Proverbs 20:17. ? ^ Arms For Europe There has appeared more op position to the proposed pro gram of arms for European na tions signing thfc Atlantic Pact than first anticipated, and there has also been some poli tical maneuvering involved over how the arms shall be furnished. Th'e latter refers to the question of whether the Re construction Finance Corpora tion, a government lending agency, shall handle the funds and thus by-pass the congres sional appropriation commit tees. '! "The Herald tends to agree with Senator Maybank that the funds should be appropriated directly by Congress, for in the' end the taxpayers are going to pay the biH anyway, and' the more handling of the money the worse. ^ However, it is one appropri ation the American people should not oppose, and the ma jority do not. They realize that the friendly, anti-Communistic European nations who have signed the Atlantic Pact have invited Russia to make their countries the battlegrounds of a future war, should it come. Their risk is much greater than that of the United States, which, even with the advent of atom bombs and long-range bombers, still has miles of dis tance between it and a potent ial shooting enemy. The efforts, of the Woman's Club, in cooperation with Kings Mountain industrial plants, in assuring under-pri vileged Kings Mountain child ren a week at the Camp Chero kee day camp are indeed com mendable. The program of ac tivities is designed not only for fun and frolic, but also for in struction in nature lore and 'other subjects which are of ba sic importance and which are sometimes neglected in the so called modern world of com plex technology. ^ Plans are going forward for the Kings Mountain Junior Chamber of Commerce Air Show, scheduled for August 28, and it should be an interesting spectacle for Kings Mountain citizens. A treat is in store for Kings Mountain music lovers Friday night, when Miles Mauney plays a benefit piano concert for the DAR chapter. The fact that Mr. Mauney was reared in Kings Mountain adds much personal interest to the con cert to those who. ha\e not heard him play in a number of years. Athletic Program Announcement last week by the Mountaineer Club that it had virtually completed ar rangements for an inter-city grammar school football lea gue was unquestionably read with interest by sports-mind ed Kings Mountain. While the pre-high school program is not new generally, it is new in Kings Mountain, and is designed to provide the youngsters with some exciting) and interesting recreation and; physical development, as well1 as to give potential high school 1 athletes some advanced train- j ing. ..... Under the plan announced ' the juvenile teams will play, each other during the fall in .six public appearances, each a double-header tootball game, shorter, of course, than the; reguiation time. Our guess is that the specta tors will take to the juvenile exhibitions like a duck takes to, water, and that the results as far as future high school teams are concerned, will be quite satisfactory. It is a good program, and the Mountaineer Club deserves the support of the citizens. Inci dentally, the Club's member- 1 ship committee is ready to i write memberships for all cit- 1 izens who wish to aid local | amateur athletics. Opportunity Days I A large number of Kings Mountain merchants are join- ; ing together this weekend to| present the second large trade' event of the current year in ?Kings Mountain Opportunity Days. They have made special ef- 1 forts to obtain quality mer-j chandise at lower-than-market' prices, which they in turn are^ passing along to the public! Kings Mountain is fortunate in having the group of retail in terests here that is now repre sented. As has been remarked here before, Kings Mountain mer chants make it a policy to of fer good merchandise at fair prices, and they do not follow the questionable trade policy ? found in some cities ? of bal lyhooing inventories which in the flesh, fail to measure up. Our guess is that Kings Mountain area citizens will want to take advantage of sav ings being offered in Kings Mountain reail firms this week end. Our congratulations to Fai-| son Barnes, who has been elec ted president of the Clt*. eland Countv Young Democratic Club. ia YEARS AG O"??8 ??wr taken ,TO? th* III t u i c uiPFir ^939 *lles ot the Kings Moun 11^1 THIa WLLK tam Herald. - ? 1 11 1 !

Ker? Scott as Governor of North Carolina, though the Governor as sumes that the majority of the newspapers of the state are in the enemy camp ? as many of them are. They should be thankful though for the news-making ac tivities of the governor, for he sel dom opens his mouth tha^a good story doesn't com* out. We have had other news-making gover nors. but 1 doubht if til story will reveal any recent one. or even any since Zeb Vance, whose utteran ces are more headline making than those of Qov, Scott. c-e r : One et his moat recent was the I announcement that he meant to do something about court proce dure. The uunouncement had he left off some attendant remarks, would undoubtedly have been a bout the most pleaalng he has made to date, for many cltiiens have long felt that the state's court system (as well as court sys tems in general) are antequated and should be brought up to date. c-c As it turned -out the Gover nor's proposal Immediately got embroiled in politics when he said he didn't mean for the lawyers to have much say-so in the changes. Lawyers here have come in for some considerableamount of teas ing about the matter, and they have elsewhere. For the most part, the lawyers take the teasing in good grace and with a big laugh, but they unquestionably didn't like the slur at their profession. ' c-e Just what changes the gover nor (himkelf a dairyman) has in mind would be interesting to know, but bis wishes in revising procedure and custom seem to have some support In states other than our Tac Heel variety. e.e Judson Chapman, of the Green - ?ill* (S. C.) News, was Comment ing In his colmn recently on an editorial from the Memphis Press Scimitar. The Memphis paper wai calling for a change in the old fashioned and common sentence ; of "30 days or 30 dollars." It j seemed unfair to the Memphis ed- | itor that Just because a fellpw had j 30 bucks ho could walk up to the , desk, plank down those ton spots and walk away a fro* man., whereas the poor guy convicted for the same offense who didn't i have the 30 dollars had to forfeit i 30 days worth of freedom.1* The < Memphis writer was no Commu nist. and did not feel the money less mal-doer should go freo-for nothing, but he did feel that pay j rates should be adjusted. He. con tended that the 30 days policy was born in the good old days when a man's wages were something like on* dollar per day. On the basts of current wage rates, the Mem phis editor contended, the money less malcreant shouldn't have to give more than about five days of his freedom. This would com pare with the S30 paid by the fel low who had not spent his all. "c-c Mr. Chapman lent his voice to the appeal for revision, too. and that and of it seems rather fair to the medicinal department. c-c Much- attention has been given recently' to the cumbersome slow ness of the courts, particularly ta civil matters, and only last week Judge W. R. Babbitt was the sub ject of a commendatory editorial in the Castonia Oasette. after sur prising the dtlsenry by holding forth for virtually two full weeks at a civil term of superior court. As a usual custom, the first week of civil court winds up in two or three days, and, as the Gazette said, the second weelc of the term is usually a Joke. If the Judges would put in full time at their elected Jobs, the Gazette thinks, the dockets would be quickly cleared of old stuff and kept up to-date on the new. c-c Since Gov. Scott has dealt out the lawyers on the revision propo sition. on* wonders Just who will got the Job of working oat the court changes. The state's news paper gentry, trained to set forth a happening or idea In a mini mum number of words, have long secretly wished for the Job of re moving the "saids." and "w be ro ots. " and other familiar legalistic terms from the statutes, but it is doubtful Gov. Scott will 'call on them. ? i ' ; * c-c There is one thing I hope the Governor will not change and that is the official opening of court by the dork.
