Psalm 105:8. * Engineer Peck The people In the counties comprising the State Highway Impairment's Ninth division who know him are well aware of the fact that theVecent shuf fling of personnel, which will bring Lewis B. Peck, of Albe marle, to Shelby as chief high* way engineer of the division is no cause for wailing and gnash ing of teeth, regardless of their feelings concerning Hugh Noel, who will go to Greensboro as chief of the Fifth division. Mr. Peck, a family, man 'and top-grade citizen, hvs done an excellent job in the. Seventh di vision. He is a man of keen p.ood humor, patience, kindness and ability, attributes which are highly important to a man who fills such a difficult post. Noting the highway depart ment change, the Stanly News and Press at AJbem?^ le editori alized: i "The announcement that L. B. Peck, division engineer, for the highway department, is to l>e transferred to Shelby is not good news to Albemarle and Stanly county people who have a high regard for this man .... When we say that the city and county regret to lose Mr. Peck and his family, we are express ing the sentiment in mild words ..." A cordial welcome to Lewis Peck and our best wishes to Mr. Noel, Much hullabaloo is being heard lrom the disputants on the matter of federal aid to ed ucation. the "pro" grouf say ing that giving federal money will not mean any federal con trol and the "anti" group dis puting it hotly. The Herald's vote would have to go* with those who feel thai the govern ment's moving into the field of public secondary education means, perhaps slow, but sure, federal control. It's an old maxim that he who f>a>s the tjddler gets to call the tune, und the federal educanor busi ness will be no different, no matter how many protective clauses go into the bill. Past history will indicate that ? in the matter of the state school system, the state road set-up. the federal road set-up, and more and more. Another fatal auto accident has added to the death toll on the eight-mile stretch between Kings Mountain and Gastonia. While Governor Scott has been emphasizing the need for rur al roads, it would not tW amiss for the State Highway Depart ment to give priority attention to this short stretch of High way 29 and 74, which is truly a death trap. The amount of traffic carried on this road in dicates need for a fdur-lane highway, preferably a boule vard type. The latter would have meant that the two peo ple who died last Saturday would still be alive. Hospitol Assured Approval of plans for a 24 bed hospital at Kings Moun tain by the state's Medical Care Commission is virtual assuran ce that the Kings Mountain hospital is going to become a reality In the near future. It is good news to the people of Number 4 Township who long have been looking for ward. to this community im provement, in* fact ever since the reading of the will of the late Miss Lottie Goforth, who bequeathed her property for such a purpose. Much wear and tear, so to speak, on the community's doc tors. the patients and their families will be saved., and, as has been remarked before, much credit is due the Number 4 Township representatives on the board of hospital .trustees, both past and present, for their interest in seeing the dream of a Kings Mountain hospital be come a reality. It is hoped that contracts can be let soon and this Impor tant structure be started: Our congratulations to .L. L. Benson, who has been elected chairman of the Kings Moun tain Chapter, American Red Cross, and to John L. McGill, whom Mr. Benson will succeed on July 1. Mr. McGill has been chairman for the . past two years and has given it much time, interest, and hard work Our guess is that Mr. Benson will handle the job in the same diligent manner. Congratulations are in order to the Kings Mountain school students who were awarded medals and honors for . the school year, and to the senior class which must have set some kind of record in scholastics. Of the 54 graduates this year, 24 received diplomas bearing honor seals. That is in excess of 44 percent of the class. This class also took the Inter-class contest Plaque for the fourth consecutive year, which furth er stamps its members as out standing. ? % > ? A best bow to John Rudisill. new president of the Betbware Progressive Club, and the oth er new officers. Already this young club has made an active record of sei vice to its commu nity and the Herald finds it easy to predict a continuing good record of service Wood Grayson should make a good man on the Cleveland County selective service board. However, it is the Herald's hope that the international sit uation will ease to the point that Mr. Grayson will find the appointment nas little work at tached. Our guess is that he hopes so. too. 10 YEARS A G O "" THIS WEEK? The highlight of the Lion* Ladies N?ght program was the presentation of the citizenship cup to Mr Paul E. E. Hendricks, director ol the Kings Mountain School Band by Mr. CV F Thomatitscr. