Teacher association of- Mooresboro met in its regular meeting on the night of February 10.

J The program was very good and well presented. Everyone enjoyed it to the fullest extent. The entire community appreciates the efforts the teachers put forth in making possible such programs as they have been sponsoring. This appreciation Is expressed in many ways, but particularly in the interest and attendance at the P. T. A. meetings. When the associa tion was organized, there were less than fifty members. Since that time the number has been gradually in creasing and at the meeting in Jan uary there were sixty-five on roll. On Friday February 10, a maximum enrollment of seventy-five was reached, an Increase of ten in one month. It is hoped that still more will come in before the end of the school term. All are exceedingly proud of this widespread interest. Idle Parent-Teacher association is. a. considerably new experience for this community. but each one is trying to make it a success. The different committees have been very active In carrying out tlietr work. The improvement committee with the aid of others is changing the looks of the school ground by adding more trees and shrubbery. Everybody j is giving aid where possible to Imake this one of tlie mast success ful years in the history of the [ inoorosboro school Wayside Gang Meets In Mountain Mount Proceed* To Bp Divided Between (he Schools And the Shut-Tn People.

Kings Mountain, Feb. 16.—An en« I M'talnment sponsored by the local C'ivltan club and the American Le gion. featuring Harold C. told Wayside) Brown of Charlotte, will bo given the Central school auditorium here Tuesday evening at ft o’colck.

Rough Cottons In Smart Town Suits FASHION haa a flair for checks 4 and stripes—especially when they are woven In the new cotton mesh or tweed fabrics. Interest in smart open weaves and rough novelty textures has nsver been so keen as at the moment. Much of this interest is due to the sheer ness of many of these fabrics which achieve a lacy effect suitable to the new ‘'dressmaker” costumes. In dressmaker suits reflecting the peplum and redingote modes of our grandmothers, cotton makes its bow in the town mode lor 1931. Since the fashion-wise Parisienne .vis adopted short sleeves, either the frock or the ,\acket in (lie spring ensemble usually conform* to this youthful fashion. The mod #1 to the left, with its short-sleeved coat suggestive of the redlngote. combines navy and white checked cotton net with plain navy net in the 'sleeveless frock. Tailored simplicity in the coat Is interest ingly contrasted with the feminine influence noted in the styling of the frock, making (his costume appropriate for many occasions. The mode for blauck and white is reflected in the model to the right, of a new lacy cotton tweed. Decidedly new features of the jacket are the novel sleeve treat ment and the scarf collar of white mesh which matches the deep yoke Of the sleevless frock. Shoes and handbag of s hew white cotton lacy fabric and draped hat of white mesh are smart, accessories. Fatigue Makes Women Old At 50 Taking It Easy Keeps Them Young The strenuous life is taking a larger and larger toll of life among American women, ac i ording to statistics gathered by |>r» Ruth Wadsworth for Col ; lier’s Weekly. The nervous breakdown, which used to be the private property of the rich and useless, has now become com mou property. • Fatigue Is a disease.’' Dr. Wads worth points out. “It poisons our systems more slowly hut just as surely as any of our best-known geims making women old at fifty. But there is a sure cure—just take It easy! “What causes old age? Why, the answer is simple—living! The pas sage of the years. And we can hast en old age by crowding in one year what it should take two years to accomplish. “Fatigue is nature's danger sig nal. It is the great pal and hench man of the ever-present germ. There's nothing the germs responsi ble for colds love better than a nice, tired woman. I could name many more seriously-minded bacteria which get a foothold because fati gue has helped them. “Lots of castor oil would be con served, and many people would be prouder of their livers, if they real ized what happens to the liver and stomach and intestines when fati gue interferes with their daily tasks. “That tired feeling is a disease to which we become more and more susceptible. Allow yourself to become exhausted once—really 'sick-tired, as some people call it- and the next time you will get tired a little soon er. They say that fatigue not only uses up all the reserve energy In our bodies, but. produces a little poison of its own. Tit is poison, just like the poison generated by some of the germs of diseases, gives us symptoms very like disease. We have head aches, and even a little temperature sometimes. Our stomachs act exact ly as if they had been fed unhealthy oysters, and our intestines behave as they do after an -overdose of green apples. "Of course the state of being sick tired Is one which any sensible wom an will try to avoid, no matter how Indifferent she may be to Just mild, casual fatigue. But the important thing is for her to be able to make a diagnosis: to realize that the fati gue which accompanied her symp toms was actually what caused them, and not Just something inci dental. She must learn to blame herself, and not her glasses or a sick oyster or a few green apples. If she is to prevent a similar attack. "Also, we have pretty good reason to believe that this poison generated by fatigue is the real cause of the premature aging of the arteries which makes people die of old age at fifty.” Work Is Not Ail. Practically all men and women who have attained positions of dis tinction and influence have shown qualities other than the capacity for hard work.—The American Maga zine. Unsatisfactory, Auloist (to pedestrian lies just run overj—Here’s a ten spot. I'll give you more later. I... Victini—What's the idea? I do not Schoose to be run over on the in jstallment plan !

Average Family Borrows Money Once In Two Years, Survey Shows The average American family borrows money once in every two years to meet some kind of an emergency, according to fig ures compiled in a survey made for The American Magaslne by Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Of all American men earning less than $75 a week, one in every three is compelled to ask for a loan at the banks or oth er lending agencies. The reasons why people borrow money are varied, but the great ma jority of small loans are made for the purpose of helping someone else. A mother borrows to help her boy out of a serious situation, a sis ter borrows to pay for an operation which may save her brother’s life, a boy borrows the railroad fare that will schd his father to a climate where he may conquer a wasting disease—these, according to Miss Marshall, are characteristic reasons riven for loans made by the 250 big hanks which have established spe ':al departments for lending small mounts to salaried persons. Twenty-two percent of these bor rowers are clerical employees—the largest single group. Salesmen make up the next highest—thirteen per cent of the total. Ten per cent are public employees of the nation, state or city. Eight per cent are de partmental heads—a larger (jrotip then mechanics. Drivers, truckmen. storekeepers ask for loans In about equal number. Foremen, member; of professions, even corporation of ficers help to swell the total, in ad dition to a miscellany of othei workers. A composite photograph of th» average borrower has even been de veloped. This borrower is thirty four years of age, has been in the sami position steadily for more than five years, earns $2,755 a year, is married and has at least one child. The loui: for which he asks averages $520. From one-quarter to one-third of the character loans go to worffen, and there is no difference between the sexes in meeting their fU.ancln' obligations. Self-supporting women show a business-like attitude in asking for and in paying back small loans. German Has A Job Just Sipping Beer Dortmund, Germany.—One Ger man who will not spend much of hi; wages in beer halls is the new em ploye of the Work Psychology Insti tute, whose sole duty is to drink fourteen bottles of beer a day.
