Now that “Sky Pullmans" are be ing built, likely candidates for the naming Job would be General John son and Gertrude Stein. FOOD FOR THOUGHT We reprint below two paragraphs from an article which appeared in last week’s issue of Carl Goerch’s publication, The State. The article is by Mr. C. T. Wagoner. He makf^; a strong assertion but even at that it is gooil food for thought. A farmer is worth much more to the welfare and prosperity of his country than is the head of some government agency. A laboring man, working with pick' and shovel, is much more valuaMe in the general plan of tilings than is some minor state or government official. A clerk In a five-and ten-cent store has every right to feel superior to the haughty and dignified secretary of some spec lal bureau up In Washington. Not A Producer A man on the government payroll Is not a producer: lie is a consumer in tub strict sense of the word. He lives on what is produced liy the farmer, the laboring man, and the people in other walks of life. Tli.eir raxes keep him up. In other words— harsh as it may sound — a govern ment employee is more or less of a parasite. TIMELY We are reprinting the article below which appeared recently in Charity and Children. This article is very timely as we have an announcement in {his issue of Herald that plans are underway for the building of a new Presbyterian Church for Kings Mountain. WHO BUILT THE CHURCH? l!y Mrs. Leslie Werner Who built the church “We built the Church," said the Laborers. “With our shovels we dug the dirt for the foundation. On our shoulders we carried hods of brick and hods of mortar; on our should ers we have borne the Church.” “We built the Church,’ said the Artisans. “We laid the bricks skill fully into a straight wall, true corner fine and tall. We fitted beams and fastened wires and pipes into their rightful places: with our hands we built the Church. “1 built the Church,” said t.V.ie Superintendent of Works. “1 super vised each step of the construction. 1 measured the proper mixing of the cement. 1 watched the delivery f the bricks, and their laying. I saw that each pipe and each wire was placed correctly at the proper time. I managed the men. that no group impeded the progress of another group: with my eyes 1 watched over it all. 'I buiJt the Churrch.’ •‘1 built the Church,’ said the Con tractor. "! estimated the needs and the cost of each part. I saw that ma terials selected fulfilled the specifi cations for each integral unit. I for warded the money for paying the men and for materials. I furnished the large tools for the construction: with my knowledge of building and of men, I built the Church. “1 built ttie Church." “I built the Church," said the Architect. "With my mind's eye 1 visualized the needs of the building. 1 blended and fitted together the spaces and the rooms required for the many uses- of the church. I fit ted these upon-.the given site. 1 har monized the architecture with the surroundings 1 planned the coloring and the ornamentation of the whole: with my artistic vision l built the Church. "I built , the Church.” “We built the Church,” said the Church Membership.. ‘Twas our growing activities required it. ‘Twas our children’s religious welfare de manded it. Beside the schoolhouse of prestnt day convenience, their need for a a proper House of Worship reached to the faith of our hearts and the strings of our purse. With our enthusiasm we have encouraged and with tht dedication of our weal th we have accomplished the Tends necessary for its erection: with our determination and zeal we have built the Church. “We built the Church." Who built the Church? Amid his Church Membership stands the servant of God. He studi ed to meet their spiritual needs by day, and bore their burdens on hia heart in prayer by night, brought members to repentance. He taught them to pray, to sing, to worship God, to help their fellow men. to HERE and THERE By Haywood E, Lynch In Memory of A. L. HILL Kind—Friendly—Jovial play. He instructed them in the use of (lod's Portion of their income. By example he taught them to live sim ply, that there might be time to wor ship God, and means to build His Church, Who built the Church? Except Jehovah build the House, they labor in vain who build it.—Cen Iral Christian Advocate. \— ADVERTISING — A TIME SAVER The small town merchant who sue ceeds is the one who has what peo ple want and lets them know about it. People are busy today. They will not take time to shop where mer chants insist on keeping their wares and prices a secret. The busy store3 are those who send to their custo mers' living rooms the home news paper containing the stores' adver tisement of products and prices. Ad vertising has become the greatest service in time-saver and money-sav er to the busy housewife. She knows from the advertising where she can buy what she wants at the price she wants to pay. She does her shopping on a third of her original shopping time. (Journal-Transcript, Franklin, N. H.) Church News Presbyterian Church Hev. P. D. Patrick, Pastor 10:00 A. M. Sunday School. 11:00 A. M.

