in the past ha<l a 'diploma for Sundaj school and Church attendance a? well as Missionary contributions, Lay service, Prayer leading and most i everything else sacred and fine tacked upon the wall behind the bar. The sad part of it is that it looks as if they are going to fix things so that they will learn better three bit ter experiences, watered with oceans of tears and learned with the destitu tion of Myrids cf children and wives whose husbands and fathers visit the "liquor store" under government control with wage envelopes in their pockets on pay day. However, I sup pose we can comfort ourselves with the old, old saying "truth crushed to earth shall rise again." I feel that it won't take very long for legal liauor mixed with the gasoline of millions of cars upon the concrete roads of this country to so 'smear the blood of innocent people upon those same roads that the present cry for, will turn into a savage warfare against, booze. It may be wrong, but "turns my sentiments." "Well, I think I have rambled along far enough. Please tell C-. M. to change his paper to my new address too, will you. Mrs. Zachary and the children are well. The youngsters have been husk ier than ever before since we came west. Give my regards to your family and try writing me a letter. I read your sooth sayings in the paper every week and enjoy them but I would appre ciate a direct communication. Sincerelv, J. F. ZAOHARv. T0XAWAY NEWS Rev. Arthur Vaughan of Brevard! and Rev. S. B.
