Cl OVEBBO HOME ! “BURG” LOYALTY Boosting Homo Town All Right When Boosting Isn’t Over done, Says Writer. i Statesville Daily. j Speaking of home town boost ' ing, which may hurt as well as /help if it gets beyond the limit of .sound reasoning—and the tend ency of the wild-eyed booster is to j exceed the speed limit—The Shelby 1 Star cites the Gastonia Gazette man as an example. The Gazette editor had been away on a , motor jaunt and was telling about it ; when he got home. His conclusion was that he “would not trade an acre of Gaston county for a town ship elsewhere.” The Star invites anybody to “Beat that for home | tpwn spirit.” It can’t be done-— l that is, if the declaration is made in sincerity, as it no doubt was in ; the Gastonia case. This home town loyalty, the kind mentioned by the Gastonia (naper, has always seemed espec ially conspicuous among States ville people. Observation is that bona fide residents of Statesville, after journeying abroad, c\en those whose business calls them to ; journey frequently, are given to remarking that they are always glad to get back—that they would not exchange. Statesville for any other place. We have sometimes wondered whether this spirit was as conspicuous in other towns as it seems to Ire in Statesville, gen erally speaking; in fact one can’t see how that is possible when some | other places are contrasted with Statesville. But there is, of course, a certain amount of natural bias in favor of the home vown, a cer tain amount of loyalty to the home wherever it is. No matter if it is realized that the home commun ity is lacking in some things, the home loyalty will show up in the average man. But the loyal home spirit is a tribute to those who have it, and it is a greater tri bute to the home when it is based on the sincere belief that, on the whole, we have just a little better place than other folks. But speaking of that loyalty to the home community, no doubt many of the local tradespeople and professional men wonder if it is working when so many people make it a habit to gather up every dollar they make at home and carry it to some other town to spend. That seems to mean to ex tract all possible out of the home folks and then transfer ihe loyal ty to another place while the money is disbursed. Talking on this point in a public meeting rec ently, a prominent Statesville mat insisted that Statesville husbands should “make” their wives spend their money at home. That will bring applause, but compulsion in the case of the Mrs. if she isn’t amind to be compelled is some thing else. Maybe the wives given to spending abroad could be broken in if all the men would set the ex ample. NEW BRITISH BUSSES NO PLACE FOR SPOONERS (By international News Service.) ! Birmingham, Eng.—Bir mingham has a new omnibus, and, like, everything else fcbout Birmingham, which shudders at the sight of a bare leg or back, it is a very “respectable” bus. The city which forbids chorus girls to dance without tight$ . ha's'^ry definite ideas- about what constitutes propriety, and in the new bus the designers have made sure that no Romeo will be able to put his arm around his Juliet and so pos sibly offend the susceptibilities of other Birminghamites. The seats in the bus are ar ranged in twos, but they are the most unsociable couples imaginable. Running down the center of the bus with a gang way right round, they are placed in herring bone fashion one turned a little from the other. Grover Will Have Own B. Y. P. U. Kings Mountain Herald. Rev. Hoyle Love, pastor of Gro ver Baptist church, offered his re signation as pastor of the Kings Mountain City B. Y. P. U. at the regular monthly meeting at the Second Baptist church here Tues day night and at the same time asked that the Grover unions be re leased from the city organization. The motion was carried by a very weak vote. It was very evident that the other unipns would rather Grover had remained with the or ganization. Mr. Love gave as his reason for the act that the city union was getting so big it was unwieldly and that there had been some intimation that Grover should withdraw and form a separate un ion. Mr. Love intimated that they would undertake to enlist Patter son Springs, Antioch and possibly I another church or two in a city I union. The Grover unions ara strong and have been a valuable part of the city union. Ra.ich Girl Hunts Thrill—Finds It By Trip To Jail [ (By International News Servin'.) Denver.—Desire for a new thrill is believed by Denver police to have been the motive which inspired pretty Alpha Briggs, 20-year-old coed, da on liter of a wealthy Wyo ming rancher, to attempt to steal a dress from a local de partment store. "I wanted to see how the rest of the world lives,” she said, “When a clerk in the store turn ed her back for a few minutes the idea to take ihe dress came to me. 11 snatched up a frock, much too I small for me, and hid.it under my | coat. I expected to be caught and put in jail.” Miss Briggs’ expectation were fulfilled. However she called her night in jail a “huge success,” and felt that she had really witnessed | some of the more unhappy phases of lif'> “I never knew,” she reported after her experiment, “just how hard-boiled some of the women prisoners are. And I found out too 1 that detectives and newspaper men are just as human as anyone else.' The girl refused to reveal the names of dny of her family al though she admitted that her fath er had a ranch near Casper, Wyo 1 ming. She declined also to discuss her plans for her marriage next January to a young rancher neigh bor of her father’s. However, she said: “My family and friends will forgive me for this adventure and I am not afraid to face them. They are darlings.” According to AUss Briggs she has been a student at Northwest ern University where she was a member of the Alpha Delta Omega sorority. She left school a few months ago to prepare for her wedding and until recently had been at home with her parents. Tar Heel Tourists Get In Tag Trouble Charlotte News.

