T “Where’s Blank?” he asked naming the managing editor. “Off on one of those periodical tears of his,” answered the assist ant. “Where’s the city-editor?” “Pied—down in Andy Horn’s.” “I didn't see the make-up editor as I came through the compos ing- room. What’s become of him?” . “He’s in a Turkish bath over in Brooklyn getting a bun boiled out of him.” The proprietor dropped into a chair, shaking his head sadly. “Well,” he said, “for a person who never touches a drop I seem to suffer more from the effects of drunkenness than any other man in this town.” U»rtfM Nm Tmtmtm. la*.} HERALD HAS DICTIONARY The Herald has received a Webster's Unabridged Diction ary.

ON CURES FOR COLDS On meeting a friend in the street, and upon being asked the inevita ble “How do you do?’’ I immediately say, ‘ ’Just fine, thank you", and ] hurry on, holding my breath all the ! lime for fear that a sneeze may be tray the fact that I have a cold. (A cold, of course, calls for the i friend's remedy for "immediate re lief and positive cure.’’) And on finally finding myself out of sight of the would-be friend just mentioned, I joyously sneeze into the face of my next door neighbor, who exclaims, terrified, "Why, my dear, you have a cold!" (I now have just what I've been dodging all after noon!) My neighbor then goes into! detail about the prescription her mother always gave her and her sis- ! ter. Thus, we come into sight of our ; humble abodes, and I politely de cline her invitation to join her for a few minutes while she writes down her prescription for me. 1 promptly assure her that I remember it and will certainly try it. Eagerly l enter my house, know ing that no cold remedies will greet me there! But, alas, the radio proud ly shouts to me: “Don't cough your head off! Ask for .’’ By this time I have hastily thrown my bundles on the nearest chair, rushed to the radio and quite rudely turned the dial to the nearest station. I am now reminded of the old adage, “When it rains, it pours”, for I am greeted with another form of cold cure. Instead of the recent remedy, I am told to gargle with -. The interesting advertisement continues to inform us that "Clini cal *f.periments on actual people show value of antiseptic treatment in controlling colds. Medical super visors selected large numbers of peo ple and divided them into two groups. One group gargled with-. The other did not. In a majority of the tests those who gargled with - twice a day, or oftener, caught fewer colds than "non-garglers.” Also we learn that when the faithful garglers did finally catch co,ds, they were extremely mild and, of course, of very short duration! On turning to my favorite maga zine for enjoyment, I am Immediate ly presented with the plan by whicn the world-famous Dionne qulntup '.tits are guarded trom colds. Strange to say, they didn't use the above praised gargle! Instead, they were given correct diet, plenty of fresh air without drafts, proper clothing and, in general, given such care as to make catching colds practically impossible. I am wondering if Mr. Coffee Nerves would mind moving over to the opposite page and changing his name to Mr.- well, some thing to do with colds. He seenia to have gained national fame by his coffee adventures; and I am sure his cold ads would also receive verbal praise of thousands, especially since he is always defeated. While searching for a clean hand kerchief, 1 am reminded of the show er of handkerchiefs we received at what someone has called “the gift season." Why doesn't someone start calling Christmas “the handkerchief season?" On entering the home of my well meaning sister, caretaker of three energetic sons.

