Ci.aston county will ha\e its first representative to occupy the Governors man sion in the State C apitol. Enough cannot be said m glowing tribute to Major Cherry, one of the truly great North C arolin ians of the present time. Rising from the position ot a poor country lad to a position of eminence in local and state government. R, Gregg C herry is an example of the adage "where there's a will, there's a way". He worked Ills way through school and had embarked on his career as an attorney when \\ olid W ai 1 canu along and he the call lor sei \ ice to his country. He served overseas and rose to the rank ol Captain, commanding a machine gun company which aided in breaking the Hindenburg Line. He attained the rank of Major in the National Cuai'd in which he was quite active until 1922. founder and Commander of Gaston County's first American Legion post, he became State Commander of the North Carolina De partment of the American Legion in 1928. Major (Cherry is prominent in religious and fraternal life. For many years iie. has been a member of the board of stewards of the First Methodist C hurch of Gas tonia. He is a member ol the Masonic Orders; and was Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias in 1924. vjince 1931 Major Cherry has served in every session of the North Carolina General Assembly, seven terms in the House and two in'the Senate. He was Speaker of the Huuse jn the regular 1937 session and in the special sessions of 1936 and 1939 and has held many important legislative chairmanships and member ships. In the very complex times that are ahead for this and other slates of the Union, North Carolina must necessarily have a man in the Governors chair who has a very keen insight into legislative matters, an insight which has come from long experience; a mail who has a first-hand knowledge of state finance; a man who is a natural leader and who can inspire his people to higher and nobler achievements; and. above all, a man who has the vision and foresight to plan now for the many postwar problems which are bound to occur. Major R. Gregg Cherry is the man who meets these requisites and many others too numerous to mention. “May Time Is Cherry Time in North Caro lina’’ and Saturday, May 27th. will be "C" Day in the Land of the Long Leaf Pine. Don't shirk your responsibility as a voter! Go to the polls on "C" Day and cast your vote for Gregg Cherry, Gaston County's candidate for the Governor ship of North Carolina. Divided They Stand As far as we can see, both the officials, of Mont gomery Ward and the leaders of the CIO union were right in their claims about the extent of the loyalty to the union among the employees of that com pany. When the election was held the union won out by a vote of 2.340 for the union as compared .with 1.565 against it. But there were 4,727 employees eligible to vote, meaning that 832 did not express their opinion. It is obvious that most of those were not very strong for the union or they would have showed up for the election. Actually, the union therefore did not quite get the support of 50 per cent of the employees. Of course, in an election of this kind, not much consideration should be given to those who are not interested enough either way to express their opinion. But the vote does serve to indicate a sharp difference among workers in the same plant over the benefits of membership in a union. We sometimes get the habit of thinking of all the workers in a large plant as being devout union supporters. This example shows that there is almost as great a difference of opinion about unions among those in unionized plants as there is among the people as a whole. Working For Unemployment The percentage of our adult population on the Federal payroll is the greatest in history. Notwithstanding the wide spread benefits resulting from free enterprise, there are new persons, some in high government positions clamoring for a new order; but they refrain from stating exactly what this new order is to be. Their acts, however, speak louder than words. Their acts show that as a substitute for f>ee enterprise, they propose to establish a plan, directed and controlled by government of ficials.”—John D. Miller, Susquehanna, Pa., President Emeritus of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, onal Day Messages &fjOE A PARADY ON THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS” OR "THE DRAFTEE S LAMENT” By Llovd C. Nyman 'Twas the eve of Induction, and’all through the town, Not a Draftee was sleeping, much less laying down. Their houses were sold and bossinesses let— Their wives all had jobs for debts to be met; While Mamma and 1 had just ceased oiir despa it And made up our minds to quit tearing uui huh I When out on the street there arose such a clatter, 1 sprang to the window to see what was the matter. The newsboy was shouting his "extra” below As one who alone is "in on the know." 1 sprang to the radio, twisted tlie switch, Turned up the volume, adjusted the pilch. The newsboy arrived with his extra in glee. With a sarcastic look, he stood gazing at me. When What to my wandering eyes should appeal But a horrible headline too terribly clear; With six columns of type, and mote on page tlnee, Which told in a glance 1 was once again free. The radio, warming, began blasting the dope; The headlines verified, 1 quickly lost hope. Yes, strange to relate, I had dreaded tins fate Of having postponement of my induction date. We’ve been up and then down—out and then in, Till we don’t know where we finish or where to begin Conflicting and fighting their speeches did fly. They shouted and hollered their ideas t.ii the sky. 1 On Congress! On Hershey ! On Paul V -McNutt! | N’ow State Boards! Appeal Boards — and everything hut — i To the top of the White House! To the top ».r the wall, Now blast away, blast away, blast away alt. As dry leaves before a wild hurricane i’ly And meeting an object, mount to .flic sky. So, up in the air their prediction's they flew, With lots of dire threats and promises, too. And, then in a twinkling our plans were all dashed. By the strange vacillations that Washington hashed. As I breathed a sad sigh and lugiibi urns moan A fanciful vision entered my dome. Old “Manpower Question" stood trembling tbeie, Afraid to stand up or sit on a chair: He was dressed in old rugs from waistline down, But wore formal dress front there to his crows. His shoes were all tattered—his trousers a sight-. But the stones in his shirt front gleamed like a light. Half of his face was bearded and rough, While the other was shaven ami tendei a fluff. He smiled on one side — the othei he ft owned, hiom the front he looked skinny--lion* the real lie looked round A bundle of gifts be bore in a sock Which was partly secured by a well-rusted lock. He had a strange face, a queei little dunce — He’d laugh and He'd cry together at once, A sneer on his lips—and a snide of good cheer, Soon gave me to know 1 bad Fl.h.N 1 t Tu FEAR. He spoke^not a word—but opened Ids sack — Have rne “i-A" and then took it hack. And putting his thumb to bis cute little nose, He wiggled his fingers, and kicked up bis toes He jumped out the door, gave a rousing Bronx cheer, And away he escaped like foam on a beer. But I heard him exclaim as he vanished is space_ “Keep your fingers well crossed, you know, ju-t in case.’’ Chauffers Must Renew License Beginning 22nd Driver License Examiners throughout the State will accept applications for renewal of Chauf feurs’ licenses for 1944-45, begin ning May 22, Ronald Hocutt, di rector of the Highway Safety Di vision, announced today All North Carolina chauffeurs’ licenses are issued for one year and expire at Midnight June 20, 1944.