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL ^re John Phil Wilson, nee Miss Nancy Hotd, was thfc inspiration of a lovely party at which Miss Sara H-am bright was hostess on Wednefc day afternoon. Mr. and Mrs C. J. Gault, Jr., and Miss NeLline Gaul* Jefi Sunday for ms a stay of ten day* in New York City. Mr. and Mrs. Hal Plonk of Con cord spent the weekend with relativ es In Kings Mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nelsfler, Paul, Jr., and Mise Pauline Neisler are in New York for thia week. Mr. O. W. Myera returned Monday night Iram Knoxvllle, Tenn., where he went on a combined busineaa ami pleasure trip. Mr. and Mr*. Byron Xeeter and two daughter* left Sunday !ot a two weeks trip to New York City. While there they will v wit the world's Fair. I Exploring * Just about tmybodr gets the exploration bug occasionally, and mora so In tho spring and sum ? mer. but foW people do much a bout it 1 fall in tbat latter class. Thus. 1 am indebted to Howard Jackson for an interesting explo ratory toug'on last Saturday alt. , ornoon and for this column. (White Debt No. 1 is considerably . I eon mtii forget Debt No. t). i -? White ours hardly compared to the wagon train expeditions of the IMS Cold Rush, in either terri'-ory covered, hardships, or distanre, we did take some roads which made ? Howard's veteran Chevy ride like a covered wagon. -e The trip started quite innocent. ' ly. Jackson dropped in after lunch to talk about football ticket orders, i Since North Carolina football ' teams have advanced to the ma- | jor leagues, getting tickets now i works like politics. It you don't ' start early, you get left ?*t I^e post. | But the football business ran a* foul of an unwitting promise Mr. Jackson had made the madame some weeks ago about looking ov er materials for tJ rapes. When the lady of the house mentioned the rr crtter, Howard gave a gasp and evidently decided he might as well get the Job done. In . a few minutes we were Margrace-bound. -e First detour came when Howard decided the wife should see the "Big Hole" at Superior Stone com pany. which is truly an amazing thing in itself. Standing on the upper edge, the btg pan at the far side looked infinitosimally small, and the men working near it look ed like midgets. It is really a huge operation asd one which has al ready proved of considerably im . portance to Kings Mountain. With Cleveland County having ' S2.7S millions available for rural roads, it will prove more important. Since freight Is one of the biggest costs of stone, the fact that Clove* land has a close source of supply should mean that this county will get more roads per dollar than i some counties not as fortunately located with respect to this im portant ingredient in roads. I After this detour, we reached the Max grace and toured the Patricia plant, where a multitude of beau tiful fabrics destined to brighten furniture in homes throughout the | land ? were on the looms. It was l the first time I had ever been in the plant when the mill wasn't in, operation, and 1 could ask ques | tions (anu heer the answers) to my heart's content. Several of the machines in the finishing plant ! looked so much like newspaper presses. I was about to ask if Nets lei wouldn't contract the printing job on the weekly edition. martin's medicine 1 By Martin Harmon (Containing bits el news, wis huntor. and comment. To bo weekly. Avoid The lady ol the bouse had the usual hard time choosing be tween the multitude ol materials., and Howard probably had to show more samples than he does the average Jobber who buys in 10.000- _ yard lots. Eventually the decisions were made, and Howard, with his best bow. graciously remarked. "1 express to yon. ma'm. the deep ap preciation of Neisler Mills for this order. It will probably ran one loom all of 10 minutes." -e- . The trip to Heisler. as it and vis its to all other textile plants do. re minds me of a suggestion made by Skipper Coffin, head of the Uni versity's Journalism department on the day I was to graduate. Talking about jobs. Skipper Mar ly knocked me off my feet by tell ing me the best thing I could do foe a couple of years would be to get a fob ? any Job ? in a tax tile plant, "You're probably going to live in some community where textiles are the cog in the wbitl" be remarked. "It would be a big advantage to have some knowled ge of textiles, from the ground up. Leans first Write later." Be .was very, very right -a- ' On leaving the mill. Howard de cided we should see another "Bole."
