Aug. 2. 0F It'i been three years since Cra ven county commissioner Tom Haywood built his self-kicking machine. And this fourth summer It's being used more than ever be fore, although some skeptics had predicted at first its novelty would soon wear off. Perhaps you don't know what a self-kicking machine is and have never heard of Tom Haywood's? Well, when you have done something that you feel you shouldn't have, and want to kick yourself for it, Haywood's mi' chine will do it for you. The self-kicking machine was erected July 21, 1937. on high. way 70, often called "North Carolina's Broadway." Thou. sands of persons have used the machine since. The machine is still going strong after three years, although Haywood has had to install a new belt, and a third set of new shoes will have to be added In a few weeks. Haywood says one reason for his machine s increasing popu larity Is but let him tell it: "Some of us who have been kicking previously about Amer ica and our form of government are now kicking ourselves after seeing the condition of other countries. We are finding that we are the ones that should be kicked, not our American gov. ernment." ? - "?.;V.5 - ill I I LOWER KLAMATH AREA YIELDS EVIDENCES OF PREHISTORIC PEOPLE ed to work today aa employers and officials of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union (AT.
