Proverbs 3:S. I was at dty Barber Shop Monday, my venerable Dodge was parked in front. I observed that Ralph (Babe) Ware, who superintends the parking meters, was requiring a bit more time than usual to start writing the over-parking ticket. Indeed, I had time to say, "Here 1 am with the coins”. m-m Asks Babe, "What’s that?” m-m For two days I'd been driving with a bumper sticker which read, “IM BEATNIK JOE!’’ "I don't laugh as much as I used to." ^^SCVilATf^y All the while I’d thought the | Hallowe’en pranksters had pass- l ed ime b>’. i Salute To Youth Whether or not by design. Optimist International and the American Educa tion Association are sponsoring observ ances next week with the same endpoint beneficiary; youth. For the Optimists: it’s Youth Ap preciation Week, and for the educatots, it’s American Fiducation Week. During American Education Week, educators annually invite patrons to visit the schools to see what is being done to develop children toward able and responsible manhood and woman hood. I’articular attention is being given currently in North Carolina and in many other areas to the problem of school dropouts. It is a costly problem for the youngsters individually and for every one else. The Optimists of Kings Mountain and throughout the world propagate as their principal avocation aid to youth, directly and indirectly, recreationally and educationally. Ne.xt week, from the Optimist standpoint is “pat on the back” week for Kings Mountain area teenagers. And, at Jacob S. Mauney Mernorial Library a “Salute to Youth” is evidenc ed by Children’s Book Week which fol lows the theme, “Sing Out F'or Books”, with new books being added daily to the library shelves. None lives very many years until he is aware that the future belongs to youth. Their welfare and training spell the difference between a bright future and a dark one, locally, and for the na tion. Congratnlations F'avorable performance and achieve ment deserve commendation. Thus, congratulations are in order to a large number of Kings Mountain area citizens: Mayor John Henry Moss, chairman of the Cleveland Association of Govern mental Officials, for 1966. Dr. Paul Ausley, First FTesbyterian pastor, newly-named moderator of Kings Mountain Presbytery. Harold Phillips, president of the newly-formed Cleveland County Com munity Action committee which seeks ways to alleviate poverty in Cleveland County. Rita Bell, DAR Good Citizen. Sandra Wright, chosen to represent Kings Mountain in the annual Carolinas Carrousel Thanksgiving Day in Char lotte. Rev.

When Rolls Royce finally broke with tradition last wiek a-nd put their new Silver Cloud on public display at the Paris Motor Show — dropping their conservative mask, as the London Times put it—it was understandable that the old guard would be critical, if not horrified. To the unpro fessional eye, the main difference in the Silver Cloud seems to be the suggestion of streamlining in the hood (or in the bfmnet, as the British call it), achieved by a slight reduction in the size of the famous Rolls-Royce radiator grille. The British have long had a reputation for excellence in cer tain specialized fields. And their ability to deal with their chronic balanceof-payments problem is tied to their maintaining thi.s ex cellence and marketing success fully the products of it. Britain’s friends everywhere are glad whenever the British chalk up a success in this direc tion. So it is good to leant that the courage of Rolls-Royce in breaking with tradition- :;;ut not with the striving for excellence— is already reaping a reward.
