We wish to call your attention to the fact that It Is and lias been our custom to charge five cents per hue tor resolutions of respect, cards of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly adhered to, FRIDAY, DEC. II, 1931 TWINKLES \ - Two weeks from today is THE day. That famous ditty which came along just after the war, “How You Gonna Keep ’Em Down on the Farm?” seems to be pretty well answered, chuckles a contemporary, by the depression. They’re down all right. Look up some discarded toy for the firemen to repair and give to some tot in an unfortunate home—and feel even better Christmas by making a contribution to help the Charity fund drive reach its goal. ATMOSPHERE arrives THE HOLIDAY’ atmosphere is now evident at every turn. It is a feeling and spirit that makes its appearance at ho other period of the year. The school students already know when their holidays begin and they are eagerly look ing forward to the day. Smaller youngsters are keyed up jgf only youngsters can be, and parents are happy in that $ glowing feeling of being young again themselves as they •jpref»re to put Christmas over l'or their children. Christmas . vjb Christmas, something unexcelled, in all classes. There is little need to call attention to it, as Shelby merchants do it an attractive manner in many pages of The Star today, Ipbut business Shelby is all set to do theh’ bit in getting every one ready. Starting tomorrow it will be just one rush day , after another until the big day. It just seems to have dawned on everyone, all at once, that Santa is about ready to make his annual visit. p| a vile creature EUGENE ASHCRAFT, of The Monroe Enquirer, was look ing in an old scrap book recently when he found the fol lowing. Ihy.g- “After God had finished making the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, He had sonic awful substance left with which he made the scandalmonger. A scan T* dalmoltger 1sra two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a watersogged brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where other inert have their hearts he carries a tumor of decayed principles. When the E scandalmonger comes down the street honest men turn > their backs, and angels weep tears in heaven and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.” A rather scathing, denunciatory description, but not too much so. 1 SOCIETY’S BATTLE OF THE CENTURY v 'f'HE BRIDQE BATTLE between Lenz and Culbertson, and their partners, which is now on, is attracting more at tention among the thousands of bridge followers than the Manchurian trouble. The two experts are playing each - other to settle their dispute as to which one has outlined the % best system of contract bridge. But regardless of the out come the many followers of each will continue, we believe, to argue the merits of their pet system—and, in the argumen tative line, bridge-table controversies are in a class by them selves. The LertzCulbertson tournament has attracted such attention that Arthur Brisbane has given it notice, but Mr. Brisbane takes a few’ of his jarring jabs at those who are bugs about the game. Among other things he says: “Mill ions will follow that tournament that would not listen to Einstein expounding his Relativity theory, or Sir Oliver Lodge discoursing on the imponderable ether . . . . Whoever plays a wonderfully good game of contract and concentrates on it, hour after hour, is wasting time and mental energy, since it doesn’t matter in the least which is the better bridge system. ... A better will always be found, and geese to dis cuss it.” But Mr. Brisbane does not take a crack at Culbert son and Lenz. They have managed to make a good liveli hood out of their fondness and knowledge of the game which Is the most popular in social circles in America. EMPTY HANDS BECKONING SOME THINGS must be faced. All about Shelby and Cleve land county are empty, beckoning hands, gaunt worried faces, empt^ pantries, and jobless men. The condition is no £ worse here than elsewhere, and perhaps not as bad as in most places, but it is bad enough. An organized plan of doing something about it has now been formulated. As the cogs of that relief machine begin functipning, without pay, the problem is passed on to you And you. The unemployed and the needy must be helped this winter. Those of us who have jobs may not. and are not, making as much as we once were. We do not have enough to help with as we have had. All that is admitted, but there *re those who must be aided, and it is the only charitable move for us to divide in proportion to what we have. The money will be well distributed. First of all it will -go into the necessities of life—food, fuel, shoes and clothing. Then it will go only to the needy and those who have no in come and must be helped. * 9 The soliciting group will be around in a few days. one will bo given the opportunity of giving some* ' thing what thej can. Every person who is working should be willing to give at least one day’s income each month to the relief work. Others can afford to give more, but all, if they have hearts, can give that much. It’s our biggest test ing day of what we call tha depression. It’s the time when we cannot avoid showing what we are made of. Let’s meas ure up. COURTS AND HIGHWAY PATROLMEN ARK THE COURTS not cooperating with the N. C. High way Patrol, or are the patrolmen too quick in reaching the conclusion they are not being properly supported? From Burlington comes the word that a lieutenant ol the highway patrol there has said that the patrol service in Alamance county is “seriously impaired if not entirely dis rupted as the result of the failure of the general count* court to cooperate.” The news dispatch added that four of six men sent before.the county there for.tlie alleged operation of autos while under the influence of whiskey were Health with too leniently in the opinion of the patrol officer. The Burlington report is somewhat similar to unverified re ports in the Shelby section recently. Officers here said they had heard that the patrol lieutenant Ui charge of this ter ritory was thinking of moving the hi^^ay patrolman away from Shelby because he was unable to get convictions in the local court, The report was never confirmed or denied and the patrolman is still here. Local officers in discussing the matter were of the opinion that the acquittal of a defend ant charged with drunken driving had disgruntled the pa trol officer. They recall that the particular case ended in a mistrial twice before a jury and that in the third trial a jury returned the not guilty verdict after long deliberation. Two mistrials and long deliberation a third time would in dicate that it was to a certain extent a questionable matter. This paper does not believe that any court official here has “it in for” any officers or any group of officers to the ex tent that he would sidetrack the course of justice. Certain ly a jury of citizens would take no such step. The inside of the Altflhance matter we do not know’, but we doubt if there is a court in the State that would intentionally work against the law enforcement efforts of any officer. But that is neither here nor there; it is the sworn duty of an ! officer to stay on the job. Naturally an officer hopes to get a conviction when hq makes an arrest and is disappoint ed if he fails, but there are misses in all garAes and one or two failures to get convictions does not warrant an officer in throwing up his hands and howling his disgust. If all officers acted in such a manner, the society that exists by law and law enforcement would soon crumble. What is more, complaint of a lack of cooperation may be resented by the people, particularly when the acquittals come from a jury of citizens, for, after all, the people are the law. If they free a man of a charge, it is no fault of the officer who has done what he considered his duty in making an arrest and in most instances, we believe, he should not take it as a personal blow. The patrol, we add in all fairness, has done a good job and is continuing the work. It still has a great task ahead of it in helping to decrease the shocking num ber of highway fatalities, and in doing so members of the patrol will, in our opinion, have the hearty cooperation of the law-abiding people. They cannot get a Conviction every time, and all veteran officers can tell them that they have long since learned that such is impossible, but they can keep the work up, knowing that even juries and courts make mis takes.
