A belated beat bow to Jack Prince who tied for firat honor* in the an rui county-wide Hoey declamation contest. Kings Mountain baa been taking this honor with quite a bit of I regularity for many year*, and though it'a possible that Kinga Mountain parent* aire children with better voice* and platform manner, the Herald aaapeeta that aom* good instructor ha* dona a good job too. Our eongratula tiona to young Prince on hJa;'MK|*r pliahment. lAbti-prioe control folk* point to rlaing price# and use thi* a* an argument againat continuing them. How ever, the Herald believe# an inflation ary trend is bettor for the people than inflation. Register To Vote The registration book* opened for ! the first time last Saturday at preeinet* all over North Carolina. and all nn-registered eligible* should see that their namee get on the booka in order tbat they may cast their votea. The right to vote ha* been called variously, a "right," a "privilege,'* a "duty." V. >1 Perhaps all three apply. Bnt one big trouble with the nation's democratic form of government is that too few persons want to bother to vote. They don't care. ' This is very unfortunate, and is the maena by which scheming politi- , coea frequently entrench themselves into positions of public prominence and power and operate governments | to personal rather than public bene^ fit. An informed public usually chooes the best man at the polls, and it behooves each citizen to keep himself informed and vote his conscience. If you haven't already, register Saturday at your precinct polling place. Play Ball Kings Mountain is really having a sports awakening this summer, with a lot of baseball on the , program. There'll be Legion Junior games, a bantam team> and the Kings Mountain Vets in the semi-pro league. - The Vet* open up Saturday afternoon, playing Cherryville of the Tri County legue, and appropriate ceremonies are being planned. Indications are that the Vets will have an interesting team to wateh, one which will deserve the support of Kings Mountain citizens. This is National Baby Week, and while the emphasis is more on outfitting the tots of the nation than on producing more of them, a perusal of birthrate figures would indicate this latter emphasis perhaps fk not needed. Yet it may be.

' ' " ?fflKl Paper Salvage While tbi? is being written sossswhat in advance of yesterday ' firat scheduled paper collection, there will be others up-coming, and all persons should cooperate in saving their old newspapers, magazines, etc. Paper of all kinds has been in shorter supply since the end of the war than before, as the housewife has experienced at the grocery, and ap busninss firms are experiencing too. Various kinds of paper stock for special forms are unavailable, and the newsprint problem is still acute. Waste paper can be reprocessed and is a large percentage componet of many paper products. The Boy Scouts have been handling paper collection here, but knew that they were not touching the total of paper available. The big problem in salvaging paper is in handling its bulk, and the idea b-hind a monthly collection is to take waste paper of business firms, homes, etc., before it piles so high as to force destroying it. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will supply the means of handling wastepaper, and the amount obtained should be considerable, with the proceeds to be used both for the Scoots and other community projects. Spring Cleaning Old Mother Nature has been verv good to as folks in this seotion by giving * store house of trees, shrubs end other vegetation that come forth in Spring to - enhance the beauty of the landscape. Several North Carolina cities and towns are sponsoring clean-up campaigns to see that man takes ears of what might otherwise detract from the natural beauty of the community. There are several sneh spots ia States villa that could be improved by a little clean-up that would add considerably to the appearance of the town. 1 It is to be assumed that all of ae have Spring fever and are retieeat when it comes to a little work, bat if we will take time to look about and see what we can do to improve onr city and begin at home, the result would be amaeing to moot people. Let's take this clean-up business seriously for a beautiful city is not only enjoyable but it is a healthy place in which to live.?Stateevillc Daily Becorct. Kings Mountain merchants, who will cosa the OPA and its multifari cms ted take at the drop of the hat, may have cussed again last week at fhe 'fetrs thatrMrs. Madge Warllek 4s . leaving OPA. As was typical of the paid employees of the Kings Moun tain office, Mrs. Wariick adopted the attitude that her's was a role in which she should help honest merchants decipher and comply with the regulations. This helpful attitude on her part has made her many friends, and, if it had been adopted by dia trict and state officials throughout the nation, there would be lees antag oniem against OPA at the present time. 10 Years Ago THIS WEEK Items ef news taken from the MM files of (he Xlnja Mountain Herald David Ovens, well known speaker of Charlotte will ae the main speaier at the annual Ladiee Night banquet of the Men'* Club, to be held next week.

