Student Essay On Cloth Manufacture At Cleveland Cloth On April 1st. Mr. M. O Latham principal of Beams Mill elementary school, brought the pupils of the 7th grade for an observation tour of the Cleveland Cloth mill, for the purpose of learning the different stages of processing In the manu facture of doth. Mr. 3 B. Hothersail. general superintendent offered four yards of cloth as a prise for the best es say written on the manufacture of cloth The following essay by Miss lnea Cornwell was picked by Mr Latham as the best, and was Judg ed to be very good by the manage ment of the mill. The Manufacture of Cloth. The raw material Is cleansed, carded and spun Into yarn. The yarn la then woven into cloth. Some mills manufacture yarns only, while other textile institutions do not make yarn, but receive the yam from elsewhere, this happens to be the case at Cleveland Cloth manufacturing plant, of Shelby. The manufacture of cloth Is as follows: The yarn Is received at the mill on skeins and Is removed by un winding. and Is then placed on beams. This yarn or thread Is then drawn through a heated starchy liquid In order to strengthen the thread so that It will not break so easily. The thread Is run or drawn out of this starchy liquid over aomethlng like a beam so as to dry this thread that Is wet with this __i—_ - U * a Handling this new Buick is pleasant and easy be* cause of such features as an adjustable steering column, adjustable driver's seat, silent* shift Syncro-Mesh Transmis sion and a road shock elim inator which prevents jolts from reaching the steering gear. <1025 «o4 Bft, L o. k Flints Mick # # 0 satesr ■M** «/ mi SMS JfcWcfe Eiftti «U S* wiimmtd ibramtkami lit cmiat J.

Rayon silk cloth of various beau Iful designs are made in this local plant. A Mir. White i6 the expert designer of this factory. The cloth made in Cleveland Cloth mill Is then sent to certain finishing plants where the starch la removed, and It U thus made ready for the market. Cleveland Cloth mills are very cleaning In going through the pro cess of making cloth. They have up to-date machinery, and the ma chinery is kept very clean, so as not to soil the thread or yarn. They manufacture a fine quality of silk, with lots of different and beauti ful designs. We ought to be proud that we have a mill like the Cleveland Cloth mill In our own home town, and also because of the above rea sons Mr. Baker's Chances Slim. Charlotte News. Washington newspaper corre spondents refuse to take the recent outburst of publicity in behalf of the nomination of Newton D. Biker by the Democrats seriously. They don’t think that Mr. Baker has a chance.

Mecklenburg Times. A short while ago our friend Mr. Brevard Nixon had a letter in the Open Forum of The Charlotte Ob server about "The Tax Receipt." He wanted to know where his tax money went and several other things about tax money. He said, “In Mecklenburg county there la a "county property tax,” but your re ceipt docs not state what particular purposes this tax is levied and us ed for." We are sure Mr. Nixon did not examine hi* receipt or he would not have made this statement, for the tax receipt does Itemize the levy for the "county property tax." It gives the levy, or division, of this fund as follows: General fund, poor fun. Interest and principal, high ways, general schools, T. B. hospital and drainage. The tax receipt also shows the property valuation a* It Is assessed for taxation and It Is an easy matter for Mr. Nixon to see how much of his money goes for each of these departments. He asks about the "general school tax” and the “special school tax.” The “general school tax” is for the operation of the schools for the six months period as required by the constitution. The "special school tax” Is for the operation of the schools for the extended term of two months. The "special school tax” must provide for one-fourth of the operating cost and all Invest ments and expenses, for the eight months term and the "general school tax” for three-fourths. That is simple enough. Mr. Nixon also says, "It would be quite interesting for some enterpris ing reporter to inform the public how many employees Charlotte and Mecklenburg has and bow much Is paid from the Janitors on up.” The Mecklenburg Times ha* done this very thing, in part This year we have published the entire monthly payroll, Including the name* and amount paid from "jan itors on up” for the general fund, county home and farm, recorder’s court, welfare department. Juvenile court domestic relations court, tax commission, home and farm demon stration work, T. B. sanatorium, Industrial home, drainage commis sion, and highway commission. List* are being prepared for other de partment* of the county and will be completed soon. These lists have given the names of all the employ ees In each department and the amount of salary paid. * Ths new state highway act re moves the 17.6 cents levy lor the support of county highways; and the MacLean echoed law as It was written would eliminate only a part of the 37.5 cents for general school funds. The “special school tax" would not be affected, as this Is purely a Mecklenburg county affair as to the operation of the schools beyond the constitutional six months term. The MacLean school bill does not take over any of the debt service, bonds, Intereat, school equipment, repairs and additions to school buildings, purchase and repairs on school buses, etc. Only the oper ating costs of the schools are cov ered In the MacLean bill, and tax es on land must care for everything else. If Mr. Nixon will get a copy of the "Report of the Tax Commis sion of North Carolina" he will have a list of the bonded indebtedness of the state and each county, town ship,‘district, city and town. It Is an interesting report, but would not be practical for a newspaper to print this list.

