EVERY DAY North Carolina's Thanksgiving day- will eonie on November 28 as proclaimed by, Governor Hoey. a week later than the day designated toy President Roosevelt, but that's all right. Go ahead and celebrate tooth days if you feel that way. The Way things are across the oceans, contrasted with the < shape things are in America, in the United States and in North Carolina, a person would be justified in observing two Thanksgiving days or a week or a month of them. Every day is a thanksgiving day over here, provided one has the wit to perceive it and the humility to acknowledge it. It is not necessary in understanding this to make a comparison of Europe and America, of a French province and North Carolina, of London and Charlotte. Even a child knows the difference. The Governor in his proclamation wrote that "America has b*en blessed beyond toer deserts." It Is true. We don't de aerve it but such is the case. So observe all the thanksgiving days you desire and still the giving of thanks can't be overdone.?Charlotte Observer. ONCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time there wan a nan, who lived In a town, and spent all his money away from home, He was sure that he could take care of himself and that his town didn't mean anything to him. After a few yeara, his business -was not as keen as he had hoped It would be, his friends didn't seem to think he was quite as Important as he thought he was. and trade seemed to flow by his doors. He began to watch his competitor, who he found was an Intelligent advertiser, a contributor to the public purse, a man anxious to give some of h's time and thought to community projects, and a believer in the fact that is pays to keep money at home, where it .can keep floating around between 'the stores and businesses there. And. after noting alt these factors he continued to wonder why some of his old customers went 10 the newcomer, and why almost everybody had the Idea that he was a tightwad and his competitor a publlc-eplrlted leader of community life.

Traveling 58 miles on a rural route that extends some 5 or 18 miles from Sleep Eye. Ollle Neudeclter Friday contacted 16 families who were not subscribers to the Herald-Dispatch. Seven of them said they read the taper regularly at the home of par nts or- neighbors. That is one of the striking differences between newspaper and hand bills. The paper is passed front haltd to hand, evpn from family to family, remains somewhere about the house ready for reference for three or four days after It is receivod. , J Quite frequently the handbill is passed front the mail-box to the waste basket or the kitchen stove.

OONT'S FOR HUNTER8 Many people would be alive today had all hunters been careful with firearms. Here ?rb a |ew suggestions to prevent tragedies on hunt tng tripe: 1. Treat your gun with the respect of a loaded gun. . 2. Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, intc your automobile, camp or home. 3. Always be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. 4. Always carry your gun so you can control the direction of the niuzzle even if you stumble. 5. Be sure of yoifr< target before you pull the trigger. 6 Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 7. Never leave your gun unattend ed unless you unload tt first. 8. Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded gun. 9. Never shoot at a flat, bard surface or the surface of water. 10. Po not mix gunpowder and alcohol. For every dollar paid to atockhold trs last year, railroads of this coun try paid nearly threw dollars In taxes. 'HE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. Improper Passing: On Highways ".North Carolina needs a Marshal Foch to tell motorists that 'they shall not pass.' " Ronald Hocutt, director of the Highway Safety Divis ion. declared this week in commenting on the fact that several pe?fla were' killed in the State last month as a result of improper passing on the highways. Hocutt said close to 30 persons have been killed lr. North Carolina this year as a i rit of passing or attempting to pass on curves, 'on the crests of hills, at intersections and -at other places where common sense should have told them it was "Knowing where to pass is impor tant, but it Is just as Important if not more so to know when to pass and how to pass,' llocntt said.

I P'oJ I DhtcttJ by v\uVl ' "MADE FOR EACH OTHER" Chapter One Now York's busy streets, the bright sunshine, the roar of traffic, the hurrying throngs, were not for Johnny Mason. Not on - this day of days. He might have been silting on a pink cloud somewhere in space, gazing raptly- at the photograph he carried in bis hand. He was a detached island, moving down the sidewalk along the line of least resistance, stopping from time to time for another look at the young, blonde beautiful dream that was his. He almost forgot he was headed for the law firm of Doolittle, Messerschmldt, Doolittle r>nd Hutch, his employers. Had it not been for a collision with a short, squat individual, Johnny might have wandered on, alone with his dream. The collision brought him back to earth just long enough to enter the right building and take the elevfltor nnafalra By the time he reached the austere offices where he struggled toward what he hoped would be a partnership In the firm, the rosy glow had returned. This time the spell was broken by a bombardment of questions from the office staff. They rushed at him from all sides. "How did you meet her?" "What's she like?" "Blonde or brunette?" Johnny was trying to answer them all at once, when he heard the cold voice of Judge Doollttle, which brought instant silence. _.f... - M "We're married," seid Jama. "kfaeon!" Jimmy turned to face the judge. Doollttle stood, frowning, la the doorway oT KU t.il Md forbidding. HI* bud was adorned by a mechanical hearing device, attached to his right ear. "What's all this fuss?" demanded the judge. "I ? they ? somehow or other they all found out ? while I was in Boston ? " "What were you doing In Boston?" "I ? well ? I got the deposition on Higgine against Hlggfns," "WelT, prompted the judge, "then what's all this horseplay about?" Johnny gulped. Then, summoning up nls courage, he blurted but the news. "I ? I got married!" Doollttle, nls sour expression unchanged, beckoned Johnny Into his (.nice. He sat down, glanced at Johnny, then stared at a photograph on his desk, on which was written the words, "To Father, with love, Bunlce.' The full significance of the stare hit Johnny. Several times he had escorted the judge's daughter to theatres and night clubs. His bwn mother more than once hinted at an engagement. "I imagine this will be a surprise to some people," observed Doollttle. Johnny didn't have to guess his meaning. Almost desneratsiy Johnny tried to explain how he met Jane on Boston Common. "Jane ? Mrs. Mason ? my wifs ? that Is, she wasnt my wife then ? but she Is now. I got^the cinder out of her eye and "You married her," Doollttle concluded for him. "Judge Doollttle, we knew the minute we looked at each other?' The judge interrupted with a stentorian pronouncement. "last year there were elm >*t half a million divorces In this countrv."

