t
AND SPEAKING of the post of- ,
fleers' conference In Shelby last Moil
day It will be recalled that there
was a high school band contest held j
Monday afternoon .... Kings Moun- 1
ta n's crack h'gli school band won
flirt place, but tUteir picture was
net published until Friday morning
in The Charlotte Observer .... and '
along with it rr story explaining two '
or three things .... seents that tho

fc.-ig. but anyhow the Kings Moun- j
tain folks hedi the- Idea that the Char ,
l-j'tc-band planned to compete and |
..- hen they lost to Kings Mountain, i
!unncunced that they did rr?t compete
... .Pom the Kings (Mountain Her- |
i!d of this week we clip the following
as showing the feeling in Kings
Mountain:
"I haven't seen anyone In n long
tune s?s happy es tho band Vi'ds were
when tbev won 'he cup at Shelby i
Monday. Atvd 1 don't believe that
I've reen anyone as -mad as some of
them were when the worw get. ut
that 'Central High of Charlotte had
nnlornt* flic ^-nnlnRt ThPV fill
lleved fh-"? Cb-rlote had entered,
and that they had beaten the Queen
City .school fairly and squarely. Some i
tlv'ng is definitely wrong. One of the
judges of the contest informed us
tlvt they had competed, as Was
.announced over the public address
system at Shelby. And there it is.
It couldn't be that the Charllttetana
couldn't stand being beaten, even
by .t much better band.'
So that's that.
a * - . ' ,
IT MIGHT BE remarked here thai |
sch aa the above, the failure to <
print that picture of the band until
three or four days after it ought to
have appeared, the policy of Hor- I
nets Poat No. 9 of the American Le- t
gion tn Charlotte, in bringing two (
outside Legion bhseball players to

tinued efforts to keep them there
and make them eligible to play, such 1
things as this have done more to {
counteract j&fayor Ben Douglas' 1
