Provide thing* honest in the sight of all men. Romans 12:17. Our congratulations to the Jnnior Woman's club for its being listed on the honor roll of the state organization. This group is another valuable asset of the eity. The Kings Mountain airport has been designated a landing area by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, and this should be good news, not only t for the airport owners and those per- ! sons directly interested in flying as t a vocation and avocation, but for all1 * 1 citizens as well. Kings Mountain is very fortunate in having a flying field. Many towns and cities do not have one, and those who do not are likely to be left behind in the postwar period when flying will become more and more commonplace. Flying is the fastest means of physical communication. And in the post-war period, even those persons who never get more than one foot off the ground will benefit materially by air ircnupuri ? wuD raster mail service, air freight and air expreta service, and the additional butinese which will be brought to a city which ha* adequate airport facilities. Kings Mountain is a mainline city, being on a mainline railroad and at the intersection of two national highway*. It | is good to see the city keeping pace I with the development of transportation facilities. The Charter San Franciseo has bade farewell to itg delegates from all over the j world, but? the most important phase of the international effort for future world peace is just beginning. That is the actions of the nations in adopting the charter. President Truman and Congres-' sional leader* are very eorrect ia pressing for early consideration of the charter, for the United 8tates, the host to the conference, with Busan, the other half of the world's two moat powerful nations, must be included in the organisation, if the work at San Franciseo is to be fruitful in preventing future destruction. Bight now it appears that the ^ Senate will most certainly ratify tha charter. But the Unitqd Stages ia . p,: j strange nation, with 'public ' opinion t quick to change. This isuM tha mord'."j reason that the present day isola-l tioniets ? Senator Wheeler, andv,. friends?should not be given a ehaa- '' ee to delay action, to gain time for lulling oT the people into a false ense of security. Failure of the U- . nited States to eater the world or- i gmnisatlon , for peaee would hill it, tj and all persons should convey their wish for United States' participation to their elected representative# in J Congress. Both Senators Hoey and Bailey have expressed themselves as highly in fnvoT of the charter, but! ' they would be glad to hear the dl-1 rect expressions of their constituents. Fire Laws Fire Chief Grmdy King's letter te theHersld Inst week brought out another side to the business of Kings Mountain fiie-fighting' Certnlnly, he is absolutely right in pointing out that the sititMi do not obey laws?designed for their safety ... whan the fire alarm sounds. , In anna sating that speed limits np m ? ? ?11 ? 1 y*/ piicti iw wen ?? uinri?, IDC B?nM Hitwd*d, in no way, to to-, floet' oo the firemen, for the/ pot form a noble apd thankleea took. .

When the fire alarm Bounded, the paper waa virtually ready to go to press. Now newsp&per folks are human like most others, and since It was already late, the first thought ' was that the fire probably was not a serious one and that we would content ourselves with a telephone call to the fire station when the "In" tone was blown In the whistle. hat j It waa raining cats and dogs, of I coarse, but for some reason soma- j one went to the back of the shop ! to find the dark clouds a slow with ! light. From the Herald office H ! looked as If the Mauney Mill wu being consumed with Ore. Incidentally, It waa interesting to .learn the many different ldeaa people had as to the location of the fire. Some thought It waa the Bonnie Mill, others thought It waa Fiona Brothers, and others thought It waa the Kings Mountain Cotton Oil company ? all depending on the place where the looker saw the . glow. h-e-t 1 But with all that fire, it was time to more. A green slicker (purloined from the navy) hung on the hook and on It went, but the only hat that could be found eras the already battered summer straw, 4 which most certainly would not hare held up under such a down- j pour. That mads a bareheaded trip | out of it. h-e-t in spite or the time It takaa to get started, and a traffic Jam in the ridnity of the fire, I was huddled under a shed near the fire talking to Claude Ham bright is mihntee after the fire started. X was back in the office in a_ short time, and the story was written, set, and in the front page of the Herald by midnight. h-e-t But eur troubles didn't end bare. .
