October First Still Deadline ( On School Age Clarifying confusion about the -chool entrance age for children Cherryville superintendent of schools today issued a statement pointing out that there had been no change in the age deadline, and it is still October 1st. A child must be six years old on or before October 1st in or der to enter school that year. Considerable confusion has arisen about this, Superintendent , Starnes pointed out, due to the I fact that a widelypublicized bill was introdued in the 1943 session sion of the legislature which which would have moved the age deadline up to January 1st, al lowing any child who would be fi on or before January 1st to en ter school the previous Septem This bill, howev'er, failed to pass, contrary to the impression seemingly held by many parents, and the October deadline still re mains in effect. In order to enter school next September, therefore, a child must be six vears old on or be fore October 1st.

The largest crowds seen here since the pre Christinas trading rush were in evidence Saturday as they thron ged the uptown business district.

All Candidates Are To Be Un-Opposed Tues. First Time In History of Cherryville That City Election Was Without Bi'ter Conquest; Town and School Affairs Appeat As Calm To Unusual Contests For City’s Government Seat. LARGE VOTE EXPECTED, HOWEVER. Next Tuesuday. election, day in Chenyville, will mark a new precedent in city elections here. Never before, old politicians point out, has an unopposed list of city officials been elected in Chenyville. Heretofore, city elections have always been hotly contested by eager-seeking candi dates, with each exerting every ounce of energy and pol itical technique known in the game of politics. This ap plies to both the city lathers and to the school board. Neither are opposed, the filling in of two vacancies on the school board, are by candidates running without com petition. Max Gardner Will Not Run For U. S. Senate I liiivc decided Tint tn heroine i candidate for the I'niteil States Senate in lpli. In jus: tee tn mv i fiends a'ltil to the general public ! Tell it my duty to make this innouneetnent without delay. It 1 .titered the campaign I would make a vigorous, driving tiu lit. ;i' I have always done in the past. I do not know how to take it easy in a political contest, I am told by my physician that foe me to make a lone, hard statewide contest at this time would endanger mv health Thi~ is also the. view of my family. ’Idiote is tin appeal from this sensible decision 1 would tievyr have considered makiit”' the race for the Senate in this period of my life except j for the conviction that tile con | y'iction that the decisions of the j 1'nited States Senate in the days that lie ahead will mark the march of human progress and human security for jye iterations vet to come I! r.ui.'c of this fact 1 )>:iv" ho n deeply nnivfil by the efforts of tlioi sands of citi/ctis of t!ii> Stale who have urtied me to lie comp a candidate for the I'nitod States Senate.

I have been honored many times with the trust and ronli deliee of the pople of my na tive state, and I shall forever hi grateful for their sustaineo kindness. loyalty and friendshin I haw never held public office except by the stiffratre of the Voters of N’orth Carolina and they have always elected me to every public office to which I have aspired. With due humility I could have received no higher •lust one o‘t’er \vo"d ts loiv as I live my chief public concern will be for the welfare, semiritv. and happiness of all the people of N'ortli Carolina. combi” 1 with my sens' of dntv and pat riotic devotion to the hieh ideals of this republic, which are linked together with my fervent prayers for a permitne.nl peace—a ne- ca created out of the unselfish | brains and hearths of V free peo jle. Despite the fact that Cherry ville men are busily engaged in matters which promise to bring certain victory to the American soldiers, together with the return of our own native sons, there is very reason to believe that a normal vote will be cast Tuesday. “For,’’ Said one of Cherryv'ille’s oldest citizens, “we are too busy to run for office, but we will not be too busy to do our patriotic duty and vote". Vet, on the other hand, there is still another side, possible to enter into the voting that will mean a decidedly small tun t - i'i Votes cast, it was said in political circle. The fact that Cherry ville, and that means the vYiteis have shown, already, theit approval of all candidates and may not deem it necessary to get nil from work or to lose their daylight sleeping time in ordei to Veic. In the event the latte: proves the case, it will entail a 10(1 i,or cent olirce of the rn pie’s satisfaction and approval of all candidate#, thus causing each candidate to assume uie total cot,tii once of each individual in the combined citizenry of Cher 11 owever, the EAGLE is not making any kind of forecast, simply calling to the, aft .ntion ot tin- people that next Tuesday IS ELECTION DAY in Cherry ville. The ticket to he \ ill oil nil follows, and it is en tirely possible that many people will cast their usual vote in order tu be numbered among those par ticipating in the town’s most dn usual eh ctioti. The following- ticket, which is sure to be placed into office Tuesday, gives the EAGLE its one and only opportunity during its 5 veals of constant publi cation to name the victors fefoie the election IN A CHERRY VII.KL CITY ELECTION FOIL CITY C LERK ALFOMSO BEAM FOR RECORDER ROBERT R.
