"TVB SCHOOL CAFETERIA THRIVES HERE DUR ING FIRSLJONTH Students, teachers and patrons of the Central School at Kings Moun tain are unanimously well pleased with the apparent success of the new school cafeteria, now In the fourth week of its history. This project is controlled iby the school officials and is run on a non-profit basis, its chief purpose being to supply wholesome hot lunches to the children at a low cost. As manager of this new institution, the school offiiials chose Mrs. W. C. Caveny, who also acts as dietician. The bookkeeping is done by Miss Viola Elam, secretary to the Super intendent. The cafeteria is equipped very similarly to a regular commercial eating place, with enameled white and green counters and tables and chairs or benches to match. The metal trays are slid| along the brass rail as the customers help themselves to the dishes of their choice. The equipment includes a msdera refrigerator, range and ice cream storage cabinet, all electrical and a radio for entertainment. Some of these furnishings were loaned by friends of the school. Hie menu carries an assortment of delicious foods — soups, meats, vegetables, salads, and desserts, a mong them ice cream and cakes. Milk and hot and cold chocolate drinks are supplied by local dairy ., men. Most of these articles are in five cc.Jt units, with special price combinations being offered at cer tain times. A nice lunch may be had at from ten to twenty cents, al though the average is only seven or eight cents. Between 50 and 100 children eat there regularly, and teachers as well, and an occasional parent drops around for lunch. The cafeteria also accommodates exten.._ sion classes meeting here and meet ings of other organizations -by special arrangement. So far the cafeteria has been self supporting, except for the fact that the Parent-Teacher Association aided it in the beginning by dona... ting a fund for dishes and other utensils. The helpers to the mana ger consist chiefly of high srhool girls, who receive their lunches in exchange for their services. This undertaking was from the Start under the personal direction of Srpt. B. N. Barnes, who had for a long time believed that it could be done. He not onl looked after the purchase and installation of the equipment, but in addition stationed himself in the cafeteria every day as an assistant until its smooth op... eration was assured. , i Annual Meet of Boy Scouts in Gastonia Gastonia, Jan. 8—Plans have been perfected for the annual meet ing of the Piedmont Couniil, Boy Scouts of America to be held here Tuesday night, January 15th, at 7 o’clock.

County Agent Ex plains Parity Checks I would like to make a state ment in regard to the payment of the parity checks which will be dis tributed in a few days. We have received a few of these checks and are expecting the balance immedi ately. However, do not come for your check until you receive a card -.3tatingJ that the check is here. Will you please carry out the in structions that are written on this card ? I would like to ask the fullest cooperation of the persons getting 'these checks in distributing the a mount to those who are entitled to part of this parity. All of those who grew cotton as tenants, manag ing share tenants( or any form of a tenant in the year 1934, are due part of this paritq payment. It will be divided according to the pro portionate part that the tenant re ceived in this year’s crop, on the number of acres he had planted in 1934. These checks will be paid to the person to whom the contr et hvas made to. In case of managing share tenants, the check will be di vided and made payable just as th 'rental checks were, in proportion to the division of the crop- The land lord, in other cases, will distribute 'this payment to his tenants and will have a form that each tenant will sign, certifying that they re ceived payment of his parity1 check, either in money or supplies, equipment, etc., in producing the 1934 crop. The landlord will have 30 days after he receives the parity check to have these receipts filled out and returned to this office. Those receiving checks will get full instructions at this office as to ’how to distribute this and the dif ferent forms on which to have the 'receipts signed. I would like to ask that the farmers carry out these instructions as to the division of this parity check correctly, because 'this is a trust fund set-up and the misappropriation of this fund wilt carry severe penalty; and, too, it I. Boyce Falls Dies Wed. December 26th _'l* _ will eliminate the calling into the office before the County Committee the tenant and landlord for settle... ‘ments and probably Court cases. At any. time the office force can help any in instructing as to how co make the division of the parity or any part of it, we shall be very' glad to do so. I have taken a) case here for an example of how to divide the pari ty- We are using John Doe as the landlord of this farm. We will say that he was allowed 50 acres of cotton to plant on his farm this year. Jim Doe, a tenant, hal 10 acres and gets 3-4 or this crop. Bob Doe, another tenant, has 20 acres planted and gets 1-2 of this crop. The total amount of the pari ty check is $100.00. First find out how much this is per acre—divide the number of acres that were al lowed to be planted by $100 which will be $2 00 per acre in this case. Jim Doe, have 10 acres planted, at $2 per acre this would be $20 tfor the parity op| this 10 acres. He Sets 3-4 of this crop; therefore, he •would get 3-4 of this $20, which would be $15 and the landlord $5. Bob Doe, having 20 acres to cot ton, at $20 per acre this would be $40. He gets 1-2 of this crop, therefore, he gets $2C| for parity and the landlord gets $20. John Doe, the landlord, has 20 acres planted where neither of the tenants gets a part. At $2 oer acre, he would receive $40 of this parity on this land. iAdd these amounts: Jim Doe $15 ■Bob Doe $20, and John Doe $G5; and this makes the $100 parity pay ment for the farm. , Baxter Puyseur has returned to the People's Bible School in Greens :>oio -af er ?:>->:•«!;? <■ he Christmas Ali.J Early Wednesday morning, De cember 26th, I.

