What of the congregation ? They, fortunately, took it by shifts. Heflin, side-tracked from the headline for a brief per iod is now all hot and botherod with the fear A1 Smi$h will l>e nominated again. Or maybe Tom-tom merely found enough leisure time to emit a Smith blast becaue Mussolini was handling the pope angle. General banking conditions are improving, North Caro lina’s new bank commission announces. And, where pos sible, our guess is that savings accounts are growing. Its the same educational method, this so-called depression as that whereby a child plays with fire just once. CHARLES ESKRIDGE A town of Shelby’s sice never has many men of the Charlie Eskridge type. That is one pf the many reasons why his sudden demise was such a shock to the people of the town in which he had lived his entire life, developing from a town boy into a town leader. He was not only the first to become interested in progressive new ideas, but he was en dowed with the talent of thinking just a bit ahead of the crowd. He came up in the business world becaue he realized that the old order must always give away to the new. But with all of his ability and energy he remained the same like able, courteous friend to all who knew him; success did not lessen or detract from a personality that attracted friends. His passing is a heavy blow' to members of his family and they have the deep sympathy of the entire section. MANY FINE GARDENS WHEAT AND GRAIN crops and other live-at-1iome ero; s in Cleveland counly this year have been the subject of considerable comment, but from one close observer we hear that one of the major 4ive-at-home items is being over looked. Reference is to gardens. All over Cleveland county, and in Shelby, according to older residents there are more and better gardens and truck patches than in more years than a middle-aged man cares to remember. Some time ago in cooperation with the home demonstration agent, farm agent and seed dealers The Star ran a special garden section in which the value of a good gar den was emphasized. Coming at a time when people were thinking in terms of gardens and growing their own food the special emphasis seems to have had its effect. Mrs. Wallace, the demonstration agent, is enthused over what she terms the best collection of fine gardens to be seen anywhere. All of which is doubly cheering. No matter what the cash crops bring this section will have an abundance of good, healthy food instead of hunger for necessities. DEATH ON THE HIGHWAYS THESE FACTS SHOULD have your attention, if you Rre a motorist or take occasional rides in automobiles—and most people do: Statistics assembled by the North Carolina automobile bureau, as published in The Star this week, show that more people are killed in auto accidents on Sunday afternoons be tween 3 and 4 o’clock on straight stretches of highway in the rural sections. Those, may we remind, are the danger spots to watch. They should be given more attention than the sweeping curves. Why ? It is between 3 and 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoon that the motoring public arouses from the drowsy relaxation that follows the midday meal and family autos are packed as everyone takes a ride. The majority of them seek the open spaces and fresh air of the countryside. Up bobs a long stretch of straight road that invites speed. A big percentage of the motorists step down on the gas feed just a little more. There are many, many cars along the highway. A speed maniac decides the pace is too slow for him. He shoots out from behind a string of autos and crashes into an auto com nig the other way. Or some driver, usually cautious, thinks j he will slip out behind a car ahead and make a little better time. He tears into another fellow with the same idea com ing the other way. Or, again, on the straight stretch cars are traveling in opposite directions, both travelling fast. Realizing their speed the drivers attempt to be cautious and perhaps touch the brakes or swerve just at the time the cars are passing. Another crash, more deaths! The automobiles are not killing us; we are killing our selves. Remember those straight stretches. They do not .look as if they are dangerous. That is why they are be cause it is there the motorist takes a chance—and as a re sult we are carrying on a slaughter far greater than that of the World War. Over on the wall of th« Cleveland county court house is * bronze tablet bearing the names of the Cleveland boys who died for their country during the war. Suppose the of everyone killed or maimed in auto accidents since the war could be placed on tablets on the walls ol . '-e county building. In another year or so there would hardly be enough space left for doros and windows TOPNOTCHERS by Ket OUR NEXT PRESIDENT? Did The Star publish the photograph of the next Presi dent of the United States on the front page Monday2 If the next president is a Democrat, will he be Franklin D. Roose velt? And if he is a Republican will he be Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania? The political experts—the boys who generally know what they are talking about—say that Roosevelt is far out ahead if the other Democratic possibilities. So far ahead, in fact, that there is little chance of another getting the nomination. But what of Pinchot ? He has almost overnight crowded into the limelight as the G. O. P. dark horse, but at the rate of interest in his candidacy increases he may be one of the fav orites instead of a mere dark horse in a few more months, rhe fact that he developed rapidly as a presidential prospect does not mean that the Pennsylvania man is just now getting started. He has been prominent in Pennsylvania and nation al Republican politics for years. Mr. Hoover isn’t altogether pleasing to all members of his own party and silently the Re publican bosses have been casting about to locate a candidate who will find favor should developments go against Mr. Hoo ver about convention time. They’ve named this and that man, but to date none o\ those mentioned has seemed to click is did the chance mention of Pinchot. Now they’re talking Pinchot. It is generally presumed, however, that Mr. Hoover will be a candidate for re-election. Such is generally accepted along the second term plan. Strong and organized opposition will have to reveal itself before Mr. Hoover is side-tracked; mere rumbles from the populace will not do it. But with times as they are, customs and habits of years are being broken. It isn’t such a remote possibility that Hoover will be one president not nominated for the second term. As we say, the odds nevertheless are better than 5 to 1 that he will be. Should he not be, do not be surprised if the Republican nominee is Pinchot. - Incidentally, new names are being talked in high circles as running mates for Mr. Hoover. Some time ago, remem ber, there was an inclination to believe that Senator Dwight Morrow of New Jersey might be a candidate for the Re publican presidential nomination. Morrow has grown in fa vor in recent years, but the former ambassador announced he had no such ambitions at this time. Only recently Wash ington reports had it that Mr. Curtis would not seek the vice presidency again. At this point the name of Morrow broke into the political news again. One Washington writer, an able one, says Mr. Hoover’s running mate will be Morrow or Theodore Roosevelt. Morrow can have it for saying so, the writer states, but if the Democrats nominate Franklin Roose velt, the Republicans may put the son of old Teddy on their ticket to offset the drawing power of the famous name. Would it not be colorful to see the Roosevelt name on both presidential tickets next year? It could happen, you know. Lily Mill Mention Of the Week’s News Lewis Hastings and Mrs. Zero Bivins Sick.
