TWINKLES
The man who does not have opinions usually l«cks several
other things. >
Moi-e irony: Cleveland county will likely make hot biggest
cotton crop for 11 cents pir pound.
Since ti'ie Democrats have decreased his congressmen
Coolidge now plans to decrease tares.
Lite's surest rule is that it is a hard road that leads to easy
street, and that the busiest man i- the happiest man.
With modern street styles advertising is losing its kick.
One doesn’t nave to turn to the advertisements to see shock
ing sights.
Shelby would come nearer lining up with A1 Smith if hv't
see that! we get a winning football team and a higher prj/e
for cotton.
After reading gobs about IU* Uusse.y s lane in Vbe Hall
Mills case one wonders what all has happened out to Shelby’s
o\Vn “Lover’s Lane."
A speaker at a recent banquet referred to Shelby as an
“intellectual town.” Yep. about 100 “True Stories" arc sold
each month as compared to the combined sale ol’ 10 maga
zines termed literary.
“•Ellenboro Students Build Chicken Houses," reads a head
line. Wihch sounds good for EUenboro. A lot of young fel
lows have to call in the aid of the building and loan to build
‘house's for their chickens.
The Technician, published at St ate college, thinks there is
a lot of speed in the McPherson family. Gux, of that name,
does the light fantastic step for touchdowns at Carolina,
and—wdl, y’all know about Aimee, the evangelist.
get the space while possible
Organized recreation is receiving more attention every
year. It is a vital truest ion in crowded cities and in the
course of years will be imoortan; all over the nation.
Small towns like Shelby are apt to pospone the purchase oi
land 'for (wirks and playgrounds until too late. The citizens
look around at the open apace* and say, “we have plenty of
room.” Tn a few decades their children will bo wondering
how they could have bean so foolish.
IT'S CONSIDERED NATIONAL NEWS
Enfcirelv too much newspaper space has been wasted on
the Hall-Mills murder of New Jersey, and the Aimee Semple
McPherson narrative from California. What is gained by
keeping the wires hot on these trails escapes us.
If the public wishes to read of illicit relations and to
puzzle over Mrs. McPherson’s skint or sinner query, it
would probably like many sordid and salacious tales than can
be featured all over the county.
Many people who read this kind of stuff as news, shudder
with horror at young minds enjoying “smutty stories,” and
others magazines of that ilk. Every once in a while we are
almost convinced that the public wants to read the detailed
account of such rotten exhibits. If this is correct the public
mind is filthy.
Understand, we advocate no censorship of crime news. Let
them be reported reasonably, not featured and played up as
'outstanding events in the national life.
MAKE HER VERY 1!R0VD
Yesterday was Armistice Day and over at one of the
Shelby schools a proud mother presented to the school an
American flag—a replica of the Hag for which her son gave
his life during the World War. It was a touching occasion
in several ways.
One wanders just how that Gold Star mother felt in
making ihe gfft. and the added wonder comes if those
children really understand what the flag symbolizes to her.
9. mother like that is one person who really fathoms what
the war meant, yet it is fitting that ihose who fk> know pas?
along something to the children that will help them i&aHue
and remember.
In thrb; connection it is to be hoped that by the coming of
another Armistice Day a fitting memorial for every one of
Cleveland county's World War dead will be erected and that
every Gold Star mother still living may be on hand for the
ceremony. Somehow this paper sets its heart to that more
than any other accomplishment for the year.
Will you lint up with us?
