Proverbs 29:11. courtesy Courtesy is one of the abstracts which almost everyone practices in more or less degree, it varying with the state of health in mind and body or both. Courtesy is a trait of personality which has been memorialized for centuries and which pays big dividends. A person can get along nicely by being courteous even when saying ' ''No," probably one of the inost,. universally unpopular words in all languages. The merchants of Kings Mountain are beginning next week a two-week courtesy campaign. The point, of course, is to make retail personnel "courtesy conscious," but the time is back again when courtesy will again mean the difference between cash and "no sale" punches on the cash register. There were a lot of jokes during the war about the discourtesy of waitresses, shoe salesmen. suit salesman, and salespeople generally. One fellow wno canea nimsen timer Smith even made a princely sum by writing a short book, which was a take-off on the wartime treatment he got. But it is time for courtesy hgain. Of course, customers will find that courtesy pays on their part too. A'l are human, and pleasantness, is pleasant. It is still artv?sai-!e to meet a fer . son half-Way and to make tk? t half-way at least ??fi percent. The experiment. y'hile a new one here..-Is"no? new in other cities, which rcjjoined miK'h. sueeess with similar ventures.. All. retail personnel of participating firms will he wantin g to win.the honors.... The lifting of the polio ban makes just abdvit everyone happy. The children are- glad to be free again, and. of aii things, glad to get back to school. One doubts that school. in ltseii, was tne appeal. More than likely it was fear of facing classes noxl June or July. The mothers are happy to release the youngsters to their new guardians, the school teachers, and the teachers are happy to get hack to work. Did the ban do any good? Who knows? It was at least a precaution against the unknown. Perhaps, before another epidemic hits, the cause and prevention of this dread disease will have been found. The Youth Class of First Presbyterian church translated their good wishes for foreign peoples to action by sending a.food producer in the form of a HolStein heifer to Italy. Columnist Drew Pearson is right. If it weren't for the powermongers of the top circle, the people, vyhen they get to know each other, would get along all right.

The answer is important to' everyone, be he American, Russian, Italian., English, French, or Chinese. The tense situation between Russia and the United" States could touch off any number of situations in as many scattered points which could catapult the United States ? and the world i ?into war as quickly as the Jay attack on Pearl Harbor, i The Rod Cross, praised and supported by the majority of the people of this nation, but J maligned and castigated by a1 few who happened to see the' Red Cross at its worse, is conducting a national effort to establish blood banks ? to take care of epidemics, disasters' from storms, fire and hurri-' cane, and" many other forms. The Red Cross phrases it "even^rar " The Red Cross dreads and hates the word, but knows that war is an ever-nresent possibility.

Revenge Weekend I suppose that, if I had been able to dig up train or plane fare last year. 1 would have gone to Texas for a most unpleasant maiden trip. This year the scene of action was closer, therefore much cheaper, and the return trip was most pleasant. r-w The fact that Justice and Company held a very successful board of directors meeting at Kenan Stadium. Chapel Hill, last Saturday, and disposed of the Texas matter in very acceptable fashion, was very palatable to a common stockholder like me. meaning a graduate who can scrape up sufficl ent casn to oolong to tn# Alumni association (S3 year year,) but can't get dnough to join the "Educational" Foundation ? the Alumni organisation which is to football what the 40 & 8 is to American Legion and the Shrine i_ to Masonry. r-w' I might add too that Justice and Company was very nice to this particular stockholder, virtually winning the game on our end of the field. The first three touchdowns were scored just a few yards away. Row P. Section 24, is not exactly in the center of the Stadium. In fast, it's a few feet back of the East goal line. In this section of the Stadium, one is in the ballyard ? but not far in. However, I think it is somewhat better than Don Blanton had for the Georgia conflict last year. ' Don was really in the far reaches. He had to brush foliage out of his face to see at all. and. bad he done an accidental back-flip, would have fallen on the ground plumb outside. What made me feel even better was that a Foundation member from Concord sat immediately behind our party. r-w Rsel aIavvi A# ? ? ?? ?'? .vai o?w* i w* u*c nuci\CUU V.OIIIC9 second-hand and alter the game. Fred Finger, who owes his allegiance to Duke, was seeing the game as the start of this week in which he left his regular toil in New York for a special Job of work here. Fred likes to be with the win ner too and thought Texas would win. He was with Mike Milam at the game, and Mike decided if Fred were going to root for Texas he should have the Texas colors, since he didn't wear a lO-gallon hat. . ' r-w When they got well-seated in their front-row, goal line seats the conversation went like this: Frsd: "You want SI00 or S200 on this game?" Mike: "No, I won't bet any cash. Tell you what I'll do. I'll bet my last gusher against the mineral rights in your SI.000-acre oil tract on the Panhandle." Fred agreed, and the nearby patrons sat by with mouths wide open. r-w The medicinal family went down with Iceman Shuford and family, Including all its members ? Messrs Billy (Rascal) Shuford, Martin (Busxard) Shuford, and Spot. We stayed over the weekend dt the home of Mrs. Shuford'* naffints. Mr. r n Maxkham. and thoM folks pass out mighty lino treatment. I wasn't around here when Tolly started court in' every night and finally wound up the single bliss ball of yarn, but I now know the reason. The lady must have invited him to try some of Mother'* cooking. Tolly, who is a man of action when it comes to bargains, must have been sold immediately. Mrs. Maxkham wields a capable hand with the skillet. r-w Mr. Markham. incidentally, is treasurer of Duke University, and Has been associated with the school fos four decades, now beginning his forty-first year. But he says he is far behind President Flowers. who Is on Wo. 57. i-w Duke romalns as classically beautiful as ever, even though 1 did go to school 12 miles away. Old Ben Duke's statue at the intranet to the women's campus is still varl-colored with the mostrecent coating of Carolina paint, and the grounds are perfectly manicured. This time. 1 paid my first visit to Duke Chapel, where the Dukes are buried. This massive structure reminds in a way of Riverside Church in New York. A neatly uniformed elevator girl took us up. up and up to the top. whose a passageway leads by the carillons, then a ring of steep steps to the top It had been about five years since I'd climbed with alacrity ever the masts of ships, and the sense of height was somewhat HMtOMi ??
