Ike Coming Home The speculations i that General Eisen hower would leave his European post in time to do some campaigning for the Re publican nomination for president have been proved correct. Come June 1, General Eisenhower will retire from his job and' come home to campaign. How he will fare in the political wars is of interest to every man, woman and child, for he may well occupy the White House for the four years beginning next January. Two hurdles are on the obstacle course, first the convention fight, then, if he has won. the general election with whomever the Democrats nominate. General Eisenhower was a most suc cessful WOrld War II administrator, never holding command of an unsuccess ful campaign.' However, he was blessed with a loaded team of all political faiths, plus the necessary material. In the political war he is about to en ter formally, the question to be. answer-' ed is whether he has enough ammuni tion. He is going to be asked many questions before the Chicago GOP gath ering. Perhap-. his answers will give an insight into What he thinks the nation's . domestic course should be, the nation al ready assuming that he is a supporter of the Truman administration's European foreign policy, at least. Enviable Record Thirty years is a long time to conduct well' any task, even for bread-and-butter, but for a task in which there is no re muneration for hard work except per sonal satisfaction in a job well-done it measures even longer.1 Thus the retirement of W. S, Fulton, Sr., -as treasurer of Boyce Memorial As sociate Reformed Presbyterian church, at the end of three decades in the posi tion marks Mr. Fulton as the holder of a record of service of u hieh any could be proud. Mr. Fulton has always taken a keen interest in his work. He has collected the pledges with dijigenee, .paid the bills with promptness and, in addition, has kept the. church physical plant in 'excel lent repair. Our congratulation's to him on an out standing record ol service, and to his .son,' W. S. Fulton. Jr., who has the equip merit to Continue the fine record of his father. The OPS lias halved its field service due to the high percentage of compli ance with the regulations. Dislriet Di rector Hay Shute reports. Nothing sur prising about the compliance an pricing, the merchants tell us, adding that allow able (IPS prjees would merely collect dust on the price fags. Goods in Kings Mountain stores are priced much below OPS allowances. Our sympathies to the family of Pfc. Elmer G. Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hoyle Allen of Grover, \\ ho has been re ' ported killed in action in Kcjjca. See "The Campbell's Are Coming", next production of the Kings Mountain Little Theatre, which is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday evening at the nigh school auditorium. Attend the Spring concert of the high' school mixed chorus Thursday evening. The varied program is designed to ap peal to all, and these high schoolers can really make good music. Bus Station Blues When will the Kings Mountain Bus Terminal be opened? ; . That is a good question and one which should not be necessary, it would seem, after more than two years of stalling by bus companies operating through Kings Mbuntain. V. Only as a result of heavy pressure ap plied by two city administrations has the bus terminal possibility advanced as far as it has, which, of course, leaves the finishing touches much to be desired. Queen City Coach Company finally assumed the responsibility, purchased suitable property, and has erected a building, which, to all appearances will be qdite adequate, when and if it is open ed. Why the delay ? Outside construction is' finished, ex cept fur the paving of the unloading areas. Inside construction is finished, : except for putting in~the necessary coun ters, scats and other accoutrements. According to information from former operators who were approached as pos sible tenant-: imagers of the new termi nal, the rental figure was quite frighten ing. They turned it down cold, and with seeming good reason. Meantime, the bus companies are still breaking the city ordinance many times daily by-.on-street loading and unload ing, in violation of a sensible law passed as a safety measure. The city board of commissioners should renew it's appeal to the Utilities Commission to get the terminal into operation, fortifying the appeal with the necessary legal weapons. Sneaky Killer Members of the Kings Mountain Sen ior Woman's Club, headed by a commit tec which includes Mrs: . George' W. Allen, chairman, Mrs. W. W. Tollesons I and Mrs, J. 11. Arthur, began work this ! week on. a task In which they should have full cooperation in accomplishing. It is the annual local appeal for funds ; for the American Cancer Society, an or- ? SunUation which devotes its work to re- j search to determine 1) means of dis I'overi.nl earner in time to save the pa- j tient; 2) means of discovering improved j methods of treatment, and 3) 'to provide j service to the cancer patient. Cancer is a dread word. Some families are still reluctant to report that a death j among their kin was caused by cancer. But the real dread is because cancer, | in its latter stages, is a killer. Once upon :a time, all cancer was a killer, but re seaivh is now paying off. It is still a sneaky killer. Persons who appear outwardly well and personally unaware of any discomfort can find themselves victims of the disease a short time later, and cancer is listed by the figuring experts as the No, 2 killer among diseases. A quota of $750 is not a large amount to ask to aid the work of the American Cancer Societv. i I Today Davidson school will hold a 1 pre school c linic for children .planning to enter the lirst grade next fall. It will he the first in a series of such clinics at all city schools. Park Grace school, in the county system, has already held its clinic. Parents of youngsters becoming six years of age by next. October 2 should plan their schedules to include taking the children to these clinics. East school's clinic is next Wednesday.

