NO PROFITEERING
In wplte of the fact that business
in many Industries is booming and j
production climbs steadily to tieWkM
peaks, industry Is not getting rich-'
from the billions of dollars that are
being turned Into weapons.
Such is the conclusion that must
be drawn front a recent survey of
initial defense contracts placed by
t.r.e Army a.:.d Navy. According to
it, uiativ companies are recelvng a

than tliey ordinarily receive,
on private ones. The average return"
<n material orders was found to be

Here and There .
Haywood E. Lynch)
______
For iome real fun, readers
of Here and There are Invited
to motor to Gaatonia tomorrow
evening for the annual LionsC'lub
Baseball game. .Those who
attended the game last year
still remember some fancy playing
of Tom Fulton. Carl id'
Jimmy Burns, Robert - Miller,
Coach Fulkerson, Myron Rhyne
and others, so be on hand for
this big garni in which, anything
is liable to happen.
Even with the extremely hot
weather of the last few days I
sfill say I much prefer it to the
freezing cold weather _ of midwinter.
I collected a bill from the
Cole' Bros. Circus, last Friday
when it played Gastonia. which
was two years old. I felt riaht
proud of myself collecting a bill
from a traveling .show that was
two years old. Needless to say,
! while I was 6ver there I went
in and saw the show. Jack
Dempsey was in the box office
and I got a good look at him.
Charlie Goforth's residence on
on West Mountain Street is
building up quite a reputation as
a "Honeymoon Home." Dick
Tate and his bride moved in
after their wedding, then Holland
Dixon and his wife moved
in immediately after their wedding,
and next on the list of
honeymooners were Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Winchester, and
now Bride and Groom Harol^l
Coggins are living in the "Love
Nest." There has been some
talk of a party with all the coupies
present, back at the scene
of their "First Love."
Tom Hudspeth, who. has quite
..n assortment of fruit trees,
vines, chickens, turkeys, flowers
and vegetables arou'nd his
home, is very proud of his secr
i crop of grapes on the same
vines.
'We all know the name Qf one
of the senators from Montana,
but I'll bet not very many know
the name of the other one.
Add to your list-of those you
wm wmi 10 qc reai nice to
from novo on: Your Service
Station Operator.
It's fine for boya and glrla to
be able to go off to college, but
it'a also quite a drain on the
family pocket book. One child
at a time in college runa into
cash money, but when you have
two or three at one time It's
like the national budget, so
Here and There wishes to* congratulate
and at the same time
sympathize with the following
ing parents who have two children
away at school this year:
,lf^r.11a/?d tfefe'tdr/'Mr.1
and Mr*. P. D. Herndon, Rev.
and Mrs. P. D Patrick, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles .Thomasson, Mrs.
Eloise Nickels, Mr. and Mrs.
Bright Ratterree, Mrs. Bessie
Gantt, Or. and Mrs. L. P. Baker,
Mr. and Mrs. Gus Kiser, Mr.
Mrs. Troy Carpenter, Mr. and
Mrs. Oliver Hayes, and Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Mauney and Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Plonk who
have three each.
I wonder what Charlie and
Ruth Thomasson are going to
do when it gets too cold to sit
out in the front yard.
a
I bumped into Lawyer Davis
In the Draft Board Office Wednesday
afternoon. He must have
read what I had in this column
some time back about the nonexistence
of a draft up there be
cause he was dressed in a white
linen suit, ready for hot weather.
Harold Hunntcutt stopped by
the office last night to tell me
that he was now sole owner and
proprietor of Hawk Haven,
Kings Mountain's grow i na airport.
