Long to head a committee of prominent persons to plan Louisiana’s par ticipation in the celebration of George Washington’s 200th birth day anniversary in 1932. Pincliot May Lead Independent Program n ay—t , T Governor-elect Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, is being mentioned as a possible rallying point for the independent program that would receive impetus if the proposal of Senator George W. Norris of Ne braska, to abolish the Electoral College, is accepted. Anniversary Of B. And L. Birth Movement, Born Jn Philadelphia Ha-s Grown From Original $244 To Nearly $9,000,000,000. Philadelphia.—Saturday marked the one hundredth anniversary of the organization in the United Stat es Of the first' building 'and loan as sociation. Many celebrations of the annl very were held in various part of the country but the formal centen nial commemoration will hot take place until next August, when the United States building and loan, lea tie holds. its annual convention in Philadelphia. Born in Thomas Sidebotham’s tavern in Philadelphia on the night of January 3, 1831, the movement has grown from an original $244 to nearly $9.000,0.00,000. The tavern, now known as the Park Hotel, still stands. The group of 37 citizens of Frank ford, then a borough in Philadelphia county, probably never dreamed that when they organized what they termed a “building club," they were inaugurating a movement which in the course of a century would would spread throughout the United States and aid in the financing of millions of homes. There are now 12,342 building and loan associations in the coun try with a total membership of 12. 111,209, and investments aggregat ing nearly $9,000,000,000. McNinch Got Lost First Day On Job Washington, Jan. 5—Frank. R. McNinch, of Charlotte, N. C„ one of the new Federal Power commis sioners, got lost the first day on the job. He blamed it all on Colonel Mar cel Garsaud, another member who told him how to find the commis-. sion’s offices in the interior depart ment. McNinch wandered through the maze of corridors of the depart ment building, and finally had to call for help. “It’s a poor man w'ho can’t find his own office,*4 he grinned when , finally shown the way. Around Our TOWN i Shelby SIDELIGHTS Ky RENIN DRUM. In the oltl days, before "New York Day: by Day" attained such popu larity, the two best, known news paper columns in America were R. H. L’s "Line o’ Type or Two" In The Chicago Tribune and P. P. A’s "Conning Tower” in The New York World, We now read all three, and the following verse by Helen Wel sh inter In "Line o Type or Two" Is too descriptive not to pass along: The Last Love Letter I'll write you a last love letter, And I shall say everything 1 think that you never want to hear Then I’ll return your ring. I’ll chatter on of an English inn And firelight and raih and you. Of lilies asleep in a dim green pool, And a red moon drenched with dew. And love on a star splashed beach one night. And love on a mountain top With drift of our laughter sobbing low .... Suddenly, then, I’ll stop. And yet you know that I’m through .... quite through . . , "The end of a perfect day!" I’m only looking for novelty . . ... I never "broke off" this way! Enjoyable tidbits: The Greensboro News editorial on the passing of Otto Wood, North Carolina’s will o’ wisp criminal . . . Bill Mundy's broadcast of the Ala bama-Washington football, parti cularly that line when Monk Campbell started his Icing run for a touchdown; “This Mistuh Campbell sho is headin’ South" .... Hear ing Ed Smith tickle the ivory keys of the piano at tlie Piedmont cafe with Jack Hartigan, one of the three Irish savages, singing "Colorado” ■ . Roger Laughridges cheer spreading chuckle . , . , a fried brown hindleg of a rabbit, not nec essarily a graveyard rabbit. An observation: Odd McIntyre lias more readers in Shelby than , any other writer. Perhaps because True Stories does not have a regular contributor. Shelby used nearly five million gallons less water in 1930 than in 1929. Hard to explain; we missed only two Saturday night baths. What about you? It just occurs, however, that boot leg cawn sold in 1930 for one half what it did in 1929. Maybe a num ber of fellows, and possibly a few janes, made a resolution against drinking water. Mrs. I>. S. brings this story up from Gawga: A negro man appeared at a de pot there recently and asked: "How much, sah, do It cost fuh aj round trip ticket fuh a corpse to Chlcahgo an' back?’ ' The agent told him, but then asked: “What do you want to send a corpse to Chicago and back fur?" "It's dis way, sah. Our pappy has just up an' died, Mos’ of our tambly has been livin' In Chlcahgo fuh sum time. Ah wants dem to sec him 'fore he's put away and dey wants ttih see him. But times, y'know, 'smlghty hard up dead, an' Ah figures as how it'll be much cheaper jus' to ship him up dere, let 'em See him, and den ship him on back heah than it will be fur ’em to cum down here, Fac' is, dey hatnt got de money to cum home on.” Shelby Shorts: Maybe the reason so many Shelby jjeoplc rode out 1930 in the circle around the court square was to get even-1930 rode them for 385 days .... Insofar as we know he never played poker in his life, but John R. Dover, the popular textile manufacturer, has the best poker face in town—or one of the best .... Didn't as many Shelby school teachers get married during the recent holidays as have during bygone Yuletides .... The general public may not know it (Inquisitive news hounds generally find out such things) but two of me several deaths reported in The Star