WASTEBASKETS | Wastebaskets are for Junk: The average home or business office har bors enough Junk, to start a bon-fire ?and that is what it should be used for, instead of cluttering up the homo or the office. Mental wastebaskets are for Junk too. Everybody should have one. In to it each of us should throw the mental rubbish that clutters up our minds and makes us- inefficient F"ear. -worry", dlseotiTagpmefit, defeatism ? this Junk should go! When a thought which we don't want enters our mind, we have the power to toes It into our mental wastebaskets and forget It. ft fg hot easy, but psychologists tell us it can be done. Mental Junk in our mind is a chief eatise of failure and unhappi ness. By sweeping this Juftk into our mental wastebaskets. we keep our minds onen for constructive thinking. ?The Jaqua Way.

Lynch) Kings Mountain haa two Hunter Ware and two John Floyds. I met Hoyts McOanlel yesterday on the Fulton comer talking to The Panther of the Kings Mountain 8hoe Shop and Jim Gamble. Hoylo wanted to know what I was going to have In my Here and There Column thle week, said that more folks read that column than anything In * The Herald. Thanks, Hoyle. I then crossed over to Myers Department Store, where Charlie Camp bell and "Judge Myers were holding fort. We got to talking about the weather, and we all agreed after the Judge had brought it out that | the weather la not keeping in step that moot of the cold bad weather * was before Christmas, and now moat of It Is after. Judge said If we could just live long enough, we 1 would see It snowing on the Fourth of July and and we would have hot w ether for Christmas. ^Talking about the weather, yesterday was just like a beautiful spring day. I specially enjoyed it after the unusual bad weather we have been having. After leaving Myers' I stopped in front of Baker's Grocery where Bill was overseeing the unpacking of some fine fish he had just reoelved. They were flounders and had ..already been dressed, ready for the frying pan. The next person I met was Mrs. Manly Morehead, who seemed to be enjoying the fine spring weather. And across the street was Anna Thompson who was also on her way down town. As I turned the comer at the Baptist Church heading for my office, I spied Mrs. Charles Billing and her darling little girl, Ann Mctley, who were also taking a r'rr'i in the sunshine, i' And now here I am at the office, i traveled just a little more nan a block, and here my column is almost complete. This will be the last time you will receive 5 copies of The Herald during February until 1968. I hope that I am still Editor of the newspaper and that every person who reads 'his now will be here and read my I -uiuiTin inon. Kings Mountain, The Historical Town, also has citizens who are historicall named. Benjamin Frank?in Beam is manager of the Jmperltl Life. Insurance Company, and one >f his agents is named Jefferson lavk Hullender. By GEORGE? For some reason or other, glamor .,als disgust me. The score 1b proba Jly even, because if any of the glam ^r gals knew me, 1 suppose I d disgust theui. And after all, what does ii matter what 1 think about feminity? But 1 still got" a say so?and t'm saying it (very emphatically) v.LAjMOR GALS DISGUST ME. I think I've never beheld a more exotic creature than Hedy Lamarr ?and Ann Sheridan is undoubtedly a wee bit of alright ? but they still disgust me. Who in the world, 1 keep asking myself, would want to be hooked onto a glamour gal for life? What would.you do with them after they gft'-'so old that the paint won't fill up wrinkles? It is beyond the bound? of my very limited foresight. Maybe, tho, you could shoot thesn like an old, worn out horse. That would be the next best thing to a divorce ? and a lot less trouble and pain. The word Glamour was always rather vague to me until I looked to see what Webster had to say about It ? and now it's as clear ap look ing through the pool room window to see who's in there. One of the best definitions was: A hase that does not totally obscure objects, but causes them to be seen in an abnormal aspect. That's perfect! It's a beutlful haze that the GGals hide behind. Max Factor and a dozen other experts have worked for yealx mixing it up. It's a perfect mixture of several dime store ingredients, untxed up witjtf vaseline. And look at the wonders it works! t>on't get me wrong. 1 like for gals to use a little make-up ? it helps a lot some time. That is. a little bit ' helps a lot But a lot usually does the littlest bit of good. 1 started to light a cigarette with a gal's finger ngil the other day ? before I onnd ont that it wasn't a lighted match she was holding ? it was her new shade of nail polish. And have you I tasted some of the latest lip-stick? Some of tbe boys tell me it tastes terrible. ' Tbe Undertakers Union will prob ably protest at this column ? and they'd be justified. Just think of the number of men in this country who commit homicide or suicide when they get the first look at their ' bride ? as she really is without all the paint, powder, rouge, lpistick. and otbe Glamour accessories. It's appalling. Ann 8beridan was alright with me before they made a glamour gat out of her ? and they say Hedy was too. Now look at 'Brn. Dogoanlt, I don't Uke optical illusions! What Has Oohb Baroai: Oeorge Milton and Lennie Small art barley backers oh a ranch in the Salinas Valley. Oeorge is the guardian of Lennie, mho is' huge of build and tremendously powerful, but has the mind of a child and is concompulsion to "pet soft things" ? which might be a mouse, a bird, or a girl's velvet dress. Since Lennie cannot control his vast strength when excited, his tnHocoHl habit often leads to trouble. On the ranch the two win the friendship of Slim, the good-natured mule skinner, and they itrik* up a partnership with old Candy, the crippled "swamper", to save for the little farm they dream of otrn,ing. But Curley. the boss's pugnacious son who is constantly jealous over hi* flirtatious young wife, viciously attacks Lennie utki ueuu mm tneroileeity u?HJ Lennie. in panic, >e<?M Ms aecaUanra hand and crushes it to a pulp in Ate vtee-Iike paw. Slim advice* Curiey to mv? Ate fighting reputation by giving out the etory that Ate hand woe caught in ? machine. Curiey agreee. ' * I Chapter Five On Saturday night the boys went into town to tour the saloons and the outlying roadhouses. George went along, but only as an onlooker. A drink of whiskey cost fifteen cents; and Qeorge was obsessed with the thought of how much good planting need for the - H Lcnnie gently, happil little truck garden on his and Lennle's place could be bought for fifteen cents. So Qeorge returned to the ranch early ? yet none too soon. Lennle, as usual, was doing the wrong thing. Not only did he wander out to the barn and visit the forbid aen premises or oia urooKS, tne colored stable buck; worse, ha betrayed' the secret of their dreem place to Crooks, abetted by Candy. While George was ordering Lennie and Candy back to the bunkhouse, Mae, adrift as usual on Saturday night while her husband was In town' on a drunk entered the barn. They tried to drive her away; but Mae, stubbornly bent on finding out what had really happened to Curler's hand, Ignored their Insults and elossly questioned one after the other about Curley. Then she noticed the bruises on Lcnnle's face. "So ? it was you," she said softly. "Well, maybe you're dumb like thay say ? and maybe you're the only guy on the ranqh with nerve. You're a alee fella!'* George would have struck her than and thers for "messln* around" with Lennle, had not old man Jackson passed by and ordered them all out of the barn. e e When Curley returned home, late Sunday morning, from hk all-night drunk, hlg < father told him about Mae's nocturnal visit to the barn. Curley rushed upstairs to administer one of his frequent beatings; but she turned on him In hysterical fury. "Who bust your han', Curley?" she screamed, laughing wildly. "Who bust wrtir ban1?" "X tola you. X caught in la a machine." ^ -Yeah. X teen that machine last night. Why didn't you tell your old man ao ha could can thorn telle re? I'll tall ya why ? 'cauae if ya talked, they'd talk too. An' you were afraid you'd get the horse tough ? like rm glvfn' ya now!" Curtsy's anger turned to cold fury. "X ain't area gonna slug ya. I'm Just gonna sack your junk. You're geton' outa hers. You an' me are through." see The Sunday afternoon horseshoe CHhlng contest was In full swing. I Lennle did not hear the excited shouts and the ooeaslonal clang of a horseshoe against the / I I AA ?r r\\ N< Or Bl |J !tJ i N9liPniPRIHRHRIii -: ' ' ? HUK8DAY, 1TB.

