RUTHERFORD COUNTY'S BIGGEST AND BEST NEWSPAPER VOL. VII—No. 34 THE CHAUTAUQUA HAS FINE PROGRAM Redpath Opened Monday and Will Continue Through Fri day—Large Attendance Great crowds have been attending j every program of the Redpath Chau tauqua, which opened in Forest City Monday for a five-day stay. The pro -9 gram this year is in keeping with the : Redpath standard—even pronounced by many as being the best ever to come to our city. It is high-class en tertainment throughout, and varied j enough to have something pleasing • i# for everybody. The ladies of the Woman's Club ; are to be congratulated for their j great work in putting over the sale of tickets, they having "gone over j the top" easily before the first of • Monday's program. Some consider- j able sales were made after the full pledge was realized and the ladies 1 will have some surplus for their club, j It was good work —and it is due to the efforts of these ladies that makes j possible the coming of the Chautau- 1 qua to our city. The Chautauqua is fortunate in the location of their tent this year, it be ing on Main street, in the business section of the city and with ample parking facilities. People from every section of the county are coming to the Chautauqua. We welcome them and are glad to have them visit our j city. It is for the benefit of the country people that the business men sign the guarantors' pledge and the good ladies work so hard to bring the Chautauqua here each season. As to the program: Every single number is good. Redpath gives only the best. Monday's program featured the i Jugo-Slav orchestra, which was en thusiastically encored. At night the vast audience was held spell-bound by the masterly lecture of Dr. Hilton Ira Jones. His subject, "Science and the Future" was made more enjoya ble by his masterly demonstrations of many of the wonders of chemistry and his easy handling of the sub ject with which he is past-master. Dr. Jones is one of America's greatest * scientists. His lecture alone was worth more than the price of a sea son ticket. Tuesday came the Faubel enter tainers with their popular program. At night the Laurant Company held "the vast audience with their magic and mystery. For Wednesday Julian B. Arnold held the boards for the morning and afternoon programs. His great lec v ture, "Arabian Nights" was highly enjoyed. At night the great Amer ican comedy, "Give and Take," pleased the large crowd. 4 Some of the very best of the pro grams are yet to come. Thursday's selections include the Chicago Lyric Singers and Wm. Rainey Bennett's great lecture on "Pathways to Pow er." For Friday we are to have a great program for concluding the Chautau qua engagement. Everett Kemp will entertain the kiddies in the morning. In the afternoon the Colonial Harp Company and Mr. Kemp will do the entertaining. At night the Colonial Harp Company will appear again in their feature number, "The Shep- Jierd's Dream," said by many to be best of the entire Chautauqua of fering. FOX HUNTERS MEET The regular monthly meeting of the Blue Ridge Fox Club was held with Mr. C. C. Moore Tuesday eve ning, about 50 were present. Sev eral new members were received into the club and the meeting was a good one. The next meeting of the club will be held on the first Tuesday in July at the Mooresboro schoolhouse. The July meeting promises to be a good one. Refreshments will be served. A CORRECTION By some error, Miss Reba Blanton's diploma was dropped from the basket when it was carried to the stage.

FOREST CITY COURIER ENJOYABLE BANQUET HELD AT CLIFFSIDE Cliffside Mills. Store Entertains Sales Force and Invited Guests. Cliffside Mills Store entertained their sales force and a few invited guests at a banquet Tuesday, May 26, at 7:30 o'clock. The banquet was served by the Home Economics class cf the Cliffside High school in the banquet hail of the Memorial build ing. About sixty plates were served. The banquet served as a get-together meeting for the sales people and for others interested in the success of the store and an interesting and in structive program was carried out in connection with the meal. Mr. J. G. Roach, who has recently become gen eral manager of the Cliffside Mills stores, acted as toastmaster and call ed on a number of those present to take part in a round table discussion of ways and means to promote sales and service. Mr. Z. O. Jenkins add ed to the merriment of the occasion by telling several appropriate jokes. Mr. Clyde A. Erwin spoke briefly on "Honesty, Loyalty and Service." The principal feature of the evening was a very practical sales talk delivered by Mr. McClain, a representative of the National Cash Register Company, who sought to impress the various relationships that any successful sales person ought to maintain. The oc casion came to a close with a plea from Mr. Roach for the hearty co operation of the entire organization in giving the people of Cliffside and the surrounding community a supe rior type of salesmanship and serv ice. FOREST CITY SUMMER SCHOOL BEGINS JUNE Bth For various reasons all schools have a number of failures each year. Forest City is very fortunate in hav ing only a limited number of pupils in this class at the end of this school year. For the benefit of the pupils who had to be absent from school on account of illness, etc., it has been ar ranged to give these pupils a chance to make up the work missed. Mr. A. C. Finch will teach the high school and the seventh grade failure. Since the grammar grades and the high school will be in separate buildings next year, it will be necessary for all the conditioned seventh grade pupils to get this work off before they will be permitted to enter the eighth grade. A number of new departments will be added to the high school curriculum next year. This will force the principal to make out a schedule strictly according to grades and subjects. For this reason it will be necessary for pupils who have back work in the high school to make this up if they desire to choose the subjects they desire to take next year. Irregular students find it hard to get a schedule satisfactory. If any parents desire that their boys and girls take advantage of this op portunity see Mr. A. C. Finch. The intermediate grades will be taught this summer by Miss Bertha Jones. In the grammar grades it is necessary for pupils to be promoted by grades instead of subjects. For this reason it will be necessary for conditioned pupils to get off these conditions before school begins in September if the pupils are to enter a higher grade. The primary grades will be