'J. ..... r f Kings Saving Program AttentionConversation A spot-check of grocers, cafes, and citizens Thursday indicated that Kings Mountain participation in the nation-wide effort to save food by observing meatless Tuesdays and chickenless Thursdays was confined principally to conversation ? without any tacit Information as to whether local citizens are complying or will comply. One grocer said he could tell little difference in his Tuesday meat sales, remarking, 'Tuesday isn't much of a business day, we might as well be at home." Another reported lots of customer comment, but added that his Tuesday sales were close to normal for a "rainy ds^y." In the restaurant field, nothing had developed more than a willingness "to coperate." One restaurant- . eur said he was going to talk It over with the other cafe operators and might put. meat of the Tuesday menu and chickens and eggs off the .Thursday bill of fare, while another remarked, "I may and I may not." Meanwhile, many of the big users, railroad dining car management, big city hotels and restaurants, were anounclng cooperation with the government's voluntary food-conservation plan. In Kings Mountain', it seemed the egg was coming In for most conversation, One prominent citizen remarked, "I Just don't see how I can start* the day off without my breakfast egg. Why, I've been eating an iegg every morning for years!" City Board Moots Ahoad Of Schodalo v r . The city board, In a special ses- ] sion Tuesday night, handled a short routine agenda, according to City Clerk S. A. Crouse.

Mr. Crouse said the special session was called because several members of the board expected to be out-of-town on the regular October 14 Oteeting date. He said the reg ular meeting probably would not be held, unless some special matter called -fpr tmedlate attention. *+< ? ?* nunsucKiei RitMToday Funeral services for Henry George Huffitlckler, 65, who died at his nam* an Mortis street at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, will be held Frlday afternoon at 3 o'clock at First Wesley an Methodist church,- with the pastor.

Umstead, North Caro- |o I Una's junior senator, visited the |c j Herald Wednesday night after jv ! speaking to the Bessemer City Lions J l* ! club?one stop in his effort to cov- j V , er North Carolina's sprawling 100 j c - j counties prior to the next session of e T Congress, special or otherwise. ! The Senator who has not yet an- " * , nounced his candidacy for re-elec- " t% tion but who is considered to be 1v I running Just the same, was accom- j e 1 panied by his public relations chief |? n Ed Rankin, of Spencer, who served | on the Salisbury Post, Raleigh News ? a (and Observer, with the U. S. Navy c m (three years, much combat), and ll d with the Associated Press before he ll |. was called to duty for the state high jj [ way commission for public relations duty two winters ago when Sandy p Graham, state highway commission * # chairman, was both literally and * ^ figuratively "mired in the mud." Mr. Umstead, who lives at Dur- a ham and who is a former Congress- d man, made no pronounceYnents re- e 1 gardlng the forthcoming senatorial t< race in which Former Governor J. Ig M. Broughton is another unannoun- fe ? ced candidate, but, in discussing the I e 1948 GOP campaign, said he hoped J v n. the Republican standard bearer < i; n. would not be Governor Tom Dewey ' N !j8 of New York. The Senator remarked H that Governor Dewey went to Albany as a prosecutor and otherwise has too little background for the top 0 jh executive Job of the nation. 8 s- To Senator Taft, he paid a left- J* m handed compliment. As a man com- J' N. pletely without tact, he said, Sena- rj tor Taft nevertheless has an a,maz- ^ es ing courage to talk about anything b. at any time, many times when it is ? ? not necesary. He described Senator * ? Taft as a tireless worker. He also de- " scribed Senator Vandenburg as the *. most well-rounded Republican in * the top branch of Congress J1 * ^ In Ms speech before^the^ Bessemer jj jT and which must reach a peak some- a where" should dictate caution in the 2 r conduct of business. He Indirectly defended the na- C tion's $37,000,000,00 budget, pointing N out that the big portion of this fiJI gure was for absolutely necessary 2 expense ? debt service, the armed services, and veterans welfare. Swinging to the international K scene, Senator Umstead flayed RutfI sia for her obstructionist tactics in ' endeavoring to thwart "the alms of p peace-loving nations in World II" and stated his belief that aid to Europe should be based on a plan which would enable Europe to help herself. "If we are to alve Britain i money," he Mid, "then certainly i 18 British coal miners should be will* |zt Ing to work to enable Britain to get < tt >V back on a sound productive basis." | w d. w ;?

"Since establishing prices many 2! months ago, many barber supplies . have doubled or near-doubled in . price and the cost of living has ad- * vanced greatly. "Still," he added, "the new prices / are considerably under the price pre pi vailing in most dries in North Caro- bf Una and other southern states." In maintaining the week-day low pr nrlffo An nK 4 W ? 1 41? ? r* v?> vntiui Cll O IIOIIVUIB, HIP [j( spokesman remarked, 'It's Just wor- d, th more to cut a child's hair on Sat- ar urday.