Mr. Falls lived for 84 years in the same immediate community. He saw Kings Mountain grow from a country store near his father’s farm to the present active business cen ter. Anti all through his active citi zenship, Mr. Falls was identified with integrity and uprightness. This honored citizen was always a loyal servant of the Lord. He cen tered his interests in his church, Boyce Memorial A. R. Presbyterian. Over a period of 60 years he served as deacon, elder, teacher and super tntendent of the Sabbath School and as» clerk of) the Session for over 30 years. His pastor, in a brief eulogy, characterized the worthy life as one of beauty and beneficence. There was in striking harmony the beauty of tender sweetness and rugged stability. One always knew where he stood in his beneficence. His wife, formerly Miss Margaret Ashe of McConnellsville, S. C., sur vives. Mr. Banks Ashe and family of Beersheba community, York county, have moved to Kings Moun. tain to make their home with Mrs. Falls.

Would Have Child Labor Amend ment Passed Following is an article written in the Ladies Home Companion, by Mrs. W. R. Absher, director of the State-Wide Child Survey, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary regarding the Child Labor Amend ment. Mrs. Absher and the Legion Auxiliary are fighting for the pas sage ^of this Amendment: “LAND OF I'HE FREE” “Now begins what should be the final drive to free the enslaved children and to erase the shame which for over a hundred years has staied this “land of the free-’ “Passed by Congress ten years ago, endorsed by all ’political par ties, supported by the most enlight ened organizations in the country, the Federal Child Labor Amend ment has so far been ratified by twenty states. Sixteen more are needed before it becomes law. “This year the legislatures of 24 states which have not ratified will meet in regular session. All but two of these convene in January. The fight is on. “Since the first child labor law of any kind, in 1813, the wretched bus iness has been left for a weary cen tury to the erratic mercies of state legislation, while generation after generation of boys and girls have been stunted, injured, cheated of play and health and schooling. The states have shown that they cannot be trusted to protect children who are helpless otherwise against the tyrnanny of adults- Even today there are nine states where child., ren under fourteen work in factori es There are eight states where chil dren under sixteen work as long as eleven hours a day. Eleven states allow children under sixteen to be worked as late as eight p. m. “But/ someone exclaims, “we thought we celebrated over a year agon the abolition of child labor, un der the NRA codes!” True. Wjhen it came to be a{ matter of finding jobs for men and women, of pro . tecting grown-ups against the cheap competition of boys and girls, child labor was stopped with an almost indecent hurry! But the codes are only temporary. When there is a scramble for cheap help again, you may be sure that the enslavement of children will begin again. The federal amendment must be passed this year. I “The readers of the Companion may well be the deciding influence in this final great effort. There fore we list here the legislatures which meet this year. Resolutions for ratification! of the amendment will be before every one of these ieg.islatures: Alabama, Connecti cut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Odaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Car olina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas Utah, Vermont and Yyoming. “If you lice in one of the above states, begin now. Write or go to see the legislators from your dis trict. Get your club to pass resolu tions demanding ratification. Help to arrange public meetings, discus sions, publicity. Write to your news papers, your clergyman, to every one you know who can1 influtnce public opinion.' Pon’t be reluctant or shy about bringing every legitimate pressure to bear. The opposition, in spired by selfish interests, is utter ly without consciende. It’s attacks have been lies. Its methods have been devious. Honest devoted tire less energy put forth by the women of America will win at last and somewhat redeem our disgrace by setting frte .'he children to tomor... i row.” FIRST NATIONAL At ELECTS OFFICERS IN ANNUAL MEETING The annual shareholders meeting of the First National Bank was held in the director’s room of the Bank Tuesday afternoon.
