TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto
my cry, give ear unto my prayer,
that goeth not out of feigned llpe.
Pealm 17:1.
The county board of commissioners,
in acting under the authority of the
net passed by the recent General Assembly,
has appointed Mrs. Pride
Katterree to serve as a part-time service
officer of Kings Mountain. Her
duties will be to inform service men
returning to civilian life of their
rights and benefits and help them to
obtain them. Mrs. Ratterree, who
^ra"CT3Sr
nursing corps in World War T, ts
wollciualified for this post. We rath
er imagine, though, that it won't
be too long before the commissioner*
will have to make it a full-time
post.
Production And Bonds
The Seventh War Loan drive began
officially Monday with a big goal
for Kings Mountain citizens. Next
Monday Kings Mountain War Production
weeif begins.
As has Been stated frequently in
the news section of this paper, the
observance of war production week
has two purposes: (1) to show just
how much war work is going on ri^it
here in Kings Mountain, and (2) to
show the people the importance of
sticking to the job.
Textiles ? cotton textiles ? are
among the army's critically needed
products. An examination of the map
will ifcow, according to present battle
lines, drawn in tropical areas,
that it's a cotton war, as far at outfitting
men of the servicA is concerned.
Also, we believe a lot of folk, even
those producing the products of
Kings Mountain plants, will be surprised
to find just where their products
are going.
War Production week and the Seventh
Loan campaign tie in together.
Learn about TOUR job, and buy
ttiose bonds to assure an etrlier VDAY.
> 'Going To Church
Announcement of the plans of ^
large citizens' group to sponsor an
" extended go-to-church and-8undayBchool
campaign in KinJsj Mountain
la encouraging, for it shows a growing
awareness for the need for spiritual
development.
Few have failed to hear the platitude
that "you don't have to
go to church to be a Christian." As a
statement, that is undoubtedly correct.
But an examination of people
would show that few who don't attend
church ? and a good many wfco
do?are Christians in name only.
Bnt participation is all important.
That Is the reason that the elvic organi.Vtions
which have high percentage
attendance are the best. One
gnust participate to learn, and one
must learn to know.
Striving to learn, know anlT practice
the teachings of Christ should
be the first business of everyone.
Chairman John L. McOill was entirely
right when he said last week,
"The present state of the ...warracked
world calls for a spiritual reawakening."
These civic groups are
on the right track.
The leaders anticipate and should
have a filled auditorium for the Bible
program of the Plonk School on
8unday.
Our congratulations to the winners
in last Tuesday's election. The vote
wu light, indicating that eitisens,
thinking about tlbo war and V-E Day
bad little time for much else.

Post V-E Day
V-B Say, awaltod for many
months, arrived, and tho roactlon to
the announcement In different sec
tions of the nation and In other nations
was varied.
p-v-e-d
In Russia, where the people know
nothing until Marshal Stalin decides
it's time for them to know,
the announcement came early la
the morning. The Associated Press
reported wildly rejoicing, nightgowned
crowds In the attests, - embracing
of each other like an oldtime
revival meeting.
p-v-e-d
It was much the same in Britain,
where, since September 3, 1939 ?
for more than five years ? the
people have known the wall of the
sirens announcing the approach *of
the death-dealing Luftwaffe, fhree,
sudden death, buss-bombs, complete
blackouts, rationing of the
most strict order, and hard work,
p-v-e-d
In America, the radio reported
tremendous Jams at the New York,
grog shops, but In the hamlets.
towns and Tillages, the reaction was
generally quiet, prayerful, thankful,
mindful that the job la no
more than half done.
p-T-e-d
K-i anaemzou the" reactions
In Britain and Russia, but not In
Mew York. Britain can begin to
rebuild, though etHl In war, the
cloeeness of the war has Tanlahed.
There will be no more buss bombs,
j The British people "can settle down
to at.t. that the American people
! have known of war: rationing, anxiety
about loved ones For Russia,
the war la orer, until and if she
joins us against Japan. For the
United States, she will be bearing
| the brunt of the fight against J a- j
J pan.

When the thrilling news came
i Monday morning that the V'B day
t nmrlamatlAn waa eYTWirta^ 4f
i a real flurry In the Herald office.
I It waa Immediately planned to get
out an extra, If the proclamation
came on Holiday afternoon, incorporating
four eectlona of the edition
which Herald readers received
as a V-E edition, plus a front section
of four paces. When the announcement
came that it would be
the following morning, plans had
to be altered to simply put out a
special V-B edition.
p-T-e-d
Comments between the dots: The
letter BUI Fulton wrote his mother
about the horrors of thPWasi political
prison oamps undoubtedly
1 will bring home the brutality of
' the Haul fiends better than any other
account of theee atrocities . . ,
Almost all of the V-B day let-up
of restrictions are all right, Including
lifting of the brownout, the
any'* point system discharge
plans, the statement of General
Elsenhower that men who had
fought In Africa and then In Germany
would not be sent to fight*
Japan, plans for more gasoline and
other commodities for civilians.
But the ban on horse racing was a
good one. San Francisco war plants,
and those at Baltimore, Boston, and
other cities were beset with abesntee
problems until the ban ....
the absentees being busy winning
the war by placing two bucks on
the nose of a nag to come home in
front . . . now that's great' sport, X
suppose, but not a sight of help toward
winning the war . . . nothing
hurts a newsman more than to have
a real story at his fingertips and not
be able to do anything about it
In tht midst of the V-B day edition,
It was impossible to get a
number, one being an account of
the experience of Bobert (Whitey)
Whiteside, liberated from the Basis,
and now At home.

To market,
To market..
When the Southern Railway System toes "to
market," H doe* its baying from "shopping
list" of 65,000 different item*. ..and buys about
aixty-ooe million dollars worth in a year.
Using almost everything... from toothpicks
to crossties, from pins to steel rails...there are
few articles produced in the South that the
Southern doeent bay.
flL " And there are few dtiea, or towns, or counties
in the 8outh that do not feel the helpful effect
p of railway purchase*. They ring local cash regI
isters, stimulate local trade, and provide jobs
f for thousand* of workers in other industries
Thus, through to purchssss, through the
taxes it psys, through the 50,000 railroad Jobs it
provides end the vital transportation service it
renders, the Southern Railway System really
MServes the 8outb" ..and so helps h to grow
and prosper.
