The prize this week passes to, ' the philosopher who said: An op timist is the fellow who will eat, chestnuts in the dark. Second prize goes to the remark that ev erything didn’t start in the gar den of Eden—for example the borrowing habit. JUST THINK! Those who question the re quired building permits of the city laws should stop and think for a moment: Suppose a fillin'.: station or small store was going up just across the street or ad joining your home—or a fire trap-building in which you have the fortune of a life time invest ed? NO CHRISTMAS DAY MAIL. The ruling of the postoffice de partment to close the post offices v of the country and not deliver Christmas dav mail will bo a source of disappointment; to the patrons, but they should consider the thousands of postal employes who have a right to this holiday with their families. While all the rest of us are enioying the day. - given mostly to the exchange of . gifts with friends through the mails, we do not realize that for us to patronize the postoffice on ije heaviest mail day of the vear, these hundreds of thousands'of postal workers are denied any freedom but on the other hand have before them their hardest day’s work. Gradually the post office department has been break in# up the Christmas day deliv ery custom and yhile it may not i suit some 6f us to be denied the j privilege of the mails on that | day, Jt is nothing but right that! the government men who toil] day in and day out should have 1he holidays to spend with their families. THE MARKET BASKET. Statistics have it that 85 per cent of America’s income is spent by women. Not for person al wants, but for household ne cessities, food, fuel, groceries, and suchlike. And realizing that the woman is the buyer of a big per centage of that which is bought, The Star last week start l'd a “Market Basket” page. Gro cers, meat shops and other busi ness firms that cater to the housewife realized what adver tising directly to the housewife meant and flooded the page with advertising. r rom eany repons 11 seemi as if the page will be a success— more so than any other special page ever published in The Star. It is made more interesting be cause the news columns carry recipes for favorite dishes pre pared bv Shelbv women. Watch the “Market Basket” page for vour wants and if there ore important items missing no. tify us and the next issue will carry quotations on the items that were formerly missing. It's the service of the family grocer and butcher to his customers and prospective customers with The Star as a medium. A DANGER SPOT. Out West Marion street iust in front of the Central school building is perhaps Shelby’s most dangerous spot. Unless strict care is taken that section of town may be the scene of a tragedy some dav. Your boy or girl may be the victim. Watch it, and warn th*>m! With the detour on Highway ?0 the street is by the noon hour packed with main traffic in addition to the usual street traf fic and the flurry of cars to take the children to lunch. It is a busy sp6t and school children. being young find inexperienced, ure naturally careless unless suf ficiently warned. Then just as the care are getting away there’s the railroad and the shifting en gines. It is a very dangerous spot. Charlotte, Gastonia, and other er cities and town are using traf fic officers at such spots during the lunch hour in protection of the lives of their children, and such is a credit to the munici pal authorites of the respective cities. Shelby as yet may not need an officer to overlook the situation, but it is the duty of Shelby parents that they warn their children, and also the duty rf motorists to br careful in driv ing bv the school building about that hour. $50,000 TO ORPHANS. Cleveland county should give $50,000 to the orphans of North Carolina during Thanksgiving week. The sum sounds big, we admit, but think over the appeal and at least the thought will come that it should be. me iNortn Carolina orphan association asks of North Caro lina people that everyone on or before Thanksgiving Day g!ve the equivalent of one day’s sal ary or income during the past year. That’s not much. If your child was fatherless and moth erless would one day’s work out of an entire year seem too much for your neighbor to contribute towads their upkeep and the lit tle pleasures children should get out of living? Just one day’s salary or in come. Is the appeal not worth that? Think what a day of Thanksgiving it would be to North Carolina’s hundreds cf or phans if every person in the state gave that much. Then bring it down to terms of Cleveland county. There are 40,000 or more people in this county. Surelv the average day’s income rr salary for the county is $1.25. And 40.000 people giv ing $1.25 each, an average, ac cording to their ranging in comes, would mean $50,000 from this county alone for the orph ans. Tn the years to mme noth ing fine’* could be said of th ‘ county than $50,000 was given to the orphans of the state on one Thanksgiving day. It will not be. Manv will not balance the heed of the father less against one day’s salary, but! because other do not you are not excused. But this is to YOU! What will you do? OUR HOSPITAL AND THANKSGIVING. Next to the churches, the Shel by Public hospital is the great est institution Cleveland county has in carrying out the noble practice of the Great Physician. It has been here over two years administering unto the sick and suffering and during that time has no doubt saved many lives of friends and neighbors. Quiet ly it goes on about the Father’s business and little do we think of its needs. Wr take it as a mat ter of course that; the institution is a fixture, which it is. but it cannot do for those unable to nav without help from the outside. Our peoole are a generous neo nlc to all worthy objects of char ity but somehow our chanty has rot been directed to the hospital as it should. wun me i nanxsvivmg season at band,4 we hope the people of Shelby and Cleveland county will remember this institution. A do nation of money can better be used bv the hospital authorities for needs uppermost in the mind of the superintendent, but; if you do not care to give money, make some contribution to the Pantry or the linen room. Anything in the way of bed room supplies or edibles can be used and the dona tions would redound to your glory and blessing. It is all right to remembo1- the orphans with a dav’s wage but above that con tributin'-!. there are thousands in Cleveland who could spare more and we offer the suggestion that this local institution be fe rn''mbet'ed during this Thanks giving season. Wouldn’t it be a noble act that would serve as a lasting memo rial here on earth and lav up a rich treasure in Tfeaven, if some of our Cleveland countv citizens would srt aside something in thoii* wills for this institution.
