A GOOD JOB
Tre Herald is always happy to
give credit where credit is due. And
credit is due Town Officials for tin,
excellent Job they have done on collecting
taxes. Iiacli year the delinq'tmt
tax list is published in the Her
aid, and the one recently, printed
was, by far the shortest'list in many
vears. The length of the list de
torhiines * how many had already
paid, and through diligent work on
' the. past of the' present administration
most had paid, so the list was
small.
And we all know if all the t,axen
could be collected, the rate could
he lowered. so every citizen of
Kings Miuntain should tratik those
in charge of collecting, such a large
percentage of the taxes due.
Lots of people do not iust- walk
tip and pay. they have to be shown
frat those In charge of the collecting
the taxes mean business. and
that's exactly what has happeened. .
Congratulations. Town Officials,
keep up the good work.'"on have al

THE AESTHETIC
When the late. Mrs. Sally P. Williamson,
o\- Chicago, gave $50.00 a
number of years ago to help beautb
fy our campus little did' we realize
that the crepe myrtles' which were
placed here and there In places discernable
both from the inside and
the outside of our grounds would
grow to be such lovely trees as we
have seen during these late summer
and early autumn days; These trees
together with many shrubs and fell
flowers have produced a riot, of color
that harmonizes with the fast
changing leaves on our many trees,
particularly the maples

tor our own eyes, that Is to' say, the
eyes of both students and staff, as
well as visitors, one is bound to
Jeel that boys who live here for
weeks and months, and some for
years, will [n time to come. when
they have their own homes, simply
demand of themselves and of their
wives to make their own homes
comely. Impressions gained thus in
childhood are beyond measure.
There are some who fail tl observe.
Others keep their eyes unconscious

them being fed day by day. It la
hoped that other friends of this
School wilt see fit to add their recognition
to this and similar influences
which can be in\ulcated In
the hearts and minds o four boys in
training here. It Is hoped in the future
that our boys will be taught
the names of trees and shrubs and
flowers as an elemental part of
their education, as a necessary contributlin
to these things which help
to sweeten and beautfy every day

'.GOD BLESS AMERICA"
.Many a resident goes about yhlst
ling a song that pleases his fancy.
It isn't a love-sick ditty'or a jtler
Jig but a patriotic air that is catchy
and stirring. It reoeutly caught the
nntion's fancy when it played an im
port an i part in both of the political
campaigns. The song was written in
l!il7 when Irving Berlin composed
it tor a patriotic musical shoy. How
ever, it went to sleep and nothing
was heard from it until Kate Smith
gave it life and feeling on a radio
broadcast on Armistice evening tr.
1938. ''God Bless America" is ' now
sung with fire and fervor and seems
to be a national anthem. Due to the
radio this air is . popularized to such
an extent that it really does ring,
''From the mountains, to the pralrlo<4
Tn the nrnnnn with fnnna '
It easy for any voice to handle^
and this helps make it a hit.
With the many stores selling lapel
pins of colored American flags,
of ladies bracelets of small flags;
fastened by chains,- of emblems for
coats bearing the words, "God Bless
America." we are having a wave
of patriotism that isn't all hysterical.
This song is sung, in public assemblies,
open air meetings, baseball
games, band concerts. Perhaps
you did not know that Irving Berlin
gets no money as profit from the
tot rai
Here and There .

