Proverbs 12:20. A Welcome Visitor Next Thursday afternoon, Kings Mountain will entertain a semi-annual visitor, but though he arrives twice a year, he makes a public appearance only once. Reference is made to old man Santa Claus, who visits Kings Mountain and most other cities early in the season, prior to his down-the-chimney tour on Christmas Eve. The Kings Mountain Mer chants Association has joined the trend of earlier opening of the Christmas season this year, and the various merchants are already receiving large ship ments of Christmas merchand ise, toys, wheel goods and the many other specialties of the Christmas season. The Association promotion committee has been hard at work making ready for next week's welcoming parade, and it should be well-attended. The word to the early shopper is that he will be a much happier fellow the last few days before Christmas. It is most unusual that a chur ch is able to hold its dedication service within five months of its opening service, but Dixon Presbyterian church was able to better the five-month record by two weeks. Actually, most cnurches labor under the hand icaps of mortgages for years. But it has become the habit of Kings Mountain area church people to dispose of church fis cal matters in rapid order. It is an especial tribute to the mem bers of Dixon Church that they have completed their payments in what might well be record 'time. For the community in general, it is always a sign of good citizenship when a popu lation is liberal with its giving to churches. For. the church re mains the foremost and staun chest force for moral and spir itual good in the world today. It was noted recently that the State of Maine will show at the end of its current fiscal year the best statement in his tory, with a dwindling public debt and the other favorable factors. North Carolina was in even better shape a short 10 months ago. Today we're talk ing about short-term notes to pay operating expenses. Congraulations, too, to Shu Carlton, on his appointment as assistant coach to the North Carolina' Shrine Bowl team. Coach Carlton has done a good job as football coach in the two seasons he has been in Kings Mountain. Though the victory column has been thin, he has done well with a minimum of material, and it is customary that his teams, even when los ing; play heads up ball. Inci dentally, more victories are be ing anticipated for future years, though nothing could please any and all citizens more than a victory Friday night. The opponerfl is Shelby, in event the news hadn't got a round sufficiently. Book Week There are many promotional weeks ? music week, newspa per week, etc., etc., in fact so many that the weeks of the , yeaV have run out and manyt special weeks find it necessary to share its emphasis with oth-; ers ? but the current week is National Bool* Week, and in Kings Mountain th ?re is some thing to shout about. It is the Jacob S. Mauney Memorial Library. This relatively new public li brary is as yet limited in num-i ber of volumes and other re spects, but it is growing in all departments, in circulation and in the other factors which! serve to form a barometer of a! library's worth to a particular community. It is being opera ted on the long-term American1 theory that an enterprise first: crAwls, then walks, then runs. At the moment, the library committee is making its annu al appeal for the library book fund, and this appeal deserves the support of the community. There's nothing as enduring, and capable of giving a great number, of people instruction and pleasure than a good book. The Herald would rate the Jacob S. Mauney Library cur rently in the walking stage, and is glad to add its voice in support of this important com munity adjunct. For Economy The latest ? and what might be, one of the most effective campaigns to promote econo my in government has been launched recently by the Unit ed States Junior Chamber . of Commerce. They call their Movement "Operation Econo my." " ' . ' ' In the campaign, they intend to keep the Congress informed that they, as citizens, are aware that the Congress is ( spending the citizcns' money i and they want only the useful expenditures, leaving off the waste and the gratuities. If the Jaycees can do the Job of awakening the people to the job of making their feelings felt in Washington, it is entire ly possible that some develop ments can be made. The big trouble is that most people mutter about the way the federal government spends money, yet lets it go at that. There never was a Congress man who lasted long if he wasn't responsive to the wish es of the people. Usually, he1 hears from the special interest pressure groups, but seldom from Mr. Average Citizen. Ine Kiwanis Club has again demonstrated its worth to the , community in. realistic terms by a series of donations total-: ing $450 to other worthwhile enterprises. The largest a-! mount ? $250 ? went to the, fund for lunches for under-! privileged children. The Herald would say the gifts were made in amounts according to their relative importance.

Mrs. HaroW Hunnicut* was a most place November 29. 1 martin's medicine By Martin Harmon (Containing bits Ot aewi. wis dom, humor, and comment. To be taken wtoUy. Avoid over dosage.) Clothes Concoction ; I don't know what suit company coined the phrase thru "clothes make the man," and while I nev er thought about it before, I have suddenly been struck between the eyes by a question as to why sous* oi these fancy women's shops nev er say "clothes make the woman." ? There would be several objec- , tions: , (1) every woman ! ever knew was already sufficiently i clothes-conscious and such adver tising would be superfluous; (2) the phrase is a little bit insulting, if yru .?nk it through. c-c But as is customary in this col umn, women's clothes are only in directly involved in this column. ? ant} the main body comes from a well-done, .somewhat facetious type interview in Sunday's Char lotte Observer with the president of Hart, Schaffner and Marx, a company which put a piddlin' j $68 million worth of suits on men's backs throughout the globe during Its most recent fiscal year, c-c The Observer reporter, admit ting to fesliug a little shop-worn | in the presence of such sartorial eminence popped several interest ing question, but the pair which struck my eye was reported in this sequence: The reporter: "Do women object to the male trend toward color?" The Hart- Schaffner president: "No, indeed. They are helping bring it about. Women buy 70 per cent ff all haberdashery and us ually help the men select their clothes. Wives save husbands foolish mistakes." The reporter: Does your wife pick out your suits?" The Hart-Schaffner man: "No." j - <??? This seemed to be a considera ble inconsistency, to contend that wives save husbands foolish mis takes in one breath and to deny in the srcond that his madame didn't buy his clothes. c-c Of course there is no question ; about his statement that the we* ' men bay 70 percent of the haber dashery. This does not mean that ; the ladies actually go to the stores in that particular percentage. Though many do. the remainder (and I suspect the total is more than 70 percent) take- care of the matter by ordering the husband to return the suit he's Just picked out. If you don't believe me, make a check of the salesmen who sell men's suits in Kings Mountain. Many hare their customers spot ted. When the man comes in I alone, they're not trying to sell him j what be likes. They're mentally noting what his wife likes and j this is the suit the salesman tries to sell. If the salesman doesn't hit he's got a return ? and quick. And there's nothing more discour aging to a salesman's morale than to have to return the price of a suit at today's prices. ec All red-blooded men will object i to the statement that wives save their husbands foolish mistakes j (in buying clothes). After all,! they mast have been pretty dec ent-looking before the women married 'em. ?.? r . - ? , Which reminds that Saunders' announced last week among-the leaders lists in its best-dressed mem contents. 1 have thus far heard no complaints from the male members of the community, though I did chide the Herald force for its failure to hare even one representative in tb > leader's lists. C-C ? 1 did get a surprise relative to men's clothee Uut week. A couple ?f men rrz ;# reporting that sar torial tragedy usually associated mainly with women. They had purchased suits and were real proud of them. Wearing them with some degree of pride and pleasure a few nights later, they found their suit-rack twins sitting acroes the table at a public meeting. What surprised me wa? that they were non-plusssd about It For all these yean I thought men were impervious to such matters. And It reminds that 1 probably made a terrible mistake several years back. 1 had bought a suit off ? piece of goods, and Aubrey Mous ey was buying one. I recall that Aubrey asked me if 1 minded him getting see like it Instead of re plying. "Wot at aU." I should have thrown up ssy head In surprised dlsoosnfltuure and shouted. "In deed l~ ; S' e"? To stray from the subject only slightly. 1 know of several rabid football and there an an awful lot of ?hopa in New York. The wile would fust hare to do tome shop ping and I don't believe the bank account would stand the double load."
