Around Our Town - Shelby Sidelights - With Uenn Drum BY THE PAPERS WE SEE that Shelby's neighboring town to the south, Gaffney, is to have two nights each week over the radio station WBT at Charlotte, and | that brings on the thought: Why ! not a Shelby hour one night each week over the same station? , Since Shelby's chamber of com-! meice is as defunct now as a ‘van": bottle 15 minutes after purchase' the town has no publicity medium. I and a Shelby hour over WBT each week—at night, not those noon time commercial affairs—would af ford valuable publicity for Shelby over the wide area wherein radio fans tune in on the Charlotte sta tion. Just 1 low Gafiney secured a cou ple of hours each week over the Charlotte station this colyum does ; not know, but we presume it was financially backed by the Gaffney | merchants. Such, we be lie ye, could he done by Shelby with the business men cooperaltng with local musicians in putting on a program of enter tainment as well as of advertising for the town. The Christmas carol program put on the air over WBT by Hor ace Easom end his First Baptist choir of Shelby compared favor ably with any similar urogram heard during the Yuletide season. Somehow we believe that Easom and his singers, soloists and other wise could put on a, mighty good hour of music one night each week from Charlotte. At the conclusion of the musical selections the ah nouncement could go something like this; ‘‘This program of music ■ or what-not) was sponsored by such-and-such a business firm, or the following named business firms.” Presto! Good entertainment and good advertising. Some of the programs might casually mention generally Shelby advantages, cham ber of commerce style, etc. Furthermore, there happens to be a quartet of colored singers in Shelby which, we believe, can sing negro folks songs with any quar tet on the air. Add to that the fact that Bob RudaslU, Tom Osborne, Herbert Whlsnant and their bunch could put on many nifty string Jaze and barn dance programs. No doubt but what Shelby talent; could put on one good hour one night each week and the whole af fair would be of great value to the town. What about It. Mi-. Easom, and the others? and that query goes for the business men of the city as well.! ARTHUR SIDES IS GOING TO put on anctlier boxing program for Shelby and again we’re paging Ar thur to bring Joe Jenka* “Dyna mite Dunn” here for a fight. That is,' if Dynamite doesn't fight Sharkey, Strlbbling or Dempsey at an early date. Believe It or not. but If every fellow who turns to the comic page each day to follow^ Dynamite's left hooks would go to see Arthur’s next boxing match, then it would not be long until Arthur might be another Tex Rickard. For that matter no one knows but what Sides has a propestlve Dunn or Dempsey in Joe Singleton, high school athlete, or Logan Carr, the cloth mill leather terror. IN A LETTER TO THE STAR, which is published in the news col umns today, Representative Odus Mull makes the following state-1 ment: "It is not a violation of any i law to be drunk." Of course, Mr. j Mull goes-on to explain that he means it isn't an infraction of the j law to get drunk at home. But be. that as it may we'd advise the law-! maker to watch his step, the anti- j Saloon and anti-otherwise goblin.-; may get him for just telling the j truth, if he doesn't watch out.

Fight On to Restore Monazite Industry] (Continued fruih page Dne.) mineral as a boost in price for a raw product. ‘'They'll give us a strong fight," he said, ‘and we may not win this first skirmish, but some day, be it two years, five years, or ten yeai-s from now, we will get a duty on outside monazite and bring in a new source of wealth for this Sec tion— a source of wealth that is ours and from which we should derive a profit. But we will have to make a concerted move. We must have influential men, bank ers, lawyers and business men, to get In behind the movement, go with us In delegations to Washing ton and present our cause. If Just a few of us go or Join in the move ment they will think that some of us personally interested are trying to get it revived for personal gain for a few, when It really means a new and great source of wealth for an entire section of the coun try.” Men present at the time offered to contribute funds to help carry on the work, handle the corres pondence. and take care of other expense, but it was decided that at the next general meeting Saturday that contributions to the fund would be taken. Local manufacturers and others, owning no land whereon there is monazite, have agreed to contribute and do their bit In reviving the In dustry,knowing what it will mean to the" section.

"For if this Baxter Roper, Georgia fighter, cant do anything with Terry, tire man mauler, then there doesn’t seem to be much use looking for some one who can.” Roper, who formerly maae neaa quarters in Columbus, Ga., but is now fighting out of Charlotte, is a contender for the welterweight crown and has a long string of victories behind him. He has floor ed Kmic O’Brien, Battling Benson, and a dozen other fighters for the count and holds decisions over a dozen more. He boxes under the supervision of the Miami Florida Athletic club.
