Lamenta TIODb Right Track If it is productive of results, a meeting held on October 30th', should go down 'as a red-letter gathering in the city's his tory. At the suggestion of the Kiwanis club public affairs corpmittee, similar repre sentatives from other civic and service organizations, the City of Kings Moun tain has embarked on a Chamber of Commerce type of job in an effort to se cure a bus station. It was the decision of the group to seek action of the North Carolina Public Utilities commission in compelling the bus operators to provide suitable facil ities for the convenience of their passen genrs, and it appears that this is the only possible avenue by which the desired re sults are obtainable. North Carolina law requires that car riers supply adequate facilities for their passengers, and, though there appears a loophole in the law concerning econ omic feasibility, it would seem that the erection of a bus terminal here would be in line with operation of a bus com pany, particularly in a city of this size and served by as many schedules. As reported previously in both the news and editorial columns Of this paper, the bus companies have expressed com plete unwillingness to spend any money whatsoever in providing these facilities. They agree that a bus terminal is needed and most desired, but they want some one else to invest the capital and without any risk to the bus operators. Our congratulations to the Kiwanis i-Iub for its interest in this matter and to the city board of commissioners for tackling the problem. The effort to ob tain bus terminal facilities certainly comes under the heading of "activity for the public welfare". Our sidewalk bus station was bad enough during the warm months, but is virtually unbeara ble during the cold and rain of winter. Road Money Currently getting the headlines is the report of a committee from the North Carolina League of.. Municipalities rec ommending that the State Highway & Public Works commission take over the job of paving and maintaining city streets. The report is a further projection of efforts, over the course of many years, of the cities and towns of the state, to get a share of the money collected by tlte state in gasoline taxes. " Governor Scott has already candidly replied that taking over the city streets will require more money.' In turn, there, is no unanimous agree ment (Hi the report", and it is hardly like ly that the 1 95 1 General Assembly will enact the recommendations into law. The Herald doubts that they should be, Unt.il 1945), the cities were allocated their share of a million-dollar kitty for gasoline tax revenues for street work, and this fund was raised to two and one half millions by the 1910 General Assem bly. Actually, this money is n book cre dit, and expense of maintaining high ways through cities is charged to the account. What is left can be used for ei ther streets. However, the credits are' not carried forward, and the problem is for the highway commission to find the time to devote to city streets. The Herald has long thought that as much as one cent of the gasoline tax should accrue to the cities. The Herald also feels that a city's credit balance at the end of each fiscal year should be paid to the cities in cash, with the pro vision that it be used only f<jr street work. Removing the street business from the city to the state would further remove this function of government from the people, and it is hard to see where much good could come from it. Currently underway, or about to start, are three fund-raising campaigns which merit the full support of the commun ity. There is the Jacob S. Mauney Memo The Korean Wat Participation of Chinese troops again st the United Nations forces in the Ko rean fighting has greatly changed the complexion of the war which had ap peared to be virtually at an end only a short time ago. Already there had been exhibited evi dence of slackening off of demand for men and war materials ? at least for the Korean front ? but the entrance into the fighting by troops of the Chinese Peo- ? pie's Republic, as that government calls itself, has changed the headlines again. On Sunday, the newspapers noted that the draft calls will be greater, and most people anticipate a tightening of restric tions on civilian commodities in the near future. The Chinese action is understandable, in view of the obvious friendship, per haps subservience, of the Chinese lead ership to 'instructions from Moscow. It is not understandable from the standpoint of Communist China's insis tence that she be seated as a member of the United Nations. The New York Times remarks:. "It is bitterly ironic that this operation should be conducted by the very regime that has so arrogantly and persistently asserted its right to be seated as a mem ber of the United Nations. In the whole topsy-turvy of the present scene there is surely no stranger mode of trying to ? win friends and influence nation's. The Chinese Communists can hardly expect that, having failed to demand their way into the United Nations, they can shoot their way into it by an assualt on United Nations forces in the field. ? "Their Tibetan aggression has already resulted in a noticeable cooling- off of their Indian apologists and supporters. Their Korean adventure is not likely to gain for them any new friends to replace the Indians. Membership in the United Nations is presumably based on willing ness to support the organization. Throw ing troops and weapons against it is an 1 extraordinary fashion in which to show this support, to say the least." China's participation in the Korean War is disheartening to the portion of the world which wants peace. Further, it is an indication that Russia, in spite of the embarrassment of her North Ko rean satellites, can still call the tune and get other nations to push her policy of aggression, which is aggression of the least costly kind, . Our congratulations to Lawrence E. Abbo.tt. \vho has been elected president of the Kings Mountain Kiwanis club for 1051. Mr. Abbott has been a very active member of the club for several years, heading many of its major projects. It is easy to predict that the Kiwanis club will record another successful year of service under the leadership of Mr. Ab bott. A best bow to Theodore E. Moss, who has compiled Ihe unusual record of 25 years of perfect attendance at Sunday school. Few people have the interest to exert themselves to attend Sunday school over such a long period, particu larly when the weather is bad or when other matters intervene. All would do well to follow Mr. Moss' example. rial Library book fund drive, the* fund campaign 'for the Girls Scouts, and the sale of Christmas seals for the benefit of the Cleveland County Tuberculosis as sociation. As is customary, fund-raising campaigns seem to run into each other, causing some citizens to give voice to that old remark, "There's something to give to all the time." Actually, it has been some months since any fund-rais ing drive was conducted here. And most people find, too, that, when totaling their donations at year's end. the figure is not too great after all. All the funds are needed and all operate to the benefit of this community. These campaigns should be liberally supported. 1 A YEARS AGO Items of newt taken from the 1940 filet of the X Vr THIS WEEK Klngt Mountain Herald.