Aroused Citizen Says Kings Mountain Should Have Some Federal Funds OPEN FORUM An open torum for our read ers, but no letter can be pub lished if it exceeds 500 words. No anonymous communications will be accepted. The name of the writer will not be published however, if the author so re quests. A RAW DEAL FOR KINGS MOUNTAIN To The Herald: I am a young citizen of not much community importance but I do get about somewhat. I read and I observe some things and all things make me to wonder. This week 1 was on a little trip. I noticed that Graham and Ashe boro, towns about the size of Kings Mountain had just completed beauti ful new Post Office buildings. I saw ground being broken in Burlington for a new Post Officp. And Burling wouhl appear adequate to t.he needs of the community for years to come. 1 raised the question how? The ans wer was that the mayor of the town and some citizens spent much time in Washington and with government men who had these things in charga in the effort that a good share of Federal money being spent be spent there. In Morganton I saw a beautiful new community building erected at little local cost under the sponsor ship of the. Woman’s Club. I saw a new building a credit to Lin<'-r,’r^ ton just completed for the American Legion. I saw an expensive structure of the same nature going up in Shelby. In several places men and ma chines were at work eliminating grade crossings — a beautiful new project of this kind being completed in Hickory and several others along the way begun. In High Point and Greensboro I saw community park projects which cost thousands of dollars—lakes, pools, drives, landscaping — men still at work. In Charlotte great activity was go ing on at several projects to . bring thousands of government money into the community to put many people to work and all at comparatively lit tle local cost—an airport when they alread had a fair one and a stadium. Back to Kings Mountain 1 saw nothing going on and I know and hear of little effort being exerted. Several months ago there was some talk about a Post Oilice build ing. But now evidently another com inunity is getting our building and this has been lost sight of Around $100,000 I read was appro priated for grade crossing elimina tion .here but because of local indif I ference or something the funds now seem to be lost and evidently anoth er community grabbed the money. The town was offered a park— some thirteen thousand dollars—if it would be accepted and the communi ty show faith by a few additional thousands. That has evidently been lost. Kings Mountain needs these things. It needs new paving. new street developments, sewerage and I water extensions. Kings Mountain needs a new Town Hall. But how great an effort has been made to get these things? Have we been uniting on these projects, preparing them in proper form and following them up to secure our share? The Federal Government is spend ing our money in other communities. Money that will some day be sweat ed out of tbe backs of our labor. When we pay we would like to hare something to show for it. It may not be just whatiwe want but we should have SOMETHING It is late but is it too late? It is not right that Kings Moun tain should lose several hundred thousand dollars of Federal spending which is ours. PARTON’S FUNERAL HOME 208 E. King Street r Phone Day or Night 68 CONSCIENTIOUS EFFORT and our ability to dis charge our duties ethical ly, is bound to bring hon or and respect to our vo cation, and this we are continually striving to accomplish. Mrs. Blankenship 77PED GoUet TKKbsar" Maggie Dudley Fewer Aches and Pains More Health and Pleasure nAIN drags you down—physically, mentals r ly, morally. Why continue to endure it? Try Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for Headache, Neuralgia, Muscular, Rheumatic, Sciatic, and Periodic Pains. They seldom fail. Dr. Milec Anti-Pain Pills are pleasant to take and prompt to act. They do not upset the stomach, cause constipation or leave you with a dull, depressed feeling. Ask your druggist or any of the hundreds of thousands enthusiastic users. Probably you too can find relief. 1 think ail Dr. Miles medicines are wonderful, but Anti-Pain Pills are my favorite. Mrs. Doc Blankenship, Stamford, Texas 1 have used your Anti-Pain Pills only a short time, but they have given me prompt relief. They did for me in a week more than any other medi cine I had taken for a year. Phil Goller, Milwaukee, Wisconsin I am never without Anti-Pain Pills. 1 think they are much better than anything else I have ever used. Sometimes when I am tired and nervous; and feel like I would go under, I take two Anti Pain Pills and in a sort time I feel like a different person. Mrs. S. Tidabach, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania Your Anti-Pain Pills have been used in my home with wonderful results. I recommend them. Maggie Belle Dudley, Vanceboro, N. C. Your Anti-Pain Pills helped me a great deal. I have used them for years. I carry them every where in my purse and always keep than in the house;.' They have saved me a great many sick headaches.