Hoey Invades East Raleigh, April 1">—Making his first campaign into Eastern North Caroli na since he announced nis candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor, Clyde Hey last week “took off his gloves” in a vigorous defense of the North Carolina Democratic or sanitation from the attack launched by “Ralph McDonald of Illinois.’ The candidate spoke to ‘excellent crowds’ in Greenville, New Bern, Fayetteville, Dunn and Lillington, then jumped west to make two speeches in Surry County. “The charge nns been made that the Democratic party is machine cor. trolled," said Mr, Hoey in his sever al speeches in the East, "it is an old charge. The Republicans have been making it for 30 years, but it is new to hear this line of attack from a man seeking the namination for Gov ernor of the party he attacks, ' l ae only f .cuae for McDonald's tactics is that he knows neither the party nor this State, in which he has lived but a few years. Perhaps he got North Carolina politics mixed up with the politics played in hs native State, Illinois, where Big Bill Thomp son's Republican machine held sway so long. "All that Gilliam Grissom, the Re publican nominee for Governor needs to do is to lake the speech be ing delivered by McDonald, change a tew words and use it during the fall campaign. “I venture to predict that whatev er the outcome of tue primary, Me Donald’s speech will he the text cf the Republican campaign before the election. “But whether delivered by Mellon aid or Grissom, the charge of 'ma chine control’ is easy to answer. We Democrats have been answering it ever since we ousted the Republican ;15 yars ago. The thing McDonald calls 'machine' is the party organi zation, made up of the men and wo men who vote theDemocratic tick't and wrk for its election, the men and women who believe in the Democra tic party, who every other June choose the candidates whom they bo lieve will best serve the State ami every other November go down the line for the election of the Demount tic ticket. "That organization, or machine if you prefer, has been responsible for the election of the last nine Gover nors of North Carolina. It was re sponsible for the great majority No: th Carolina gave ‘ Franklin Roosevelt in 1932 and it will be responsible for Norqh Carolina's part in the Roose velt victory this fall. I "Yes, I am an organization Demo crat. I believe in organization. I’m proud of my party and what it has done for this State since we took the state government from the Re publicans. No one would claim that every administration has been per fect, that mistakes have not been made, but I challenge McDonald and Grissom to name another State where the party is power has had such a record as ours.” | Mayor J. E. Herndon lias been in . formed by Mr. Broadway, district engineer, lor the State Highway De ' partment, that the road from Kings diouutain to the Gaston County line towards Cherryville will be con structed immediately. The road is to be of tar and gravel. It is about five miles to the Gaston County line from Kings Mountain. It is hoped and thought bv those in charge that the road will soon be completed to the present hardsur faced road from Bessemer City to Cherryville. When completed this road will be 9 miles in length. Council Visits Highway Office Four members of the Town Coun cil went to Raleigh to confer wjith State Highway officials aboui the pro)>osed overhead bridge for Kings Mountain. The four who made the trip are as follows: Jim Willis, W. K. Mauney, Joe Neisler and It C. Gold. It was thought by those wh» made the trip that announcemeuit would be made in a few days about this project. The overhead bridge proposition has been hanging undicided for some time. According to the Cleveland Star a compromise was reached last Wednesday. The Shelby paper had the following: The city of Kings Mountain property owners and road of ficials have never gotten toge ther on the grade crossinf elim ination there. At a conference held Wednesday night, progress was made toward a compromise which might be reached if the proposal is approved in Washing ton. When Mayor J, E. Herndon was asked about the compromise he stated to the Herald that he knew' nothing about any compromise that had been made. It is understood that the overhead bridge and highway is to cost when completed $99,000.00. AUTHORITY ON ARTIC WILD LIFE TO BE AT IMPERIAL THEATRE Mr. Earle P. Hammond who was with Wilkins on his Detroit Arctic Expedition, and has for six year* lived with the Eskimo in Alaska and Siberia will make a personal appear ance on the stage at the lmi>eijui Theatre here Monday night and Tuesday afternoon and night of1 next week. Mr. Ha.nmond has played in three motion pictures pertaining to the far Northland. Mr. Hammond, with his, picturesque beard, will have with him his Alaskan Eskimo Dog troupe. The people of Kings Mountain and surrounding community are f.ceed igly fortunate in being able to see and hear Mr. Hammond who is if gifted lecturer on the frozen north. The way they hurl it about, you'd think politicians had never heard of soil conservation. (Opinions Expressed in This Column Are Not Necessarily the Views of This Newspaper.) Washington. — (IPS)Behind clos ed doors and after the usual ollijCe hours, some of the political master minds in Washington are engaging in heated discussions about how to set up a “mistake-preventing’’ agen cy. For months, some administration chiefs, especially those in Congress, have felt there should be a clearing house to handle all matters verging on politics. The trouble was tiiat ev erybody wanted the final say-so, hence they did nothing but talk, a bout it. Hut the fat now is on the fire, and they aretrying to translate talk into action. **** Two mishaps were responsible for the new move. The first occurred be fore the House Ways and Means Committee during hearings on the new corporate surplus tax. Witness after witness told how the tax would penalize stockholders in companies which survived the worst of the de pression only because they had been able to save up for a rainy day. In the first week of the hearing, the only ones to endorse the idl& were government witnesses. Then, suddenly, up popped a new endorser (Cont'd on back page)
