A contemporary describes an ideal husband as one who
never puses a mail box without feeling in his pocket for

Shelby’s first contested divorce suit ended in a mistrial,
which may or may not tend to slow up the reputation the
city is getting as a home-State Reno.
Gloria Swanson is the mother of another daughter.
Now if she doesn’t change husbands before the little miss
gets well acquainted with her dad.

Shop talk, but why not? A Shelby firm made an an
nouncement in Monday’s Star of an event at the firm’s
place erf business and in a period of two hours Wednesday
over #00 people visited the exhibition.
The death list continues to add the names of men who
played en important role in the upbuilding of Cleveland
county, tHa latest being that of Val Thomasson, a man whose
many friends bespeak the high regard in which he was held.
The eoat of operating the schools of North Carolina has
bsen cut four million dollars by the economy plan put in by
tiie Gardner legislature, and that is an item with consider
able pleasure attached for the average citizen who believed
that it could be done by buckling down despite the few howls
that are always to be anticipated in such matters.
I
The announcement that the three uptown churches of
Shelby trill unite in observance of two weeks of prayer dur
ing tie year ahead heralds a spirit of cooperation and union
deserving' of commendation. The advance announcement
serves the purpose, too, of eliminating what other activities
might have been booked for the week, thus giving the church
organizations the right-of-way for the week in November
*.r.d again in February.
SENATOR CAM’S JOB
THE WORLD WAR VETERANS seem to have Senator
Cameron Morrison in a right ticklish place. On one
tide Henry Stevens, national commander of the American
Legion and a Tar Heel, expresses opposition to paying the
veterana’ bonus now, while on the other side many veterans
snd officials, Including the full strength of the Shelby post,
are ready to do battle for immediate payment of the bonus.
It is a pretty good wager, however, Morrison supporters will
tell you, that Senator Cam, experienced in diplomatic i’rank
uess, will manage to extricate himself with little injury to
himself.
A BOOSTING OPPORTUNITY
IT IS DEFINITELY CERTAIN now that Chas. A. Jonas will
not be confirmed as district attorney for this Federal
court district. With the office vacant and an appointment
to be made aoon the opportunity is at hand for Cleveland
county to lend what influence it may have in forwarding the
appointment of a native son, Fred D. Hamrick, of Ruther
fardton. The office will be tilled by a Republican; there is
no getting around that. Such being the case, why shouldn’t
cka combined influence of this couniy. Democratic and Re
publican, go to a native son? His ability and legal training
and experience fit him for the office. It is not an out-and
out partisan matter and the proper support should give the
Rutherford attorney the appointment
WIN PEOPLE'S RESPECT
IT S DOLLARS to dougmits that the Cleveland county com
missioners have heard by now enough talk from the
people to realign that they did themselves proud in slashing
the salaries of county offices within their jurisdiction, and
recommending, at the same time, that the incoming board
make the reduction general.
Several of the candidates for county offices, men who
uopo to occupy the offices at the reduced salaries, have al
"cady given public, expression to their approval of the move.
& rhat Will not lose them any votes.
Ic fact, it is our opinion, after hearing the reaction from
scores of citizens, that the present office-holders, the pros
pective office-holders and the entire Democratic organiza
tion stands considerably higher in the respect of the public
and the June primary and the fall election will show it.
HE SHOULD BE HEARD
CLEVELAND COUNTY citizens will on Monday night have
the opportunity of hearing one of North Carolina’s most
pereuaeive orators when John C. B. Ehringhaus, one of the
three candidates for governor, makes his first formal cam
paign speech in the county. Some citizens may have already
decided to vote fdr Mr. Ehringhaus or for one of his oppon
ents. Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Fountain, but despite that it
should be worthwhile to hear the Elizabeth City man. It is
a year ahd a period in which voters are desirous of knowing
about the various candidates and what they stand for
A
than has been the case in many years. For that reason it
will pay all voters to hear the candidates express themselves
at every opportunity. What’s more, those who hear Mr.
Ehringhaus, and many will, we believe, are not likely to be
disappointed, because, there are few more eloquent and pleas
ing talkers in the State. He deserves a large and attentive
audience, too, because of his long record of sendee to the
party, no matter if some of those who attend prefer to sup
port one of the other candidates.
THE FIGHT IS ON »
THE GIANTS OF the motor world, as The Monroe Journal
says, are grappling for the leadership.
Not for the leadership in putting out and selling swanky,
high-priced motors, but for the leadership in the low-price
field.
Not so many years ago the big motor firms were vieing
with each other in making and boosting handsome high-pric
ed automobiles. It is a different fight now, a battle appro
priate to the times. The new models in the motor world, it
should be said in fairness, are handsome, too, perhaps more
handsome and at the same time more serviceable than ever
before. But the makers have realized that there are far
more people of moderate circumstances than there are weal
thy people, particularly just now'. As a result Ford, General
Motors and Chrysler, giants all in the motor world, are mak
ing their big appeal to the pocketbook.
SHOULD BE OF VALUE
AFTER CONSIDERABLE work to get the movement prop
erly sold, the Red Cross first-aid school is to be con
ducted in Shelby. Jn the opinion of The Star the school, to
be held May 2-13, will be one of the most beneficial and
worthwhile movements of the type ever put over in Shelby.
Selected employes -from textile mills and industrial plants,
city firemen. Boy Scouts and others will take the course.
Tell Us not that it will not be of great benefit to have these
people instructed in first-aid treatment and life-saving meth
ods. After completing the course, given practically gratis
by the Red Cross, the students will return to their respect
ive plants and organizations and instruct their fellow work
ers in Red Cross methods. Thus the seriousness of many
injuries and the death rate should be considerably reduced
in the years to come. It is a matter of getting that import
ant safety-first precaution at almost no cost.
EVEN MAKING GLASS PROFANE
CHECK ANOTHER up against the Hoover regime.
Don Wharton, native North Carolina newspaperman,
writing an article in Outlook on the veteran senator of Vir
ginia, Carter Glass, has the following to say:
“Glass does not admit that he is getting old. He is
still riled when anyone offers an arm on crossing a
street. He is still full of energy .... The same old
Glass. Aral yet there is one change. For a quarter of
a century it was common knowledge that Glass never
used a stronger word than his quaint ‘dab-bum’. In the
last three years, in the three years of Hoover, he has
taken to saying ‘damn”'.
From "dad-bum’’—or should it be “dad-gum'”’—in three
years of a “full-dinner-pail prosperity." The Elizabeth City
Advance adds: “And so, we fear, have many, other people.”
Which, it seems, is comment enough for the reader to draw
his own deductions.
PUNCH IN A CARTOON
AN EDITORIAL CARTOON appeared recently in one of the
large newspapers of the East told its story with more
punch than any cartoon we have seen recently.
The ecene was that of a see-saw. All of you, young and
old, know what a see-saw is. On one end of the plank, the
end weighted to the ground, was a figure, a big hefty, over
grown figure, representng the cost of government. On the
other end of the plank, high in the air, was an emaciated,
lightweight figure representing income that should offset,
balance or see-saw the governmental cost. The light figure,
of course, was not pulling down the load. In the background
was a figure, representing congress, digging into the already
empty pockets of a tax-payer trying to get more money with
which to balance the see-saw by placing it on the income
side. Under the cartoon was one line, a question: “Why not
try cutting some weight off the other side?” Of the figure
termed government overhead.
It every tax-payer could see that eauoon and if every
congressman and senator could hear those tax-payers ask.
“and why not?" something would happen—something that
should happen.
