H. Y. Belk ? AND HIS NEWS OP NEBO VALLEY Little Miss Susie Llngerfeldfc from Shelby spent last week with her fatherland his wife In Kings Mountain. I'm stlkl complimenting old Bed Layton. Red , you surprised me and shocked the town hall. Come On Bed. 'Did you know when you have your clothes cle aned at Weav er's y o u feel better. T e y wear better and l?:>ok better. It coats no more to get the best at Weaver's. . Still went over the hill. Now he takes over the town hail. Let's give him a big hand, Mr. Davis did as well. He went over the top to the town hall. We send In our compli ments to both of these good men. Out here Its hot as the Fourth of July blled down. It's, scorch ing. Oh, well, Just stay In the shade of a tree. Yes, but It's so dry one can't make his own cal culations. A'bout like everything else its about rained out. Plenty good people to cause it to rain, tout they are afraid it might rain on the other feilow. Many folk^ wou'ld be glad for the atom toomb to fall on those they didn't like If they could step out tff the way. We can't have It our way. See, Brethern now that the election Is over and the dye has been cast, and the smoke of battle Is clearing away, and the political students >are now raking through the smuth erlng ashes to see just what caused forecasters to put forth so many concise predictions that didn't come true. Some still have red faces over the termination of what never could happen, but did. Most folks contented them selves that the results would be close, yet facts show they were not ?o close. Now If Mr. Still keeps his word, which he will, we will all pay less for lights and water. But was that a warm race. The weatherman on that election day In May had his reading up to 90 in the shade, and it was much hotter in Kings Mountain. They planned It that way. We can't build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and indepen:_ dcnce. "We can't further the bro-' therhood of man toy insisting on, class hatred. They can't lead the town or city without the good will of the people and their co operation. We can't establish sound social security on borrow ed money. You can't stay out of Mr. Garland K debt by spending more than your Income. - You cant strong the weak by weakening the strong. You can't help little men by tear ing down big men. You and me can't get to heaven by serving the devil. You got to serve the Lord, creator of earth and all things. Alter the first atomic bomb was dropped at Hiroshima, 'scien tists liew to -Japan to inspect ute damage. They started at the central point ot destruction and walked Slowly away noting the places where the devastation | ^emed to lessen. Alter walking 1 a mile and half, they came to a house which was still habitable, i ney noticed that the upper win dowrf were still intact, although the lower ones were shattered out. This; they decided, was im portant. They knockejl on the door. A Woman came out dnd bowed. They pointed to the low er shattered windows. "Atomic bomb?" they inquired. She shobk her head and smiled and said, "Small boy." 1 have known small boys to tare down worse than atomic bombs. Small boys are like Helium. It's almost com pletely inert and will not com bine with other elements to pro duce a chemical reaction. Boys always have the reaction. Then what about girls? Oh, they don't react, they act all the time. It Is illegal to have any counterfeit money in your possession? even if It is 150 years old. I've met lots of counterfit women though. What does the law do about that. Nothing. They just let. 'em coun terfeit right on. Versions of the Cinderella Sto ry have been found in Egypt ?nd Rome. :_K A good deal <>' this Broadcast has appeared in my columns be fore, but much of it is so vital It is worth repeating. The man who snoozes on while the stornr washes the foundation of his house away needs to be awak ened by a thunder bolt. The pity is that far too many are sleep ing while our nation Is headed on . the rocks. Why can't you and I do 'like this man who borrowed seeds from Uncle Sam. He was a New Deal man, who has Just set uo a big factory. Why can't we all do as well? Well, you must be a hundred percent New Dealer. I'm not commenting on .this high handed spending any more until June. Just wait and we shal see what Harry tells us next. It may be another high tax bill. One day soon the working man and the woman, too, may have to p"ut out half what he makes. No, they will take It out after they aweat It out. No fault of the folks In the ?weat-shop*. They don't aee but about two thirds of what they make. ???n they won't see but haJf. They voted it that-a-way but dldnt know It at the time. "Eve was made from Adam's rib," said the surgeon. "Yes, that was a surgical operation." "Year ? agreed the architect, "?but prior to that, order was cre ated out of chaos and that was an architectural Job." , "But," said the politician proudly, "Somebody created the chaos." "Mama," said little Mary, "who brought me?" "The stork brought you my darling.'' said ! the mother. 