' FATHER'S DAY Sunday is Fat her s Day and elsewhere in this issue of The Herald w>M be found a joint advertisement from Helk'it. Keeter'suud Myers" inviting local shoppers to buy gifts for Lfttd in Kings Mountain. . This cooperative ad shows that the three department stores have a desire to work together foe the betterment of Kings Mountain as a shopping center. it's a fine spirit and The Ilerald is glad to call attention to it. CITY MANAGER Kings Mountain' is no longer a small town. And the business affairs of The Best Town In The State is big business. In fact it is ju3iubou' the biggest business in town. :i Any business as large as Kings Mountain needs an experienced bus- | loess tnan to manage it. How long would the other businesses last with out soine one man at the head. The Jlerald has long beeb an advocate for a city manager. It is a ! tried and proven plan for a more efficient and economical city government. it's a full size Job, and The Herald will welcomu the day it can announce that a _clty manager has been employed to run the affairs' of . Kings Mountain in a business-like manner. BEST WISHES, CHARLIE Charles Dilling has served as Kings Mountain's Clerk and Treasurer for the past 17 years. lie ha.seen the burdens of the office increase as - Kings Mountain has grown from a small town to a thriving little city. He has kept .pace with the growth of a community. His Job has not been an easy one. HLs positiou has been one that re . celved very little praise but pfentj Of criticism . . . and Charlie has proven that he could "take it." And now. he has been ofTered ano .accepted a more responsible position ? County Auditor ann Tax Suprvisor, with an increase in salary. Charles -Dilling has been promoted and his many friends are con gratulating him on his oppovtunitv of service in' a larger field. TAKE IT EASY Headers of The Herald who have already made up their minds that we MUST get into the war would i do well to read aid re-read what i Con. A- L. Buiwinkle has to say about It. He has been there before, and he is expressing the opinion ot an experienced soldier with the following: - J ' i "1 saw hundreds and thousands of American soldiers killed." he says. "1 saw thousands upon thousands of American soldiers disabled for life. Today in the government hospitals, there are nearly 50,000 disabled American veterans. In .addition " to this, I saw the mothers, slaters, and lammes or tnese men who aiea ?ner I returned to America. I have seen all of the horrors of war. and I am not groin* to permit temporary excitement to carry me away from a calm and deliberate course. 1 saw the coat of War and the cost of the aftermath plied up against this government. and I for one will go a long way to avoid a repitltlon of what we went through in 1917 and 1918.

He frankly admits he doesn't know the outcome of the war, while most other folks ycu talk to have it already figured out, as to exactly the outcome and when the U. S. will enter and all. Postmaster Blakely is as proud of the new post office as Jim Willis will be this evening if the Juniors beat Shelby. That post office is finer to W. E. than the grand central post office in New York City. And you know, I believe I agree with him because the grand central Is in New York and the other is In The Best Town in The State, and that makes a' lot of difference. national college is hard, Indeed.- The sum of $25,000 to a college like Lenolr-Rhyne, Hrskine, Davidson or Wake Forest Is a godsend.

Rue Sampson, attend a party at a night club backed by Cashing, at the invitation of Alma Brehmer. Cooking's official lady friend. Alma is a former sweetheart of Webb's, and he still admits a fondness for her. At the night club Webb rescues Ann Seymour, an attractive naive little entertainer, from the advances of Pete Oodena, the manager. He takes the frightened girl home with him to calm her, and while he i? in the kitchen making coffee she removes her dress to examine the place where Oodena tore it while struggling with her.

"But I bad to take it off, to find out where it was torn." "Come on, Puss, put it on and ' m put you In a taxi." With a little more coaxing he finally got her into the dress and the taxi, with a hundred dollar bill In her paw with which "to pay the taxi bill." "Oft, mr ?

John Webb often wondered, durine long, dreamy hours of unscrambling her misspelled letters and trying to find things In her files, what that point of view might possibly be. He had hired her because her blonde hair and light blue eyes matched the decor of - his office. He could never remember to fire her. Mite Ater, whose domain was the reception room between Webb's and Hub Sampson's private offices, was applying some finishing touches wrth a Upatick when Webb entered. She kept right on apyon don't mind if X take my mail,'* said Webb, reaching over her shoulder for it. "Now look what you made me do," she carped. "Do you want to knock my mouth all crooked?" "There's an idea there," he mused.

"Quiet!" eras Webb's response. "Oet me Mike Daley." He disappeared Into his office. Daley, an intermittent private detective, f?0 time inebriate, and general bandy man for Webb, eras soon located ha hie favorite barroom nearby, and commanded by Webb's telephone to eober up and take on the assignment of shadowing Ann Seymour to eee that no harm came to her at the hands of ill-wishers like, for enample, Pete Oodena and hie associates.

He hastily pushed the knife under home papers. "Anything I can do for you, Miss Ater? Sharpen a few pencils or something?" "N-no. I forgot what I came in for." As she meandered out, a towering wall of dress boxes and hat boxes advanced Into the room, followed by a starry-eyed young girl of eighteen years and two months. "Surprise!" squealed Ann happily. "I've been shopping. You'll go craxy when you see the dress I bought!" She started to unwrap one of the boxes. "Look, Puss, I've got work to do," protested Webb. But Ann, unheeding, rummaged amid the papers on his desk for something with which to cut the package string, and found the knife. Briskly she opened the boat and unpacked her. new dress, while Webb slipped the knife into a drawer. "Want to see it on me?" caroled Ann. "It has big pleats ?

This pledge very obviously war, not just words, for the President himself reported to a press confer* ence that he saw no need for the government to control prices because prices are being held down to reasonable levels. In other Words, industry has pledged its best egorts to see that there shall be no profiteering and there is none. Other news, however, points up a surprising contrast to this. Ln Kearny, N. J., 5,000 shipyard workers went on strike for higher wages. They held up the construction of four warships badly needed by the fleet. Reports reaching Washington also said that all machinists In the Seattle area except those employed by the Boeing Aircraft Company were out on strike. It was added that the union machinists' contract with Roe Ing expires soon apd that unless higher wages are granted there the strike will extend soon into that national defense industry too. Some Washington legislators, stirred by these reports, are expressing this view: Labor unions have been granted new privileges in recent years. If they do not know how to use these privileges, and If ' they cannot accept the responsibilities which go with the privileges. then perhaps the privileges .should be withdrawn or the responsibilities made mandatory by law. In short, they say, if laboij unions don't cooperate willingly, then they should be forced to do so. Some of them are talking about forbidding strikes in national defense Industries. .

For example, both Senate and House leaders said on.a Friday that there would be no tax hill this session of Congress, On the following Monday morning, chairmen of the Senate and House tax committee* agieed with the Treasury to push a' lax hill through. Speaker Bankhead and Majority leader Rayburn of the House did not know of this agrees ment until reporters told them. Fu rthermore,. the tax bill's size was agreed upon without any khowl edge that the President three days later would ask another biljion dollars for national defense. An interesting but important fact ip that the . new tax bill therefore will fall far short of even paying for nationl defense, much lesB meeting the cur rent deficit in other fields. This year's defense bill will be around five billion dolars. The ordinary deficit is almost three and a half billions. Yet the new tax bill will raise less than 700 million a year. Thus it would be' five years be fore the tax bill would raise enough money to pay off this year's deficit much less the national defense expenses. It looks as though the current tax bill is simply a stop gap. The really bad news will descend after election.
