Proverbs IS: 1. Situation .Eos?4 In reporting the ejection of four teachers to the city schools faculty last week, Su perintendent B. N. Barnes also remarked that only a few va cancies remained and he an ticipated no great difficulty In filling them. This feeling was a considera ble contrast to that of /ecent years when it was touch-and go whether a school would have sufficient teachers to atari, a new year. The reasons are cjuite likely two-fold: (1) More money, as repre sented by the handsome in crease of 28-plus percent voted t>y the 3949 General Ajse/nMy ; and (2) A tightening economic situation, which makes teach ing jobs a little more attractive than they were. ?? .. . Another editor remarked last week on the school' situation, and he warned the people a gainst making teachers the whipping boys for future "sav-' ings" in the event of tightened economic situations, pointing out. that the caliber of the. state's teachers will be the mark of our future greatness. He called for two further im provements in the schools sys tem. One is the establishment of a merit system whereby the best- teachers can receive some economic reward for their tal ents and anilities. Under the present system. North Carolina pays its teachers only on basis of education and tenure. The neighboring editor's other sug gestion was that the state wpread it's annual salary over a. "12-month period. He. pointed <mi that the three-month vaca tion proves a deadweight on the teacher's budget. While North Carolina has been inclined to hold its head high when comparing its school .set-up with that of nei ghboring' South Carolina, it is a fact that South Carolina al ready has established a credi table merit system, and, in some localities at least pays the teachers each month of the year. These suggest ior.s s'eem quite worthwhile. If you haven't, it!s time to buy 3949 privilege licenses and high time to pay 1948 city ana county tax bills. In urging pay ment of 3948 property taxes the Herald is indirectly hurting it's business, for advertising of property for taxes is to begin scion However, it would suit the Herald fine if there were not one single delinquent tax b II To be advertised:' It "is good to see for warding for the improvements to West School. The birth rate, generally, and the 'growth of "West Kings Mountain as a res idential area, particularly, makes it a wonder that the im provements and additions cc^uld have been put off as long as they have. Good Investment Last week's Herald news re port that the Kings Mountain area citizens are keeping the county's T-B X~Ray machine quite busy is good news. Too often, as is basic in human na ture, people don't appreciate that which comes too earfy, to1! wit, that which they are given, i The fact that some 150 and' more persons receive free X-j Rays on each day the machine! is operated here bodes well for the campaign to wipe out tu berculosis from the community and county. y Medicine has alwsiys predica ted its theories on the basic homily that "an ounce of pre vention is worth a pound of; cure," and this has been prov ed especially tr(ie in tuberculo sis. Caught early, medical treatment can usually drive out and kill the germ. .. 'Thus the Jaycees of Kings Mountain and Shelby can take particular pride in their hard work to raise sufficient funds to purchase the machine, and the business and industrial firms whisb liberally provided these funds should feel a jus tifiable measure of pride too. ; Cardinal "Spellman is doing his church no service in his attacks on any any everupne (the latest have been Mrs. y Rooseveljt and Congressman BardenJ who oppose making federal funds available for sec tarian schools. Separation of church and state is a basic of the Constitution and with good grounds. History has proved thai the representatives of the church (never the church it self) can be the most tyrnanni cal of masters, given the power. Of course, the Herald can go a step farther than Cardinal Spellman! - It opposes federal aid to education to any school, . as another step in removing further personal autonomy from government. Local con trol of government breeds more i responsiveness to the people. | ..ii t Dr. Jacob P. Mauney, Kings Mountain veterinarian, didn't get the state veterinarian's job after all. it going to Dr. H. J. Rollins of Rockingham. Per haps the word got around that Dr. Mauney, even though * on the outer rim, was too close to Cleveland county. Recent ap-i pointm'ents out of Raleigh .have ? managed to miss Cleveland in toto. The Herald is ?somewhat glad, in a left-handed sort of, way, that Dr. Mauney did not! receive the appointment. As the only veterinarian in the Kings Mountain area. -Dir. Mauney renders a valuable ser vice. not to mention tne fact his regularly exhibited quali-; ties of good citizenship. Governor Scott never ceases to amaze. His "anti-petty graft campaign" is sure to elicit the praise and good Wishes of all good citizens. Success in thisi project would certainly savei the State of North Carolina: many a dollar. ' ?

S. C? on Thursday night and Bess, the 'res *. took advantage of the oc casion (as women sometimes ; . will) to act up in most capricious manner, Which meant the medici nal department arrived too late for the wedding, and almost too late for the reception, at least too late to meet Governor Thurmond, who i was attending. (I confess to even | more interest in meeting the Gov ernor's lovely lady than the gov ernor.) Though the ministerial knot-tying amalgamated repre sentatives of the unreconstructed South (the bride) and the damn yankee North . (the groom), there were other subtle hints, in addi tion to the presence of States Righter Thurmond, that the South was no* giving an inch.

All the time, a trusted employee was cruising around in the real get-away ve hicle.
