In your home-town paper. When your heme was invaded by a bltie^eyed girl, or a bounefng boy. to whom dtid yru immediately gtve details about the titae of arrival, sex and weight? The editor of the home paper. In after years, when some young fellow floe* (be blue-eyed girl to a home of his own. or the boy, now a man, was gfveo a (partnership In your business, to whom did you tell the n^ws ? which once more meant much to you andi so little to everyone else? To this same editor of | that same home-town paper. And when trouble invadee yonr home, and you add to your earthly possession that desolate bit of real estate In the cemetery, and somehow t'he sun doesn't seem to shine as brlgh-tly aa it did, and there's a flutter 'of crepe on the front-door, and the chair that has been beside you for years is vacant ? when this happens, who la it that makes it hts business to "write up" the obituary?!

And talking about tlephones, I notice Where other towns are having the dial systems installed. I hope telephone customers In Kings Mountain will never let that change be made here. It just would not seem right to have to ring your own number, especial I when you are not on the payroll of the telephone company. And another thing I still like to hear that feminine voice say, "Number Please." And just think how many of those "Number Please" girls will be out of a job. Washington and Lincoln By RAYMOND PITCAIRN Again the American people celebrate, this February, the anniversaries of our two greatest Presidents. Again we refresh the national spirit of freedom, unity and patriotism by honoring the memory of George Wash Ington and Abraham Lincoln. For these are the men whose lives did most to create and preserve our Nation. These are the men who gave lasting reality to the conviction that all men are created equal and that government ol the peop.c. by the people and lor the oeople should not perish from the earth. These are the men who could thrust aside oners of longer terms or greater power in their determination that democracy should endure; vfoo could live as well as speak the noble Ideal of government administered "with malice toward none; with charity for all." These are the men who urged; "To the support of the Constitution let every . American pledge hie Ufa, his property and his sacred boner;" and instated: "Let there be no change by usurpation." These are men to whom strength was a commitment to straightforwardness; to whom patriotism transcended both party and ambition; whose demand was "a standard to which the wise attd honest can repair." These are men who bsHevsd ''that the preservation d liberty and the destiny dt ear government should be "entrusted to the hands of the American people," and who could fling the challenge: "Is there any better or equal hope In the worldT" America at this time can welcome a re-baptism in the clear springs of patriotic memory that rise from these two anniversaries. Our objective, as a people. has not changed with the years. It Is still to preserve individual liberty, to strengthen national unity, to reject all attempts that would array group norm!nnt. orfriim flnH tn vo?V in effective concord, for the greater happiness and Increased well-being of our Nation and all her people. And by the steps and the spirit with which oar leaders, as well as evr people, approach thai objective, may he judged the sincerity of the tribute offered oar two Greet National Heroes. ?-> ,-%?
