SHELBY GIRL WINS
IN ESSIT CONTEST
Mias I la Mae Bnst Awarded First
Prize in Slate. Eligible Fur
The National Contest.
Miss Ila Mae Bost, of the senior
class of the Shelby high .chool and
daughter of Mr. L. C. Boat, was
awarded the first prire for North
Carolina in the Nation'll essay con
test, sponsored by the Woman’s Over
seas Service league in the interest or
Citizens Military Training camps.
Miss Bost will have her essay judged
with the essay winners of other states
by the national board at Washington.
The writers of the three best essays
in the United States will be rewarded
by a free trip to Washington with all
expenses paid, including spending
money, railroad fare and all inciden
tals of the trip, and will be accom
panied by a chaperone.
The; winning essay written by Miss
Bost, which is a credit to her and her
school, on “Why a Boy I Know
Should Enter a Military Training
Camp," is as follows:
“The boys of the world, like all
Gaul are readily divisable into three
divisions. Boys unsullied by bad hab
its constitute one; boys so hardened
that only extreme experiences can
change them from the other; and fi
nally, those boys who may b? led into
either of the two divisions above ac
cording to training and environment.
“Taken from the last mentioned
group is a boy approaching the fork
roads of life; he will willingly go
either way, and the temptation of the
downward path is strong. At this
point in any young man’s life there
should be a tiding agency, a saving
institution which will intervene and
morally support him until his footing
is certain. This great government of
ours has seen fit to expend time and
money to provide just such a haven
of succor for the youth of the land in
establishing Military Training camps.
“It is hardly fair to pronounce this
great man producing agency a mili
tary training camp as it is not re
quired of any boy that he join the
reserves even. The benefits to be de
rived from the camp are three-fold,
the character, discipline and robust
ness developed there will be remem
bered long after the military feature
is forgotten.
“It would be hard to conceive of a
better outing to be offered any boy
even if expenses were incurred in ob
taining it, but it is free and the of.,
ferings are many, such as physical
training, daily military practice, re
creation in form of best athletic ac
tivities, dancing, music, and the very
best of scientifically prepared foods,
just such an outing as the wealthy
man of today pays hundreds of dol
lars for and in doing so knows that
his son will be greatly benefitted.
Again the ‘Dollar Camp’- is devoid of
the crowning asset that is featured by
Uncle Sam’s camp, that of religious
and moral suasion without which
neither camp nor boy can be complet
ely successful."
Entertaining Play
By High Pupils
That the students of the Shelby
high school can create as well as imi
tate in presenting their dramatic tal
ent was evidenced in the three-act
play, “Anne What’s Her Name”, giv
en at the Central school auditorium
Friday evening before an interested
house. The play was a conglomeration
of all the stage arts and entertaining
enough in each to make it hard to
classify under any head unless comedy
and portrayal of age characteristics
were more outstanding. Every charac
ter was well presented, especially the
ones handled by Misses Frances Whis
nant and Louise Lever.
The cast of characters follow:
Anthony Wheat, “Tony", a victim
of circumstances, Broadus McSwain;
Burks, his valet, W. D. Babington;
Marjorie, A very modern young wo
man, Ruth Turner; Aunt Julia, the
judge’s sister in-law, Isabel Hoey;
Barbara, a flapper who flaps, Mary
Elizabeth Black; Mooney, the temper
mental maid, with nerves, Louise Lev
er; Willie Peabody, the boy from next
door, Willie Pendleton; Doran, a plain
clothes detective. Junius Auten;
Gran’ma, age 82, but with young ideas
Frances Whisnant; Louise By us, her
companion, Helen Campbell; Judge
Bunby, the head of the house, Charles
Eskridge; Doctor Oked, a friend of the
family, Ed McCurry; Nancy Brown,