'We'M, how did you 1 come, Mother?" "Well, we all come the same old way.". Having heard of an old man in the south mountains who had reached his hundred and ninth year, who had never touched strong drink, a temperance com mittee went to the old man's i home to get a statement to that effect. They t raped the old man up in bed and guided his feeble trembling hand a'long the dotted line. Just then they were startled by a violent 'disturbance in the next room. Scuffing heavy furni ture, and the breaking down of beds. "Good heavens," gaffed a committeeman. "What's that!" "Oh," whispered the old man, as he sank back exhausted after the effort of signing his name, 'IWvats Dad. He's drunk again.'^One thing sure an old man never gets too old to get drunk. * Rear Admiral Clark Howell Woodward was detailed once to extend an official welcome to a President of Nicarragua who was visiting New York. The ' admiral dressed in all his gold braid and ribbons was leaving the Waf dorf- Astoria for the station when a drunk on the sidewalk hailed him. "Hey You, Cali me a taxi." Woodward gave the drunk man his best quarterdeck glare. "Sir," he snapped. "I'M have you know that I am an admiral in the Uni ted States Navy." "All right," agreed the drunk, admirably, "then ca'll me a boat." A drunk always figures he's smarter than the other fellow. A drunk woman Is hard to beat. Now If you think you're smart, I dori't. Ninety per cent of the weight of the human brain is water. Statistics reveals. More premature babies are born in May than in any other month in the year. The Chinese Language Is spo ken by more people thau any other language in the world. I'm glad- I wasn't born down under the world. With all them millions of rat eating skunks, we are lucky. . V - | George McManus has a story about a drunk who staggered from a tavern and started .walk ing with one loot in the street and one of the sidewalk. After a block or two, a policeman spotted him. "Hey, Sir!" the cop said "You're drunk." The drunk sigh ed wiih relief. "Gosh" he said "ls that's what's wrong; I thought I was lame." When he isn't Officiating or a diplomat, Tom Blake o t the, State Department, collects drunlc stor ies. One of his favorites goes like this: A drunk goes into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender, a very law-abiding guy, says toe 4a n't serve hhn because its il legal to sell a drink to a gent who Is already slopped all up. The drunk asked. He says if you wil sell me a drlng I'll give you a nice present. Whereupon the drunk pulled out a live crawling lofbster. This Ib a beautiful pre sent, exclaimed the bartender. I'M Jake him home for dinner. Aw says the drunk he's 'had dinner. Just take him to a movie. Well as you know, this week's column is being devoted to drunks. In all ages men have ?been getting drunk. Not Just the poor feeble minded, but some of the country's master - minded men. back In ancient history. Women never got drunk. Since modern time, women take to the bottle same as men. They don't mean to get high, but another drink and they will cry for the bottle. Uncle Sam has, millions of gallons made to serve the pub lic no special brand. For women they drink any kind. Our old gal said to me '1 prefer no cer tain brand, but if I can get It, white whiskey. I like the best ? It kicks farther and don't make one quite so sick." They were serving mine: Din ner was over and the guests had assembled in the living room. They were discussing the trust worth iness of men and women. One man said, no drunk woman can possibly keep a secret, or be . trusted. A woman replied: Well I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-six. I'm sure you'll let it out one day, said the man. No I won't answered the woman. I've kept it a secret now for fifteen years. I'm sure I can keep it for ever. She come very near telling it. ;? Maybe we'd better dismiss to day's session, and leave It with the women to do as they please. They will do that any way. Pj5. don't forget to go fishing and ketch all the frogs you can- I mean bull -frogs. They are'so de licious, better than white whis key. She was telling Us ?*bout frogs. What, lovely white gigs ? that's a plenty for now.