Shelby, if yon care for our type of philosophical observation, is the size town where a hostess at a mixed party would start the whole burg buzzing with gossip if she dared wear some of those hostess pajamas you see advertised by the elite gown shoppes. A couple of the boyf* in the Shelby band, which made 'em all Sit up and listen at Greensboro last week, pulled a little extemporaneous stunt that' made a number of sophisticated Greensboro citizens look up and gasp. Anyway, that's how the story was related to us. The King Cotton hotel where the Shelby band, three times state champions, stopped is 14 stories high. One afternoon somebody peered out an office window of the JefTerson Standard, Greensboro’s skyscraper, looked towards the King Cotton roof, let out a shriek and began tele phoning. A few minutes later the desk clerk at the King Cotton very near had convulsions and for a period of time excitement ran high. Why? What did the man in the JefTerson Standard building see? Nothing much—Just two Shelby school boys walking along the cornice of the hotel, 14 stories above the sidewalk, and doing it as nonchalantly as \t they were prancing about the roof of Shelby’s Empire State build ing—the Masonic temple—looking down upon the Key club or post office. For once the routine of things was reversed. Ordinarily when a tank town youngster goes to the big city he does the rubber-necking and the big city folks are mildly amused. This time a couple tank town boys made the others do the rubber-necking. It’s remarkable how stories like that fill up space on dull days like this. Guess you’d noticed it? If tom* of the readers desire to pep up today’s spasm, we ll give them the next three lines in which to tell who will be mayor and why. Since nobody responds, well do the telling. It's the easiest thing in the world to figure out. As many may remember, we’ve done It often heretofore. But we’ll be forced, In order to get the remainder of the colyum read, to ask you to wait until you to get to the end of the colyum for the prediction. Now—and this Is a real treat—if you're in a philosophical mood, let’s ramble through this ‘‘Soulful Soliloquy In a Cotton Furrow”: Over the hills trailed a man Behind a mule drawing a plow. The clodhopper was ’’broadcasting.” ‘‘Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man, made in the image of God. yet here we worked hitched together year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me, or if I work for you. Sometimes I think this Is a partnership between a mule and a darn fool, for surely I do double the work you do. Plowing here we cover the same distance, but you do It on four legs and I do It on two; so mathematically speaking I do twice as much work per leg as you do. Soon we'll be preparing for a corn crop. When the crop is har vested I give one-third to the landlord for being kind enough to let me use this corner of God’s creation; the other goes to you and what Is left Is my share. But while you consume your entire third except a few cobs, I divide mine among seven children, six hens, two duck", and a banker. “Bill, you are getting the best of me. It ain’t fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to rob a man, the lord of creation, of his substance, and come to think of it you only help to cultivate the ground after I have to cut, shock and husk It, wnlle you look over the pasture fence and he-haw at me. "All Fall and part of the Winter the whole family, from granny on down to the baby, pick cotton to raise money to buy a new set of # harness and pay the interest on the mortgage on you, and by the way what do you care about the mortgage? It don’t worry you any—net a darn bit. You leave that to me, you ungrateful hard-tail cuss. “About the only time I am your better is on election day, for J can vote and you can’t, but if I even get any more cut of politics than you do, I don’t see where it Is.” Shelby Short*: Did you know that Kiffln Hayes, sons of the Central Methodist pastor, was named for his uncle, KiHln Rockwell, the Ashe ville aviator who attained fame in the World war? Another uncle ol the Shelby lad, Paul Rockwell, served In the French Foreign Legion after the World war and was a captain at Morocco. He has written several books centering about his experiences and was a visitor in Shelby last summer . . Now some dumb dodo may bob up and ask If he met Mar lene Dietrich.Everybody gets a break sooner or later.

The foliage on the court square is too thick now to see the clock anyway.Wondei^ how many other Shel by people received a polite little card from the Camel cigarette contest people yesterday? That must mean, if you please, that quite a number of us are out of the running for the money .... A lot of people have called the present legislature names, but our guess ip that the Wicker sham dogfall commission could do a better job of it than anyone else ..... If you haven't started reading it, you’re missing a corking good story in The Star’s new serial, "Trader Horn” . . . .

"When you're picking out Shelby’s most beautiful girls,” chirps up a reader, “you should not overlook two or three perfect beauties over at the high school." Dummy, did you ever know a man who could overlook a perfect beauty? Maybe we just don’t know some of their names. ^ Oh, Yeti Bytthe way, the next mayor will be the man WHO GETS THE MOST VOTES MONDAY. (Just between us: an aged Shelby man tells us that his grandfather handed it down to him that that pun was related by the first citizen of Shelby to the second man who moved tc town from Blacksburg).
