In which many hands from, many towns and cities took part. We are not surpr.lA cd when we hear of the Kings Moun tain bind winning all sorts of laurels In State competition, but when they go out and meet the best In the South and come back with No. 1 rating. It is time to crow a little. This is one illustration of how valu, yble an advertisement a good, hand is-to a high school.?Oastonia Oatetto. UNSELFISHNESS Unselfishness, even In its smallest acts and manifestations, costs some * sacrifice. Work for others wh'ch costs us nothing Is scarcely worth doing It takes heart Mood to heal hearts. It Is those who sow in tears that shall reap in Joy.

V- - ?* ., CO-OPERATION?THE BAND IAINS AGAIN The Kings Mountain School Band won last wefk in the national contests held in Charlotte The Herald is again happy to record this event in the prize winning history of the band. This winning was not just a "happen-so." ft eanjc about through three equal Important phases. First, hard i work on the part of the band members; second; , the outstanding leadership of the Director. Paul Hend ricks: and third, the co-operation and support of the citizenship of Kings Mountain. The three chains linked together, was a combination that Just could not be outclassed, j It this spirit of co-operation could j he contagious and spread to other j phases of Kings Mountain, we would j have a better town. It takes wholehearted, unselfish co-operation on the part of citizens to accomplish anything worthwhile for the betterment of any community. We venture to say that If the citizens would get behind their town government, and show as much Interest In It as they have In the band, our tax rate, water and liaht rates ernld be reduced, and at the sam$ t'me increase the efficiency of the different departments and receive bttfer service. Co-operation paid dividends for the band, why not put it to work for amore efficient town government. FROM ALONG 'THE AVENUE" IN THE.

Forestry Is Good Use For Idle Land l - i About 6 percent of all farm l,and in North Carolina Is Idle, principally because of erosion and a loss of fertility. R. W. Graeber. forestry ape claist of the State College Extension Service. says that much of the 1,247 r.t'O acres of agricultural' waste in the State can be put to profitable use through forestry. (He urges that farmers devote spare time during the summer and fall months in the preparation of their Idle land for tree planting next Junuary. February and March. A fen brush dams built 4n gullies, cou pled with a diversion ditch to take surface watejr awzty lfr?m gulbees. will stop active erosion. Brush, needs, straw, waste hay, cane ptttvnce, or woods' Utter spread over the bare, raw spots will improve the ground erudition for forestation next winter, he explained-. Graeber pointed out that pine seed in 15 years, to pole stxe In 30 years and wll be good saw timer In 60 years. This may sound to distant for seme farmers, but they should consider their children and future gener atiOns who will have to make a Hvng off the same farm" the forester declared. One thouse nt pine seedlngs. ? rough to plaut an acre, cost 12.00, f>nd then played "Dixie" in front of Die West stadium .... and in another story the reporter- for The Charlotte Observer: "Showiest band to pass The Observer reviewing stand was the natty black-Jacketed nnd oranged-trousered Kings Mountain band, which boasted a high-step pine drum major and an accomplished girl acrobat." DREAMERS What's wrong with our State government? The answer is "Dreamers." At bottom our greatest diciculty Is to find men who recognize in private business that 2 and 2 equals 4, but who In the legislature either forget to add or, forget how to add. The State is committed to every scheme which some dreanieds must over In their sou Violent hours. When -they wake they mistake their dreams for v.sions and regard themselves as crusaders of righteousness. In private lifo we have gumption enough to recognize that we cannot do all the good1 things that may occur to us; we know that we cannot t. uy Packard cars with Ford incomes, we cannot buy $100 suits of cloth os with $15 Incomes; we are even wise enough in private life to know that if we have a Ford income we can't afford a Cadillac 16 cylinder limousine even if we would get by matching it 50-50. But in public life Otir neoml* don't iwivwntT* Ihtnui facts. We act though the State were entirely apart from the tarpayera. Even hard-headed auocessful farmem, when elected to the Legislative fall under the apeU of Columbia and plunge the State riotously in debt ae the moat prodigal of the Golden Spenders.
