As indicated before, the Her ald favors passage of all the issues. However, since they are separate and since it is possi ble that some may be approved and others disapproved, the Herald rates them in this order of importance: (T) $250,000 in sewer bonds; (2) $50,000 in wa ter bonds; (3) $50,000 in sta dium bonds. Most of the early criticism to the bond program has been voiced by the so-called "profes sional economy" citizens who are constitutionally opposed to spending money in any man ner. On the other side, the Her ald hasn't yet picked up reports of many who are solidly arid vi gorously for the bonds, outside, of course, the city commission ers. Perhaps it is too early yet. Perhaps the thought of going into debt by $350,000, or even $250,000. or even $50,000 are too unpleasant, even for those who are still forced to use out door privies for toilets and who have to get water from a well though living inside a city. The sewer business is most important from the sanitation standpoint. The defective Mc Gill tank ? which lies in Gas ton county ? ? is credited bv Gaston health authorities as being mainly responsible for the large polio incidence in the immediate area last summer. Correct contemon or not, the Ghston neighbors, if sufficient ly aroused, could create a very unpleasant and nasty situation. They could take legal steps to force some action on the mat ter. The health situation mak es the sewer bonds most im portant, with the water bonds closely aligned. The Herald is for the stadium bonds too. Again, sanitation is closely connected with the pro A best bow to Iris Patterson, Mary McKelvie and Jo Ann Bridges, recently inducted as new members of the high school's Kings Mountain Honor Society chapter.

Inc. ? - If the citizens had to name the best deed the Ministerial Association does in n year, it is quite likely that the associa tion's city-wide Easter Sunrise Service would win the election. Plans are already announced for the annual service, and the minist^i*s think the attendance this yeanj^iirbreak all records. The service is a most impres sive onevand those attending come away with a new sense of . the real meaning of Efcster. ject. The present condition of! the so-called City Stadium is a bad arrangement for all con cerned, participating teams, spectators, and, perhaps worse ) of all, for the people living 1 nearby. There will naturally be discussion as to whether "more money should be wasted in that hole." While Commissioner ^ Carl Mauney has not yet called ; his stadium citizen's committee together, indications are that the board's intention is to ade quately survey the situation, before any more money, if vo ted, is spent. It is indicated that the present location will be de-! veloped only if economically, sanitarily, and physically feasi ble. Otherwise, efforts would be made to find a new site and a start again made from scratch 1 Many feel this would be better and cheaper. Politically, the bond issue should have little opposition unless there is such a wave of Opposition to it that opponents of the current administration' decide to ride it in an effort to move into City Hall. '? Long term, all candidates should support the bond elec- ; tio.n for personal reasons. A? has been remarked here many times, laws regulating munici pal governments are so protec tive for the citizens that no one ' body of men can make an ex-j ceptionally successful record at ; City Hall in the current situa tion ? much in the way of city j services needing to be provided' and with no money to provide them. The men elected to City Hal! without these bond issues, will be taking a good chance of j becoming sitting ducks for the; next election. - j In calling the bond election' for the same day as the regular biennial election to filj city offices the board has done two things: (1) 1% has saved some money in the way of election expenses; (2) it, in effect, in vites the voters to approve the bond issues and, at the same' time, to elect to office the men , they prefer to spend it. I i A gift to the campaign of the American C a n c e r Society might well be looked on as an investment. Cancer deals death to many each year. Thinking citizens are confident that man, who harnessed the atom, will find a cure for this dread dis ease. and they will support this campaign. * Just what plans the directors^ of the Red Cross have for com- > pleting their 19^9 fund drive' are not known, but some clean up work is in order. The Red Cross organization is too im portant to the township to be hamstrung for funds. 1 First reports indicate that the Kings Mountain Bargain Days trade promotion was a success for merchant and cus tomer alike. The customer got some real bargains and the merchant, in turn, made room for some new goods. 10 YEARS AC O Items of nawi token from th? i uic w rr v 1339 ot Kings Moun THIS WEE K tain Herald.

The trees are budding and begin ning to by -leaps ??*** bounds, and most oi the hardy populace have stuiied the over coat in the. closet While the op* i pearance ot a robin or two is re garded as the first sure sign of ap proaching spring.

It's a subtle piece of advertising for Claude's ie? business. Some spring when I think about it I'm going to test Claude for winter under wear s-r There's something about spring which makes everyone feel better, even those who get afflicted with a bad case of spring fever. The feeUngs perk up. even if the en ergy quotient seems to need a dose of sulphur and 'lasses. s 't Among those who first feel the oncoming spring are teachers, and those in the elementary grades note it first One elementary school teacher was reporting the other day on an interesting, nev er-a-dull-moment April Fool's Day. which had Just passed. It was filled to the gills with the in nocent funny, sometimes embar rassing faux pas of the third gra ders in her comand. The fun start ed early. One student anxious to get in on the April Fool business, said in astonished voice. 'Teach er. there's an ant running up your leg." 'Another pupiL who had evi dently been impressed by an ad monition not to use ain't repri manded. 'There's no such word as ain't" But the Jokester was not to be denied. "WelL" tbe small voice continued, "there's an ISNT run ning up your leg. April Foot" s-r Later in the day, during a read ing lesson which must have had a little English grammar com bined. the teacher was trying to put across the use of the word having. She asked a boy to give a sentence using the word and he made a grammatically correct, if physically* impossible, reply. It was, "I am hfcving a baby." The teacher thought surely the i . day would never end, and it didn't j in time. With a lew minutes left, a youngster Who does a guitar act was invited to perform for the , class. After he picked out a few j request numbers, the teacher sug gested that, with only time for one more, he play his own favorite. Af ter a few introductory chords, the lad gave out in music and song ; with "Rye whiskey, rye whis key " The teacher was never so glad in her life when the day-, ending bell rang before the sec-* ottd chorus Which, among other things, pro ves that in life there is never a dull moment if one looks for it. And where children are around, one doesnt have to look. Just lis ten. s-r One of the Interesting reports in Life magazine recently was the story on the professor who had several of his students ? in 1939 ? write a statement of what they expected to do. bio. and become during the ensuing 10 years. The results were interesting. One chap who had hoped to get one gradu ate d*SM (and would be satis fled if he did) had a string of 'em a mile long. One chap who had written out a statement wasn't present. He bad committed sui cide. Bat most of the then -students had done very well, now held lar ger horizons. Which Is the way life is. One goal is accomplished. ! and another is standing by ready i to take its place. That's what ' keeps us going. s-r Spring means new clothes re quirements. particularly for tbe ladles, bat tbe men. who talk less about clothes, usually slip in a store and .buy a piece of two also.

After raising the chicks, each member will exhi bit 12 of hU best pullets at a county show, at which time the birds will be judged dnd classed according to their development.