The gain for nine months was 40 per cent. A sharply increased income means demands from stockhol ders for larger and extra divi dends; which many of them are gettjng, but , they have received only 10 per cent of the windfall. Corporation director's are incli ned to plow back the balance, in to the business rather than bor rowing or selling securities. Labor leaders will also -be in terested in the larger earnings for they will tend to fortify their contention that corporations can increase wages without Jacking up prices. Congress will be more interest ed in the swollen income than either for greatly increased ap propriations are going to be nec essary to finance the defense pro gram. WASTEFUL PRACTICE (Frankfort, Ky., State Journal) Don't burn the trash off your fields this fall. When straw, corn stalks and other crop residues go up in smoke, you lose valu able nitrogen. In addition, you destroy organic matter vital to 'soil rebuilding and crop produc tion. I Burning the stalks of a 100 | bushel corn crop costs you 6,500 pounds of organic matter and 55 pounds of nitrogen, reports the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee, based on estimates by agronomists. When you light a match to straw from a 30- bushel wheat crop, 21 pounds of nitrogen and one-and-half tons of organic matter are destroyed. Straw from 25 bushels of soybeans returns 20 pounds of nitrogen and a ton of organic matter to the soil. It takes more effect to plow these materials than to burn them, but an extra 10 to 20 bush els of corn per acre and a more fertile soil should be worth the extra trouble. If you don't plow down trash, the best practice is to leave it on the surface. It will slow down water run -off and erosion. It will : help save more moisture, for | crop production. Tests are under way to improve the quality of present apples by increasing their vitamin C con tent, adding the spice- like flavor of the better English varieties, and imparting the smooth, after cooking flesh texture of certain of the German and Newland ap ples. Limited tests indicate that fer tilizer bags made of vat-dyed or printed cotton fabrics may have approximately the same re-use value as similar bags now widely used for storing and shipping flour and feed. Chick placements in the Cha tham-Wilkes commercial broiler areas for the week ending Octo ber 21 were 37 per cent above those for the same period last year.

Archdale Farms Letter To Editor I am writing this letter to ed itors and news directors ait over North Carolina in the hope that you may help to prevent what we consider an injustice to tea chers. Knowing the interest of the press and radio in public ed ucation, we do not hesitate to speak frankly. Of course, you may disagree with what we say. The contigent salary for tea chers provided by Section 20 has been much in the news late ly. When the checks paying this promised salary are distributed in December, the event will be on the front pages again. Repor ters, headline writers, and news casters will call it everything from a "pay hike" to a "bonus." We will not argue too much about calling, it a "pay hike," though we hope it will be kept in mind that the "hike" was granted on April 22, 1949. over a year and a half ago. What we object to is calling it a "bonus." Nowhere in Section 20 V4 is the term '*bonus" used. When teachers receive these checks, they will be receiving salaries provided by the 1949 General Assembly. These contin gent salaries could have been paid on June 30, 1950, as provi ded by law; and we feel that they should have been paid. We feel that ft will be grossly unjust to teachers if the public ^gets the impression that the tea chers are receiving a "Christmas bonus." There is a vast differen ce between getting a "Christmas bonus" and in waiting until Christmas to receive salaries that by law should have been paid in June. In the interest of justice and accuracy, we hope you will keep these facts in mind In reporting the payment of the contingent salary. We will be glad to hear your reaction to this letter.
