/A ylii/- %NGS MbufrrXn^ HerxLd; kiNGS mountain, n. c. Tliursclay, April 7, 1966 Thursday pert: |1IS ways A highway patrol, traffic ex pert thla we^ reminded Tar Heel drivers how important it was to t»y close attention to highway •Igns. The spcrftesman was Major Eld- win Guy who staid that the need to watch .signs should, by itself, be enough to keep drivers on their toes. “Because they give warnings, information and regulations, of ficial highway signs have and de serve priority ot the driver’s at tention,’’ Guy declared. “And while progress has been made in standardizing sign meaning by shape the driver often has to check the individual sign to know what it says and what he must do.’’ Guy said that stop signs, yield signs and railroad warning signs are nearly 100 percent standard ized. He said that a driver facing „ f N« mjAij '■ I'clNX -'I J, ^.50. $6.50 . . . BATH SOAft $3.00 s <reKk $2i)0>.tha $HOWEB BQAP.

The familiar crossbuck jnarks theactual loca tion of the tracks. “It is equally true that a dia mond-shaped sign ;reans “DAN GER,” Guy point out. But tlie driver can’t quit after he notes the shape. He must see what iort of danger is denoted by the sign. It may bt? a curve, an inter section, a place where a number sf lanes is reduced, merging traf fic or a wai ning of .sny of a num ber of potential hazards. If you ely on shape* without paying at tention to the specific message you may get info trouble. “The same holds true, only more so, for the rectan’uJai signs used to advise the traveler of regulations. If you don’t dis tinguish between a speed limit sign, a sign giving the scho^a) I us stop law or if you misread a parking re.striction sign or a Nc Left Turn sign you have nobody to bla re but yourself if you get a ticket or are involved in a wreck,” he said. Careful attention to all high- w’ay signs eejuips the driver with ample opportunity to take the required action in safety, Guy concluded. Because of its te.xtlle industries, P'all Ri\cr. .Mass., is known as the “Spindle City.” Tuscarawas River in Ohio was once the western boundary of the U. S. . '^V ' SAFETY CHECK — "Instill in your child the habit to 'look all ways' before crossing a street" is oite of the major points of a school age safety chocklist recently published by the Easter Seal Society. Posed by models, this picture demonstrates the importance of looking for the auto mobile coming around a corner os well, as those approaching along the street to be crossed. The checklistf is available free from the North Coro'.ina Society for Crippled Children and Adults (The Easter Seal Society), P. O. Box 839, Chapel Hill. North Carolina. Club To Name Top Officer 1 cpr cl foi spect for Law” program, the Kings Mountain Optimist cIuIj has initiated’a program to recognize the “Officer of the Month.” Each month a secret committee of four local citizens will choose the officer of Wie month accord- nig to a standard of merits. The ieiected officer will receive a certificate signed by the Chief of Police and by the Mayor of Kings Mountain. Later the officers chosen shall be candidates for “Officer of the Year.” The officer of the year inall )e recognized in a special cere mony and receive special awards. A sookesman for the Optimist •lub stated “We are both thank ful for and proud of our local oolice force and their untiring ef forts to uphold our laws and their enforcement.” “Too often we are guilty of de riding our police officers.. .Very seldom do they get the “pat-on- thc-back they deserve.” The North Carolina Heart A.s- sociation’s Willard G.

BOB HERNDON (Captain) STEVE RATHBONE AUD TIGNOR RODDY HOUSER FURMAN WILSON Spraying or dusting to protect plants from the ravages of insect and disease pests is the best in surance you have against dam age. A good slogan: use the right materials, at the right time, pro perly mixed; and d^o a thorough job of covering allj parts of the plant, especially the undersides of the leaves to control sucking insects such as aphids, red spid ers and lace bugs. spots of ross, apples and many other plants, produce spores. These spores germinate and at tack the plant tissues. If the leaf is protected by a fungicide the spores are killed before they have a chance to enter the tis sues. Once the diseases gain en trance, they are more difficult to control. , Rabies Clinic On Satniday All insects have a life -history or cycle. That is, they undergo changes which may occur in four stages: egg, larva, pupa and a- dult. Or, in three stages: egg, nymph and adult. The larva and the nymph staged arc usually the most destructivejalthough the a- dult stage may also bo destruct ive. These simple examples should serve to show how important it is to keep your plants protected at all times. Many people seem to think that one or two sprayings during the growing season are all that are necessary. On the • contrary, this battle against in- ] sects and diseases is never-end- i ing. For this reason, it is best to ; follow a regular spray program I for all of your ornamentals, I fruits and vegetables. Dr. J. P. Mauney, veterinarian, has announced the following schedule of rabies clinics for Sat urday, April 16.

There is a trend today, for example, of greater popularity of floral patterned rugs which add a feeling of third dimen sional depth and warmth to a room. ! The use of florals in‘uphol stery har been on the increase and upholstery of this type is now available in a larger and better selection than hereto fore. This is also true in drapery fabrics, wallpaper and bed spreads. Aside from the beauty and “summer feeling” of florals, there is also a very practical reason for their use. Many times patterned fabrics show wear, soil and fading less than solid colors. Generally, floral patterns can be used effectively in con trast with solid colors, such as a flowered sofa with a solid color rug or vrte versa; solid bedspread wj,th floral drapes, etc. To see a wonderful selection of all kinds of furniture and some other ideas In furnish ings, we Invite you to come in.
