Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB The Leaning Tower of Baltimore By IRVIN S. COBB TN BALTIMORE, years ago, there was a shot tower that stood up in the air to a considerable height. Almost at the base of the shot tower a serious-minded German ran a saloon. Eugene Havez, afterwards a New York theatrical man and now in the moving picture business in California, lived in Baltimore when the r x"-JC 1 shot tower stood there. One day Havez and a friend of his found them selves in the vicinity of the shotworks. Both were thirsty and both, as it happened, without funds. Havez had an idea. . He outlined it to his companion and then they entered the saloon “ a„rX},ol.ent Brfniment with each other. 111 bet you anything I’m right,” Havez declared. ’You re wrong," stated his friend stubbornly: “you’re just naturally bound to be wrong.” They lined up at the bar still debating. The German waiting pati ently to serve them became interested. “I’ll show you how game I am," said Havez. “I’ll bet you the diish * m le*Y.e to our friend here to decide it." T/hats a go, said the other man. “Set out the drinks," commanded Havez. The German served them and they drank. “Now, poys,” inquired the saloon man. “vat is dis pet?” "It’s like this,” said Have* edging toward the door, “my mend here bets that when the shot tower falls down it will fall to the north. J say it will fall to the south.” (Amtricaa Newt Features, Ids.) Several Schools Name Faculty Grover and Bethlehem Teachers Named.

There is also talk that an effort may be made to consolidate the Wake Forest medical department with this school and to make the new school, if it is set up, a consoli dation of the two year medical cour ses now- offered both at Chapel Hill and Wake Forest. Not that either school wants this, for both are ex pected to oppose any consolidation unless it becomes apparent that they must either consolidate or be abolish 1 ed.

Announcement has been made that the Cherryville Koad is to be paved only two miles instead of the [ ix and one-half miles to the Gaston County line as had been promised by the Slate Highway Department. Chairman of the State Highway Commission. Capus Way nick, visited this road during the first part of April and announced to Mayor J. K. Herndon and Chairman of the Cleve land Cb*IT“y Board of Commissioners Lester Herndon, thlTt the road would be hardsurfaced to the Gaston coun ty line. Since that time the entire road of 6 Vi miles has been put in cor* dition for the paving, but now the announcement is made that the road is going to be paved only two miles. Property owners along the road, to say the least, are very disappointed by this announcement. They have gone to considerable expense to furn ish top soil to get the road in shape for the paving. Some of the land owners have even bought top-soil to be used. Interested citizens are so upset that they are making an ef fort to find out why the original plans cannot ire carried out and pave the road to the Gaston county line. It is recalled by several that this is not the first time the road had been promised and later withdrawn. About three years ago this road was promised to a delegation of Kings Mountain citizens, but later the State Highway Department decided not to hardsurface it. At this time top-soil was also furnished by the property owners. The road can be hardsurfaced now cheaper than it can later, be cause the road-bed is now in condi tion, and later it will have to be put back in shape again at considerable cost. Rev.

Qgu&hinqfon Snapshots by James Preston (Opinions Expressed in This Column Are Not Necessarily the Views of This Newspaper.) An insidious but very tangible fear is working its way into a lot of Washington minds. It is the belief that World War veterans shortly will demand a bigger share out of the federal grab-bag—and if they do, they will stand a good chance of getting it unless all federal expendi tures are drastically cut. The point is that the federal gov ernment pays pensions to all vets of every war but the last one. Only disabled World War veterans get pensions. Now, with billions being tumped around and the bonus paid without any permanently harmful ef fects yet evident, the World War veterans are beginning to discuss pensions. The fears were made clear by two recent speeches — one by General Frank T. Hines, Veterans Adminis trator, and the other by James E. v’an Zandt, National Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Both warned World War veterans to for (Cont'd on back page) WE INVITE Any new family moving into Kings Mountain to fill out the blank below and receive the KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD 2 Months FREE Name Address
