Consolidation Questions Still Not Answered Still awaiting word from the state board of education, mem bers of a majojrity of th^ school committees involved met at Beth ware school Monday night and continued discussion of the pro-, posal to consolidate Number Four Township schools into a single administrative unit. It was the fifth meeting of the group sin<Je the proposal was ap proved by the Cleveland Countv board of education, which turned over the job of affecting consoli dation to the districts involved. After the first meeting of the township school committees at Grover school on May 25, it was | decided to request information pertinent to consolidating proce dure from the state attorney gen eral through state school offi cials. Superintendents J. H. Grigg, of Cleveland County, and B. N. Barnes, of the Kings Mountain district were asked to write for the information. At the second meeting, held at Bethware on June 8, the two men reported receipt of a letter from state school officials "asking more questions (aboui consolida tion) than we had asked". Anoth er letter was forwarded by the two superintendents. A committee to sound out pub lic sentiment on the proposal was appointed at this meeting. Named to this committee were Fred VV. Plonk and Arnold W. Kincaid, from the Kings Mountain board; Clyde Randle and J. W. Watter son, from Bethware; and Carl McGinnls and G. R. Rountree, from Grover. At the tnird meeting, held at Kings Mountain school on June 22, members of the committee re ported that the majority opinion expressed by school patrons fa vored the proposed consolidation. A building site committee was appointed at this meeting to seek out a minimum of three sites which would be suitable for the proposed consolidated white high school. Named to this group were Mr. Harry, Mr. Plonk, and Mr. Randle, The site committee was in structed to seek options on sever al sites at the fourth meeting, held at Grover school on July 13, after reporting three possi ble sites. The three sites reported by the committee were 1) a site on York road near the proposed Highway 29 by-pass; 2) a tract off Shelby road behind Blalock's Park-Inn; and 3) a tract of the former Lee Herndon property on the old Grover road.

At Monday night's meeting, Mr. Barnes reported that both the state school official and the as sistant attorney general who will answer questions concerning consolidating procedure were ei ther on vacation or on leave of absence and that no answers have been received. The committeemen continued discussion of problems facing consolidation^ Superintendent Grigg told the group on July 13 that he felt that the first step in consolidating would be for the oulying districts (those outside the Kings Mountain district) to vote a special school tax equal to the Kings Mountain district tax of 20 cents on the $100 prop erty valuation. Committeeman Watterson, of Bethware said Monday he felt a number of patrons in his section do not understand the reason for the special tax and would vote against the proposal, due to that fact. Superintendent Barnes told the group "the 20 cents tax is to run a better school system than the state will provide for the poorest district in the state." He said that the state equalizes its school funds to provide equal education within the state but that many districts, cities and even counti es had voted for additional funds to provide better facilities for their children. ,? The group agreed that the supplementary tax was needed Dixi E KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. Admission ? 9c & 20c THURS. LAST DAY ? POPEYE CARTOON ? FRIDAY - SAT. DOUBLE FEATURE Buster Crabbe in ... .

Men More Daring As Pedestrians I Men are more daring than wo men in disregarding pedestrian traffic rules, it appears from re cords of the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Accident figures for 1952 show that of the 248 walkers killed on North Carolina streets and high ways, only 64 were women and girls, while 184 were men and boys. and also felt that, in addition to anticipated state funds, a bond issue will also have to bp voted either in the district or in the county to provide sufficient funds to build the consolidated plants. The group adjourned subject to call of temporary Chairman Harry. SUBSCRIBE TO THE HERALD Safety Measures Urged For Canners Are you all set for the summer .canning season? Lucky are you if you plan to use the pressure can ning method ? lucky, that is, if you use your cooker carefully and correctJy. Otherwise, you run the risk of serious trouble. A surprising num- j her of pressure cooker accidents I [are reported each year to the In stitute for Safer Living of Un American Mutual Liability In jsurance 'Company. Surprising, I say the Institute, because the J manufacturers take extreme pre cautions to build safety into their ! product and furnish explicit in structions for safe usage. Cooking under pressure is one of the easiest and Ix'st methods of canning or preserving. How ever, because terrific steam can be built up inside the cooker, its safety cannot be taken for grant ed. Accidents, when they do oc cur. are, likely to, be violent in nature. This thought should bo kept in mind during each step in the cooker's operation. ? JOY Theatre KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C.
