This will be strictly adherred to. MONDAY, NOV. 4, 192!). * # * The Communists JWJINKLES .»-< haven’t created any trouble in the State recently and if some of the editorial writers, still arous ed over labor troubles, ^yould let up in their barrage of cracks at each other and at all not in argument with their views, then, we might have a few weeks of peace, ' A week from today Baptists of North Carolina will be swarming the streets of the county-seat of one of the strong est Baptist counties in the South. This will he the fourth time that Shelby has entertained the State convention and •very Shelby citizen, regardless of denominational ties, should do his or her part to see that the gathering has a bet ter time than on either of the three previous visits to town. ' Now that the Philadelphia Athletics have won another world’s series we note that several church papers are includ ed among the periodicals citing interesting facts about the life of Connie Mack. Some of them, recalling their attitude during the last election, surely did not notice that Cornelius McGilllcuddy is a Catholic, * . > - A whit* man was convicted in court here last week of stealing meat from two smoke houses and that, doesn’t seem to be a good boost for the reported prosperity of this big 'cotton-growing county, but a close perusal of the evidence will reveal that he was charged with carrying the meat off to his home in another county. DONT BE A PIKER WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BE A CROOK ALBERT'FALL, former Cabinet officer convicted of ac cepting a $100,000 bribe in a shady deal of government land, was sentenced to one ye^r in prison. Out in Oklahoma recently, as we recall, a man was sent, up for life after being convicted of robbing a filling station of one dollar and thir teen cents. Draw your own conclusions and make your own remarks. BUILDING A HOSPITAL IN ELKIN AND IN SHELBY— <^HELBY people will be interested in the announcement that Dr. Hugh K. Boyer, retiring pastor of Central Methodist church here, is a member of the first board of directors for i the new Methodist hospital to be erected at Elkin. The Duke Foundation gave $35,000 to the hospital and Elkin citizens matched the gift.. The Chatham family gave the site for the building, also contributing to Elkin’s $36,000 share and the hospital is to be known as the Hugh Chatham Memorial hospital. Incidentally, is this county not going to match the Duke gift for the enlarging of the Shelby hospital? DO YOUR PART FOR THE SCOUTS WHEN THEY CALL TUESDAY. *J*UESDA\ representatives of various civic clubs about Shelby will canvass the city for funds with which to carry on the Boy Scout work here. These clubs by their contact withjthe Scout organization realize the great value of the fine organization to the youth of Shelby and section and are voluntarily giving of their time to help raise the necessary funds. The fact that you may not have a boy to be benefit ted by Scout training should not prevent your helping in the movement, for if you have any civic pride it should be ap parent that the Shelby of tomorrow depends more upon the boys of today than upon anything else—and a Boy Scout is a pretty good start at Molding a real man for the citizenship of tomorrow. Shelby will be asked for only $1,000 for the Scout work, and if everyone gives a little it should not prove any bur den at all. . „ MU Jk WHY MAKE A SCRUB* WOMAN OF * A GOOD NURSE? 'J'HE importance of the nursing profession has been Strengthened of recent years and now thinking people rate the nurse in a sick room as second only to the physician. The Star believes that eventually this growing realization of the worth of the trained nurse will result in the cutting off of the things required of a nurse in training and after she becomes a trained nurse, or graduates from her course. Dr. Will Mayo, one of the world’s greatest surgeons, notes Franklin P. Adams in The New York World, defends the trained nurse, saying that at present her fine training fe wasted in scrubbing floors, making beds, giving patients baths, and other tasks a hospital maid could be trained to do in six months. Not to add putting the flowers out into the hall every night, bringing them back in the morning, fresh ening the water, and keeping the donors’ cards straight. To our way of thinking Dr. Mayo is everlastingly right. Maids or janitors who cannot become trained nurses might doi some of the work the nurse is required to do thus giving her more time to do something the others cannot do. In a business office the efficient stenographer and bookkeeper is not required to sweep and keep the fire going fn the fur pace. ' ‘ m * HAS THE “EASY PAYMENT" PLAN *31% proven its soundness? A CONTROVERSY which has never been settled and keeps ** bobbing- up in the newspapers is that as to whether or not the installment, or “easy payment,” plan, now so popular in America, is basically sound. There are indications at times that it is not as many people purchase things they are not able to own, but at other times it appears as if the easy payment way has made conveniences and even luxuries possible for many people who could not have secured them by outright purchase. •*‘1 This paper is inclined to stick with the old guard in a view Ebeltoft brought with him from Louisiana, arid which, no doubt, came over with his ancestors from Norway—“never buy anything until you can pay for it, because it is not until then that you can afford it.” Yet there is another angle worthy of consideration as it is presented by The Asheville Citizen: AJUfcjlflWWi “An automobile dealer, when asked whether the majority of his sales were made on the installment plan or the other way, replied, ‘What other way?’ * “In spite of early warnings of danger voiced bv econom ists and bankers, the installment plan of merchandising has during the past decade become one of the basic features of business practice in this country. According to statistics made available by the Magazine of Wall street, more than far and one-half billion dollars’ worth of merchandise—com forts, luxuries and essentials—is now bought and sold an nually on the time payment method. “If the plan were inherently unsound, a sales volume of this magnitdde would, in all probability, reveal its weakness. Yet the facts effectually dispell the predictions of a few years ago that “easy payments’’ would lead to extravagance and to a mortgaging of future earning power beyond the capacity to pay. For the head of one of the largest companies financ ing installment buying has just come forward with the in formation that losses incurred in time merchandising do not exceed seventy-five hundredths of one per cent. “Apparently the same judgment of the individual Amer ican consumer has been vindicated. With four and a half bil lion dollars’ worth of automobiles, furniture, radios, and oth er industrial products going into American homes every year on the deferred payment plan, a loss of less than one per cent would seem to constitute reasonable evidence that the aver age purchaser is able to make a fair appraisal of his futui e earning capacity, and is fundamentally sincere in his effort to meet obligations assumed. “We are learning to take “statistical prosperity’’ with mo e than the prescribed grain of salt, yet to even the most cautious analyst the present volume of successfully complet ed time payment transactions must indicate something bet ter than a generally impoverished nation.” Farmer Asks Governor About Making Little Run Of Brandy Greensboro—Governor O Max Gardner’s visit to Summerfield last week was not without Its lucid in terval* as was revealed by eye wit nesses. Alse Pegram. a farmer of the Summerfield section and one of tnc community's humorous philoso phers, was up with the sun Thurs day morning determined to give hie loyal support to the entertainment of the governor and It possible to greet Mr. Gardner In person. Just after the chief executive’s stirring agricultural address, deliv ered at the rally, Alse went to County Manager D. L. Donnell and asked the latter to get him a few minutes audience with the governor. Mr. Donnell granted the wish to his consistituent and introduced Mr Pegvam to the governor whereupon Alse said: “Governor, I have done everything you told me to do in your speecn. X have a lot of laying hens. I don’t buy anything to eat at the store excert coffee and sugar and a few things like that. I have three good milk cows. But there is one thing wrong at my house. I am getting a little short on brandy and wondered if you would allow me to make a lit tle.” The governor studied over the proposition a few seconds, and then told Alse that he had better take that matter up with the federal gov ernment. And Alse w'ent his way. Try Star Wants Ads. GLAMOROUS ! DAZZLING!
