When "war to end all wars" hud

When the men remaining could re '

To their beloved one's side,
I' And peace lay white upon the land :
O, bord God. would men dare
Unloose those fiends of hell again, ,

- Tfie increase tn residential construction
Is one of the very best ot.
I the signs ot better times.
As an article in the Wall 8treet
Journal points out, of every dollar
spent for a home, almost 50 cents
goes for the purchase of materials?
lumber, bricks, metals, cement, eta.
"These figures," in the words of tn?>
article, "show clearly the tremendous
Impact of building both upou employment
and demand for goods, and
oonsevuently upon the general bustness
trend', and emphasize the possible
Importance of the present upturn
in home building upon the general
econofnic. welfare of the country."
F Furthermore, the labor created by
home building is far from being con-]
fined to the men actually employed!
upon the job. The United States
Housing Authority says that lndi-|
| reot labor actually benefits more!
I'. than direct. It estimates the direct)
labor time employed for each dollar
of expenditure, at 24 minutes, while
Indirect labor gets 36 minutes' work j
per dollar.
iFVom the standpoint of the prospective
home owner, "build now" is
|j' no Idle slogan. There Is an abundance
of capital ready to go Into mort
gages on the homes of responsible
builders. Interest rates have bH-?materially
reduced, and the time
for paying ofT the principal greatly
| extended. The man who plans wisely,
and doesn't set his heart on a
dwelling beyond his means, will usually
find that he can own a far better
home for as little each month as
B, he now pays in rent.
More nower to the residential enn
structlon movement. It Is orte of the
keys to real and -sounc recovery.
r FOR OTHERS ? .
jWe are always glad to do something
for ourselves or our loved ones.
This is cnly natural. But we should
think more about what we can do to
help relieve the burden of others,
fc' those who are members of our iin'
mediate faintly.
tWe should really appreciate the
1 opportunity of giving and at the
aame lime know that the money we
giro gcee to the most needy and deserving
cases. Who are we to Judge
r whether a person (s entitled to help
K or not. But In Kings Mountain clttI
senn are fortunate In haying an orE.
ganlsation that Is experienced In the
C business of heloln? others. All the\
need Is the funds, so it is up to us.
to help In this most helpful manner
of giving, where it s ill do the most
B, good. The Citizens of the Beet Town
k In the Stat'e have always come acrosa
In times of need, and we know
they will this time.

At the Cenotaph, In London, wher
black-veiled wpmen weep. . . .

To the young this celebration ma
mean much or little. But to million
of older men It brings each year mor
poignant emotions. Not only the recol
lections of gay and sturdy comrade
who now sleep In honored graves. Nc
only disappointment because a brav
new world which was to rise from th
ashes of holocaust failed, somehow, t
materialize. But deeper still, a sense c
loss and disenchantment, when th
high courage and the high Idealist
that marked those days Is compare
with the attitude of 'many of ou
leaders today.
Then the men in high places preach*
a united nation pressing onward t
great and noble ends. Now, too man
of them preach a message of group an
class hatred.
Then we were told that It was th
duty and the privilege of citizens Voyall
to aid and support their nation. Nov
from countless political platforms w
hear the reverse?that the people shou)
expect the Nation to support than.
Then men strove for leadership o
the basis of what they could do fc
America. Now. too many of them spea
only of what they can get for thpl
political supporters.
Undoubtedly these attitudes are tern
porary. Only the body of the Unknow
Soldier is dead and burled. The sptrl

WESTERN AUTO STORK
3PENS HERE
1 * '?
Kings Mountain is lastly growing
is a shopping and trading center,
l'he Herald is glad to announce the.
opening ot a complete new kind ot
;etail store here. The Western Auto
3toro which opens (or business this
week in the Schulman Building on
Bust Mountain street is locally ownid
and operated by Mr. J. O. DarraL'ott,
formerly o( Abbeville, S. C.
Mr. and Mrs.. Darracott have already
moved to Kings Mountain and
are living in the Herndon Apartments
The Darracotts are Presbyterians
and have one child.,
Mr. James Littlejohn will be a
member of the sales force of the
new establishment.
Mr. C. B. Comb, of the Western
Auto Stores, has been in Kings
Mountain for the past two weeks as
listing in the opening.
Mr. Darracott extends a cordial In
vitation to the citizens of Kings
Mountain and surrounding communt-'
ty to visit his store where they will |
tiiiu a complete Hue of auto supples
radios, bicycles and hardware, Davie
Tires. Wliard Patteries and, Truemnt'
Bam m fct itamrrt ta tfa
lew store.
Mr. Darracott said: "1 like King*
Mountain fine, and I want to meet
the people, so 1 will be glad tobave
them stop in my store any Mime
whether they want to make a puri-base
or not."
apshots
some of the Brain Busters had hoped
they would be.
Incidentally, the gosslpers are say
ing. too, that the investigators art
going to ask the new Congress for a
$3,000,000 fund to go deeper into flho
question of alleged monopolies.- That
would be the largest sum ever asktd
tor nnv investigation by a Federal
investigating committee! '
As for importance (and by way of
comparison) the Dies committee
was given only $25,000 to investigate
un American activities (Comjnunism,
Fascfsm. et<<.) Dfes' Job
is a big one. It Is to develop how
foreign influences, like termites, are
boring from within to destroy the
American way. Some itflhnk maybe
Dies Bhould get 3 millions too. This
group of thinkers believe it as important
to save the American sys
tem as to try and improve It.
Treasury experts are busy trying
to figure out a way to collect social
security taxes from farmers employing
helpers and housewives employlog
domestics. The problem was glv
en seilcus thought in two recent
meetings in Washington. Both meet
ings were to pool ideas for amending
the Social Security Act to cover
more people.
The method still favored for mL
lecting these farm and' household security
taxes, according to reports, Is
the one that would require the farmer
and housewife to buy special
stamps to be affixed to cards carried
by the workers.