MARTIN'S MEDICINE ?Y Martin Hannoa Ingredient ?: bita of uevw, wisdom, humor, and comment. Direction ?: Take weekly , i/ p ossible, but avoid overdosage. Smiles The art of smiling is a fairly. . we}l developed one, but an art In which more, work could be done. Fortunately, practicing and studying the art of smiling requires nd, monthly fees to a private tutofr. All that is re quired is a mirror an& a little practice. As the old song indicates, there are many kinds of smiles, those that make us glad, those which make Us sad, and those which fill our hearts witfc sun shine. There are Rmlles of satis faction, smiles of hate, smiles of greed, smiles of friendliness. / -i? ! But it's the friendly kind that needs developing. ' For some folk, smiling domes naturally, it seems, from the. time they're knee-high to a duck. For others, smiling has to be a developed habit. For others, smiling never comes, like the old movie dead-pan comedians Ned Sparks antf Bus ter Keaton. Ane or the other to these two, I don't remember which, supposedly never smiled in private life either, always retaining character. This would indeed be a hard job for most people; for something is always happening to tickle the funny bone. And. when the funnybone ? gets'tickled, the lips spread and the teeth shine in a big smile. The teeth, of course, are an important ingredient in the smiling business, and some peo: pie are handicapped because of their chompers. A young maid blessed with pretty teeth can flash a smile on any and all occasions. A young maid un blessed will end up, sooner or later, spending a lot ofjimo-4n her dentist's chailC~For those who can afford it, the invest ment is invaluable at an early age, for as any practical mother will explain, the investment and its results may determine whether the darling daughter marries in the "Chevrolet-Ford class, or in the Cadillac class. All women prefer the latter, though like a foundering ship, it sornetirrirs looks like it's any old port in a storm, from the looks of some the males the ladyfolk rope in. -s Incidentally, the dentists think that worldwide use of fluorides in water would elimi nate a considerable amount of their grinding work and -would leave the spare time for "beau tificatiori" work. Of course, they don't call it that, but it is. ? s The eyes figure into the smil ing business, too. To continue on the woman getting her man theme, smiling can be greatly effective, or ineffective, accord ing to the use of the peepers. A love-sick young man can be thrilled ? by a smile from the lady stringing bim up. but a slight accompanying flutter of the eyelashes can send chills up his spine. ? s Not much can be done for the eyes, but the sales of tweezers. Maybelline, Mascara and other related products indicate what status of high level importance grooming of the eyebrows takes in the feminine world. I can't say I'd blame the ladyfolk either, for wouldn't a woman be a pretty sight with eyebrows iikefJohn I*. Lewis wears? ? s Many famous people have been noted for their smiles. The late President Roosevelt always had on his best "face" when wearing the smile of good hum or. Most of the motion picture stars owe much of their success to their smiles. Would Clatk Gable ever have captured the hearts of millions of feminine moviegoers without his smile? Would Lana Turner or Jane Russell dittoed on the male, operators without their smiles? (The answer to the first gues< tion is an unqualified "no"; the answer to the second guestion Is "Well. 1 dun no . . . "> Like most habits, good and bad, temperance is to be recom mended, though it is harder to overdo the smile than, say, smoking, eating and drinking. However, none wants to be call ed "Laughing girl" or "Laugh ' ing boy. 'i At fhe moment. Kings Moun tain and the Piedmont section is witnessing the smile of birds chip, and most people ex Spring. The leaves open up,. the hibit an extrA portion of gaity. For my money. Spring is na ture's nicest smile. CROSSWORD By A. C. Gordon ] ACROSS 1? Involved la ? ctUm 2 ? A legal deed or bond 1 ?

