Ti y^Jtonh Carolina vA /Wttl AltOCIATMMtll TODAY'S BIBLE VEfiSE The Lord is my rock and my fort ress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2, Patrolman Hal B. Ward's warning to motorists, coupled with the report of eight auto accidents in the short space of three ntilos on one highway, was certainly in order. Any motorist who drives his automobile at hign Speeds is flirting with death, not only for himself but for others. The newest automobiles are not less than three years old, and a check on tires will reveal that most of them have that "tired"' look. It is to be hoped that the Governor will not lift tho speed limit until new tiree are oh tainabic for all persons. Meantime, Mr. Ward and other police officers are to be commended, if they keep a check on fast drivers. Mrs. Patterson It will not seem quite the same around the Herald office with Mrs. A. H. Patterson no longer coming in to bring copy and to give news tips. For many years she has bandied the ' woman's page of the Herald, which most news men would vote the hardest job on any newspaper when it comes to the business of pleasing the customers. She has done it weT) and at a sacrifice of her own time. When the ownership of the Herald changed last March, Mrs. Patterson agreed to continue her work until the situation more or less settled. Her help has been much, and it Is deeply appreciated. School And Youth Both Superintendent B. N. Barnea and Principal .1. E. Hunevcutt, calling attention to the end, of the war and the consequent loosening of the tight labor situation, are uring teenagers to return to school and promise that they will lie given every aid toward ohtaining a high school diploma. Certainly their words are timely. The legislature compromised last winter and raised the compulsory attend a nee ape to id. nut an parents and children should not be satisfied until a hiph school diploma is in hand. Some may arpue that they arq, doinp all ripht as is, but it won't be too long before a high school diploma will be the required entree for almost every job, and those who have stopped school will find ' themselves pushed around to the poorest jobs with poorest pay. In future years, high schools are going to offer more. This year, the twelvith grade becomes compulsory for the first time, and undoubtedly its value will increase greatly. For the most part, it has been used as it post-graduate playtime. But with the eourses required for graduation, much more of the teachings will be rfbsorbed. In addition, as teachers again become available, curricula will be ex Yia.nd*ri and t.hp vnriotr r*t obtainable will include not only tin basic standard courses, but vocation al training as well. There is no substitute for learning even though the school of experience is always required to round off whs* j it learned. The world became at peace officially Sunday. In entering the new era of peace, when scientific con tributions to war will be turned into blessings of peace, the world has much to anticipate. One law will not t be changed. The man or woman with W energy and ability who couples with these traits honesty and fair play will go far.

Fact Is, it's been a- ?u way from that trend for a logg er time. And there are some who vc would argue that the trend Is bad. s-d It seems quite a long time since X I first went to school, and it has Oi been 20 years. J. Y. Irvin was su- . hi perlntendent here at the time, and I < i I remember calling him to ask if, j g} | at five years of age, I couldn't en- ' *1 ! ter the first grade. He said X | could, aud I was tickled pink. ^ c-d Miss Daisy Lovelace started me, as she started many another Kings .i.untain boy and girl. I don't fr think she was too happy at the in prospects of handling a five-year- ?'< eld, and who would be, with a roomful of souirmers are sir? But I stuck. <li 8-d M I don't remember too much a- '<< bout that first year, though I had. < > not learned to tie my shoes past ft' the first knot. I sat in front of tc Earl McOlll, and I would stick my ?t foot back for him to tie my shoe, which, incidentally is an erroneous colloquialsm I, never had thought t i ' of before. You don't tie the shoe j at all, but the shoe-string. M s-d . CI I remember learning a little poem that year about a duck and Miss M ; Lovelace's discomfiture when a t tn | girl (whose name 1 shan't men- j I tion) gave as her recitation: !'< "My nose Itches, I smell peaches ? | "Wonder comes a man with a hole in his britches." t M s-d ' Oi That tear, I had chicken pox. CI s-d A lot of folks worry about the j antics and escapades of children j and talk about "How Bad the > r< Children Are These Days." I guess that has been a favorite topic of i conversation since the first school tl set up for business. s-d t? Actually, to hear s few of the j 'Oh fbout school days of yeeter- , tti yesr, the school boys and girts of j today, by comparison, are as mild w as the advertisements say Oamei ; ; cigarettes are. 8| A fellow was talking the other Ir{ night about some of his school-day i experiences and they were rich. 81 One included boring a hole in the j floor, dismounting the bell and..J a putting the cord through the hole. After school got well underway, C the boy pulled on the bell cord. I* 1 ? uir"-* sbout three hours to find the belL An all the time there were intermittent "ding- r? dongs." , s-d ! * 1 Then there is another tale about the boys who felled a tree in the 41 school yard, letting it fall against c 1 the building. This proved very disrupting. e( s-d So parents shouldn't worm tnn much, I suppose, when the boys " and girls come home bookless, and Jt say, "Oh, I got my lessons in school." Actually, of coarse, that G | will be stretching the story a lit- ? t^e in a lot of Instances. s-d Students' are more fortunate T th"se days. They have nicer bnildlngs to study (?) In, better facillties, and limitless opporfiminlty. There's still a premium on work. n m N Discipline is always a problem, perhaps mora for high school pn- ]{ nils than for younger ones. The . 1 high school age is the get-together . age. The most lm\-tant part of living is being with the crowd, o( whether at a football game, in front p of a soda fountain, or Just at school. That's what makes staying in so bad. not the lots of time, but " being virtually alone. t( s-d ' So it's school days again, that happy time oldsters look back on M ?i?h immense nostalgia, which their children can never understand, on they, too, are looking back. ( >roeram can be launched on the rigb' "1 ..tk a i lit h Though accurate figure* on the ' ercentsge of Cleveland county's 't ' E" bond sales rurchased by King* ' fountain ama eit'eens are i>~ohtaln * ihle.
