H, Y. BELK ?And His News of Nebo Valley in last week's news report I didn't say Bland Webb, I said Mr. Bland Webb, the old show man. We don't drink beer slop .anymore, can't get it. Mr. Cole went fishing and caught 18 pounds. He gave me all the fish we could eat. They were fine I must say. Brand, wife and Pat, the Irishman went over inTen nessee fishing. Of all the fish got 'em big little. Mr. "Ware, wife little girls spent Sunday af ternoon with yours truly. Mrs. Hazel W are epeiii ijoiuniuy night in the City with Mrs. Sue Belk. An old bob cat took up in the barn. We just couldn't get rid of him, so we just named him Son Truman for short. He's not much of a cat Now if you want your hot wea ther clothes to fit better, feel ! cooler, and last longer for mercy sakes lets try never dolling up. C. J. Gault and sons sell it for less and its bfetter than the best They deliver quick and fast. Now they are cutting down and firing everything at the Town Hall. I be looking to be rolled out of my Job at the Herald office. Pray tell me, what will I do. I can't steal, I'm no good at fish ing, If I don't get fired may I see you next week. Let's see what we see. Well the TrumanrAcheson policy has been in Korea to fight hard up to the 38th parallel and then hand mat ters over to the new born U. N. and le*- them. take It to the de bating society at Lake Success, while almost 75,000 of our Amer ican boys are reported killed in action or froze to death last winter. Don't you really believe some of the great quotations of American history should be re vived. Like George Washington, who said before the battle of Trenton: We shall not cross the Delaware and attack the Hes sians tonight for. it might pre cipitate an all-out war with the Duke of Hessie. Or in the im mortal words of Nathan Hale could exclaim: I regret I have but one country to give to the United States, or like Captain Lawrence: Don't give up the ship.

No he didn t. People who complain that our local paper doesn't print all the nf?W?.it d 1,0 g,ad ^at it does gets my goat: they are fighting over there and thinking over here. What a paradox; and this is new deal administration: idealism: If you have two goats, you milk them both, use all the milk you need and have enough! left for everyone else. Socialism: If you have two cows, you keep one and give the other to your neighbor. Socialism: if you have I bot?i, are confiscated. Imperialism: If you have two 5?wf* y?u steal somebody's bull. Nazism: If you have two cows the goverment shoots one and takes the other. Realism: If you I have two cows and they're both dry, no good. Right now, did you know our government officials are having the time of their lives. They fly 17 ??j *y night. All over the world taking, their families or I some other woman along.

