'Special to The Star

and has been a coincidence which |
was noted recently by a teacher
The new gymnasium lias been
completed and is ready for use. It
is not necessary to say that the
students appreciate the opportunity
of having a place for their games
in the winter months when the!
weather furnishes set many badj
breaks. We have waited a long time
for this building. The wait Im
proved worth something in dollars
and cents. The structure has been
built and paid for in cash at tw o-.
thirds the price it would have cost:
three years ago. One large class!
room lias been included in the end
of the building to catch the over
flow of a large enrollment. Another
class room remains unfinished un
til a larger enrollment demands its
.ISP. It will .sene as a warehouse in
the meantime.

Forceful Plea Made To Save Boy
Scout Activities In This Community
Beneficial Work, Always Indiffer

In Shelby.
I By A Scout Leader and Parent (
Scouting in Shelby has been;
"damned with faint praise" and!
paltry contributions. From the be
ginning of the Piedmont council,
scouting in Shelby has been some
thing to be indifferently received
and miserably and hypocritically
supported The attitude has been;
killing to the possibilities of secur
ing scoutmasters. > court of honor!
officials, and committeemen. To be
a scout leader is to be something
of a professional deadbeat whoso
begging is responded to with the
least contribution that will get rid
of the subject. Men who live in fine
homes, drive beautiful cars, belong
to exclusive clubs, etc., give to
scouting the amount of a tanlj ot
gasoline or a ticket to a football
game. Men whose boys enjoy and
receive the benefits of scouting at
home and camp, apparently aie
oblivious to the cost of leadership,
safety, health and housing. Some
one else is being expected to pay
for service for men who otherwise
indulge themselves and their chil
dren to expensive recreational lux

son of E F McKinney, Shelby busi

political talk about town this week
they have been mentioned along
with four others. W. R. Newton, J.

group, however has stated since
that he is not an applicant for the

The office of accountant i* one of
the most important In the county
