THE SMALL TOWN
"A small town is a plage ' where
we don't brag about our faiths, hopes
or our ^hari|cs, where reputation
aud character mean the same

more esteemed than front, where
we stand up for our rights rather
than sit down for them, where a
neighborhood Is 100 miles long and
neighborllness loo miles deep,
where a friend indeed doesn't wait

WHO'S GOING TO
8ACRIFICE WHAT?
The American people, driven by
the need (or military security, must
build a military establishment costly
beyond all precedents: An Incredible
proportion of the national Income
must be taken from tbe pockets
of the people and diverted to
government. All of us will have fewer
luxuries. All of us must conservr
All of us must sacrifice.
That is clear enough and reasons
ble enough. But It has become tragically
plain that a very substantial
portion of the American people
have the idea that the other fellow
should 'make most, if not all of the
sacrifices. It's the other fellow's
standard of living which should suf
fer. not their own. It's the other
fellow who should pay the bill anl
do the work, while they go on much
as they did before.
Those who have gone on government
relief as a career favor sacrifice,
too?so long as it doesn't
touch relief appropriations. The
government, under the guise of "relief."
still pays out millions for leaf
raking, boondoggling and other com
pletoly non-productive activities.
Powerful influences demand that
not one nickel of this waste be eliminated,
no matter how much othore

the menace the country faces. \
The professional politicians tall?
much of sacrifice, in noble words.
But It Is a rare politician who Is
willing to sacrifice one thin dime of
patronage that might cost a vote, to
support a principle. Money still goes
out for farm relief schemes foredoomed
to failure?for unnecessary
tax-built and tax-subsidised govern
ment electric plants, for govern-,
ment credit schemes of all kinds,
and for a thousand and one purposes
which are In no way a true function
of government, hut which ars
prolific sources of votes and powett
The self-seeking hand of politics
handicaps a real defense program

I'll wager that it is the only town
in the world anywhere near it's size
that had two families to visit Alaska
about the same time. The same
week that Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Mauney
were on their way to the distant

Mayor J. B. Thomasson is sporting

I noticed Moffett Ware late yester
day afternoon on his way home from
work, and believe me he looked all
tuckered out. He had a good excuse
though, said he had been harvesting
wheat all day.
Interest has already begun in the
Duke-Carolina football game even
though it is not to be played until

rabid football fans have already
bought their tickets and chartered

EDITOR HERALD: ?
1 will appreciate space in your
paper to correct a wrong impression
According to an editorial in a neighboring
paper, the trouble with
safety on the highways and streets
is Iac)^ of enforcement on the part
ot "city and county policemen and
state patrolmen." I think the opinion
expressed in tliis editorial is wrong
I The trouble is not with the arrest|
ing officers but with the courts. It
| is most embarrassing to officers to
make arrests and then have the accused
turned scot free. Officers
soon get in the frame of mind,
"what's the use, they'll be freed
| anyway. To remedy the problem,
court officials will have to co-operate
Closer W|it>h ari^estfng offvdletrat
because it is a known fast that officers
will not make arrests unless
they are reasonably sure of convictions.
I, want to repeat, the trouble is
not with the officers but with a lack
I of co-operation on the part of court
officials in securing convictions.
Yours truly,
-A CAR DRIVER.
I "Lions To Play Baseball

Plans are being made to invite the
Kings Mountain School Band t?
march and play to add color and
pep to the occasion. The local club
will receive all the money- from tic
ltets sold to Kings Mountain fans.
A return game will be played in
Kings Mountain during the first
part of September Transportation
will be furnished any persons from
here desiring to see the game. Ptm?
plete details and the llne-.up for the
game will be published In the next
issue of The Herald,
which would get maximum results
with a minimum of waste of time

Who Is going to sacrifice whatThat
is the question that America
faces today, If national security la

answer is plain. All must sacrifice,
all must contribute their full share.

angrily. "I've had enough of that!
In Yorkshire, in that great dreary
tomb of a house, I felt that money
waa the only thing that could give
me ? give me a ride over the
moon. Now I'm going to take it!"
"You can't ride alone over the
moon," he Said softly. "Can't we
try It together?"
She was startled. "Together?"
"Why not? I'm the only man
who can love you for yourself ?
you're the only girl who could love
me for what I am and not for
what I have."
"But love doesn't go by logic," ?
she said slowly. Her eyea wandered
to the photograph of Freddie

He watched her. "Who'a that

"A man who refused to marry
me ? because he thought I had
too much money." He looked at
her intently. "You still love him,"
he Said. "Does he love you?"
"I don't know, John..." Sud- <
denly she was deliberate. "He's in
Switzerland, and that's where I'm
foing ? to settle it one way or
ihe other!"
"For my sake, I hope it'll be
the other/'
e
Jane had a number of revealing
moments when she came to Freddie's
"clinic" In the Alps. The lovely
ladies of the place were agog
over Freddie and not at all reticent.
She went to his chalet, and
he was amaied and delighted to
see her. Jane was breathless, but
not long In coming to the point.
"Freddie," she said earnestly,
"don't you think it's time somebody
tidied up the mess in your
life? And. in mine?"
"No, Jane" he replied. "It'shopeleea
Tou know you've changed
an awful lot since you left Yorkshire.
But X haven't. I'm Just

The temper reged. "Struggling
doctor?" eke scree mod. "You're the
dtoine Dr. Jarviel AH the ladles
ImHst on having you. and gegaga ,
every time you touch them!" She
was furious now, "Oh, yes, the /
nurses have toM me, and so have
the so-called patients in the socalled
Dispensary! Talk about a
Monte Carlo night' club!"
"And whose fault is it that I'm
in that hateful place?" he countered.
-Tour beastly millions/ I'm

"Then why don't you leave?" ,
"Well, I've signed a contract."

mlcked. "You like H. You love
