It’s hard nowadays to tell whether an actor D expressing “quaking tear,” or doing the Charleston. Shelby should welcome the Cleamup Day.1 Strangers must think of windy days that we have a scrap paper factory h re. If Babe Ruth can come back co strong who knows what the Democratic party may do nation ally at the next election? All the luck in the world to the big graduating class at Shel by High this week. May they turn out to be most anything besides newspaper folks. Twenty-five homes under eon 1 struction, a Legion club house and a golf club house in the < f fing—Shelby bids fair to build up all the vacant spots in the section. As our opinion if the Supreme court rules anything like Jude s Webb and Shaw, and public opin ion and editorial writers, then Newton will have Highway 10 right through her heart. The Campaign for Chrjst in the big revival tent should prove far-reaching in Sh'lby. There will be those who will go to a tent that would never visit a church. Believe it or not, it’s so. Another Charlotte officer has made a blunder. Meaning the one who.said that boys do not play hookey any more. F'd is, the youngsters are ro modern about it that an old-tim/er seldom catch cs on.

A. HARDIN, COUNTY AGENT. The Star is interested in the work—and especially in his atti tude toward his work—of A. Hardin, newly appointed county agent. Mr. Hardin is giving thought to his jcb. and is thoroughly in INSIST ON SEEING Have you seen the magnificent avenues ^ through the hills overlooking Cleveland | Springs?

And for a man to be sincere and in earnest is a pretty substantial guarantee of success. Hardin took charge of the beautification of the court square,, and has made a beauty spot of it. And he is not yet through. He knew the nature cf the elements with which he is dealing. He says he intends to bring the park into even a higher state of perfection. And he has done what he has done and is plan ning to do more, in spite of a few rahter dsieouraging circumstan ces. Hardin talked openly in dis cussions with The Star, his inter views appealing in these col umns, about the needs cf devo ir nd county agriculturally. Many did not agree with him. Some said he had overshot the .nark. He was rather severely criticis ed in some quarters for his ut terances. Rut the fact must be borne in .mind that the man said what he did say, took the attitude he took, because he believed he was acting for the bast interests of the local fanners. He had their interest at tj^art. And when a man has your interest at heart, criticism of him should be spar ing and very measured. Hardin will make good litre, given time. He lias backbone, sincerity and untiring industry. This newspaper feels very much encouraged over the spirit he has shown since he came here, argu ing even a better day for Cleve land county agriculture. SHELBY’S FUTURE. Happenings about Shelby and Cleveland countyduring the past month speak wefl for the future of Shelby. The happenings spoken of a.e the graduating classes going forth this spring from the schools of Shelby and the sur rounding county. Modern progress is much a matter of brains a" l prepara tion. Cleveland county is an out standing county not because the farm soil here is richer than any (ther, but because brains were used bv the men who till the soil —minds trained for modern pro gress, ready to discard antique farm methods for late, progres sive measures. Shelby has grown more rapid ly than any town in North Caro lina during the past five years not because of any miracle, cr single attraction, but because busness leaders have kept stvp with progress. A community where education is a stranger can hardly hope for a magnificent future. Now do you get us. I his week near one hundred graduates will go out from the j high schools of .Shelby, rnanvMoj seek :> eolleire education, others | to hnokle down and turn Utter, training ;nto personal advance-; '•"eni an I community progress, I T’'n’’ n record class for Shelby J 5 C-he'by :» rowing -ml train-; 1 " >n rod w men will be more d- -• (1 in lii veil's to come.!

Ami cut over the county more! ‘ arm bovs and girls completed; high school training 1 his year than ever before. Their jobs sve ahead. Tin v have started figh^ the training to fill those places' ahead. Seeing the number and ability of the boys and girls making up those various graduating classes is indication enough that the sec tion will continue to progress. And the cycle will keep turn ing. Benetitting from proper training these graduates in turn during the years to come will broaden the training of their children. Such is the backbone of pro gress.. FOR THE CHILDREN. At the banquet given to Shel by real estate men last week at Cleveland Springs Mr. A. P. Mar shall urged every realty man to inform Shelby parents to send their children to Cleveland Springs every day during the summer, where thev would be on tortained. exercised and protect ed- And therein Mr. Marshall of fers a tin to Shelby in general. While homes are being built, factories erected and Shelby grows the children should not be neglected. ri hey are more impor tant than all Tim others; tlun mean more to Slf'lbv’s future, and greater care should be taken in their building. Shelby has no municipal parks'where children may plav anti be properly .super vised while parents are busy. Ere long such parks safely super vised will become a necessity. For the summer. though, it re"ms as if the children will h.? taken care of. Playgrounds are being built at Cleveland Spring; and added to tennis, bathing pool and other attractions the vbung sters ot the town will find enter tainment jralcre through the courtesy of the resort developer. Added to the imitation is the more inviting information to children—every child and his, or her play will be under the direr. toin of Dic.k CuHey, Ler.oir Rhvne coach and Termer Shelby athletic director. who during three years past had much to do with building clean bodies and f'ean minds for Shelby’s youth. His duties this summer will bo entirely confined to supervising and taking care of the children j who will play without cost. There: in Mr. Marshall adds another asset to Shelby that should find a welcome. I The need of a ehilren’s' p:o-, gram in any growing town is evi dent, and about which the Hen dersonville News says: there are, in our mjdsi, men and women who lameiu the customs ami manners of our young people, and with some degree of apprehension; wonder what the race is coming t \ The openness with whim modern youth frankly indulges in age edd propensities assists in the creation of the idea that the sheiks and flapper ( f filmdom. and their habits are the vogue in the community. Wo ;ire not here to arg«r the cause of youth or to persuade sincere men and women that what they believe :s untrue. Rather let us look u» the ut ture end imagine how the npxt cts p of ch'ldven will t’’rn out. Let us a k , ourselves seriously, the question.-: | "What do the adults do in hehalT of the growing children?" The answer, with rrrel.v an exception is simrV, and simply “nothing”. Adult cit'zens, preoccupied with busin-ps affairs do not, as a rule, give any of their time and money to children other than their own. Few of i us look upon all youth as the wards of societv. We dismiss them fn ip mind and provide nothing for their proper, wholesome development, ex cepting in the matter of schools ai.d churches. In our plans to make Henders>cn- i ville bigger and better we have ro * program for children. They are left to their own devices for amusement, and lacking proper recreation, they sometimes do who adults disapprove. However, before justly condemnin': the young people, we should give them ! the attention they deserve. j Mt. Holly Farmer Dies Under Tractor Mount Holly, May '2+*—Chari .si Hoover,, 45, of Mirasvillc, well-known ' farmer, was almost instantly ki!l< <1 this morning at 11 o’clock when a trac j tor turnoti over on him while' he war at work in a field.