after the holidays were, some say. caused by jjolson liquor . . . . New calendars coming in—a lovely blond gal with passionate- brown eyes on the Blue Ridge Ice Cream company’s time sheet; a very handy map of the United States on Har vey White's insurance calendar; a sensual, Clara Bow-i$h girlie in a good—unusually good—hosiery ad pose on the Shelby Dry Cleaning calendar; a Revolutionary war scene on the big First National’s gift; a beautiful family scene in a rural setting of Roy McBrayer's in surance calendar, and a cherub cheeked baby on the calendar of Flay Hoey, who is in the same pro fession as McBrayer; the calendar of C. A. Morrison and Son. con tractors, exhibits a very haughty appearing young lady with red hair—looks as if she wouldn't speak unless properly introduced but might melt a bit then under the Influence of the right man. Mast of them will. <Now we’ll dodge a few brickbats); then there’s the White way calendar with the tall, slender Indian girl riding a canoe on a rjp pleless lake beneath a silvery moon that tints the laughing blue waters with enchanting dashes of gold and russet. There's something about those lonely-looking young squaws that makes a man desire to do what he can to make things less lonely .If Shelby has a real Damon Pyhthias friendship It Is that be tween Fred Logan and Brevard Lattlmore. They go along through life hand In hand Just like‘day and No. 1 Township News Of Week No. 1 Township.-—The record show ! Is practically gone now.

Reminds of the days when Shelby took her football seriously and standing room was hard to find ,ln the city park. Judge B. T. Falls. w»ho has an Abe Martin manner of expressing his philosophy, says that present conditions remind him of boyhood doses of castor oil. "Everything,'• he says, "will more than likely turn out for the best and we'll all be better off. But it reminds me of having to take a dose of oil. They told me that I’d feel heaps better after while, and I knew I would, but nevertheless the taste was not so pleasant while it lasted. We've got t6 get the taste out of our mouths and get adjusted to new conditions.’* Sound reasoning, that.

Florida Town Hat No Unemployment Eustis, Fla.—This town with a population of 2.835 greeted the new year with no unemployment and not even a charity case upon which to use funds recently raised for that purpose. In its annual report the Red Cross chapter said there was not a person out of work. Its relief com mittee found a few homes where assistance had been given because of Illness but there was no demand for funds raised recently in a cam paign for the needy. A writer regrets that there ate not more Mussollnls. Elgnor Mus solini doesn't.—-Florida Times-Un lon. Rural Light Lines, Political Attacks Cleveland County's t rad In Itu.yl Electrification Is Mentioned. Charlotte Observer. A point dev hoped out of the year record Is that the attacks of remit uprising upon the public utllitle; companies have not come from householders, furthers or maim u - turers who ' try the service, but have been of almost exclusive po litical origin. . The "power trust" is the popular tiling to attack in (no opinion of political aspirants, but 1* Is not so with the people who have been bcnefiUcd by tapping the wis es- Another point, to the credit of the "trust," i, that during the pas' year,; it developed 550,000. new-cus tomers and spent; $850,000,000 in new construction, which was hared in by all sections of the country, and at! the while it was making addition of the kind to its Service, it was able to work its rates downward and did reduce them, The average cltUe.i connects electrical, service with in dustry. mainly, losing sight of the part electric power is playing for the homes of the farmers and on the farms, as well, and to domestic usets for it is from these sources that the power companies are deriving tiv larger part of their new biMdnc. v Electricity has become recognised ,« the farmers' friend During 1930. h;> many as 100.000 additional farm:, were electrified, the largest number gained In any year. Since 1923, the number of electrified farms liar, been increased at a rate which doubles every three and a half years: Some thing more than 680,000 farms over the country are now electrified Cleveland, In North Carolina, being an example rf what electricity c >.n do for the farm, In revolutionizing conditions. The domestic user also comes in for benefits tUdn to that rendered the farms. It 1.. stated that consump tion of electricity by the averap household customer last year in-. Creased from an annual rate of 002 kilowatt-hours to 650 kilowatt-hour These averages are largely exceeded in certain territories, Use of elec tricity for cooking and water hew ing are Important elements in in creased average consumption, and consumption per household is high est In territories where this class of business Is most fully developed. The possibilities of further large increas es in electrtesl consumption by ex panded use in the 20,200.000 homes now served arc considered extreme ly large. The saturation point with present available appliances is. not in sight, and new household applica tions are being continuously devel oped. Utility companies generally me alert to thesfe commercial possibti:. ties and have aggressive sales pro grams under way in appliances and lighting. It was this increased farm and do mestic consumption for the year- the* served to offset the decline In indu - trial consumption, for the curtail ments of output by the textile millf naturally developed decrease In de mand for power.