DRAPER SPEAKS OF
BEAUTY OF SHELBY
1 Prominent Guest Compliments and
Criticises Appearance of Town
B -fore Kiwanianti.
j Shelby Kiwanis Thursday even
| ing at Cleveland Springs heard an cx
I ceptional business talk by E. S. Dra
| per, prominent landscape architect of
Charlotte—a talk that was open and
' to the point and with an important
, bearing on the future Shelby. The oc
casion was a civic improvement pro
i gram in charge of Mr. Forrest Esk
i ridge and the speaker was well in
j keeping with the program. Mr. Dra
' per told the Kiwanians about Shelby
| as the outsider secs it,
an outsider that takes care
ful note of appearances, because his
profession is to baautify. His remarks
were complimentary, erilcal and in
forming. “Charlotte would give many
thousands of dollars for the Shelby
court square, a feature that attracts
every passer-by", Mr. Draper declar
ed, (>ut in the next breath he told of
the “eye-sires" Sheiby should give
much to do away with It was no bid
for business, without favoritism but
for the welfare of the Shelby to be.
To Entertain Champions.
At the conclusion of the meeting
upon the motion of Mr. J. F. Jenkins
and the unanimous approval of the
entire club it was announced that at
an early evening the Shelby
high school baseball club, champions
of North Carolina, and their coach,
Dick Gurley, and the graduating class
of the high school would be the guests
of the club and the program devoted
to their entertainment. Every mem
ber seemed enthused over entertain
ing the champions, their coach and the
graduates and the program is expect
ed to be one of the best of the year.
“Prepare for Future."
Mr. Eskridge opened the program
with a review of Shelby’s attractive
features, a discussion of civic im
provement, a tribute to the late Mrs.
E. Y. Webb, who was deeply interest
ed in the appearance of the town—
and with his opening Mr. Eskridge be
came a humorist.
Opening his talk, which centered
around a plea to Kiwanians to plan
and prepare for the future, Mr,
Draper stated that until this visit he
had seen very little of Shelby other
than that seen by the casual passer
by. “My first impressions of Shelby
were not of the best,” he said. They
were from train windows, and he
scored heavily the appearance of the
local station yards and urged the cit
izens to improve the appearance of
these important points as they are
the travellers’ impression of Shelby
The guest was taken for a ride over
Shelby prior to the meeting and he
discussed points, good and bad, noted
on his tour of the town. The buildings
and grounds of the Shelby hospital
and Central school and the manner in
which they are being maintained were
complimented. The court square is the
talk of every person who passes
through the town and should be one
of the most beautiful spots in the
country, he stated, although hp crit
icised the trash and general appear
ance, which could easily be remedied.
Church yards and other spots brought
forth more beneficial criticism, and
will likely prove of great value. “Park
ing strips,” that little spot of ground
between the sidewalk and curb, was
suggested as one of the main features
in a civic improvement campaign.
The strips, although minor features
deeply impress outsiders, and should
be grassed and kept in orderly condi
tion. This should he done he suggest
ed through the cooperation of home
owners in maintaining the portion in
front of their homes and lawns.
with the idea of preparing for the
future Mr>Draper explained the value
of zoning and planning playgrounds
and parks. By zoning he referred to
restrictions that should be placed on
certain sections, especially residential
and denoting types and nature of
structures. Although a town of 7,000
now, Shelby should look forward to
the city of 50,000.’’ Zoning power as it
is given city officials by legislature
is an important factor in the city to
be. Parks and playgrounds are a ne
cessary detail of any growing town,
was the statement of the speaker, who
considers Shelby such a town. Big
business men who go to Mr. Draper
for plans to build mill villages and
pay him for his suggestions and ideas
always ask that the location and site
include ample playgrounds and park
space and facilities. "I noticed several
groups of young boys playing base
ball on different streets of the town
this afternoon and I want to tell you
men that this will result in a tragedy
if kept up. The children must play,
but give them proper places in which
to play,” he urged.
“Shelby is the gateway to the great
mountain section of Western Carolina
and should be one of the most attrac
tive and beautiful towns in the entire
country,” Mr. Draper said in conclu
sion, “and I want to see some organi
ation, or several organizations, wo- j
men and men, get behind a cine ini- i
I.umhcrton Candidate for Governor to
Address (fathering at Court
House at 8 O’clock.
Hon. Angus Wilton McLean, of
Lutnberton, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor, will
speak in the court house here Thurs
day evening at 8 o’clock, according to
an announcement made here today by
Attorney D. Z. Newton, McLean’s
campaign manager for Cleveland
county. The address of the guberna
torial candidate will be prior to the
chautauqua program so that those
who desire to hear the address of the
Robeson man may also attend tent
program.
Mr. McLean's visit means that
Cleveland county people will hear
both Democratic candidates, Hon. J.
W. Bailey having already appeared
here. None of the other state candi
dates have addressed fatherings here
except Mr J P Cook, of Concord, can
didate for state auditor, who spoke
to the Kiwanis club come time back,
Although hi speech was about ‘his
boys” at the training school and noth
ing was said of political aspirations.
Mr. Newton urges every Democrat
ic voter in Cleveland county, women
and men, to come out Thursday even
ing and hear Mr. McLean. “Mr. Mc
Lean is no silver-tongued orator,” Mr.
Newton declared, “for there were no
schools of elocution and oratory on
the farm, where he was reared, and
lie spent his time ‘calling hogs and
hollering gee-haw to a mule’, but he
is an interesting talker and has sound
business ideas about being chief ex
ecutive of North Carolina. That he is
familiar with farm life and can talk
in the language of the farmer is
enough to draw a capacity crowd in
this county, which is proud of its
farmers”. Mr. Newton said in con
clusion, “One thing stands out above
all others about Mr. McLean, and
that is, that he was chosen by the late
Woodrow Wilson, democracy’s great
leader, as a member of the national
war finance board, and Wilson person
ally endorsed his record while a mem
ber of that board.”
“Adam’s Rib”~F"eature
At Princess Theatre
The Princess theatre offers today
(Tuesday), a rare treat in Cecil De
Mille’s great production, “Adam’s
Rib’” The cast features Milton Sills,
Elliott Dexter and many other fa
mous stars. This picture has been the
talk of the movie world and is one
of the best to be presented at the
Princess theatre this year. An extra
attraction Tuesday is the Fox News
reel. Wednesday the favorite Metro
picture of the year, “The Prisoners of
Zenda,” will be shown at the Princess.
This film probably appeals to every
class more than any ever screened
and has been showm elsewhere at high
admission charges, but the Princess
management announces that will be
shown here with out any extra charge.
Thursday, the beautiful Mary Miles
Minter appears in “The Drums of
Fate.” Novel and interesting are the
scenes in Africa with its dense jun
gles savage beasts and wild natives. A
story of adventure and romance, of

