The purpose of this club is to make improvements in the community. In the near future the club contemplates sponsoring several needed improvements. The first thing they will undertake, however, is to raise some funds to he _ spent on the interior of the school building and some equipment for the playground. The club has decided that the best way to raise the necessary funds for this much needed improvement is to give a box 'supper. The box supper will be held at the school building Saturday December 6th end the public is cordially invited to attend. Besides the sale of the boxes, sandwiches, hot chocolate and coffee will be served. Mrs. Yates McSwain, Secty. Dover Mill Improvement club. Newton Appreciated Late Joe C. Smith Catawba News-Enterprise. “Flittin", flitting away, all that we cherish most dear, For there’s nothing on earth that will stay, The roses must die with the year.” We are reminded of the above lines as the days go by. Not only are the roses dying with the year, but loved ones are passing awav each day in this life—'twas ever thus. Life is made up of its jovs and its sorrows. The passing of Mr. J. C. Smith at Shelby is a reminder of his friends in Newton of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death. Mr. Smith was for a number of years one of the builders of Newton. He was interested in the growth and the development of this town and gave his influence and of his means to make this a better community in which to live. He was a busy business man but took time to give of his thought and his means to the support of his church—the Methodist church—of which he was a consistent member. The world today needs more busi ness men of the type of Mr. J. C. Smith—men who take God into ac count, when considering business in terests and material growth and de velopment.

Ad I : —SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— ^-- -* A friend of the paper asked us why we didn’t publish pictures of Shelby ladies and f^irls made 30 or 40 years ago. We didn’t answer then for sever al reasons, but if we had it might have been: “We like to live in Shelby.” Im agine carrying a picture with a title “Shelby Belles of 40 Years Ago,” and have some of those pictures recog nized—You know some of them are young yet. Out at the Kiwanis club Thursday evening “a man from Missouri" reel ed off a toast to North Carolina that in our opinion tops the list. When he got through a prominent Kiwanian gulped and remarked: “I alius wuz proud of the state, but I just now know why.” Prior to his toast the speaker gave a good boost for his own state. He was from Missouri, which Jin pure-bred America brogue means “Must be shown,” or the state of mules. The mules must have have made the peo ple that way for they will not ap proach the rear extremity of one un til they have been shown he won’t kick —and so the mules made Missourians cautious and skeptical. But his boost for Missouri was also about mules and follows: “If all the mules in Mis souri were put in one, his front feet would be in the Panama Canal, his rear feet in the Hudson Bay and he could kick the lights out of the Auro ra Borealis.” Now, we’re from Mis souri! But they do tell us that the Missouri mule won the war, dead or alive, or maybe both. They were tough. Here we go! June, July, August, September, October, November—and now almost every store you enter in the business section of Shelby you’ll find shoppers seeking gift bargains— Christmas! The fellow who wrote “It Ain’t Gwine Rain No Mo”, does not seem as crazy now as he did in the spring. Just because Dr. E. B. Lattimore still looks like he did in the boyhood picture caried recently in The Star is no evidence that Shelby has not changed in the last 30 years. “20 Years Ago” The Star recorded that “corn shuckings” were the big go of the sea son,the iratficring places of the young folk. Now, hasn’t Shelby changed, or is it the times? Imagine wide, leather belts, V-neck sweaters and bobbed hair pulling the shucks off an ear of corn while they anticipated "Dump lin’s” and , perhaps, a long joyful ride home in a buggy. Shelby is a modern town. Mah Jongg had its day here, and now the cross word puzzles are in our midst, as the preacher would say. Friday afternoon two Shelby men I leaned sorrowfully against the east end of the court house. In their eyes was a sad, far-away look. Neith er spoke. Their glances were not di j rected at each other, but almost tear fully to the front. Apparently little joy remained in life for them, the avenue of living ahead did not seem to beckon so alluring for them. The cause of their sorrow was before them —no it was not the remains of a friend, and, no, again, it was not a sentence of 12 months on the roads— but many hours of joy and forgetful ness, and maybe worse, being made into bent and formless copper. A quan tity of “stills” captured in various sections of the county were being de stroyed by the officers. Hammered, hacked and smashed, returned again to copper. As the axe struck the last worm, one of the men turned, sighed and walked on towards the postoffice, The other hesitated and followed suit, except that he headed for the Clev eland drug store and a Frank Ilogy dope. As yet they have not spoken to each other. The scene to them could not be expressed in words. I Shelby folks were furnished it thrill of a new variety Friday evening. They I had the opportuni'y of seeing on the ’ screen what they had witnessed in re ality—the races on the Charlotte speedway. Many were never given the same privilege before—and the same many took advantage of it. Some tried to pick out tiieir own eyes in the pack ed grandstand as the cars flashed down the straightway, hut as yet we haven’t heard of any recognition. To ■ know that you were even up in the hazy crowd was enough—there's no i likelihood of any Shelby people re ceiving a movie bid for their expres sion that day. Yes, the races looked like they did look, but they looked dilferent from what they would have looked if those who looked had not seen the actual races. Now, figure out that spasm and you’ll understand what we intended to say. It’s a long trail that has no ending and a painful column that has no close but the next period, please, is only | a continuation mark—until next issue, j If you know a better joke than the col umn send it in. Lots of people think the third party al\,ays v ill be that. I CHRISTMAS! Its none too early to begin thinking of Christmas, making your list and selecting gifts for your family and friends. 4 Every day new things are being put on display— just the thing appropriate—just the things you will want. Quality and low price are big words with us. Selling good jewelry for many years has put our business on a firm foundation. Our customers know our goods can be depended upon, and all appreciate a gift from Hamrick’s —just a little more, perhaps, than if selected elsewhere. Drop in daily from now till Christmas—Thank you.

WHY HAS THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SHELBY THOUSANDS OF AC COUNTS AND RESOURCES OF OVER FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS? BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE For more than twenty years it has been the friend of Cleveland county. Every officer and clerk has the fact con stantly in mind that the customer is the most important individual connected with the bank. They know the bank is not operated just to pay salaries, but to give a definite service. This bank has to offer every line of le gitimate banking service from making change to securing Foreign Exchange. BECAUSE FINALLY It is essentially a Shelby and Cleveland County institution, having the confi dence and trust of the public over a long period. In fact over three generations. The big outstanding reason why this bank has thousands of depositors is be cause it has wanted them and worked unceasingly for them! No account has ever been too small to receive careful at tention. We appreciate small accounts! Every customer means another ardent supporter. The money value of an ac count has always been subordinate to the useful service able to be rendered to the public.

It is easy to spend money*, in many instances it is wise. Penurious saving is not thrift. A man who will deny his family or himself the necessities of life is not a thrifty individual. However; there is a thought quite worthy of your con sideration: A DOLLAR NEVER RESTS UNTIL IT IS SAVED. Money will travel until it reaches the hands of a saver. Many of your dol lars are now drawing inter est in another man’s sav ings account. Four Per Cent Compound Interest And Safety. Deposit Your Cotton Checks With Us. We Loan On Warehouse Receipts.
