SHELBY SIDELIGHTS — _ jrpunql By OmomRENN drum -r — Letecrs, Lies — Mebbe This crdytun hftcr a hundred are or •••<> mu., attain the class of her noted newspaper columns, hich i to herald the fact that in week il.c edyum bus received ree lott.. •. m The first came from “Ikey" Griffin, labelled Harold at the be ginning of life mayhaps for the same re..son that “Red”, Grange’s lv« parents decided the gridiron ghost needed a dignified monicker. Any way, “Ike” i.- now in the tohac-co game at South Hill, t a. Once was he doled out and took in cash at a local bank, bin in those days “Ike.” » decided that more folks smoked f cigarette than raved money and with the thought came another one that thcr might be a future in the • tobacco game. So he is at South Hill deciding which pile will satis fy, and which would cause a body , to walk a mile. . “Ike’s” letter was -to the effect that ho endorser, the tribute to “Koozy" or Vlex George, as the most valuable man on the Shelby p football squad for several .years. The write • was- also anxious that ; Ale-- should get a letter. He even pp’ went so far a: to hint thVt in the * next latter to his a ter. the school head, ti at instead of asking sundry favor - r. usually ask he would | speak a 'good word lor Alex. || “He deserves it.” writes Grif fin. “1 know, because I was al ways cm. (A ’em—a water-boy, • mascot, t. •.vhutever-you-oall-it.” _So r.a-.-. It '.sec huCas if it is Up to the amalgamated Union cf Water boys :. ! What-Nots to see that ore of the faithful members of their tribe- receives a letter. They have a habit over to the school at the elo.c- of cai;h term of giving the pupil who excels in each line a medal or -.ommeudatory mention. Whisn: ■■ fro.-:i tha. ouree have it that Alex may get his. He will, we believe, I it's left to a vote of the 1* "-.'hers,- Conch Morris, and the school :n general, Which disposes •. of one letter. The sec mid.' rent ■ aunoymously, wanted to Trow i" the colyum in tends to write: a Santa Glaus let ter ti ls ye: r. “If so,” the letter read, “pVar-e have Santy to bring us an athletic field for the school children. Some how I don’t believe our “dads" are Santas after all. Fop don't they call the aldermen ‘citv dads’ .and the school board ‘school dads’*? And have, or have they not. prepared us an athletic field? Polly anna may be patient ly-awaitinrr the field, but all of us arc not Pollyannas.” And there the writer stops, and so do we . It’s up to somebody else to write the answer. The third of the epistles was to Inquire about our old friend “Gawge” Abernethy. It read: “I notice Gawge is out of the Navy now. and also that he’s aJvertis inp- in the Charlotte Observer for a job stating that he has ‘a little reuse and that matrimony is not the object.” Which is unusual. It does s-tm that after the brilliant stuff Gawge wrote for the colyum and the fact that he shook hands with Josephus should at least en title him to a place on the staff of Blum’s Almanac.” The letter was written on the rear side of some second-hand stationery and was also incognito. “Gawge” no doubt will appreciate the inquiry, hut-may be disap pointed because it did r.ot tell of a job. However, there was a P. S. to the letter and it said: ‘‘We see as how Gawge was a radioman in the Navy. If he’ll come by our house and take the static out of our set we’ll see that he gets. at least §10.000 per vear thereafter.” And they dident say where “our house” was located. Miss Amy Enimanu^; * court stenographer, who visits Shelby with evqry Superior court, was greatly disappointed over the week end. For several years Miss Em manuel hes been hearing all the evidence in local court rooms. ( Scores of times defendant^ have taken the stand charged, with hav ing some “likker” and upon ques tioning by the court to see where it came from the replv was always something like this: “Well, judge, you see 'I was riding up in the South Mountains and I met a man and he gave me a quart, or a half gallon. No, I didn’t know him and had never seen him before.” Or. other occasions the reply iwould bo, like this: “I was riding up that wav and all at once I looked out beside the road and saw a package. I got out and nicked it up and it proved to be the liquor the officer found in my car. Nocir, I wasn’t looking for liquor.” Cleveland county folks have ^hcard that story on the stand so many times that thev go to sleep smiling when it is related again in the court room. ! But Miss 1' in it*, anile i believes in hi.inanity. Unle«r. otherwise shown • her faith in the veracity <>!' man is strong. So, naturally when she took a motor nip up through the South .Mountain?-the last week-end she began looking along the side of the road thinking that she might to see a package. Not that?she' wanted Such packages, but some how or another she had derived the idea that they could be found all along the road like hickory nuts on a hillside this season of the year. For mile after.mile she war, disappointed. Her car began to meet folks occasionally along the road tnd surely* she thought, they’ll soon start giving me some thing. Monday Miss Emmanuel was back in the court room with a ‘'million dollars worth of faith in humanity shot to heck.” Through out the entire trip she never so much as glimpsed one of the park ages the court it so often told about. Now isn’t that odd? A news item that wasn’t pub lished Monday: “Monday of tills week Solicitor John Carpenter, o* Gastonia, was n visitor to the Shelby court, ile wore a cut-away coat with the grace of Clyde Hoey, jn:.d his ied-ar.d-b!ack tie was neat ly knotted about a wing collar. A Emile and a hand-shake here, and a smile and a hand-shake there, and Solicitor Carpenter returned to Gusto, ia. It n;:iy be that sense day he- think - of returning to Gas tonia with another label before hin name in:*tead of solicitor. There was an election last week, y’know, and there’ll be another one two years hincc. And that’’ that.” This’ll B-awl. No. I Township Schools Have Opened (Special to The Star.)

TEXACO THE FIRST TEN SECONDS CAUSE MORE ENGINE I I WEAR THAN MANY MILES - . j The first few hundred revolutions of your engine on a cold j day are a critical test of your motor oil. The first ten seconds of speedy idling while warming up | the engine and oil may cause more wear than many miles j of driving. If the oil does not circulate freely and instantly, the met- J al-to-metal contacts have a rapidly destructive effect. It is i unwise and expensive to use an oil that will not stand the J cold. . j Texaco Mato** Oil flows readily, doing its duty at the first | turn of the; motor, regardless of temperature, preventing j this unnecessary wear. TEXACO FLOWS INSTANTLY— It stands ine zero pour test. It is the name fine lubricant at zero as at any normal engine temperature. '1'he dean, clear, golden roior of Texaco Motor Oil is the visible evi dence of perfect freedom from all substances that would cause the oil to solidify in cold weather, and from all carbon forming impurities. The.results*—perfect lubrication, in a edd engine or hot ; less wear; rr. ,.:o power because compression Is better; no heavy carbon deposits anywhere; no clogged valves, gummed plugs, sticking rings or piston head depos its; and a far longer life of maintaiii ed efficiency before crankcase drain ing becomes necessary.
