WHAT WE SAY
If all that ?c say in a single day.
With never a word left out,
We rt> printed ,ca?-h night in clear
black and white.
'.Twouid prove queer reading, 110

And then, just suppose, ere out
eyes we could close,
We 111 Ust read the whole record

Then wouldn't we sigh, and would
not wO try
A great deal less talking to do?
And 1 more than half think that
many a kink .
Would 'a; smoother in life's tang'

If half that we say In a .-Angle day
Were Iclt forever unsaid.

RED CROSS QUOTA
OVER THE TOP
Once again the Citizens of "Th<
tUwt Tnu-ti In 'Ph.. Clint,." ,i. f'i
commended.
Once again. in Uic face of a great
emergency, the jwiople of our town
have come through. voluntarily, to
aid ;i great cause. With one of the
greatest war,* of all times raging In
Europe, .tanking thousands upon
thousands of people homeless, and
wounding even more thousands, th?
Amerlca'n lied Cross again found it
necessary to ask us, here in America.
to help those people. Kings
Mountain was asked to raise a definite
amount, as was every town.
It. is gratifying to note that Kings
Mountain's quota was raised Saturdap.
while several nearby towns are
having great trouble raising theirs
event though their sum might be
even smaller -in proportion than
ours.
We will not call four hundred dol
v ars a great amount, but neither w.i
wo say thait It was a "Small sum.'
Ajnyway, when those, booths wei
put out Saturday, it looked like i.
more pittance.
So, congratulations!
AMERICA AND THE WAR
iThe turn taken by the war in Rurope
has shocked America, and the
Americas. The republics in the sou
thern continent, spine of which hao
been suspected of being friendly tc
the Nazis, have been even more out
spoken in condemning the invasion
of Holland and Belgium thin, have
any United States officials.
li is with horror that the western
hemisphere views Hit'iet's ruthlei|i
assault on peaceful neutral nations
which had 'leaned over backward"
in an efTort to preserve their neutrality.
Nothing that has ever hap'
pened in Europe, not even the. German
invasion of Belgium in 1914, has
aroused on this side of the Atlanticno
deep a feeling of resentment.
There has come, also a definite
fear. Fear of our Involvement; fear
of the possibility that Germany's
great war machine will overrun wes
tern Europe and threaten the lands
. which previously had regarded the
Atlantic as their Sure protection.
For this was ie a netf kind of war,
with huge, powerful, swift-flying, far
flying airplanes dropping not only
bombs but soldiers, armament , and
munitions.
A war conducted on the scale of
the last few days, and with such
spiced, probably on n not last long.
It seems likely that either Germanv
wjii cmsn p'rance ana pjugmna inthe
next few months, if not in the
next few weeks, or that her resources
will be exhausted and compel
her to stop her now terrific onslaught.
It must be remembered that the
Allies are a mighty people. They
have not lived, as have the Germans
with conquest their main purpose,
and therefore were not prepared as
was Germany for an encounter s>
(treat. But they can fight, and are
willing to do so as are their enemies.
It may be that their strategy,
thourth involving present losses, is
designed to let the Germans spend
themselves completely before meeting
them with the full force of their
power. If is inconceivable that. German
might and the resources required
to prosecute a large scale
war are inexhaustible.
But whatt the future holds le unpredictable.
We here must "wait

War,
War, War that'a about all
you hear now, every where I go In
. every etore and on every corner
everyone ia talking WAR. Every
pereon who came Into my office yesterday
had something to say about
the war before they left. And everyone
has a different idea about it. A
merchant: "The Allies will win. just
1 let the Germans start across the
^ channel, and the British will fill the
water full of dead Germans." A law- !
yer.-"**l would not-Unsurprised to see
the Allies sign an armistice within
ten days to keep Psris and London N
from being destroyed, and to stop
further bloodshed." A preacher:
'We should send all the aid to the
Allies without sending men. it wilL
be better to help now, than te protect
ourselves later." A Business
what to do with Hitler, he has them
confused, but thav will get him in
the end. if they can hold on long
enough." City Official, "It looks bad
but Hitler will be stopped.' - These
1 give you some idea of how Kings
Mountain citizens are talking.
I used to have lots of fun looking
for "Pretty Sights" but finally ran
t out of any to publish, but lately I
have seen several; among them,
the sunken gardens of Mrs. S. A.
Mauney, the rustic bridges across
the branch in the front yard of
Byron Keeter's, and Jim Wiliis'
smile when Jim, Jr. caught two line
drives for two outs in the Legion
hall game Tuesday.
Sad as It is, the time has come
again for the feminine teachers to
depart from our midst for their well
earned vacations. Of course, several
of the men about town will be lonesome
for a while, but summer will
be over and the fair-ones wi'l
return.

plans;- Congress may ' appropriate
the money. But only American industry
can turn out the airplanes
and guns and tanks and trucks and
ammunition to make the plans effective.
Despite the handicaps under
which it has been operating, industry
has given public assurances
that it will do its utmost. Airplane
manufacturers for example, already
can pro dure twice as many airplanes
as tliey could a year ago.
And they are ready to- increase tha;
production swiftly,.
Interesting are the Army and
Navy demands for relaxation of exist'ng
' laws whit)) restrict indu-stri
al operation.' Interesting, too, is the
President's disclosure of plans for
the government to advance or lenfi
money for tile construction of new
plants. . .
Some legislators who are considering
these proposals now begin to
wonder how wise their past course
has been.
They are asking themselves questions
like these: If the existing restrictions
are so heavy that they
handicap and slow the production
of war materals, haven't they also
been heavy enough to retard the
production of things we needed for
normal, peace-time prosperity? It it
is necessary for the government to
advance money to build new plants,
shouldn't sctmetibing have been
done years ago to encourage new
plants to produce peace-time goods'
These legislators see little basic
difference In the production of " a
tank and an automobile. Removal
of restrictions, they say. is being
pushed by the government because
the nation new needs new tanks In
a hurry at low prices. Is'nt it there
fore apparent, they ask, that the na
tion WOiild have been better off If it
had {had m'f-e automobiles Available
at lower price*?
Interesting:, also, to many solona
was a peculiar coincidence. Within
