The amount is a record for Kings Mountain, as was the total of Powell Bdl funds for the fis cal yeai' ended June 30. A total of 400 towns and cities are shar ing in $0,219,330. Kings Mountain drew its share on the basis of 34.S3 miles of ciyt-maintainted streets, up 4-5 miles over the previous year. City Clerk Gene Mitcham listed among the mileagte added during the vear Waters street. Hillside Drive Belvedere circle, Williams street, Hendricks street and Mitchel street. The Powell Bill kitty accrues from onte-cent of the state’s gaso line tax. It is divided between eli gible communities on basis of population and city-maintained street mileage. It is the sixth check the city will receive under the Powell Bill and $3,011.90 more than the city anticipated it would receive in the budget adopted for the cur rent fiscal year.

The Kings Mountain postmans tership pays approximately $0, 000 per annum. MORE ABOUT Falls Says Continued, From Front Page to prove an expensive luxury. Under this law, counties and cities would be permitted to make grants, too, though only for the state would it be mandatory. It ; would be a two-way street, avai lable both to Negroes and whites, J should the occasion occur. He said the new law, if adopted, will per mit a school board to close any school unit or part of a unit, as seems required. In a question and-answer dis-; eussion following his. address, Rep. Falls pointed out (to a ques tlort about the paucity of private schools) that he Pearsall Plan would make legal the lease, sale, or other disposal of school pro perty for private use. He also said ! that, should a school be closed, | teachers would be paid for the remainder of their contract, pro. vide.j they were actually seeking comparable employment and could not obtain it. They could ; not teach it a private school and ■draw double pay, he added. The legislator had praised ' Cleveland County for its effort ! of the past decade in making edu-! cational facilities equal for both j Negroes and whites and offered j I the opinion many Negro students : have better schools than do white j ] students. ‘‘Unfortunately, some ■. counties have not matched Cleve-1 I land’s effort,” he added. Commenting informally to seve. , ral Lions after the meeting, Rep. , Falls described the Pearsall Plan , “at worst,” as a time-buyer of [ two to three years, and “at best” s as the means of solving the prob- , lem created by the 1954 Supreme r Court decision. Guests at the session included 1 Dr. Harvey L. Bumgarouer, of s Raleigh, and Mayor Glee A Bridges. t Prior to the address, Dr. N. H. i Reed, club president, presented - ten-vear perfect attendance pins t to C. P. Barry, W. L. Plonk, J. ' Lee Roberts, and L'ugene Patter, i soli.

MORE ABOUT Youth Deplore Continued From Front Page meeting. This reassignment procedure is set up through state laws passed by, the 1956 Special Session of the Legislature and is standard pro cedure for every school board in North Carolina. The boys went on to explain their case for reassignment by stating, “It’s a long walk to East School from where we live. All we would have to do to get to North is walk up Piedmont ave ; nue. But we liked Central.” | Supt. Barnes explained last j week that the construction of the ; new North School plant made it j necessary for many Central and East School students to be assig ned to the new building. How ever, the assignments are tenta tive, and the board may change any pupil’s assignment w’hen school opens. The changes may be necessary to fill certain grades in certain schools and to relieve crowded conditions in these same grades at other schools.

Mrs. H. A. Goforth, Bethware registrar, said she added 35 nam es to the Bethware book last Saturday, and Mrs. J. B.

Saturday will be Challenge Day, when any voter has the right to examine the books. Absentee voting is permitted, as in all general elections, and per sons desiring to votle in this man ner should contact J. W. Osborne, nf Shelby, chairman of the coun ty elections board, who will pro vide absentee ballots. Prime interest in the special ’lection concerns the first of four amendments. Amendment No. 1 embodies the principal Clements >f the Pearsall Plan, which mem bers of the legislature and the Governor say is North Carolina’s >nly means of legally circumvfen ing desegregation in the public schools and, thereby, to preserve he state’s public school system. The other amendments have at racted little interest. One would change the da^fe of convening of he General Assembly to Febru iry of each biennium, from Jan. lary. Another would permit hus >ands to convey power of attor- J ley to thteir wives. A third would ncrease slightly the compensa ion of members of the General Assembly.
