PASTEURIZING
PLANT DISCUSSED
BY DAIRYMEN
■} ■' ... V
Meeting At Oakland Well At
tended by Farmers and
Dairymen—To Inspect
Shelby Plant.
The dairy farmers who supply
milk to the towns of Rutherfordton,
Spindale, Forest City and Alexan
der, gathered at Oakland school last
Wednesday night to discuss whether
or- sot it would be practical to in
stall a pasteurizing plant for all the
above named towns.
The meeting was called by Mr. M.
L. Treadwell, Agricultural teacher,
at the Central High school. Mr. O.
J. Holler, Manager of the Ruther
ford County Farmers Federation,
and Mr. D. H. Sutton, Agricultural
teacher, at Cool Springs High school
were invited to take a part in the
discussion. A majority of the dairy
ment were present, and seemed to
be very much impressed with the
movement. Many times they took the
lead in discussion of the project, and
offered many helpful suggestions.
Mr. Holler told the farmers that
the Federation was ready to help
and finance this proposition if they
would organize themselves, and do
all they could themselves.
At the close of the meeting, a
committee was appointed to go to
Shelby, to investigate the plant there,
also to visit some of the farmers,
which furnish milk to this plant.
Thus they hope to determine wheth
er or not a plant is likely to be a
success here. This committee will
journey to Shelby Saturday the 18th
They will report their findings at a
meeting on the 22nd, at Oakland
so?-. v -$ x 7.00 p. ni.
Mi-.' li * j.
of the Farmers Federation, ana sev
eral other influential men have been
invited to be present. Mr. McClure
will probably have a definite propo
sition to make the farmers at that
time.
Death Comes to Prominent
Citizen After Few Days
Slight Illness—Funeral
Held Saturday.
Cliffside, Jan. 13. —Last Thursday
afternoon about two o'clock just as
the undertaker was preparing to
place the body of Mr. G. K. Moore
in the hearse to go to Pleasant
Grove for burial, news came of the
sudden death of Mr. Robert E.
Haynes at his home at Avondale.
Though Mr. Haynes had been slight
ly ill his passing brought to his fam
ily and friends a great shock all the
more overwhelming because of the
fact that the hearts of his family
and friends were already heavy with
grief over the passing of two very
dear friends and relatives.
Funeral services were held Satur
day afternoon from the Haynes
Memorial Baptist church, at Avon
dale, of which Mr. Haynes was a
member. Rev. A. T. Stoudenmire,
pastor of the Avondale church, was
in charge of the service and was as
sisted by Rev. D. H. Reinhardt, pas
tor of the Cliffside Methodist church,
and Dr. Zeno Wall, of Shelby.
Interment was in the Cliffside
cemetery where his grave was com
pletely covered with many beautiful
floral tributes of which there was
such a profusion the graves of his
first wife and a child was also eov-.
ered with several wreaths and other
designs placed on the graves of Mr.
R. R. Haynes and two wives.
Hr. Haynes leaves besides his
companion three children; Raleigh
Haynes of Cliffside; Mrs. Dennis
Camp, Forest City; and Miss Margar
et Haynes at home. Surviving broth
ers are Messrs. Charles Haynes and

Business Good—
Or Bad—Which?
Chief of police, Chas. R. Price is
puzzled. He doesn't know whether
to say business is good or business
is dull. On last Saturday night for
the first time in many weeks not a.
single arrest was made by the police
department. According to Chief Price
right after the holidays the police
man's business is always dull, or
would you say good? Anyway,
whether you would call it dull times
or good times, the police do not have
much to do for everyone is on their
good behavior.
All joking aside, it is hoped by the
police department that this good rec
ord can be maintained and that peo
ple will continue to stay on their
good behavior.

SI.OO Per Year in Advance
The Forest City high school as it
was called in 1924 was the first
school in Rutherford county to be
accredited by the Southern Associa
tion of colleges and High schools.
That same year the double promo
tion system was established in gram
mar school. This system makes it pos
sible for a pupil who fails on a grade
for a half year to begin work and
make a half grade. This system was
begun in the second grade and now
we have the first class graduating at
mid-term. In four more years Cool
Springs Township High school will
graduate a class in January and one
in June.
The double promotion system is
very popular for two reasons. First
it enables a pupil to get out of
school a half year earlier and there
by permitting the pupil to begin col
lege work a half year sooner. If the
student does not want to go to col
lege, but wants to go to work, he
will have an extra half year's work
to his credit. It costs as much to
teach a pupil a grade the second
time as it did the first time. There
fore the expense of instruction for
a half year will be saved for the tax
payers of the township.
The health of the pupils deter
mine in a large way the progress of
the pupils. A health program has
been established in the schools of
Cool Springs Township. The princi
pals inspect the lavatories and the
building aild: grounds each day. Also
.the buildings are ££#.4as, nearly the
'1 "" 1 1 ■ "X *-' -V 1 »Tj' ■
right temperature as pctfsjDte.
In addition to this the pupils are
rated from the physical examination
given by Dr. W. C. Twitty, the
county health physician. The pupils
are rated on five points, hearing, vis
ion, teeth, throat, and correct weight.
This grouping will soon be complet
ed. All the boys and girls who meet
these requirements will be given a
blue button and ribbon. A second
group wiR be given white buttons
but will later be given a blue button.
This group may have defective teeth.,
bad tonsils, or be more than 5 per
cent over or under weight. This
would mean two pounds for a child
who weighs forty pounds and six
pounds for a pupil who should weigh
120 pounds. Unless a pupil is ten
per cent or more over weight or un
der weight his health is not regard
ed as being in danger. As soon as
these defects are remedied the pu
pils will admitted to the Blue Bib
j
bon Club. The club will have over
sixty members from the second thru
the seventh grades in Forest City.
The other schools of the Township
will have members in the club too.
The names of the Blue Ribbon Club
will appear in the next issue of the
paper.