taught this summer by Miss Mary Long. It is natural that we have the largest number of failures in the primary grades. The attendance is not as good as the higher grades and for this reason alone the pupils are not pro moted. They can not complete all the *vork unless they attend a major part of the school term. A number of boys and girls in these grades will be promoted to the higher grade by attending school for six weeks this summer. Under no condition, will a conditioned boy or -gi3fl b§ passed to the higher' grade unless the back work is made up. A number of par ents may desire to teach their chil dren at home. Their intentions are good but they do not have a regu lar time for the work and in a few days the work is stopped. If pos sible try to send your boys and girls to school this summer. The tuition for the six weeks will I be six dollars for the primary grades. PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FOREST CITY AND RUTHERFORD COUNTY FOREST CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1925 FOREST CITY BOY GETS HIGH HONOR Paul Moss Elected Captain Of Duke University Basketball Team For Next Season. Durham, N. C., May 30.—Paul Moss, a product of the Forest City high school, today received the dis tinguished honor of being elected captain of the Duke University quin tet for the year 1925-26. Paul is commonly known on the Duke cam pus as "Pete," and is one of the most popular men in the University. "Pete" reached the summit of fame on the campus ancT won the praise of basketball fans thruout the state when he held Kahn of William and Mary, and high scorer of Virginia, scoreless, and at the same time em- erged from the fray as high scorer for Duke. "Pete" will be the first man to cap tain a basketball team wearing the Duke monogram and the first man to head a quintet surrounded by the new university spirit that pervades the Duke campus. Moss was given several write-ups in state papers in which he gained such names as "The Invincible Pete" and "that gaunt guard." His style of playing is very unique, and he can be trust ed to grab the ball from the op ponents' backboard, carry it down the floor and place it into his own bas ket before the opposing players know what it is all about. Moss is showing exceptional ability in his studies as well as prowess in "shooting the goal." The home folk have been watching Paul with pride and those who remember see ing him play on the local court will rejoice to hear of his success and will wish him the best of success with his team next year. Captain-elect Moss was easily the outstanding star on the Blue Devil basketball five last season, being mentioned by several Tar Heel sports writers as an all-state selection as guard. FATHERS' DAY Next Sunday, June 7, will be ob served as Fathers' Day in the Forest City Methodist church. The pastor, Dr. Ware, will preach a sermon ap propriate to fathers. All are invited to this service. Let's look forward to it with prayerful expectation for the greatest good to the greatest number. WALKER-COLLINS Mr. Benj. F. Collins and Miss Lei Ella Walker were married at the home of the bride last Saturday at 4:00 p. m., Squire J. B. Long per forming the ceremony. They will make their home with the groom's mother on W. Main street. The bride is a very attractive young lady. Mr. Collins—"Red," as he is familiarly known to his friends —is a well-known young contractor of this city. FINE PEACHES Dr. C. S. McCall "Farmer" Mc- Call, as he is sometimes called by his friends, since purchasing the Davis place recently, left a sack of fine peaches with the Editor Friday that are, so far as we know, the first of this year's crop. They were luscious and much appreciated. Dr. McCall is making a splendid country home of his new purchase and gets great delight and pleasure from his garden, fruits, vegetables and his cow. "Doc" is about as good at farming as he is as a dentist—and that is saying a great deal. For the high school students, the tui tion will be eight dollars a or four dollars per term failure. The teachers for the summer school are the best in the state and the pupils will accomplish much if they attend this school. For a number of years Forest City has had a summer school for the pri mary grades but this is the first year that the high school failures will have a chance to make up back work It is hoped that a number of boys and girls will take advantage of this opportunity. DR. HILTON I. JONES ! ADDRESSES KIWANIS Noted Scientist Guest Of Club and Makes Short Talk; Splendid Meeting. The Kiwanis Club was greatly in terested in a short talk by Dr. Hil ton I. Jones, noted scientist, at the meeting Monday night. Dr. Jones, a guest of the club, was billed to speak in the chautauqua tent the same eve ning. Mr. Morancy, advance man for Redpath's, was also a guest of the club. Dr. Jones' talk was short, but ex ceedingly interesting. He is one of America's greatest scientists, as very ably demonstrated during his lec ture here Monday night. Dr. Jones talked principally upon chemical actions of the body and brought out some new and startling facts. At one time he told of the fact that there are seven times more salt in tears of anger than in tears of joy; also that there is great dan ger in eating a hard boiled egg when in anger, as the chemical properties brought into action under the stress of anger when eating the egg are the same as would be in eating a toadstool. Dr. Jones closed with an interesting outline of what might be accomplished by control of mind in community suggestion. To think col lectively and in the right manner would result in a great good and growth to the community, according to the speaker. A great suggestion —and one to be taken to heart by the club. Dr. Duncan read an extract from a Spartanburg newspaper, wherein the correspondent spoke of an effort to have the scenic highway cut across from Chesnee to Rutherfordton, thus leaving out such prominent places as Cliffside, Henrietta, Avondale, Caro leen, Alexander and Forest City. We do not know what this writer had been smoking. Anyway, he was away off his base. Should that idea pre vail, tourists would miss in passing the very best sections of the county. A committee was appointed to look into the matter and take steps to have the road come through as it should—through Cliffside and the other points to Forest City and then over the paved highway to Ruther fordton. The club was honored by the pres ence of several guests. The pro gram, in charge of Mr. Thos. G. Stone, was good. The attendance prize went to Dr. R. R. Howes.
