H. Y. Belk "TT~" r '' AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Even before the mountains were > brought forth even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God. I suppost we a 1 1 love Octooer with its gentle breeze when the summer wkh its scorching heat gone and , the leaves turn brown and falJ and kiss the earth. God must have lov- I e-d His children very dearly when He made so many changing scenes. George Belk lrom High Shoals cal led to see Daddy Belk Sunday. Hal) Belk is resting in the City .hospital, Gastonia. We hope he's doing very well, but time will tell. Mi. and Mrs. William Starnes have gone to Atlanta to .live with Kheir children. Looks like the weather ."nan don't know whether the people want it to frost or not. We usually look for frost about the 20th of October. This October is very much like August. I got two tans of coal. I don't' know yet what I will do with i? ? may ?burn it.-* 1 was talking recently to a Judge cf our Courts on the divorce prob Jem. Said he, "Sex problems are re- 1 sponsible for 80 percent of all di vorces in the U S. A." I ask^d th Is old timer, 'What's the remedy?" "Well, said he, so fat its not been found." I All that glitters is not gold, we find, but there is more to it than a beautiful face and a ' powdered nose.. ? I was just medi tating about our government spend ing foolish billion^. ?Isn't K rather fdol ish building Up our armed forces to pro tect our liberties from a foreign foe? While with 'the oth er hand behind our backs, " our own government spending other bu llions to force us little by little into I that same totalitarianism we arej striving so hard to defeat? Bill, does a man have more sense, ?after he gets married? Yes, but its itoo late my dear. A. rich old -widower was proposing <o his best girl. And sweetheart, he finished, I'll lay my whole fortune <at your feet. Its not a big fortune, she remind ed him. I know dear, he replied, but ?it will look awfully big beside your -pretty little feet. H? got the gal, you bet. My best, girl once said to me, Hen ry, dear, we've been going together for four year. Don't you think we ou ght to get married? I said perhaps you're right ? but ?who,']! have us? I heard a story about a boy and a girl who were at a church social, -when .the lights went off for several minutea. The girl said, Bobby, you really shouldn't have kissed me like that, ?with all those people so close to u~c even in the dark. I didn't kiss you, said the boy. Hooking angrily around. I only wish I knew who It was, I'd teach him The girl replied, you couldn't iteach him nothing. It used to 'be mothers sang, "Oh ?where is my wandering ' boy to night ?" Now she sings, "Where is my wandering girl. She's been gone and now its after two." Thou shaltJiot steal. *v Thou shalt not covet thy -neigh bor's wife. ? neither should she court her sister's husband.

Kings Mountain Drug Company THE REXALL STORE We Call For and Deliver Phones 41 ? 81 Eight score and one year ago our Fathers brought (orrh on this con tinent a new order of things. Up to 1917 all of us were fairly conten ted and happy too. There was plen ty of work and anyone wishing to w?rk always found plenty of com modities to buy at a fair price to all. Then came the 1917 crusade for De mdcracy. VVe blindly went into World War I. This cost us lot of mo ney, lives and useless lime. Then we did fairly well. Then We were forced into World War II. Now since World War II in 1941 cannot be blamed entirely upon our politici ans. Nations get exactly the kind of politicians they desire. Most of what was bad in our past leader ship can be blamed upon our blind foresight, an easy way out of our troubles and air the time getting deeper in, seeking a cure 'for all ?the ills and finding none. Looking for a bigger war and not yet decid ed Who might care to fight. We dont care who if we are sure we can win, so as to get richer by the kill. Will we never learn that war is hell and brave men must die to win, but not the ones thai should die. They sit back on a palace and a throne and count the change and make the oth ir fellow fight. Now they bring up an accusation against our town officers who have all the time tried to keep J??w andl order and build up a better town. When men try to do- their duty, whyl treat them unkind, but they al-| ways come oUt on top of tne line ' Truth crushed to earth will rise a gain. The New Deal Congress has come to the cross-roads and broken ev | ery promise it made to protect the people, such as increased Old Age ! pensions, reduce government waste, and then toss billions of our taxpay i era hard earned dollars and mil- 1 lions of our war machines to aiien ingrates who are planning to use them against the U, S. A. to buttld up Communism and set up its creed. Oh, but \ve are always on the losing-gaining side. The widow's husband had been a good-for-nothing, but she managed to get up enough money for a nice funeral at a mortician's chapel. The old preacher who read the funeral service had known the man and began ,to speak c'' gently of his great sterling vlr.i a model hus band, and father. The, widow nudg ed her small son and said, Jimmy go over and look at the corpse ? we must of got into the wrong funeral. A preacher does get in tight pla ces very often and have to lie too. The greatest government known to man and it works with women too, is that which teaches us to gov ern ourselves. Then too, -the business of all of us is ,to improve our minds and gov ern our manners, and guard well our thoughts, for they are heard in Heaven. So many of us are all the time looking around for some kind of a system that will give us more than we deserve. Get all you can for the money you earn. Don't spend ail the money you make. Some day you may not have any to spend. Look to the future with faith and love your fellow man and your for tune you've made. Our lives are like a bank ? neither pays interest unless we make some ? deposits in life's way. I Capitalism is the world's best pro ducer" of goods and service to man. We, the people owe our best service to the world, through this medium. But like all prodigies our future is uncertain. A flew more years wi)l tell if we are protected from the en emies our security is sure. Today it would take 96 billion ioa ves of bread at 10c per loaf to feed the millions of starving people all j over the world. Still we have dump j ed fillions of buwieis of wtieat, the : staple of life into the ocean. Then, how chn we call this a Christian na jtion? Well, the preachers do. The i good book teachers you ctin be an j gry but sin not. Maybe the preach ers can do Just that, but we, the people, can't keep our temper. Sp many people are the time try ing -to turn their vocation Into a vacation. But wait, We have 32 million cars I we've got to shake, rattle and roll. !