1 office, a near riot.
v Chapter Five
With Tim Willows in- what was
apparently a most curious condition
of sex and personality, the
dull moments at the office of Willows,
Manning & Clare became
few. and very far between. And
they dropped completely from sight
after Mr. Pingboom, the swisher,
came in to see Tim. Phil Manning
had promised Mr. Pingboom
'.hat he could.
But, as far as Phil knew, Tim
!
Hp'
"What'a come' over you t" Ph
was still very much against . seeing
Mr. Pingboom and having him
stamp his little toot on the office
carpet. He tried to stall the little
man, as It were. But Joel, wearing
a very urgent face, stormed in
to say that Tim had just come
in, and?so Mr. Pingboom decided
to walk right in and see him, no
matter what.
He did. And it turned out very,
very well. When Phil followed
into Tim's office, be found the two
"men" engaged in warm, pleasant
talk. Pingboom was bright-eyed and
quite happy. Tim, on the other
hand, began to berate Phil, "forkeeping
Mr. Pingboom away from
me.
Phil, atong with Bannister and
Joel, took it all in with complete
bewilderment. But it Was all only
just beginning.
They were all called in to see
the new layotft for men's "No-Flap
No-Breeze" underwear, which at
the moment was being worn by
two handsome maje models. Tim
flushed, putting his head to his
mouth to stifle a highly feminine
reaction. He was most embarrassed.
And, what was more, he
was asking Joel Clare for his
opinion on things. It was all most
amazing.
When they came to a bfach layout
(objective: to sell bathing
. ults), things took an even more
i-regular turn. There were a
-.Timber of pretty girls sitting
.:?out, and one very stunning daffiie',
in the briefest costume, was
<n the foreground. Tim walked
over to where she sat
xTW.i W. _.ls if ? _ia a
iu? mining *un, urn Bignw,
'Is perfectly stunning." He begnn
a feel the suit. In tne vicinity of
e shoulder strap. "This Is the
lost divine texture I've seen this'
..car," he went on. "So chic!"
And then the pretty model
jlapped him?hard.
"I don't care who you are!' ehe
iald. "I don't have to take that!"
"But Z was Just interested fat the
' material," Tim objected.
"Oh, yeah? Listen, we got a
tuild ? we dont have to put up
with that stuff any taoreP* The
ther girls Joined In. "We'll picket
'he Joint! Report him to the
hoardi He cant do that to us..."
they stormed Irately. Tim backed
array.
"Say.. .what's come over you?"
Phil said quietly to him. "And
during business hours!"
"Why...t?I Just forgot myself,
I guess...I'll?be in my office, If
you need me. And ha swirled out.
When I to earns Into Tim's
office, and gave him a vigorous

And she slid down like a fireman
on his way to a four-alurm
blaze.
Meanwhile, Mr. Marlowe ? the
Pineapple Juice king was being
caught in the net which Tim Willows,
In the original, had prepared.
The old boy was threatening
to take away his account, and
Phil and Joel, were with him in a
swanky hotel, for lunch. Tim, for
some reason, came late. And his
attitude was most inexplicable.
"How do you, Mr. Marlowe," he
said in a verv formal, light-pitched
voice. "Isn't this a strange place
for a business conference?"
"It doesn't matter, Tim," Marlowe
said, with a look at his
^9 r

II said. "And in the officeI"
watch., "I'm afraid I can't wait
for lunch. Ring me at the hotel
tomorrow."
Joel beckoned frantically, for the
act to go on. To do something,
save something.
Dixie Gale, accompanied by the
model who was her partn> . in the
act, ran tip to Tint and threw her
arms around his' neck.
"Timmie, dahllng!" she gurgled.
"Of all people!" Marlowe, (tearing
the sound of a feminine voice,
stopped in his tracks and straightened
his tie. "Phil and Joel!" Dixie
went on. "It's simply wonderful
seeing y'all again!" Marlowe waa
smiling now, and Phil got up to
make the introductions.
"This is Mr.' Marlowe . . . Mr.
Julian Marlowe," he began. "And
this is Dixie Gale?Tim's sister-inlaw.
She's from Georgia And this
is Miss Lorraine Morritt, of Savannah."
Dixie cuddled close. "You mean
you're the Julian Marlowe, the big
Pineapple King?" she said sweetly.
"Well, I have canned a few?"
the old boy began.
"Why, simply everybody back
home knows about you, Mr. Marlowe,"
Lorraine smiled. "They call
you the Empire Builder, dQn't
they?"
"I must say I consider it a
great compliment that my name
should be familiar to two such
charming ladies!"
"Familiar?" said Dixie. 'Why
verybody in our town seea your
ad vert tain', Mr. Marlowe. You muat
Juat apand thousands of dollars
very year. I expect! Oh, Mr. Marlowe?Ah'm
ao impressed! Timmie,

"Don't you Timmy, darling*
me!" Tim said. "My wife never
had a slater, and if aba did aha
wouldn't look like you." i
Phil waa flabbergasted. "Always
S great kiddsr, that Tim?" he
sailed wanly to Marlowe. "He kills
mei"
. "Thlg. la obviously a frame-up!"
Marlowe stormed. "I think in the
future I ah afl be able to put my
advertising in ths hands of someone
with a higher sense of business
ethics! Good day!" And be
left.
"PhiL haven't you ever heard of
a little thing .sailed business
ethics?" Tim demanded righteously.
"Haven't X! Are you out of your
mind. This was your idee!"
Phil end Joel, a bit later, took to
drink. A good deal of drink.
"'Sterrible thing..." Joel walled.
"No more Wanning, CUlows and
