Jeffress Writes On
Shelby To Grover
Proposed Highway
Says Funds Must Be
Federal
la Investigating Dangerous Ap
proach To Buffalo Bridge
Where * Were Killed.
The Star recently wrote to Hon.
E. B. Jeffress, slate highway chair
man urging that the Shelby-G rover
road be built, as promised at an early
date and also that the dangerous
approach be eliminated at the Buf
falo bridge where two were killed a
week ago Sunday and two others
hurt on the following morning.
Mr. Jeffress holds but some en
couragement about, the Grover road
being built, but says the funds must
come from the federal government
and says the Immediate attention
will be given to the situation at the
Buffalo mill.
Awaits Park Highway
“Things are moving more rapid
ly In Washington now and I am
hopeful that they will eventuate in
un additional appropriation for
highways. If you have noted the
costs at our recent lettings you will
find how fast prices arc going up
and tl naturally takes more money
to do a Job. Our commission has
gone slowly In committing because
we have no latitude of state funds
to fill up the gap. We have to de
pend on federal funds.
“There art; two things that are go
ing to help the situation. One. the
proposal to construct, the Park-to
Park highway, which from yester
day's report seems assured. Tills
may enable us to transfer certain
mountain roads to the new route,
but It will be a few weeks before this
can be determined. The other Is the
large amount of funds to be allot
ted under the C. W. A program and |
It will be Monday or later before I
know about this."
A meeting of business men was
recently held at Earl at which the
Shelby-Orover road project was
discussed and a delegation plans to
go to Raleigh as soon as an en

Dr. Julian Miller!
Kiwanis Speaker|
125 Guests Are Present At Annual
Indies Night Program: Per
sonal Integrity.
Dr. Julian Miller, guest speaker
before the annual ladles night pro
gram of the Kiwanis club at the
Hotel Charles Friday night made a
plea for personal Integrity and edu
cation as methods by which this
country will get out of its “much
and mire.” Dr Miller is editorial
writer on the Charlotte Observer
“You can't take a holiday with
childhood Children won't wait '
said Dr. Miller as he urged educa
t!on as a means of uplift for civi
lization. He pointed out that thirty
per cent of the men in the World
war draft could not read and write
and that forty eight per cent could
not pass the mental and physical
test applied to them for entrance
into the army. “We will never Ret
ourselves out of this situation our
country finds Itself In today if we
trust ours elves to the uneducated."
"All the imaginable wealth that
has been lost does not compare to
the greatest default of all, the loss
of personal character and common
morality. Tall men have fallen to
the earth like burnt-out stars. Doz
ens of them In America have fall
en from high places into distrust
and disrepute. What we need is
men who can stand up under
crushing misfortune," he added.
Music and a playlet by members
of the Community Players were al
so features of the program. Ench
lady guet received a vanity case as
a souvenir while three dozen.prizes
given by Kiwanis members and
others were distributed.