S?me Jokes never grow old. rhis one goes back to ancient I ureece. One evening a young wo man and a handsome young man were walking along a count? road. The lad was carrying a large jar on his shoulder, holding a chicken in one hand, a shep herd s crook in the other and lad tag a goat. They came to a long dark lane. Said the girl: I'm afraid to walk here with you you may try to kiss me. Said the can 1 with a11 these things I m carrying. Well you can stick the crook in the ground, tie tfie goat to it, and put the chicken under the jar. So he got the kiss, How many I don't know. During one of the periodic probes of Tammany machina tions in New York politics, a vote gatherer under fire was asked. Did you ever steal an elec tion? No was Mr. Bland's reply. I always pay for the votes I get Oh, I don't belive anyone would stoop so low as to steal a man's I vote. If he would I'm sure he I would steal a sheep. I do know | just after the war between the I states, a lot of stealing went on. l^e,.poor 8laves were punished. While the white folks were do ling the stealing. I Many people I find are fright |ened because Russia has the ato mic bomb. Many people believe that the strength of America lies in pur having a bigger part of the killing bomb than Russia can ever make. Who was it said ex ternal vigilance is the price of liberty. American strength al ways lay In the faith we cher ish. The atomic bomb cannot take the place of family prayers with an abiding faith In man and God- It Is said that discontent Is the first step In the progress of man. Truer words were never spoken, as we journey down life's PJth-y.we live not by right but _i by faith In God and right has been molded into the greatest civilization on earth. What did Paul have to say when h?gaye the definition of faith. Now faith Jn the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. If this war, is as long and as grim as expected, the government will eventually tell ev?y farmer what to plant and when to plant It until every per ?on is where must work or fight. And what prices and wages he can earn. This Is a free for all fight, see. A full-fledged war moriger is *? low-down that he would have !,? fn * ?>ck wall to shake hands with ? rattle-snake. Here's ^ou can>t answer. When everybody gets on the re ceiving end of social security, GETS TROPHY ? Bill Myers, a bove, Winston-Salem driver, was awarded the most popular driver award, a handsome trophy, last Saturday night lust before the feature sportsmen's stock race at Bowman Gray stadium in Win ?ton -Salem. Myers rates as one of the faro rites for the 25 -lap fea ture Saturday night in the sportsmen's ranks, but a 40-lap championship race is also sched uled for the amateurs. who in the heck fire is going to | carry the ball? It was shakes peare who said two women plac ed together make cold weather just like two new dealers placed in office makes many hot promi ses, but they soon cool off. A fellow in town tells me a stray cat has recently took up in his office, and he has named it Tru man because he can't get rid of It An exchange says we are keep ing up too many birds in Wash ington, Let's all cheer him. John L. Lewis once said if he were ap pointed dog catcher by Harry Truman, the dog department would lead the State Department in brains. Still that's not brag ging much. Is it possible that these 18,000 people signed up for reservations on the first rocketi ship to fly from the earth to the moon. Either these people are op tomists as they are trying to get away from the atom bomb. Can't you remember the old days when we debated on which came first the chicken or the egg. We know the answer now. Neither is the New Deal tax collector. Can't you see. Don't put off sending that sub- 1 scription in. We've got some hot 8 tuff a -cooking that will do the work. Look out lor the fireworks later. We urge every reader to send us one subscriber by next issue. If you wish to do"well. What are the outstanding char acteristics of Mr. Truman: I am asked (1) making, his friends popping mad or (2) cursing con gress. A henpecked neighbor tells me that after listening to his wife's nagging all day long on Sunday he isn't so sure the constitution is right in guaranteeing freedom of speech. What mak?*s women that way? Can't help it. This boasted Harry Truman is prosperity: Topped up beef stake to $1.30 a pound. Now It has the bewildered housewife wondering If the whole thing isn't a fraud. Ask H. S. T. he can tell you. The only way to win the battle is to go to work all along the line. When Harry wields his veto | clubs on Bills that Congress pas ses, he intimates the solon boys | are a bunch of stupid asses. I better stop my time 's up. So long ? Mr. Webb. I LOVE THE RAIN I love to watch Its daylight glitter. I love to here it's drip-drap. At night against the window pane. I love best to see i A drenching storm. Where the lightning flashes And the thunder rolls. Where God whispers Above nature's forces Thunder's the grower of nature Lighting is the killer. Salisbury Team Begins Training At Camp York By ERNEST W. COOLER, JR. PARK SUPERINTENDENT Things aren't quite the same at Camp York in Kings Mountain State Park. Instead of the usual group of young people studying nature, arts and crafts, group games, etc. The camp is occupied by the Boy [den high school football team, of Salisbury- The boys arrived Wed nesday, immediately began a fourteen day period of rugged training under Coach Bill Lud wig and his assistants. Their day begins at 5:30 in the morning and is not over until 6:00 in the af ternoon, and it is a full day with plenty of skull practice and drill. Coach Ludwig pointed out that such training in secluded Camp York pays off.

Last season, after a similar cam ping period, the team won seven out of nine games, a good record ifor any team. Kings Mountain State Park, lo cated in the northwest part of York County, plays host to hun dreds of campers each summer. However, most of them are not football players but youngsters seeking wholesome recreation in the great out-of-doors.
