Shelby SIDELIGHTS
By KENN DRUM.
*»A- AAA W AAA AAA A*
Stand by, please, for this Hlppley!
ripple:
Believe It or not, but Matt
O’Shields, who lives out on West
Warren street, lives between Friday
and Mundy,. (See footnote at bot-1
tom of colyum, when you flounder j
through the remainder of this, forj
| the explanation.)
in tickling a typewriter over a
period of more years than wc care
to recall we Have often used the ex
pression “not worth a tinker’s dam."
One time a holier-than-thou Indi
vidual (wonder if they know how
delightfully the world could get
along without their type?* called us
down for using profanity in the
public prints.
Not that it matters very much,
but for fear others will be needless
ly shocked, we will explain that that
aint cursin'. A tinker's dam, friends,
is a little wall of mud which a tink
er uses to protect a spot which he
proposes to solder. When the sol
dering is completed the piece of
mud is thrown away. So you see
anything “not worth a tinker’s dam”
isn’t worth Very much.
Now that we have that- sinful
topic off our chest, wonder what
else there is to chat about.
O, jest A black boy staggered Into
a local drug store the other night
holding his jaw and begging for a
doctor. When the doctor got to him
he told a fantastic yarn about
someone swinging at him with ah
axe and barely cutting across his
<aw. The doctor looked at the in
i jury. %
"Boy, you're lyin',” the physician
said to him. "An axe didnt do that.
What did?”
The negro stammered a bit and
there it came—“Doc, mall gal don’t
bit me.”
That’s how ardent some of these
dusky maidens about town are In
their affairs of the heart.
YonVe got the whole town on Its
ear,” writes in a reader, “by that
statement about the city's most
beautiful woman. You should have
named her, or you shouldn’t have
mentioned it.”
How well we know that, friend.
Only this morning one of the city’s!
best known young men called us i
into an alley, shuffled up close and
whispered ’’Who is she?” To date
1,346 peop’e have expressed more or
less curiosity about the matter.
Down at Dnke university, that
mlllion-dollar school house at Dur
ham, there are four Cleveland coun
ty boys of whom all of us home
folks should be proud.
When the new Duke medical
school opened over three thousand
(3,002, to be exact) young men ap
plied for admission. After the tests
were Riven only 52 were admitted.
Four of the 52 were Cleveland coun
ty boys. If that isn’t something to
get high-hat over, what Is?
One of the quartet, W M. E..
dropping us a note, Informs that all
four read this eolyum. Right then
we thought we realized why they
are such smart boys. But then he
added this line—"But don't get up
stagey, oldtlmer, we also read the
want ads as regularly as The Star
Hornes in.”
What a cruel world. Those are
tear strains you see right there on
that line.
But while we wipe the tears off
on our shirt sleeve we would add
that we desire to remain friends
with those promising young medi
cos. You see Wa'lace Wade is
coaching football there and we have
a hunch that some of these days he
will be talcing a Duke eleven to the
Rose Bowl When he carried the
Alabama team to California recent
ly he took with him, express and
freight charges prepaid, 10 South
ern sport writers. Maybe bell be
taking ten from this neck of the
woods when he carries the Blue
Devils out there—If you get our
Idea. And, you Duke boys, why not
help Wade win a championship by
tipping him off about a young, long
legged halfback named Oo’d and a
wiry, squirmy, heady little quarter
back by the name of Wall?
’’’his one is to good not to talk about
it:
Down in Raleigh the other morn
ing when the state senators and
representatives walked up to the
desk at the Sir Walter each of them
was handed a sample package of
a popular headache powder with
their mall. Those fellows who do
the advertising for the headache
relief firm certainly know their
business, and, somehow or another,
we are wondering if they cou’d
have selected a better group in
which to pass out samples.
We say that remembering the
niece Spencer Murphy, whose own
dad Is a veteran legiTator, wrote
about the dressers in the Raleigh
hotels. You remember it—dressers
with round stains all over them
made by dripping fruit Jars?
That may cause the general as
sembly to pass a law making it a
crime for anyone, nitwits or other
wise, to write newspaper columns.
Here we ro, taking another chance
at being ostracized and beheaded:
Next week the good ladies of *bs
town will gather at a club meeting
to make plans for bringing on a
more general usage, In wearing ap
parel, of cotton-made garments and
material. Would it be the helcht of
bad taste and ill manners (we've
always been something of a coun
try lout) to wonder how many of
the ladles present will be wearing
cotton hosiery-- and how many silk
hosiery?
Toodle-oo!

proht agents visited Shelby and
wandered about town a day or so

checked out on his last adventurous

(understand, we do not believe
everything we heart has it that a
local dentist recently told a patron
that a man's teeth are his best
friends. The patron then reached
up, pulled out his upper. , and said

about Matt O'Shields living between

DUAL HIGH PERFORMANCE
The smart Chrysler Straight Eights have an ex
clusive Multi-Range 4-speed transmission providing
Dual High gears and a quiet, quick gear shift.
One "high” is fat sprinting in traffic and for fast,
easy hill-ciunbing — the other for the open toad.
low CENTER OF GRAVITY
An extremely low center of gravity, besides being an
attribute of unusual smartness, is a great factor of
safety because of better balance — resulting in out
standing performance, road - clinging steadiness,
greater riding comfort and security at all speeds.
SAFETY BODIES OF STEEL
The Chrysler Straight Eights are noted for their
strong steel body construction — welded into solid
walls of one-piece strength; completely insulated
for silence; no joints to cause rattles or squeaks.
