Shorter Hours Certain Kings .Mountain business firms ? the department stores, furniture and hardware firms ? will shor ten their long Saturday schedule by one hour this week und Will close at 7 o'clock. Merchants' schedules, which once were early in the morning to late at night, have seen a great change from the "old days," and the change is a good one. It has been proved, first by th? banks "f the 1-9";.,; *r. .> V't. greeTTy other business firms, that the same amount of business ,-hii be done in > shorter number of hours, and the action here is just another steu ii that direction. A-tnil sales work has long been regaffled as "M'iiite nllai " work, yet it ha4 el i-rni pai l -a lories commensurate with the r <jtiirimeets of the bllstne-- ;-:,il frequently industrial employes were beititr paid as much or tuoie f"r !? hours. Since the XKA. America has come to recognize the eight hour day as a worthwhile policy in all fields of endeavor, and many who foilCh* this feature ot the XRA most bitterly, are now the loudest proponents of the eight-hour day. Beci>u,e this working day is proved r'ght the majority or workers t!vrose!\e? who would benefit by a shorter day "-off at the few labor leader* who ro'-ummend a six hour day. The merchant* an- to lie commended tor short*,iron this -che.lule The* are show ,,ir far sighted ae.ss.

Get Your X-Ray If you havyijt already, get your T-B X-Hny at once. Through spending a piriiios do seconds in the mobile X Kav umt, it may be the means tj discovery of a latent case of tuberculosis, and the prime need in curing this dread disease is the early discovery of it. The X-Raya are free. They are painless. Confidential reports will be made to the individuals. The tests may save your life. You owe it to yourself and to your family to get a T-B test this week. Norman McGill, Don Glass and Jack i'riuce arc representing Kings ^fountain at annual Boys' State in tjnapei inn this week, ana the raet that they are there should be credited to the Amerieati Legion, the Kiwanis club ami the L:ons club. These young men will gain much from this experience, learning much about the operation of their state government aj well as mak'ng friends from all parts of the state. These organizations are to be commended on seeing that Kings Mountain is represented. Appeal was made last week by J. E Hnc,youtt to veterans and others who hnd not been in school last year to register for this year's term. Prineipay lhireyeutt's appeal will not go unheeded by thinking young men who will realize that post-war competttoa for jobs is developing right now. Now os the time to prepare for it. Those who do not have a high ehool education are likely to find themselves left at the post, and they will have to content with the crumbs that fall from the table of employment. When one reads the report of the special'congressional committee which speaks of "Not chancing anothei I'earl Harbor," this time from Russia, it makes people, or should make them, remember that there is no strength from weakness. We still live in n world populaeed bv human heiugs ? human beings who can't help but he greedy, who can't help hut seek more worldly goods. Most indi> Ttduals are willing to seek what they want through legal means. But na' tlons seem to know only one law, jkiyr.,;,, tkat one the law of GRAB. Thinking persons will not be sorry that the ^ytive service system ie function-' v.*. ? r---';k* THE KIN Welcome Teachers Unquestionably. Kings Mountain | will wulconif its toik-Lit-is tb j ye;..' I with nrr > open somewhat wider thaii usuual uiid tliv degree ot hospitality, always good, will be greater. ' With the principals and superintendents oi the nation scurrying around iior tiiii l.ers. the iaet that King* I Mountain schools arc opening wit > ! lull teaching complements is a tribute | both to the eity and to the schools. indicative of the hospitality is the fact that citizens have answered the ! call tor quarters and have provided ' accommodations for the teacherss. I An autumn wouldn't be right without school opening, and school open- ! inpc would be impossible without ca- j ; pable teachers. The Herald and the community wel- | [ oiecs its teachers, both those return| ing and those coining to Kings MouuItaiii for the first time. A number of newspapers in the .stale are advocating the use of '"-peed traps" as a means of halting 'the Browing number of fatal ucci ient which are the direct results of fa?t and careless driving, and it is understood that highway patrol authorities are giving some consideration to the idea. The old-time conleptioii of a "speed trap" was a coin Ibiiiution of a justice of the pence Hit*I a constable who teamed up to catch the unwary driver, usually a motorist from some other state or at least from a distant part of the state ' u jft'hiob the "trap" tvas bcinb operated. While no oue tikes the principle eveti of an honestly-operated "speed trap," ? number of them in 'various parts of the state will serve ito reduce the speed at which many of the cars, trucks and buses are operating. and that will mean a saving ?.f | ivew, lu these days of rapid com"tnn.b-st'te the speeders ami bring them before a judge, .lust tahc their license plate .mulcts. notify them to appear ia -oitrt at some convenient place, and pnv a fine and the cost".

I * Senator lloev said in a speech at l harlotte last week that he voted on bill bills during the recent session of Congress ami would not change his vote on any one. More important, he himself as leaning to the lieoiy that members of legislative Governing bodies should study bills, hi d ast his vote according to his conjvictions. If more Congressmen follow!

In an effort to get to press a lit- j I tie earlier, the deadline on news, j society, and ether copy had been ad \ vanced several hours, and had not been badly broken, and things gen- | i eraliy were going fairly well until ! I something like 8:45 Wednesday ev! euinr. Suddenly there was a clang j n { and a bang, and one of Angle's ^ ' (our agOvl linotype) limbs plumb ' butted in two. Now Angle is a very ' r complicated, and as previously re ported, occasionally temperamental , lady. flh?t has several thousand indl- 1 vtdual parte, and it happened that C I thia nartlenlar limb bad been brok- > ' en before- ! < d-o t !. Dr. Grady King was summoned, j * , and as all good doctors are, he was ' ready to serve with his welding | torch, completing the mending job 1 ? ; in record time. However, the angle ! in the piece wasn't quite right 0 in J Idl'lKtltaif1 jmu*1' : nether half-hour was spent before r Angle was running again. d-o-t ] I We finally got to press about -1:30 ?' a. :n.. i.utl Ihii \.o\.!d nor have bceu too had, had not Betsy, our news- i 1 paper press, also ben in a temper- j c;:..r.tal mood Ecir-ey, who is about i t'. e ar.ie ago of Angle, docs not j here ay many pares, bat more of j hezs were out-of-order. i,. d-o-t I ';? 1'irst trouble encountered was fail- ;. are a1 the belts to turn the big cyl- I jinlcr which makes the Impression ! ' ou the paper. Betsy's belts must be I tightened just right, and must also 1 have the exact amount of belt I ( .verse. in this instance, Betsy had j l been overly greased. Various treatment resulted, aud finally the clyinder began to turn, nothing like , the speed of a 1914 Eord, but she j did turn. d-o-t This slow process was not con- |, dticivn to happiness at 4 o'clock in ! the rooming. for tired bodies ware . o.icr.ay breeding short tempers. ]; dot For .'.ome 200 papers worth, this j | slow process continued. Then we | \ began to notice that a big blank ( streak appeared on each paper.

I Wc have decided here that the I | fellow wbo coined the phrase "trou- | ble comes in doses" really said a | mouthful..