Johnny tried to get six weeks off for a honeymoon to Europe. But Judge Doolittle didn't believe in honeymoons in the first place, and in the second place, the Hlggins vs. Hlggins case- was on the calendar next week. Johnny explained be had been promised a continuance. He wound up by accepting two weeks, without a struggle. This news Johnny carried to his bride when he met her at a beauty parlor an hour later. Only be didnt' tell her all at once. "Well ,you see, 1 didn't exactly get six weeks," he said slowly. "Of course, If I'd insisted ? " Jane, seated in a chair, receiving a facial from a red-ahlred beauty operator, ghessed the truth. "How many, darling?" After a long pause. "I ? I compromised on two." "We'll take in everything ? only quicker," Johnny hastened to add. ,TAfter all, Howard Hughes went around the world in four days ? and It will help with mother." Jane sat bolt upright. "What'U help with mother?" "Well," said Johnny, "we won't have to leave her alone so long." Something In the back of Jane's mind began to flash a warning. "Johnny," she asked' quietly, "what did your mother say when you phoned her thlp morning?" "I Just sort of broke the ice," Johnny confessed. "How much ice did you break?" ?T _ T <* ?* Ua. x-?? !p x x?juoi?iuiu mn errorwiiue 11 was in Boston I ran into sevI era! people ? " The warning signal in Jane'i u I Mr*.

Without pausing In her work, the beauty operator, bending over Jane's face, muttered, "Oh oh!" Jane felt like a lamb led to slaughter when at last she was taken by Johnny to meet her new mother-in-law. She agreed with him the news should be broken gently, but she couldn't think how. At first glance, Jane could see Mrs. Mason was the doting mother, fiercely possessive of her only son. She was coldly kind to Jane. She ? ^ - - - uicwcu iea ana servea COOKICV, Her attitude was strictly formal. Johnny fenced in circle*. He told how he met Jane in Boston.. "I knew it was love right after the cinder came out," he said, but he didn't disclose the real news Mrs. Mason smiled indulgently and said to Jane, "John's so young and impulsive." As though building a bulwark around her son against the assault of a predatory female, she launched at once into a long lecture about marriage and its duties. "Janell learn them all after ? after we're married," Johnny stammered. For a full minute the room was silent. Mrs. Mason at length composed herself and declared slowlv, "I hope and pray that day will not come for many years?" Johnny tried to get the news out. "You see, mother ? you see," he blurted, and looked derpajrli'jjly at Jane. "We're married," said Jane. Mrs. Mason's mouth popped onen. She Collapsed weakly la (lie chair, gasping for breath. Johnny was panic-stricken It was Jane who had to run to the bathroom for the smelling salts. (To be oonttsMedl r? ; JUST^HUMANS ^flr<&.we "Cmon.

Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C. State College. Quotas Will be iu effect if approved by two-thirds of the farmers voting in the Nation. Regardless of. the outcome of the war, Floyd said, cotton farmers face difficulties ahead. If Geruany and her allies win, ,the United States may be faced with unfavorable trde policies and enconmic blockades. If Great Britain wins,, it will ue extremely difficult to carry on normal trade in- the markets of the world because a great part of the world's resources and purchasing power will have been dissipated. Alteady the war has' caused a severe reduction in cotton exports. During the first three months of . the 1940-41 marketing season, the United States sold Icbs than 300,,000 bales of cotton abroad as com' pared with about 1,50,000 bales dur ing the same period last year. Domestic consumption of cotto1 Floyd stated, continues at a high level.
