Proverbs 30:33. i t ' i Our best bow to Don Blanton, who will assume the presidency of the 1 lyings Mountains Lions club next month, and to Hoyie McDaniel, who has succeeded to the presidency of the Kings Mountain Junior Chamber of Compierce. These two civic organ- { illations can and will mean much to the welfare of the community. For the eight-year old Lions club it will J be continuing alODg its active way. For the Jaycee group it is a new program. In either instance, the responsibility of the leaders is .great, ' Tor as they le&d, so will the organi- ' rations proper and render full serI vice. These men arc qualified for their positions and the Herald wishes them much success. . 1 I No More Voting i With the announcement by JJal Ward that he would rot seek a second primary in the sheriff's contest' and with the same announcement 1 later by M. T. Weatherman, candidate for district solicitor, this county's prospects for another heated voting i^lay went out the window. Mr. Ward was accorded a good vote in the first race, but he was almost 1300 votes behind Mr. Logan,, ' and though he was encouraged to call for another voting, he was also advised hv mmp fliinnnvtd^* i?An/?a.lA _ ? ._rr.. u vu vvuvvuo uwmi- | nation of his opponent. Mr. Ward took the latter advice, j anil the Heralil believes that he was ( wise. Both candidates will thus be saved considerable election expense, as will the county, ami while Mr. Logan was some 800 votes short of a major< ity, it is hardly likely that many will feel be is receiving the nomina tion without a (dear mandate. Mr. Logan is a personable man, (a j veteran of World War II, and experienced in law enforcement. He should make the county a good sheriff. The City of Ki^g* Mountain is to be commended on its recent action in banning carnivals. There was not. and never will* be, logic in allowing such attractions to enter the city for ? a pittance of n license fee. True, the American Legion has a few extra <V. dollars in its pockets, but these dolIY " -lars are a very few of those whieh went down the drain via the chuek-o& 7 luck table, the penny-pitching board, 5? and other game-of-chanee ooncea'' sions. There's nothing wrong with the rides, as long as they can be had without the other. But merchants will tell the results of a carnival visit. &V Not OTllv ualfiii .1 rftn .. ^ -v.. v|^ kuv iuiiunni)^ 1 week, but weekly grocery bills whi."'- j #.* should be paid are left on the' books. May there be uc waiving res- [ ? . olutions. Here in North Carolina, the state 1 revenue department is anticipating < another record-breaking income from Scr." the sales tax. which reminds that this "emergency" tax, born of the de- 1 j. presslon, is still with us. Few mention the sales tax anymore, and ma< v ny people like it. They reason that everyone, through the sales tax, has a share in the government, which is good for. the commonwealth. The op- * |i,;7 jonentu argue that the sales tax tax- 1 as those who can least afford to pay. A* the ChsVlotte Observer aptly states, most taxes become permanent. With North Caroline's tax structure, i ' wbieh brings in muck revenue in }y good. times, little is degression perl* *vode,- It is doubtful that the salea tax ever he removed, unless the tex i Ik-:'. \ stnetere is eeapletely revamped.

' iS School Paper The Mountaineer, high school mon tfcly newspaper, concluded its first year this week with the publication of its senior edition. As usual, it was a well-edite^ edition. representing plenty of work on the part of its staff members and faculty adviser. This time, it doubled its size to eight pages. I While the Herald is fraternally bound to other newspapers and naturally feels the publication of a school paper is an important extra-curricular activity of the school, its principal pur[K>se in commenting on The Moun- i tainecr, is to commend its energetic.' editor, Clavon Kelly, its managing | editor, Hildreth Richardson, each staff member, and Miss Elizabeth Kee, the faculty supervisor who was i the guiding band in the successful :;r?t year. ! These Savings Bonds On the second anniversary of D-1 ""ay, today, the Treasury Department I > launching a campaign to stimulate savings bonds which most people still 1 Know as war bonds. Is there further need of buying them \ The ans'.v'er, of course, is an emphatic affirmative. The familiar "E" issues still are the highest interest bearing safe investment. The bond savings will put tme wise purchasers through future rainy days, and purchasers will also e helping themselves and others by siphoning off the ready cash which is aiding the boom toward inflation. Buy bonds, and bup them regularly! The citizens of Kings Mountain have nothing against Superior Stone company, and, in fact, recall with cod t-iderable pleasure that the company ?et up operations here at a time when the payroll checks materially aided Kings Mountain business firms Mid employees. lu spite of this cor dial feeling, however, many citizens have been remarking recently about the heavy dynamite blasts which make Kings Mountain at dusk or :>oon, seem like a nextdoor neighbor to the Anzio beachhead. The suggestion is made here that the blasting expert use smaller charges. In, many homes the blasts cause rattling windows and regular showers of plaster. If the suggestion is not taken. the citp should take appropriate action. Frieda Manufacturing company last week put in a hospitalization plan for its employees which embodies most of the benefits commonly found in other hospitalization insurance plans. The owners of this manufacturing , company are to be commended on installing this plaft.' whlrh T* actually an added benefit for the employees. It is actions like these which will make the southern organizing Jobs of the CIO and AFT* difficult. When the management of an industry leads the way in making better employee relations, the employees will fail to find a need for paying jinion dues. 10 Years Ago THIS WEEK Items ef news taken from the 1936 files of the Kings Mountain Herald Members of the graduating class were as follows: Bfllie Burke Blanton, Jack Fortune John Edgar Elam, William 8.
