Around Our Town - Shelby Sidelights - .'.With Kenn Drum ALL THE FANFARE AND frantic yelping of the present politi cal campaign may have narrowed the minds of seme ■ or rather have revealed some to be narrow > but' at the same time if has broadened the minds cf others. Some years bach there were one or two people in Shelby who hoisted their skirts (except that they wear trousers) and walked on the other side of the sidwalk rather than get near one or two members of Hie Star staff because report was that the news scribblers, presumably be cause they came from distant points, were Catholics. In another month of two they walked again on the outer edge ol the pavement because the second report was that the news men were Kluckers. (Imagine any one seri ously falling for reports that would have a person being a Catholic one day and a K.K.K. the next?) Anyway, those who once skirted the sidewalk rather than take a chance of being contaminated by coming hear a Catholic or a Klueker are now fairly good friends of the news writers because they hold the mutual belief that either a Quaker or a Catholic has a right to apply for Prof. Coolidge's job insofar as the religious test goes. One improvement, we say, the campaign will leaye us even if a person does have to wade through; considerable filth and mud to sec where the present campaign could have added to the culture of civi lization. Incidentally, rather than start a religious war in this colyum. which is Quaker when it conies to fight ing, it might be added that there isn't a Catholic or a Quaker on The Star payroll—and, unless the boys keep their night shirts tucked out of sight pretty well, there doesn’t seem to be a Klueker. SEEMS TO US IF THERE WILL be a news story in it when a week, passes without a new store coming to, or opening in Shelby, SOME TIME BACK THIS COL yum chattered a bit about the "talk ies” and report is that our colum nistic advertising, which seldom gets results, caused a number of Shelby people to motor down to Charlotte to hear that singin’ fool. Howbeit as yet the colyum has received no pass to the Charlotte show. Unap- ! preciative folks? Anyway, a recent news item states that Bill Hart, “the strong silent man of the screen,” is going to re cite W'estern poems for the phono- j graph. At that a thought struck us: Wouldn’t we all go a swarming into a theatre to see end hear old, grim faced Bill, a .six-shooter in each hand, standing out on the screen re citing ‘'Dangerous Dan McGrew '? THE LATEST RUMOR FROM the gossip incubator, which is lo cated near the back fence Over which family skeletons are dragged, .is that Sears,. Roebuck may open a branch store in Shelby. The report is yet to be verified, but. if they keep on adding to Shelby’s business sec tion, and find someway of i. ringing the Wool-worth building and Cony Island down here Shelby may at tain such size that even Charlotte people would refer to us as a city. WORD FROM ONE OF THE Shelby boys off at college studying Saxaphony and Shiekology is that “Around Our Town'' is' an antici pated mor-sel among the Shelby col lege boys. Good news that, to have a few regular readers, perhaps be cause the colyuni reminds them of the drug store rodeos in the home town. Anyway. Rah! Rah! Rah! 1 ! College Boys! ! SHELBY PEOPLE WHO OWN radios have found a new .broadcast ing station which has taken their fancy for the moment. It- is sta tion K.WKH at Shreveport. - La., owned and operated by W, K Hen derson. A week or two back one of the boys idling, away a few hours at the Key club twirled the knob on the club radio and heard a militant voice giving Hoover heck and Smith praise. Shice the Hey club has a tendency towards Smith the gang gathered about and from that even ing on KWKH has been a favorite station to pick up in Shelby. The boys began to spread the word about-town and more Shelby radios tuned in. Now word is that near a score of peonle sit up each night into the wee hours listening to the hot. stuff from Shreveport. That it is hot no one doubts; at times it seems as if the “Yellow' Jacket,” or the “Hornet,” political raazberry sheets, are being read over the air. Henderson was famous even be fore this campaign, in which he is giving his station full time to the cause of the New York governor. The radio commission has tried on several occasions to put him out of business or to change his wave length but KWKH continues to broadcast every night in defiance of any orders. Once when called to Washington to appear before the radio hearing Hendcrsrn carried with him trunk after trunk filled with letters from radio fans ask ing that his station not he bother ed. His, station has perhaps receive cd in tecent months more telegrams, letters and telephone calls tnan any station in the world. Since the campaign got underway and Hen derson began to blast forth ever?' night his messages have increased Some of the messages arc critical j and he net or tails to have i come back As yet no one lias "got his ! goatwhen he .can't think a re tort at the moment he turns on his bat tie hymn, ."The Sidewalks Of New iOrk.” Judging by the messages he re ceives about as many .enemies listen in on Henderson. as do friends, and there is no denying that he is en tertaining—so entertaining that sev eral rabid Smith supporters in Shel by have been known to leave a Smith speech on the air to listen in on the' Shreveport raving.

"There is a curious spirit aboard of restlessness, of deploring nil. the best traditions and of doming the accepted standards,” said this emi nent artist. "We see it not only in art, but to a certain extent in liter ature and music. "There is a worship of ugliness instead of the spirit of beauty, and a certain contempt for beautiful form.
