"We believe strongly that the best way to distribute the gains of rising productivity is through lowering prices. We are cutting now, although there is every promise that we can sell everything we can make this year and- next at present prices,"! said Fowler McCormick, chairman of the board. ' This policy, generally, made American business what it is today. It is what made the American working man the highest paid in the woxld, and his standard of living the highest. It may be guessed that International's rising productivity has been made possible through several factors, major among them greater inteiect in production on the part of the thousands of workers Who make International products. Increasing productivity in other lines as well is bringing more and more products back \ on the market in quantity, and ) in the end it will mean a return y to competition and a return to normal prices. With still a considerable back t log of consumer demand for al- t most everything, there is rea- 1 son to believe that the nation 1 can look forward to continued t high production and continued t high demand, with prices les- ? sening due to increased produc- : tion and consequent return of c competition. ? s r Among the best news of last t week's Herald was the an- I nouncement by Southern Bell ? official R. A. Finley that a new telephone line will be added between here and Shelby. The . Herald had been plugging for more Shelby - Kings Mountain facilities for sometime, and the additional line should be considerable help. The hope, of course, is that the construction will begin soon.

That Hotel What cvith spring just around the corner (the calendar says) t It should be time to make the ever-present reminder that a city of Kings Mountain's age, size, general disposition, etc., should have a hotel. For yeers this statement has jeen made, and as far as is icnown, the mere factual statement has yet to raise an argument. ,< Neither has it raised suffi- cient action. q Naturally, a hotel project an-1 :icipates the outlay of considerable cash, and the Department of Commerce will report :hat hotels, due to many factors, including original outlay ire not the most sure business enterprises in the world. Yet hotels do operate at a . jrofit, even small city hotels , comparable to what one might >e here. ' \ ; It must b<: increasingly em>arrashing to citizens of the immunity to have to answer etters to business acquain- . :ances, friends, and others and tell them the nearest hotel ac:ommodations are 14 miles dis tant. i There is no better time than :he present to get a hotel move nent started and to complete it vith the finished article. The ogre of John L. Lewis is ising again, as the March 31 ;ruce deadline approaches. Jowever, after his treatment' ast November, it is doubtful hat the nation will have to put lp with his high-handed sheninigans again. Congress is in io mood to brook the impuden:e of this man who operates on i policy of, "I first, the nation .econd."

"What's that you want, I son?" Why do wt deal with it in K. I M. when we don't have any? A very 1 good question. I hope that I will be I able to answer it as well as it was I asked. We boys and girls 'don't know what recreation is really like hecause there is not enough interest in I it by the elder people. We, (the 8 young people), get blamed for being | the wildest generation yet and that t ' we are nothing but Juveniles. Pfrt of 8 that statement is right, but. being 8 wild is untrue.
