Cliyde Hoeu, Kitocmis Speaker
Hon. Clyde Hoey of Shelby former Democratic Statesman of North
Carolina was the principal speaker today at the Kiwanis club. He
praised the past legislature for the work it did. Said the present adminis
tration will have reduced the state’s outstanding indebtedness by $17,-
000,000 at the end of the governor’s term. C. is a great state with
natural resources, and just as the hardships and selfdenials made splendid
citizens out of our parents so will the present difficulties make us if we
will accept the responsibilities as we meet them, live within our income
and work hard for better times.
