"THANK YOU. TOWN COUNCILI"
Our Town Council has Just completed
a move which makes living In
Kings Mountain an even more at- t'
Inactive propesition than It formerly a
Iwas. In 1931 the cost of w.ater tn
Kings Mountain was lowered, and hi
3935 the cost of electricity came
- down, hut everyone admitted that at j ^
? minimum of $2.25 per month,, for . j
W>tli, tho cost was still higher than' *.
eihei nearby to'wns.
Is'ow the cost has been lowered to
ft minimum ?t $2.00. "Great oaks 1.
from little acorns grow," tls said.
$md even with a-family that uses *
enly the minimum amount of wateT t v
nd lights. $3.00 each year ts saved.,1'
ft its estimated that the present re-1
ttuction will save Kings Mountain
-c.thsena approximately $5,000 each 1 V
year, which Is quite a tidy sum to 1 j
o allowed on the family budget. j di
IWe don't even have to take a poll L
f public ?tlnton in order to sav. tor I
*hr town as an entirety. "Thank
frou Town Council!" f,

EVERYBODY PUSH M
Recently a business man of Kings r<
fountain took a trip to the north.
Upon returning, and when asked
(what impressed him most about the a
grlh. came tlie answer: "The fact l(
ttu.t they Very smallest' towns in the v
worth boast a modern hotel." n
Three, local organizations, namely,
the Ltous, the Men's Club, and the
Pfaertcan Legion have pledged them c
waleee, to a man, tc back the move- {(
sncnt. But it needs more than that. ?
The citizens of Kings Mountain must ()
Ket back of it. talk It, and do everything
within their power to reach
Hie goal.
Kings Mountain, the Best Town ^
Tn the State. Is (proud of the new |
town hall. Kings Mountain is also ,
grroud of the several beautiful and
snodern churches In town, and of the
fact that we are on the verge - of
Boasting a new post office. What
will the hundreds of tourists who
pane through Kings Mountain annually
think when they see these oth- ?
?r structures and look In vain for a '
VBiodern hotel? g

.THE TEN GREATEST TREES
The ten trees which are most im- hi
portant to mankind ? what arj a
tliey? The American Nature Associa* ei
tion Is said to have put the ijuestion ti
recently to the secretary of the A- h
merlcan Ftore3ters. 11
|The list which that authority sub-! r<
snitted follows: the date palm, the |
. eocoanut palm, the almcnd, apple.
tig, mulberry. Oliver, lemon, cinch- j
na, and* rulbber trees.
Tl^se trees are Importast because
(Oiey contribute significantly to the
reeds of mav.klnd in the fcrm of
food-clothing, valuable oils, medicine p
leverages aid' a variety of highly "
desirable products. ?<
/ The mulberry furnishes the food
upon which the silkworms live and
be bark of the cinchona Is a source
of quinine , > c<
The coffee tree, which contributes ^
Its full share to the comfort of man- ['
fclsd, Is missing from the list and so
li the pine tree which only Just now '
Is coming into its full stature in the (
South. In the days of ''wooden ships
and iros men," live eak from the
ftouth was a famous shipbuilding
material in America. The sugar m*?
pie has rong been one of fcew En<? m
land'? most useful trees.

on Nick Orlmes and laying his ci

'here.
And. in the meantime. Congress 1s
eking that embarrassing question
f -who wrote whose bill.
The Isaue has been projected to
he foreground over the O'Mahoney
ill. This measure is designed tc
trengthen the anti-trust laws. One
icans of doing this is by setting up
overe penalties tor violation cf the
iws. No one is opposed to that extpt
for this BUT?
"*' *' ... The
BUT ?s that no one knows, In,
aeny instances, when the anti-trust
iw has been violated until the court
ecides. It's Just as baffling as crack
ig a nut or opening an oyster. Both
ioth may look gcod.from the outside
ut may not be so good on the. inside
Consequently, a business man may
vddenly find that the wav hs has
tec. conducting his business Is in
lolatlon of the anti-trust law. If he
i convicted oi this he would be sublet
to a fine of twice bis monthly
icorae for the period he had been
iolatlng the law. His corporation is
ubject to a fine for the same period
'he business man also may be removed
from his position. Further, he
lay be prohibited from getting a Job
n the same ilne of business.
For this reason the question is beng
asked at Who WTote Whose
til*. No Congressman wrote the bill,
t was written by an admlnistraelon
lew Dealer and sent to the Capitol.
The same has been found to be
rue with the new Spend-Lend proram.
No Congressman suggested
he program. Tfcey had approved 1.7
lllion dollars for reHef next year,
ft-ne of them thought of an addition
1 8.8 billion dollar lendrpend proram
project. '*
And again. Who Wrote Whose
111, waa asked. A rain it develoned
Hat another administration New
lealer had worked up the project
So goee the story Who Wrote
(Those Bill.
The neutrality fight has brought
at tome rather raah and Conflicting
redtctlona on the possibility of ymr.
t> support the plea for more White
iosse control over foreign affair's,
ae administration pleaders for the
entrality revision sprinkled supcsedly
'confidential" reports a*
>und the Captol, purporting to reeal
absolute dope that a war war
as coming.
But the ColgreesTuen were getting
telr dope elsewhere, and that inirraatlon
was that a war is not like
t this year. That is the dope of
Washington military experts who
re really in the know. That is why
ongress moved to shelve the Present's
request for neutrality powers.

to ooms out of Washington during
August and September. On August 1
the House Committee investigating
un-American Activities resumes Its
probing of the sub-surface borings
of Communists. Fascists, Nasls, and
other un-American groups. Reports
are current at the Oapttol that the ^

A bitter feud Is on between one of
the Washington columnists and one
of the ultra-New Dealtsh cabinet;
members many weeks ago. and' tbe
cabinet officer took to a nation wide
radio hookup to say several unkind
things about the columnist. The feud
has been brewing since tben and tbe
latest activity has been this: The
Now Dealer has written to the editors
ot the papers printing the column
"suggesting" tbat - they should
drop the column from their papers.
The answer has been a boomerang,
for most of the editor are now urging
the writer to publicly spank tbe
cabinet member more frequently.
And not a single editor has thus tar
dropped the column from his paper.'
Seasoned diplomats ot the 8tat?
Department who have made, the

Iffe careers are snickering at some
of the political appointees who have
been shaping some ot onr foreign' pot
teles. The career diplomats have
long been opposed to the course .pursued
by the U. S. In Its dealings with
Mtxco over the expropriation of Amerlcan
owned oil lands. The poll- |
tleians, however, always with, an "upW

strongly defend the "good neighbor*
policy", even In -face of the selstrre
by Mexico of Americans' .properties.
They have denied that Mexico has
turned Communist Now comes the
story frcm the New York WorM's
Fair that Mexico at Its exhibit has
pictured Itself by a map of flaming
red.
"Thank heaven, the map still