Senate investigating commit tees and criminologists worry about the extent of crime, vio lence and juvenile delinquency in America. Sociologists worry about the break-up of family as an in stitution and the lessening influ ence of the home in American life. Even parents sometime worry about what their children may be doing. O/ie solution to all these wor ries is that pleasant, old-fashioned custom of the family picnic. Have you tried one this spring? When the sun Is shinning bright and the tender leaves are breaking out op all the trees, pack your young sters in the car some Sunday a f ter church. Be sure to take along plenty of sandwiches and fruit and cold drinks. Or wrap up some hot dogs or steaks or hamburger that can be cooked on sticks over an open fire. Call in another fam ily with their children, too. Then find a secluded country road and head for the woods or a sunny hilltop or a meandering stream. The grown folks can rest their backs against a tree or stretch out on a blanket ? and doze or talk as their relaxed minds may suggest. Meanwhile the youngsters can explore the woodr or stream*. hunting for spring flowers or birds or pine I cones, playing in the sand, maybe dabbling in the water if the day is warm enough. A cheerful camp fire improves the scene and makes a fine place for cooking hot d"o:s or toasting marshmal lows. And nothing restores the sense of family unity more than such a joint undertaking, where every body is happy and each member of the family can go about his own amusement without disturb ing anybody else. There are the memories children- take with them into adult life. These are the means of binding a family into a closely knit unit with common memories and common interests. Picnics are kieal for soothing the over-stimulated modern nerves too accustomed to movies and the television and the radio. Juvenile delinquency does not grow in the eoii of family picnics! . Small wheat harvests in Argen- 1 tina and Australia are expected to i strengthen the export demand for | U. S. wheat. However, Canada has j moved large quantities into ship- 1 ping positions and will offer irt-j creased competition, Traveling salesmen were in volved in the least number of fa tal traffic accidents than any oth^r class of driver in North Carolina last ytc??.

Kings Mountain Drag Company THE REXALL STORE Phones 41 ? 81 We Call For and Deliver PREDICTIONS (Rutherford County News) Quick (weekly magazine) makes the following predictions: Harold Stassen will pull out of the race for the Republican Piesi dential nomination. Before returning home next month to campaign, Gen. Eisen hower will visit capitals of all 11 European NATO countries to thank government leaders for help in the last year. Gen. MacArthur, in his quiet bid for the Republican nomina tion, will point to hi-. land reform program in Japan as indicating his ability to solve farm problems ? although he has had no other farm experience. When Churchill steps out, Chancello of the Exchequer R. A. Butler will vie with Anthony Eden for leadership of the British TOfies. House tax scandal probers will end their Work in May with a re port urging laws to prevent furth er scandals. ? Russia will force Czechoslova kia's Premier Zapotocky tq, re sign, place the entire government under Soviet bosses. Local and state public building projects will increase. Reason: 1) more metal available; 2) easing of restrictions on bond issues. Cotton farmers won't plant as much as the Agriculture Dept. has asked. With the lowest cotton carry over in years, this, means there'll be a tight cotton market. Stocks of canned and frozen vegetables generally are well above a year ago. Canners and freezers probably will not seek to contract as large acreages as last year, and pfices'offered farm ers may average a little lower. k Farmer Makes Plans to Increase Income Plans to incrase his farm in come from less than $1,000 to a rourd $3,500 per year have been worked out toy Harvey Spencer, Negro farmer of Route 1, Kerr. According to Frank Falson. Sampson County Negro farm age nt for the State College Exten sion Service, Spencer has a 35 acre farm. With the assistance of Falson and W. L. Turner, Ex tension farm management spec ialist, he has worked out a five year plan designed to raise his net income. J--"' ' Spencer believes he can carry out all practices listed In his plan. He will attempt to raise his tobacco yield from 1,300 to 1,700 pounds per .acre and his corn yield from 35' to 60 bushels per acre. He will increase his laying flock from 75 to 500, and his number of brood sows from two to five. In addition, he will seed several acres 1 of improved pasture -to supplement the five acres which he sowed last fall. There were more persons kill ed in U.
