TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
Recompense to no man evil for
erll. 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. ,

Bat wo had company, for tho ration

National bank job.
h-e-t
A lot of folka commented on the
Herald'* ability to get the ..report
of the fire which leveled the Hambright
barn Into the paper, and we
yyiavuwu UUS, 1U[ VUCIC | 11UU1lng
which pleases anyone more
than to find that a little extra ef- .
fort baa been recognized.
hat
This la the way It happened.
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.

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.
