Recreation Projects Asked For Ten Cleveland Points Application has been sent to headquarters of the Relief ad ministration in Raleigh for a recreation project which, If ap proved, will provide supervised play for children, particularly In the Shelby and Kings Moun tain areas. This project was decided upon at a meeting held yesterday in the office of Mrs. Bep Go forth, head case worker for the FERA office, and attended by Miss Ruth Catlin, district sup ervisor, B. N.

C. Goes Wet Crots-City Highway la Road To Liquor Shelby Hopes tt Won't Mean Motor cade Of Drinkers And Wonders Whst Will Happen. Dry Cleveland county, which up held prohibition with a 7,000 ma jority two years ago, a watte with more curiosity than eagerness, word from South Carolina, Just six miles sway, that It's just a few miles be tween drinks. South Carolina goes wet Monday morning. Highway 18 goea through Shelby straight to rite Gaffney liquor stores. Whether this elreum stance will mean a celebration of liquor-laden oars through—and maybe from—the county Is some thing that neither propheta nor members of the legislature can tell you. • Cleveland Pussled. Anyway, so far as could bs team ed In casual interviews with gentry very much Interested In liquor aup pllcs, Cleveland Itself, la not going to Jump at quaffing a mouthful of warm South Carolina legal nun. On the other hand, the most Interest that haa been displayed here has been evidenced by citlsenry who hope that the coincidence of Shel by's being on a main route to the wet line will not mean too many drinking visitors. County and city officers are frankly pussled about what's expect ed of them, as who wouldn’t bs pussled—for the legislature in that famed night closing session left the state a legacy of legal grotesquertes on the liquor question. Nobody la precisely sure whether state offtocrs should or should not arrest North Carolinians who Journey to sister states and bring back liquor. Eager For Business. •outh Carolina, according to rs porU, Is eager for business, although the rumor that a liquor store was to bs established on the line be tween Gaffney and Shelby turned out to be a dud. 8tUl, city stores will be well stocked and hoping for business. The catch Is that, with federal and state taxes so high, the legsl drink is much more expensive than the beverages dtetlltod under the shadows of North Carolina moun tains. North Carolinians have learn ed to drink oorn, and will be. many liquor-wise observers prediet, very hard to wean away, especially when thew would have to pay more for newer brands under the government stamp. Employment Lags In Shelby Area; N.C. Report Given Kmployment Down rally five Per cent; Hart* Payroll; Caw • it ruction Dp. A report released today by the department of labor In Washington showed that employment In all In dustries except building construc tion has declined as much as 4:6 per cent In North Carolina, and a check-up on several mills and em ployment agencies in Shelby Indi cates that the figure her* will roach the state average. The weekly payroll of several concerns have dropped In accord ance with the employment figure, and quite a number of machines are reported Idle, because of a lack | of orders and a general lull In the early summer trade. Rural Building Reports have It that there is a more than usual amount of build ing being carried on In the county, especially In the Fallston, Toluca, Belwood, Casar sections of the coun ty. Rural building has topped per mits in the towns. Figures for the state Indicates that either the wage scale was low ered during the period, or that part time work caused the total payroll to drop to a greater extent than did the number of men employed. The number of men on the payroll In the state, in 1.387 establishments, was 134,883 during April, and the average weekly payroll for the month was $1,851,479.
