Western Ships Are Still Mostly Idle SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 31.—(/Fl —Shipowners sought conferences with another striking maritime un ion today but the approach of a new year found Pacific Coast wa terfronts strikebound for the 83rd day and unions projecting national legislation to back theirc a use. The coaet's huge maritime in dustry faced 1937 with 333 ships idle, approximately 40,000 men on strike and resulting losses to busi ness estimated as high as 450,000, 000, on the basis of figures comput ed by the shipping Merchants' mu T.

Well, If you remember, away back about about the time of Shakespeare, one of them old kings offered tu swap his kingdom fur a horse, and everybody knows that a woman Is worth more than a hoss any time unless hit is rite plum in crap time, then I be lieve I'd rather have a hoss. Sal sed she never lamt who the woman wua tho kind traded fur, but she sed they sed she had bin married a couple of times and tuther fellers wuz both a living yit and a doing well. Me and Marvin King, over thar dose tu Toluca, Is good friends, but so fur as we can find out they halnt related but Marvin has got ways like this other king in that they both like women. Well I dont know whar England is, fur Z halnt never bin no farther than Shelby down that way. so I halnt got nothing tu say about no such trades as the king made. But everybody knows that when a man gits tu be a fool about a woman he is the biggest fool thar is and thar halnt but one remedy that will cure him, and that remedy is the wom an, And. somehow, eence Bed told what she heard that day down thar at Casar, X have felt more kindly toward them feBers that air alters a pestering uround up here at my house. I tuck that shot gun home yesterday that I’d borrowed tu use on 'em. They halnt such bad feBers star all, or else maybe I’ve jlst got use to their ways.

Tom Is scheming tu the ut most: ha la cunning beyond com pare; he makes deals In the day time that other wood want tu do In the dark; he gits your money and a watching him; ylt everybody likes Tom, even tu his enemies. But tUp is what he went and done one day last week: He cum Into our country tu spy out the land tu see If hit wus worth possessing; he saw that hit wus a goodly country, a land flowing with whiskey and brandy; he liked the Inhabitants thereof; so he staked a claim jlst across the bill from whar me and Sal lives in peaoe with the rest of the world. We dont know what his plans air; we dont know what his heart Is set on. Maybe be wants a quiet retreat tu spend his last years, os, like the one the papers have said so much about recently.

(Associated Press Photo) TALK TO PARENTS By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH Ideal* In School Indicative of the modem trend of thought is the present attitude of young people in the face of such a statement as that made by Horace Mann 100 years ago: “Be ashamed to die until you havo won some victory for humanity.” It was Mann's basic tenet that] no man or woman could be, truly educated unless he was cultivated hi character as well as in mind. The brilliant scholar with no moral standards, no ideals, seemed to him more of a curse to the world than a blessing. In Mann’s eyes a school did not fulfill its function unless it developed the rounded personality. Today a teacher has to special ise, and is not asked to concern himself with the child's attitude toward life as long as the school work is properly done. That there is any purpose in life beyond mak ing a living and caring for one’s self and erne’s family, it is not the duty of the school to teach. So education consists of learn ing one’s assignment and getting a diploma. Ideals, hero worship, even school and college spirit are things of the past. Let the state take care of the poor. Why should individuals fight the world’s bat tles and look upon humanity and its struggles as their affair? Great men and women, whether scientists, philosophers, poets or artists do not spring from such a practical and material background. Facts or formulas may be of help in material matters, but are not food for the spirit. And both food for the spirit and food for the mind are essential. Today we are in danger again of forgetting the purpose of our schools in the struggle to keep alive, to find machinery to do our work and robots to run the ma chinery. Somewhere we must seek a constructive idealist who will give education a soul again. 40 People Meet Violent Death (Continued from page one.) Valias, W. T.

Public Debt Heads Toward High Ground WASHINGTON, Dec. 31— (/P) — The twin influences of rising gov ernment receipts and falling ex penditures whittled the half-year deficit on treasury ledgers today about (500,000,000 under the same period last year.

Clyde R. Hoejrf Election Leads (Continued from page one.) events. The first of the year which has been an unusually eventful twelve months, saw Mr. Hoey open his campaign for the governorship and spent three months in intensive campaigning over the entire state. As the state's best known orator and a leader for 40 years in the po litical life his pleas to "reject Mc Donaldlsm” rapidly became cam paign fever, especially in this part of the state. After the campaign was over his statesmanlike planning of the new work as governor has also become part of the news. Missed President No one in Shelby or this area will ever forget the heart-rending dis appointment thousands suffered on eventful September 10 when they "missed" Mr. Roosevelt. He still bore out a major part of the news and carried the confidence of the coun ty more unanimously than any can didate in history. While much of the interest fn local politics was centered on Mr. Hoey, this being election year, the races of the county officers for their various posts was a story by itself. It saw a complete return of the so-called county “machine” to office again, but with two or three outsiders making a bold battle. Violent deaths and weather view for interest. Conservation of Cleveland county soils along with benefit payments for “not planting cotton” and in stead, planting legumes and cover crops, was the big farm story. It was voluntary, but the co-operation and interest was almost universal here. With the “alphabet" the news saw the PWA build $139,000 worth of rural school buildings; the WPA finished the new county commun ity building, the county agricultural building and helped in the surfac ing of 20 miles of Shelby streets in addition to laying many sewers and water lines. There were also the sewing rooms, the recreation work of the WPA, the adult education, NYA, and other various activities of the government working with re lief and unemployment. Building Jumps Building activity was at its great est boom since 1939. A $78,000 thea tre, a $40,000 store building, several apartment houses and scores of res idences have appeared this year. Out in the county and In Kings Mountain new buildings by the hundreds have gone up. They made progressive news. The schools have been in the news. Mumps and flu and the weather in the spring disrupted Schedules. However in the summer the building program put rural schools on the map. and the efforts to get a new building for Shelby have been full of interest. Color and gaiety, huge crowds plus Dr. J. S. Dorton’s personality and ability to make fairs successful, were the highlights of the No. 10 story in the 1! . It has been a good year for many, and a bad year for others. We will know tomorrow what the New Year has in store. Happy New Year! General Motors May Be Tied Up (Continued from page one ) was the No. 1 at Flint, Mich. Mem i here of the night shift sat down last night and the plant, employing 6,500 persons, was closed. It sup plies bodies for the Buick Motor company factory at Flint. There was speculation as to how long Buick could keep its 16,000 workers busy with its source of bodies shut off. A few hours before Fisher No. 1 closed, the Fisher plant No. 2 at Flint also had been shut down fol lowing a strike. Its 1,200 workers were idle. The Chevrolet Assembly and Delivery plant at Flint, depen dent upon Fisher No. 2 for bodies, subsequently closed. It employs 1, 000 persons. Others Closed The Fisher factories in Atlanta ; and Kansas City have been closed by strikes for several weeks, with the resultant shutdown of the ; Chevrolet plants in those cities. ; About 1,300 workers were idle at i Atlanta, 2,400 at Kansas City. I The more recent strike in the j Cleveland Fisher Body plant has i not caused the closing of any other : units of the vast general motors j concern. The Cleveland unit sup j plies stampings for other Fisher ; branches. Seven thousand were idle j there. Hitler Reported Rushing Troops (Continued from page one.) for aid.
