therefore, do me no service at all
when they harass him or" get in the

'IlioniasNon and the committee

school system . may have a fine, upn
fate athletic field conveniently
be/* led, at a total net cost of little
i'. nothing.
Both the town council and school
Ward have at recent meetings enbused
tho -plan to build a new and
much-needed stadium, .with some of
ite funils to come -from sale of land
row embodied in the present plant,
\ travesty it there ever was one.

at decent figures for the sellers and

The Town of Kings Mountain al
feady holds options ou all the lands
uljacent to the Duke power sub*
station,, and this property t?.rms a
aaiural bowl, easily adaptable to
'raxisforinuUoii into a modern, well
-Myuipped stadium, suitable for both
Sarebull and football.
The remainder of the necessary
adding costs would come from the
Public Works Administration or
seme other government agency. Negotiations
for an 'appropriation are
iready underway and a WPA engl
awr has visited Kings Miuntain to
e* the site of the proposed stadium.
The HKRALaD heartily endorses
tin movement for a new stadium to
enlace the present inadequate field
for the present athletic field not ony
contains too little seating faclllrfcr,
but la Too far from the central
wtiool system- and the ceuter of the

School children, who make up a
*orge part of the attendance at attaVtic
contests, must either walk or
' a hkH'-mile or more to see
Jlfcjse games and cross two danger

Not only would this hazard be e
i.-niiiated, hut the new stadium
would be laid out Into a fine playing
f>e?d worthy of any town of compar
?bU size in the state.
With the prospective cost rela
lively small and due to the urgent
seed for a decent, centrally-located

, THE MEANING OF DEMOCRACY
Today this country stands unified
devoted to the proposition that here
if nowhere else in the world, de
inocracy shall he preeerved and
made secure. And
the people are coining to realize
that the preservation of Ihe
democratic system Involves more
than merely spending billions for
military weapons, important as that
Is. The preservation of democracy
means that we must agata analyze
the meaning of democracy ? and
again return to those principles on
which the nation was founded.
Those principles are simple and
basic. Certain powers were given to
government ? the power o'ver currency.
over national defei^e, over
foreign policy, and so on. The balance
of powers wer6 reserved to the
people. The founders realized that
iroverntnent is a nnnjimitiu>o? ?
that all prodlctlon and creation
must come from the individual. And
they realized that strict limitation
of the activities of governthent was
necessary if freedom was to live.
In recent yeara we have been
drifting away from true democratic
government. We have put government
into business. We have all but
destroyed the rights ctf the states.
We haye gone a long way toward
th emlnous theory that government
owes everyone a living. We have de
stroyed local independence, local
pride, local snlf-eutriclenof. We "have
become a nation of bagga^, feeding