Mr. Moore could do nothing, he told them, but it didn’t keep the North Carolinians from declaring their opinion of the Palmetto State and everything connected with it. “\\’e don’t hop on their cars when they come up here, even if they are operating an ‘in transit’ tag, but if we go ihore with a tag two days out of date, although we have been unable*' Sto get to a li cense bureau //t$ fcy a new one, they jump us, one irate motorist who had left a perfectly good ten spot at Rock Hill as a bond for his appearance there Tuesday declar ed.

MUNICIPAL “MURDER MAP” FOR NEW YORK SHOWS CITY HAS 200 “BLACKS SPOTS” (By Internationa] News Service.) ! New York.—In a campaign to induce the city fathers of Neyv York to establish playgrounds for children the City Club’s bulletin contains a map of Manhattan Is land with two hundred black dots scattered over it.

There are two hundred of these “child murder spots,” the bulletin says.

Many citizens ot Kowan, Iredell and Lincoln counties are interest ing themselves in procuring the adoption of a state highway route from Salisbury to Lincolnton, through Moresville. A glance at through Mooresville. A glance at the highway map shows that this by n joint meeting at Mooresville, is of interest to Lexington also al though the proposed road comes no nearer here Jian Salisbury. It 13 a historic route that couples up with the history-making march of General Greene’s army from Salis bury to Guilford Court House through Lexington. There is a statement in a letter from a Mooresville citizen to the Salisbury Post that the rise in the waters of the Catawba enabled General Greene to rescue his army from the superior forces of Lord Cornwallis. We had understood here in Davidson county that this intervention of nature on the side of American liberty took place at Trading Ford, on the Yadkin river, near the new Buck-steam power plant. But aside from this point of his tory the road is of interest here. A direct highway between Salis bury and Lincolnton wyuld put traffic from and through this city in much quicker contact with a considerable territory than is pos sible over existing routes. From here to Lincolnton the most direct route is from. Salisbury to Moores ville and from the latter place across the Catawba and through Denver to Lincolnton. Prom the latter point the highway runs di rect to Shelby. The saving of time and distance between here and Shelby over the present route through Charlotte, Gastonia and Kings Mountain should be about one-third. Such a road would open to the people from Shelby to Salis bury a much more direct route to Raleigh than now available, through this city and over highway 75 to the State capital. We dare say that such a linking up would place Shelby and Lir.colnton citi- j zens forty miles nearer by state; highway to Raleigh than by other available routing*. None of the road is in this coun ty. none of ii is in our highway ! district, hut just the same we are pulling from the Salisbury- j Moorcsvillb-Lincolnton highway ; boosters und are pleased thev have j formed a working organization.