By Mirtto Harmon Jaycee Conclave Charlie Carpenter and X slipped off to Southern Pinee Uot Friday morning to attend a portion of the. North Carolina Junior Chambor of Oommeroe convention, and though we didn't got there for tho start of it, not hang around tho Jhe finale, wo wore definitely there and enjoyed it Though in many ways this convention waa Just liko a lot of other conventions, It differed in several ways, probably because of the Jaycee age llmito which ere 81-33 years of sgs.

This was another way in which this convention differed. Usually, in trade grospb, sttch as the merchar ts, druggists, dentists, doctors, newspaper man and other groups, the election of officers is a very mild 1 report from a nominating committee which is then duly adopted uJ-?

J-? Incidentally, Kings Mountain voted "right" on every candidate. , . ? jT * J-? Convention headquarters was the Pine Needlee, strictly a fancy resort hotel (rates 99. American plan) but we didn't get In over there. They had us booked for the MidPines, which wan not quite as swank, but all o. k. for the same rate. The smarter guys stayed over at Carthage where the accommodations weren't as lavish, but where the rate wan more In line with the pocket book of young business men. l-o The young lady at the desk succumbed to a wink or two from Charlie and fixed us up fine with a corner room which left nothing to be desired. l-o The management of this hotel must have had some newspaper tralng. On Saturday morning, an old friend of mine named Tom Humphries from AskerlUe let a colored boy have Ida oar for washing.

He nrgee the nee of round kernels from the ends of the corn ear lor planting, discounting nn old the try that only the middle, flet kernels are good seed. Stoart'e release said: "Searce ia the word to describe the supply of North Carolina adapted :ertified hybrid seed corn in certain areas of the etate. In other sections the supply is still adeiumte. "Certified hybrid corn is graded according to the sire of kernels and all sound kernels on the ear are used for seed. It haa been customary in the past to use only the flat kernels from the middle of tbo ear., This practice was followed not btocause the tip and butt kernels were damaged but because they ordinarily would not paaa through the conventional ntflV nlftto Vaw nla?aa mwmIU. r- - r?..v. ble for all ?Uee of kernels on the standard makes of corn' planted*. If of course, the seed is graded for sise "Official variety test records made by Dr. B. P. Moore, State College agronomist, show that the sound round kernels from the tip and bntt of the corn ear yield just as well as flat kernels from the center of the ear. As a matter of fact, you actual ly get more for your money in buying round seed since there is a higher number of kernels to the bushel." Pulpwood Good Crop Insurance With national underwriter associations preparing to do their usual spring business of insuring 1046 erops against hail, drought and other forms nt crop failure, Jh%, HoeSMtS' VistoryJfralpifued Committee this seek called attention to an added type of insurance which all farmers can carry "without eoet to themeelree". "The ehespeet form of insurance against total crop failure," said the committee, "ic the insurance a fanner gets when he maintains a farm woodland on his property. "Pulpwood can be harvested from a well-kept farm woodlot," explained the committee, " and there is never' sny danger of a crop failure. "Present pricee for peeleed top qnal ity pulpwood are high. Pulpwood eau be out during the off-season and daring thote rainy days when work cannot be done on other crops. The committee pointed out that through selective cutting in their woodiots, finairt cm be assured of profitable cash returns . even if total failures result in otbtr crops. "And when other crops are good," said the committee, "the pulpwood harvest means extra, added income to buy those things - which otherwise might not be available frim the proceeds of just the other crops alone."
