A Poor Hand None professes to know the mind of John J>ewis, dictator of the coal men, an egotist of the first rank, who may, or may not, call out his miners again come December 1. There was some considerable surprise around the nation that Lewis in his "magnanimous gesture," ordered the men back at ail, but undoubtedly there were many factors Involved. Non-union mines were run ning, in spite of threats of phy sical violence on the part of Lewis' henchmen, and this coal was trickling out, even though at high prices. There were also reports that many of the union miners were getting mighty tired of the strike, with no wag es coming in, and particularly after the three-day week since mid-summer. Then, too, there was the Supreme Court's decis ion which made a $1,400,000 fine against the United Mine Workers stick. Dues in the mine union are high, and it is hardly likely that the miners like to see their dues being used to pay fines assessed by the government. Mr. Lewis has been in a peri od of high prosperity, begin ning in 1940, and continuing through the hard war years when this nation was pressed to turn out everything it could 1n the shortest posillble time. He was blessed, or cursed, de pending on the point of view with the dictatorial, world-be damned attitude, and he knew when to play his trump cards for more money for the miners, and, in turn, himself. It is possible that the astute Mr. Lewis finds himself today with a poorer hand. Oil is be ing used extensively, many times in place of coal. While the coal shortage is drastic, it is not as tough as it might have been, Even the weather man fooled him, giving the nation a mild autumn. . Mr. Lewis may pull the min ers out again December 1, but it could be the beginning of his own end. The Herald noted in another paper the other day an editori al in which reference was made to a transplanted citizen from Indiana who, in process of re porting an unpleasant drive marred by two devil-may-care drivers, commented that his auto liability insurance jump ed 75 percent when he moved to North Carolina. It is hard to believe that North Carolina drivers are that much worse than those of other states, but at the same time it should jus- . tify the reminded to drive most carefully during the coming few weeks. Careful driving in cludes not only holding the speedometer at safe speeds, but also keeping a sharp eye out for other motorists. ia' years AGO] iU THIS WEEK! The congregation Of the First Bap. tint church voted last Sunday morn ivig to erect w new parsonage on the King lot on Gaston street. Members of Kings Mountain Vol unteer Fire Department will be quests of the Local Lions Club at their regular meeting at the Moun- 1 tain View House this evening at 7!, o'clock. SOCIAL AMD PERSONAL Mrs. F. E. Finger and daughter, Mrs. Harry Warren, were hostesses at a lovely luncheon at their home 1 on Railroad avenue last Saturday at one o'ckxA, the luncheon given a* ? compliment to Miss Pauline I Neisler, a bride -elect. ? ji Thanksgiving 1949 Next Thursday Is Thanks giving, a national holiday, and a time when the United States pauses to give thanks for the good things of the past year. It began as a thanksgiving for a hardy band of pioneers who were giving thanks to be away from oppression of rulers whoj denied them the right of wor shiping as they pleased. It was continued as a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Here in Kings Mountain, the Kiwanls club is taking the lead this year, with other civic groups and church groups join ing in, to launch a church loy alty campaign on Thanksgiv ing. . A glance at the headlines of today's newspapers, or a short few minutes beside a radio news broadcast, indicates the need for such a campaign not only here but throughout the nation and the world? It would appear that moral values are being forgot in the press and stir of day-to-day living and making a living, and the church remains the one major institution devoted ex clusively to the things which are good, decent, kind, and right. On next Thursday, people the world over should not only give thanks for the material blessings that have accrued during ,the year, but they might well re-dedicate themselves to the principles of brotherly love. The grammar grades athletic program has been run quite successfully by The Mountain eer Club this season. Unques tionably, many youngsters have learned valuable lessons in football, team play and sportsmanship by this pro gram, and its supporters will want to be o%^iand Saturday night for the All-Star game which will serve as the finale for the program in 1949. Since Thanksgiving will be a holiday, it will be a good chance for fne citizens of the community to view an interest ing spectacle at City Stadium. Reference is madt, of course, to the Jaycee Model Air Show, in which a number of jet model enthusiasts of the area will compete for a number of prizes. For those who marvel at the idea of a midget plane travel ing more than 100 miles per hour, it will be a good opportu nity to see them with their own eyes, * A best bow to James S. Ware, \vho is serving as chairman of the CROP program in the Kings Mountain area. Com modities are sought to help needy people of the world and the United States has always had a record of giving of their abundance. Kings Mountain does the same.

Then the youngster starts to school. Here he gets rated again. If s either A, B. C., or D from then on for 12 years, and more if he goes to college.

If ho works in a factory he 1? withstand the rigors of cm efficiency rating, and outside the wmklng department he is rated socially, intellectually, and, per. baps, religiously.

It all started several weeks previously, when the Her ald received a letter from an out fit which calls Itself "Community Research Bareon." Tho letter said the bureau made it a business of rating newspapers and wanted to do ours too. Wo thought this was aH very nice, particularly since there was no reference about cost and the only rsqueol was to send a copy of the paper for a particu lar period of time.
