Johnny Crowell, one of the south's greatest and most daring exhibition pilots, and nationally known for his aerial stunts, will bring his power ful plane here for two performances Saturday and Sunday. He will fly from the Byers airport on the Pat terson Springs road, which is a new location about three miles south of the square. Johnny is holder of every type of aircraft license, and is recognized and internationally famous for his hands-off stunt flying, being the only man in the world to ever fly a ship with hi6 hands tied above his head. This may be the last opportunity for Shelby people to witness such skill and daring, as this kind of fly ing is soon to be eliminated by the Department of Commerce. There will be a surprise stunt that he has not divulged, but one of his feature stunts will be rolling the ship on it's back and flying a con siderable distance. Then he will stall the ship completely and fall into an upside down tailspin. the most ha zardous position a ship can get into. After a few turns, if the plane should fail to come out the spin, Johnny perhaps will use a “silk um brella" to land, but this is not on the program, and is not. anticipated. Candidates Must File Their Expense Acct. It is the law that candidates must file statements of campaign expen ditures with the clerk of the court of their respective counties.

Education | Observer Editor Talks To Graduates Compares Teachers’ Pav To Salaries Of Chauffeurs And Slreet .s weepers. Discussing education and the dangers that confront it in North Carolina, Dr. Julian Miller, asso ciate editor of The Charlotte Ob server, addressed members of the senior class at the high school last night. Tire occasfon was the annual com mencement address to the senior class, and Dr. Miller's theme was particularly fitting. He was introduced Dy Clyde R. Hoey, who briefly reviewed the ca reer of the speaker, describing him as “conservative without being a stand-patter, and a progressive without being a radical." Asks Square Deal With the educational program in i North Carolina as his subject. Dr Miller declared that “the time has come in our state when we must (renew the educational interest and stem the backward tide. The teach ing force, which has been so shame lessly treated, must get a square j deal.” " ,. , Tlie school teachers are cer tainly worth more to North Caro lina than tlie colored women who hoist the elevators at Raleigh; than the keeper of the executive grounds or the chauffeur of the governor, who draw one-third more than the best school teacher; than the as sistant drivers of sanitary trucks in Charlotte who get much more than teachers.” Recalls Aycock "... It is up to statesmanship to take education and return it to the higher favor and excellence which it deserves. Governor Aycock has never been more appreciated . . . . than at this hour when the vital educational practices are lag ging.” Dr. Miller concluded his address with the following statement to the members of the senipr class' 1. “If education is to be pitched upon a price tag, it is best to stop in your tracks and not injure your selves by going farther. Price mark ed graduates, teachers and public sentiment produce a dollar mark ed America. 2. “If education has not inspired in you ... a high philosophy of life, let's quit tonight. The world Is too full of splendidly educated people, without a moral aspect of life. The motto of young America today seems to be "What's the use’, and parents are responsible for it. Spiritual Emphasis 3. “If education fails to lay in your minds a spiritual emphasis, let’s call it a day.” Quoting Aristotle, Dr. Miller con cluded the address with “ "A man’s body and a man's mind are the chariot horses, but the soul is the driver.’ Let's go out into a world waiting for leadership.’’ The speech was one of the most inspiring delivered to a Shelby high school graduating class in recent years, and left the students, as well as the audience, fully conscious of the dilemna facing education in North Carolina today. Tonight, at eight o'clock, the fin al graduation exercises will be held j at the high school ,at which time the seniors will make their talks on ‘ “Problems we must help solve.” ] Also, diplomas, honors and awards ( will be made at this program. , and duty as a taxpayer and a citi- i zen. 1 “This would aid those operating 1 the local government. for they would be able to take instant ad- | vantage of public expressions of ap proval or disapproval.

It is proposed that merchants and their employes agree to park their cars elsewhere than in front of retails establishments. Other business and professional men who do not use their cars often will o asked to co-operatc v ith merchants in this plan. By this voluntary method of taking care of the park ing congestion it is believed spaces in the retail district will be kept open, thus eliminating the neces sity of double parking which has oecotne a real problem, particular ly on Saturdays. A petition to tx1 signed * v ih>> <* • areeins In ;yHoe ill. ;r t .■ l-.irk "I 'tore.-, in alley', and on I'm ii streets will likely be circulated by a merchant* committee within the 1 next tew days and it is thought practically everybody will agree.