While be sat in the straw, looking dumbly at the little lifeless form In his hands, Mae stealthily crept into the barn. At first she was unaware of Lennie's presence: she had come in, dressed in her beet drees and carrying her cheap ?srtea&~U?tfc4,-wa*.jsu.t?. V^!!:*yV.V.--v rlaar ihnnuh ?h< Mxh nt?. but I remembered ? you foolish little faoe ? you're oomln' with me." When she heard Leunle begin to sob. she went over to him. "Your puppy! He's deed!" "He wee so 111'," whimpered LennJe. "I wes jus' pieyin*. with him ' en* he made like he was coin' to bite me an' I made like I was go In' to smack him ? an' then ne was dead." "Don't you worry none. He was _ just a mutt. To. can get another one easy. The whole country's \ full of mutts." 1 "It ain't that so much. George ' ain't gonna let me tend no rab?. bits, now." Laennie suddenly remembered that Mae was a "pack o' trouble", and n that he was forbidden to talk to her. He made as If to go, but she al blocked his path. She spoke to lb him soothingly. He needn't worry ... about being found talking to her. The horseshoe tournament would C( last all afternoon, and no one 0| would leave it until It was over. At last Mae bad some one to talk P< to, and to the uncomprehending, at scarcely listening Lennie she pour- nl ea out ner urea story; now bar father had been a drunken sign w painter who was "put away" when fa she was a child; how she had wanted to go into the movies, but 10 her mother had intercepted the <?1 c< in 01 B ti ti C( it Ol h ol V P b I' If stroke*? her hair.

But Lennle kept returning to his own woe. "Maybe if I took 8I this here pup an* throwed him . away," he muttered, "George D wouldn't never know. Then maybe tl I could tend the rabbits." ? ''What makes you so goofy about rabbits?" she demanded. c "I like to pet nice things. Once r< at a -fair X seen some of them long hair rabbits. And they was nice, you bet I like to pet nice, fl soft things. Like velvet" 1 "X think you're goofy," she gigfled. "But you're a klnda nice fella. And a person oan klnda see what von mean. Sometimes when I'm doln* my hair X Jus* set there an' stroke it because It's eo soft. Feel there an' see bow soft It is, Lennle. Don't you muss it U'lLennle' gently, happily, stroked her hair. T'Oh, that's nice." He continued passing his fingers over her hair, gradually stroking It harder and harder, then passing his fingers through it. She Jerked her head side ays, shouting Txxjk out, now! You'll muss It!" Frightened by her sudden scream, he tightened his fingers ' convulsively on her hair >and dung to ft. She screamed again. "Please don't .holler," implored Lennle, still hanging on. "George will be mad." Mae scrambled to her feet, and Lennle stood up with her. "Let go! You let go!" she screamed. In wild panic, he damped his ' J big hand over her mouth and held It a moment. When he released her she screamed again, and again he covered her mouth, noising her - tighter and tighter, shaking her a little. She struggled fiercely, kicking off one or her slippers. Then her frightened eyes suddenly became calm, lennle released her. hie fingers still entwined In her hair, arid smiled with relief. "That's right. Don't yell no more. X don't want to hurt you." She stood facing him for another second, her eyes dun, her mouth open. ? Then she slumped to the (To be concluded!