For some time citizens of No. 1

movement was endorsed by the Ki

A treat was held until the end of the
program, when one of the best negro
quartets ever heard here, entertained
in great fashion with several selec
tions. Warbling through plantation
songs and melodies the quartet was
considered one of the best single fea
tures heard by the club. The colored
singers, Clarence Cabaniss, James
Wallace, Odus Ramseur and Sam
Graham, are natives ,of Shelby and
gifted vocally, especially the bass sin
ger.
Guests for the evening included: E.

Those Who Graduate.
By authority of the board of educa
tion diplomas will be awarded to all
who have received 16 units of high
school credits. This means that the
graduate must show record of having
completed four studies in each year of
the four years. Graduation from the
Shelby high school gives the pupil un
conditional entrance to any college or
university in the Southern associa
tion. Along with this year’s graduates,
14 boys and girls will graduate from
the teacher training department. T"
each of these graduates the state will
issue elementary certificates in Class
A, which is the equivalent in credits
to one year in college plus summer
school work. This department is fin
anced and supervised by the State de
partment cf education. Miss Mary
Keller, of Knoxville, Tenn., an M. A.
graduate of Columbia university, is
in charge.
Best Year Yet.
superintendent l. U. (Jrmin was
naturally averse to boosting the
work of his school to the extent that
it has been the best year in the his
tory of the school, but a review of
the years work compared with that of
former years is his silent testimony.
“The school has made an enviable
record in athletics, debating, essays
and recreations in addition to the re
gular work,” he said. One athletic
team won the state championship;
the debating team remained until the
finals at Chapel Hill; Miss Ila Mae
Bost won the state essay prize; Miss
Charlotte Tedder won the prize given
by the Daughters of the Confederacy,
and Miss Minnie Eddins Roberts won
the Webb medal for county honors.
The enrollment has increased over last
year nearly 300 pupils. Final enroll
ment last year was 1,331. This year
it will be over 1,600..” Probably the
most important improvement is shown
in the fact that more pupils made the
honor roll this year and there are less
failures than ever before in the hos
tory of the school. “The school board
is making a joint proposition to the
patrons of the school that reveals
their interest in the children,” Pro
fessor Griffin added. “All pupils fail
ing on account of necessary causes
may make up the failure during the
six weeks summer school, which be
gins July 7. The board agrees to pay
one-half the tuition for these failures.
This means that the child who fails
may save a year’s tuition and work
