flowers is not fragrant to the dead,
hut the living can. fill their nostrils

W. K. Mauney is a big man, not
in stature, but in the things that
really make a man great. He is a
busy man., yet he takes time to render
service to his community, his
church, his fellowmnn.
He is a real father, and is devoted
to his five sons. He is happy
that three of Ills sons are away
from home at college, yet he is sad
that they are not stiil little boys
that can run in and out of the
house, and be there to greet him af

A NEWSPAPERMAN'S DREAM
Dream* do co 'true., we know because
we were to) the middle of one
yesterday morning in the Shelby
Star'* new plant. Publisher Dee
Weathers ha* dreamed for years of
a building thut would be complete
in every respect. and now that
dream has developed into a reality.
. . ' We had the pleasure of inspecting
the modern plant with friendly
Henry Weathers, son of the congenial
Publisher, who is celebrating his
ItOth anniversary with Jour nyighboring
newspaper. Not one tiling litis
been onittcd, that could have been
added to make the plant more complete.
The building litis every tiling,
any newspaperman could desire,
nut \tr are cxtreutelv happy to add
our congratulations and best wishes
to Dec Weathers ami his staff oil
the accomplishments ? that have
been mil lie.
TRUTH ABOUT COAL
SHORTAGE
. iNews storied. have been circulated
indicating that ahere Is fear there
iv ill be a shortage of bituminous
coal due to inability of railiotitis 10
transport sufficient <piai.f.iVies . to
consumers before winter sets in.
t'ommeuting on this,.au outstanding
bituminous operator says 'ihe
country's coal supply U low due to
the April strike and July miners'
holiday. He. points out that the American
rallrotuls could have hand
led :t5 to 40 .million additional tons
of coal in April, for storage. but
for the'strikes; and that it is a serious
mistake to try to place the
blaapiae for any coal shortage that
' may develop, where it does not belong.
During May. June, and July, this
exjlert say*. tie. railioads /mid
have < ransported an additional five
to ten million* tons of coal per
month, if It had been produced. De
: . , spite the Increasing demands the
arms drive will make on our railroads.
there are no grounds for i'ti?
ticipating a" transportation failure.

To P. D. Herndon and his
family goes the honor of being
j the largest family of readers of
readers of the Herald. There
[' are five members of the Herndon
family who are now keeping '
up with local events .via theli*
Home Town Paper. Mr. and
Mrs. P. O. read every issue at
home, Sara gets her copy at
G. W. C. in Greenville, while
Julia reads her copy between
classes at A. S. T. C.. In Boone,
the two working members of
the younger set,-Cora and Allen
receive their Issues at Raleigh
and Kannapolis respectively.
Unusual Fact: The three
I members of the staff of the Central
Barber Shop, wear exactly
the same size hat, which is |
7 1-8. This i^ what I oall mighty
convenient, if they r want to
trade head-wear, all they have !.
to do is pick up the other felI

Another Unusual Fact: Wife
of Insurance Man Ben Beam, |
won the Burial Policy given away
at the Lions Baseball game
last Friday night and wife of
Radio Man Jim Darracott won
the radio.
I met a couple of new preachers
this week. First I met Rev.
John Church, of Lincolnton, former
Pastor of Central Metho|
dist. In the Barber Shop, We
enjoyed talking about thorough!
bred horses. The visiting minister
is quite a fancier of fine
horses. The next day I met j
Rev. Ben Hqke of Blacksburg,
S. C.. who was in the Victory
Gin discussing cotton with P.
0- Herndon. Mr. Hoke, who '8
a native of the Best Town in
the State, is very proud of his
record, which has never been
broken, of running the 100 yard
dash in 9.5 while he was in college
at Wake Forest. He is also
proud of his record of nevec
having been, late to Sunday
School during the past 40 years.
He also related that he had !
missed only four preaching appointments
in his entire 40 j
years in the ministry.

.The fine spirit of co-operation
shown at the Monday night Air
Post Observation meeting was
' typical of Kings Mountain citi-zens
when they really desire to
do something. Maybe there is
hope for that Hotel yet.-. , .
Don Blanton said that he
started to call me the other "
night to come to his store to report
a "Bl itzkreig" ' of little
green bugs. The insects were
about to capture the business
section' of the Best Town in
The State, but after attack with
flit the green wave left for parts
unkhown, and business is now
as usual on 'main drag." Fisherman
Claude Webb of

[ demand for coal is abnormally high
| ?yet Hie 115-'hour week remains in
effect.
It Is estimated (hat ani 8-hour day
and a 40-hour week would Increase
sort coal production by 10 U? 12
percent. If demand should substant
lally increase In the future. It could
be met by extending the week to '42
I or 45 hours. Certainly, a working
j.week of such length, during' this
! time of enierge-ncy, would be no
1 hardship on coal miners or an.y orth!
er workers, who would receive proportionately
increased pay. Production,
and plenty of It. is essential
to the swift completion of the defense
program, and . the protection j
of every home and individual in the !
land.
