WE ARE PROUD ... ^ j
We are proud of The Kings Moun
tain School Band. Director Paul E.
; Hendricks.,and the citizens* of The
Best Town In The Stale in the accomplishments
achieved last week
in West Palm Beach, Florida. It
took all three to make, a winner
combination that could comete and
win una-usi mc most outsiauaing 1
bands in the South.
If the same spirit of eo-operotlon
oouUl prevail in other civls matters
as it does when the band is men
laned, Kings Mountain could attain
goals just as outstanding in othefields.
We are proud of the band, and
say in our loudest manner: CON
GRATULATIONS.
THE NEIGHBORLY WHANG
Did you ever hear of a good oldfashioned
whang? It was a very ne
gfcborly affair and enjoyed in thai
because of U the dread of some bit
of tiresome work was eliminated.
In the early days of our colonies,
it was the custom for neighbors to
Join forces when some work was
done. This was ecpeciaily true when
soap had to be made, quilts tied,
carpeits sewed, and apple buttermade
for the homes and when the
crops were gathered and wood cut
on the farm.
If only a couple of neighbors help
ed each other in this way li was often
referred to as change work, and
we stUI find this going on in the
miinlrv trxtiev Hilt wh?n a larn
number of men or women got together
to do some heavy work It
was called a "whang."
Juat when this odd term originated
la not known, although it war
more oommonly used In New Eng
land than anywhere else; but the
original of the term Itself was in
49.11c f.*tn*s " that, were eepeoiaJly I
dreaded when one householder had
to do them alone. The amnual
houaecleaning waa nearly always
called a whang, as shown by an old
diary that says, "Wont about yo
usual summer cleaning, whanging
ye dirt and culeh away from ye
floors and beds."
Another adcount 'mentions, "Net*
gWbdr Allen car..e In with dauters
, and frende and we all had a whang,
cleaning ye house of all wastrel
With no distress."
Usually at a whang everybody
got busy with a right good will and
each had his part to do in cleaning.
Them at noon, a substantial meal
was served and plans were made to
return the compliment and have a
whang somewhere else within a few
days. By so assisting one another,
none felt over-tired when the work
was accomplished and dkf not
dread going to the neighbors to helo
Later the term "Whang" referred to
any particularly Irksome task done
by a company of people.?Exchange.

to Florida.
Fred Rudieill, a native of Kings
Mountain, dropped ua a letter the
ether day requesting us to add his
name to Herald subscribers, and
conveying this bit of information:
"Don't know whether vol. want
to make a story out of this for this
-v.cek's?edrtior., -Aufc?fec! quite sureit
will be of interest to the 'OI'
Home Town Fans.' You possibly
knew that Horace, known to musical
fans as 'Rudy,' has been with
Jan Garber's orchestra for the .last
eighteen years. Well, Jan is present
ing him with a new band of his own
at Tom Oevine'e Music Hall in InMay
17th, and going from there for
an engagement at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Know that the relatives and
his old friends will be glad tn know
of his new venture and wishing him
success."
Stopping before the Gazette Office
in Gastonia recently, I had to wait
on the opposite side of the street
until four cars passed. A striking
feature of this incident was the fact
thaat 3 out of the 4 cars were occupied
by Kings Mountain persons,
namely: J. O. Panther, of the Kings
Mountain 8hoe Shop, Sage Fulton
and Less Steward.
Add to your lift of smooth salesmen,

But Slant, who secretly desires

Tina Nolan's telephone conversation
continued for quite awhile.'
In fact, it went on and on, while
the two girls fumed, and Mary
began calling out comments to
him through the booth door. Meanwhile
they saw an empty cab
draw up in front of the drug store,
t
Slant's amiMtU warning I
nod made a rush for It; they ran
a poor second to the sailor and
his girl who climbed in.
When they returned to the booth,
Its occupant was lust emerging.
"See what you done!" Mary berated
him. "You and Morley sure
fixed us up. It's going to b? hours
eefore I get home. Say, you got s
ear?"
The young men looked st them
curiously. "Yes"
"Whet shout s lift? After *11. it's
your fault?"
He graciously offered them a
lift anywhere they might desire
to go, and led the way to a dinky
little station wagon parked outside.
Brands declined the .favor,
but Mary climbed aboard, said
good night, and was on her way
home.

The telephone awoke Brenda a
few hours later. It was Tim Nolan,
who said he felt that he simply
must report to her that her friend

"It was quite an experienoe ?
I'm sure you'd be amused at the
details Could X give them to you
at luncheon tomorrow?. ..I see.
How-about dinner then?"
Brenda declined, firmly though
politely "No, thank yon . . . Tea,
that's quite definite. Goodbye."

with an epie headache, and reKrted
that her bom bad fired

"I suppoee you told him where

"Absolutely not! He tried ? but
that's the one thing I held out on."

A delivery boy entered the vestibule,
rang Hrenda's bell, and addressed
the speaking tube. "Package
for Miss Bentley.'
Nolan whispered to his dog. "Go
on, Smitty. Follow that guy."
Smitty's forte was obedience. He
sauntered Into the apartment at
the'heels of the delivery boy; and
Brenda found herself In possession
of a great Dane with the legend
on his collar plate: "My name is

When Tim Nolan presented himself
at Brenda'c apartment in response
to her telephone call, she
was outraged to see who it was.
"Why, of all the petty, conniving
? "
"I know, I know. It's collegiate
and underhanded, but you forced
me to it. Mind if I sit down? I'm
exhausted. Do you realize this
maneuvering has taken up practically
my entire morning?"
"Didn't I make it definite last
night?"
"Very definite. Come away, Smitty.
Miss Bentley doesn't like us."
But before they left, he suggested
to Smitty that he kiss the
lady goodbye. In the resulting
tangle of dog and girl, which
caused Brenda to collapse with
helpless laughter, Nolan resumed
his eeat. He kept it for quite
awhile...
'All the way out to. the, flying

had been talking about planes,

When they drove onto the field

a short distance away. Nolan
led her over to the plane, from
which a Trench Army officer emerged.
Two or three other Trench
officers and a couple of American
officers joined them.
To Brenda'a amazement, all betas
congratulating Nolan fervently
uoon the performance of the plane.
The frenchmen spoke to him anxiously
about delivery of a oouple
of hundred from his plant. - All
agreed that it was the fastest
thing they had yet seen in the air.
Brenda looked at him. for the
first time really Impressed. "This
is quite a discovery, Mr. Station

Come on. X want to show you

He propelled her to a ship that

insisted on showing her the Interior.

a many-page letter from Sa

The Senate promptly, voted to give
$45,600 to Saposs and his economic

A lot of fuss has been raised too
by efforts of federal agents to put a
new farm credit bill through Congress.
The purpose is to cut farm
mortgage Interest rates to three per
cent. The trouble^ is that the govern
ment has to borrow the money to
lend to fhe farmers, and it can't get
that money at 3 per cene. So whether
the farmers know It or not,
lower uteres* to them would mean
more taxes on them or on the people
who buy farm produce.
Nevertheless, the c**intry has
been flooded with letters and pamphlets
urgng that the proposal become
law.
Aniother lobbyist campaign of a
still different. kind Is being used by
fhe United States Housing Authority.
Congress last session refused to
appropriate $800,000,000 for U8HA.
So the press agents went to work.
NViw, USHA at every conceivable
opportunity issues press releases
naming the cities and towns where
projects would be built if the money
were available. They point out
that "only $48,000,000 remains available
for USHA projects."
The object, ,of course, is to get
people in these various towns and
