North Carolina, under the Act oi Congress, March 8. 1879 We wish to call your attention to the tact that it la. and has been our custom to charge five cents per lino for resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adherred to MONDAY, 0CT728. 1929! TWINKLES A reader wants to know why cotton does not bring as much on the Shelby market as upon other nearby markets. And we pass the query along. •2.60 $3 00 Johnston Avery, for several years considered one of the outstanding editorial writers in the State while employed in that capacity on The Hickory Record, has developed into a publisher of some scope. First of all, he purchased and be gan operating The Lenoir News-Topic and now he has start l'd a paper at Granite Falls, which is being edited by Charlie Pcgram. capable young newspaperman, who followed Avery from Hickory. Needless to say, both Lenoir and Granite Falls arc being rendered good newspaper service. T. W. Hamrick’s letter to The Star about the why nrd wherefore of the small water main to the Cleveland Springs ..old should have been very interesting to Shelby citizens, an :, also, must have given city firemen a pleasant feeling. If every citiaen of Shelby was as interested in and knew as much nbout our city government as does Mr. Hamrick, all rdminh.r? ions could not help bid show general improvc SHELBY SHOULD BACK UP THE BOY SCOUTS | .N ANOTHER week or so Shelby and Cleveland county peo ple will be called upon to give financial aid to the Boy Scout movement in the county. Before passing up the plea as just another place to get rid of some money, the people of this section should think just what the Scout organiza tion means to their boys and to the future of this country. Dr. H. K. Boyer, retiring pastor of Central Methodist church and one of the soundest thinkers Shelby has eve" claimed as a citizen, not long since declared from his iu' pit that “next to the Church there is no organization which is doing a greater work for our boys than the Boy Scout movement." Dr. Boyer was not just talking to make some one feel good; he isn’t that type of man. Every father and mother in Cleveland county who has a boy in the Scout or ganization knows just what type of company that boy is in when he is at a Scout: meeting, and all thinking parents real ize, too, a boy is not made entirely in the home. Outside in fluences will have much to do with shaping his character and his future—and since such is the case, what better than back him and his pals up as Scouts. Shelby will be asked to give only $1,000—and Shelby with ten times that amount invested otherwise ccu'<i not buy te • futures for itself. JUST SPECULATING, BUT IT SOUNDS INTERESTING IF GOVERNOR Max Gardner knows his own muni, and he says he should, he will never be a candidate for office again in North Carolina. As was noted in a news article in the last issue of this paper, it is the second time Governor Gardner has said such things, the most recent utterance being made before a gath ering of farmers in Guilford county. Governor Gardner "ith his political experience should know full well that a farmer seldom forgets a political declaration, and for that reason ho was, without doubt, aware as to the significance that might be attached to the statement. Yet, perhaps because of provincial pride in a home pro luct, Tlie SVtr notes that the Governor said “I will not bo ■V candidate in North Carolina again,” not just the bare ; la lenient that “I will not be a candidate again.” There tt»uy be r.o basis whatsoever to this trick observa ton upon our part, Lot the recollection comes of a state ment mao.e by a North Carolinia man at the Tech-Carolira football gams where hs noticed Governor Roosevelt and Gov ernor Gardner seated side by side in the box of dignitaries. The statement was: “We may be seeing that pair pictured light often together in 1931?.” Which, of course, would make Mr. Gardner a candidate again, but not a candidate for s North Carolina office. If you get us. MAYBE rr IS A JOB FOR THE PARENTS TO DO NEWBOLD, of the North Carolina Department of Education, writes an interesting article on the subject cchoolhouses are Cheaper Than Jails.” Ho notes among other things that very few of the pris oners in this State are well educated, and that coincides with the information recently published by The Star that in all the white youths in the North Carolina penitentiary there is not a single high school graduate. It is ail right, in fact, it is good, for us to say that Echoolhouses are cheaper than jails and that there are no high school graduates in prison, but is that all we are going to do about it? Shouldn’t the above information be repeated ly brought to the attention of North Carolina parents ? And isn’t it reasonable that the parents are the folks to do some thing about it? The boy who drops out of school before he receives his high school diploma has already passed beyond the jurisdic tion of the compulsory school law. Whose business then, if ont the parents', to see that he remains in school? A big percentage of boys, we believe, should never attend college. because they will not be benefited by the advantages and the world will not be helped because they had such advam iages, but there is no plausible reason, other than a few unusual exceptions, why every North Carolina youth should not have a high school education. Parents may give in too readily when their boys decide that they have been in school long enough and having reached that age prefer to hang ebout on the streets uptown. Some youths have to quit school because necessity forces them to go to work, but very few boys of this class ever hear a prison door swing to behind them. Perhaps we are wrong, and if so, apalogies go with the declaration, but it is our belief that the boy who stops school to loaf is the boy who develops criminal tendencies for to keep step with the ther lounging shieks he must have money and conveniences. His dad may permit him to loaf, but he will draw the line at furnishing him all the spending money he may want. And in such conditions criminals are cultivated. VVtfat of it, parents? Try Again.
