Meet your friends at the fair grounds. There seems to be some division of opinion as to the advisability of closing - ror a hall noliday this sea son, One mighty good merchant sug gested to The Courier yesterday that in his opinion, Forest City would lose in business and also in prestige if the closing went into effect. Do as you please, gentlemen, but let us make no move that will lose any business during the summer. Who said hard times? Traveling men tell us that Forest City is the liveliest and hustlinest town on their itinerary. All we need is iaith and plenty of hard work. Just watch us when the gas men go to work laying the pipe lines. And then later will come the improvements and general impetus along all lines when the new utilities company gets going. Are you reading the editorials each week in th e Trade at Home ad? If not, cast your optics over them and learn how to make our county prosper by keeping our money at home. The banks closed, Hoover pros perity set in, and in spite of it all, Forest City and Rutherford county continues to move forward. Our faith in, and love for, the good old county has been materially increased at the way she stands up under what weaker communities would term ad versity. Rutherford has proved her mettle and is sound to the core. By the way, has it ever occurred to you, kind reader, that the editor would appreciate a renewal of your subscription during these so-called "dull" summer days? There has been no decrease in the expense of producing your favorite county pa per, although there has been quite a falling off of revenue during the so-called "hard times." KIWANIANS MEET IN JOINT SESSION Rutherfordton and Forest City! Hold Interesting Meet on All Kiwanis Night. jJj- ; . , All Kiwanis night was fittingly j el served in Forest City when Ruth-1 crfordton and the local club met in joint session at Blanton's Cafe at 7 o'clock Monday evening. A large number of our neighboring Kiwanians were present and a most interesting program was rendered. Dr. R. «R. Howes presided in the absence of President Howard Doggett in a most impressive manner. Mrs. J. S. Rudi u\\ presided at the piano. The visi tors were welcomed by Dr. Howes, J with response by Editor R. E. Price, | of Rutherfordton. A feature of the evening was the. singing and play ing of the Keeter twins, little Misses Lillian Pershing and Vivian Wilson, twelve years old daughters, of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Keeter, of Ruther fordton. Their piano duets were hugely enjoyed and they were the recipients of tumultuous applause and numerous encores. It was their first appearance here and all are hoping that they will return at an early date. The keynote of the meeting was the short talk on "Co-operation," by Attorney M. L. Edwards. Mr. Ed wards was warmly congratulated up on his splendid effort. It was so time ly and to the point, The Courier will try and give a few excerpts: "Noth ing can be accomplished without co operation, said Mr. Edwards in cpening, and then went on to say that in every walk of life, and from r the beginning to the end, one must have co-operation to succeed in any undertaking. "Now, above all times, i* the moment for co-operation. Our county has not gone forward as it [should have done, especially in the political world, on account of the k.ck of co-operation, as it takes sol id backing to make leaders," said Mr. Edwards, who related how the coun ty could have fared better als G in every line with better working and pulling together for any goal. "Ruth erf ordton and Forest City, being so closely connected, should put over every program for the good of both I-laces and the county at large by working in close co-operation," and then related many things that could be accomplished, one of the , most striking of which was his suggestion itnat the two clubs should sponsor a j movement for the beautification of the beautiful driveway between the two cities, suggesting that they start a movement to plant, trees and grass along the highway and improve its appearance in many other ways. This suggestion met with prompt and hearty approval by all present and all feel that something will come of j tie plan outlined by Mr. Edwards. He also suggested that the two cities together with Spindale, move to get an airport, situated possibly between here and He also advocated [a move for better farm conditions land was warm in his approval of the | Idea of boosting the tri-county fair idea which is now lying dormant with wonderful future if brought to a suc cessful termination. With a little v. ork, Polk, McDowell, Henderson and possibly Burke counties might be induced to join in the movement to have a big joint fair held each year at the adequate Rutherford County! Fair Grounds. We hope the whole I county will join in this movement j to get the neighboring counties join ! us in this project. Mr. Edwards was followed by Edi tor Price, who made a short, talk in j which he discussed the proposition J of the gas franchise and the selling of the water and light plants by Rutherfordton, Spindale and Forest City. Mr. Pric e told of how Ellen boro and Mooresboro were well pleased after having disposed of their plants, and urged that there be no delay in our cities falling in line with this movement to sell, showing many of the advantages of the pro position, not the least of which would be a reduced tax rate, cheaper rates, etc., and the benefits of having som e good strong company entering thi-j field and helping in the developing of the whole section. He claims that Rutherfordton-Spindale are practical ly unanimous .in the idea of selling, and we feel that we can assure him that when the vote is taken in For est City it will be found that the pub lic here is also strong for the seli :ng of the utility plants. Dr. A. C. Duncan, the next speak er. was warmly appreciative of the suggestions made by Messrs. Ed- wards and Price, and asked for con certed action upon all of the plans suggested by those gentlemen. He also gave strong endorsement to the move t 0 back the county fair and was also heartily in favor of the move to get the 'neighboring coHinties' join us in a tri-county fair( which he said could be developed into the best and .strongest in this section of the state. Chas. Z. Flack moved that com mittees be appointed from the two Kiwanis clubs, the Lion's club and the County Club to work out the suggestions advanced by Mr. Ed wards and others, and this will be done. The joint meeting was a most ben eficial affair and much good will come irom the co-operative backing of the many good suggestions made at this particular meeting. Mrs. Q. A. Collins has returned fiom a delightful visit with her sis ter, Mrs. Z. M. Blackwell, of Glen dale, St., C. • The driver who makes an abrupt stop and slides on his tires not. only wears out rubber,, but takes a chance on a puncture.i A tire may suffer no damage in rolling over a nail or glass but when it's sliding it's likely to pick up anything. Cars with two-wheel brakes are get ting fewer and fewer, but there arc still a good many left on the roads. When you notice a very old auto mobile, therefore, make extra allow ance for the distance in which it can be stopped. Watch your distance w T hen follow ing a car equipped with chains. It can make a quicker stop that a car without chains. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1930. Local Happenings Mr. James S.