SEITZ i__ '•Dink” Dellinger, RFIj, Cherry ville, located north of Cherryville, topdressed several acres of alfalfa this spring. He applied, with a drill 300 lbs. acid uhosphate and 35 lbs. borax per acre. He plans to sow an additional five acres this fall and is having the soil analized for the lime and fertilizer requirements, Sid Hovfs, R-1, Dallas, near Alexis, disked an old patch of kudzu this spring to improve the growth. He grubbed scattering sprouts and cut the stand this spring with a tractor and disc, and the stand and growth shows re markable improvement. He plans to use this patch for grazing. M. A. Stroupe. Cherryv.ill'e, on his farm located about one and one-half miles west of Cherr.vville, has an excellent stand of sericea that was sown in a meadow strip last spring. He plans to drill in as a topdress a mixture of acid phos phate and potash at the rate of 300 lbs. pei- acre. This strip in ad dition to being used for perennial hav will carry terrace water from the field. W. W. Weaver, R-l, Bessemer City, located near Concord Church improved some old pasture by drilling on the old sod some ad ditional orchard, dallis grass and lespedeza seed, with a complete fertilizer. These grasses are begin ning to show up well anil the ferti lizer has stimulated the growth of all the grasses. It pay to topdress pasture grasses every spring for maximum grazing. Roy E. Eaker, Cherryville, this [last spring, broadcast approxi mately two tons of hay per acre. Mr. Eaker plans to maintain this alfalfa field by topdressing every spring _with manure and phosphate to return to the land whai the preceeding crops have taken from the land. FOR GOOD SHOE REPAIRING j At Lower Cost, See COLEY’S SHOE SHOP CARDUI 0 “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS ond Author of INRUENCI NOW * DRAMATIZE YOUR IDEA! Do you want to fret somebody to do something toi y°|* • * here is one simple way to make this appeal. Dramatize it! The UCA-Victor company, fannies, New Jersey, was doing wa^p cork. The company found that the greatest draw-back m getting the work out was that the men and women were late of mornings. The leads of the departments went among the workers impioiing them to be more prompt. The results were disappointing, i he company then lad speakers deliver messages on the subject ol punctuality. The peaker dealt in glowing term. Results still inadequate. Then one of the bright hoys is the advertising department hought up an idea that got action. The company had a pasteboard uler six inches long made. A ruler was inclosed is each pay envelope. Printed on the back was tins: '‘Workers in one of out plants lost 172,1180 minutes in one month because they were late. "Poland was conquered in only 37,440 minute*. "France was conquered in 44,640 minutes alter the Maginot line had been broken. ‘‘Mgke it a rule to be on time,” The vivid dramatization worked wonders—did more than all the lectures and pleadings. The workers could see in one glance ex actly how serious were the consequences when workers were habit ually late. The very next day after these cardboard rulers went into he pay envelopes, there was a decided improvement in punctuality in that plant. The company had reached its employees by dramatizing the thought for them. The same company wanted to get its employees to turn in ideas, and a request was issued to put up notices to that effect. A few ideas straggled in. But not the quantity the company had hoped for. Then the company decided to dramatize the appeul, so it had a cardboard replica of a microscope maee; about six inches tong. Then in the middle of the paper microscope it fastened a penny. Printed on the paper microscope was; "A penny tor your thoughts. Dollars for your worth-while suggestions." Then along the handle of the micro* scope was printed: "Examine your job lot ideas." One ot these paper microscopes was put in each pay envelope. Ideas came in faster than they ever had before in the history of the company. Cash prizes were given for the best ideas, but what bad broken the logjam .was the paper microscope with its penny and the catchlines. A few months later the company created a poster showing avia tors on a raft in the South Seas Then the catchliiu-s; "Ideas kept Captain Eddie Kickenbackei afloat for three weeks. Vutir ideas will sink Hitler. Let's sink him.” More ideas came winging in. Thomas A. Edison was troubled by the workers in his East Orange plant coming in late. One day, at five minutes after the hour, he had a sign printed and hung over the face of the clock. It said: ”1 am ashamed to look at you.” So if you have an idea to present, dramatize it!
