WHY YOU SHOULD ! ; VOTE FOR GRIFFIN. 1 . i Candidate for Commissioner is. Young Man of Vision, Energy and Ambition i As the Democratic Primary draws near and the voters are confronted I with a long list of candidates to select from, there is one name on the ticket for county commissioner that especially merits your attention and vote. This is Clarence Griffin. Every voter should take into con sideration what the respective candi dates stands for, who they are and what may reasonably be expected of them if nominated. Who He Is Mr. Griffin is News Editor of The Forest City Courier, a position which he has held four years. The very na ture of his work requires a close con , tact with county affairs. He is a ' young man of vision, ambition, fore j sight and energy. His deep interest in the county alone deserves for him the wholehearted support of every voter. A native of the county he has ever been interested in its pi*ogress. Mr. Griffin's work in collecting and preserving Rutherford's history re sulted a year ago in his selection as county historian by the unanimous vote of the County Board of Educa tion and Board of County Commis -1 sioners, working in conjunction with j the North Carolina Historical Com mission. What He Stands For Mr. Griffin, realizing the burden under which the taxpayers of Ruth erford are laboring, is unreservedly in favor of a more economical con duct of county government and has , "pledged his effort toward: j (1) Reduction of operating ex -1 pense of the county through curtail i ment and reduction of many I items appearing on the present | budget; (2) Toward a conservative expen diture of county funds; j (3) Toward securing a more equal distribution of improvements over Rutherford county. Many items now appearing on the budget can be materially reduced, and this, along with a conservative administration, is the only method of lowering the present tax rate, j Why You Should Vote For Him 1 Mr. Griffin deserves your support because he is a young man of energy and has the best interest of the county at heart. He has 'No axe to grind' and is eminently qualified for the position. He is asking for the office solely for the good he may accomplish if elected. From a long study of the county from the editor's chair he has come to know Ruther ford and its needs as few other in dividuals.—Pol; adv.

LAKE LURE * * * * Mrs. C. M. Harrill * ****❖ * * * * * Not far away, at the foot of a beautiful mountain, lies Lake Lure, appropriately named because one never feasts his eyes on this span of sparkling water without being called back. The hills are strangely beautiful with all kinds of trees budding and spreading out limbs of cooling shade. Then look at the bedded moss at your feet, sprinkled with tiny blooming flowers of every color. Looking down into the lake you may see one of God's most beautiful creations reflecting in a mirrow of clearest hue. The hills take on an other touch of color, shown on the canvas of green and silver. When the sun is sliding behind the distant hills and shedding golden rays on this colorful lake one has a feeling of enchantment. Though Dame Na ture herself is dumb, something speaks in our soul and draws us closer to all Nature and her wonder ful creations. Then comes the shadowing twi light and rustling wings of ducks leaving for their restful haunts. By moon light the scene grows even more beautiful. The gentle waves over the lake are turning into silver with stars like so many diamonds sparkling in this mirrowed water. Earth and sky alike are illumined in brilliant colors, giving the landscape new beauty in the softening lights. The mountains above are crowd ed with rainbow colors with the blue sky dipping lower for a back ground. Trails winding down to the lake are all aglow with rhododendron and FRIENDS > tffL dj/ v rctljuL I 1 1MB) I | llllf Beautiful a car to be proud of / wherever you go v Wherever the Bigger and Better Chevro- ous ability of the Bigger and Better Chev is driven, it is singled out for atten- rolet to meet every driving demand.
