Psalm S2S:1 Problem Of Waste When Dan K. Moore filed his can didacy for governor in the autumn of 1963, the folk in the oppiosition camps spread the story that Champion Paper & Fibre Company, for whom Mr. Moore was general counsel and an officer, de cided it would be cheaper to elect a gov ernor than to clean up the obnoxious odor in Canton. When Mr. Moore paid call at the Herald, the editor laughingly repeated the charge. Governor Moore laughed, too. “That’s not quite the w^y it is,’’ he replied. “Champion has already spent four million dollars in its clean-up pro gram and expects to spend three mil lion more.’’ Cleaning up waste here and elsewhere. IS expensive. Winston-Salem is being accused by S-iUohnrv nf Humoing too much waste into the Yadkin river, which Salisbury Ubcs as a w ater supply, Winston-Salem has denied the charge and says it will do nothing until made to do so. Should Salisbury sua it is a safe wager that she would likely win ii Vv ...s- ton-Salem indeed is over-dumping waste into the Yadkin. More attention is being to waste problems today than ever before. Thus the problem of McGill Creek sewage plant, with a rated capacity of one million gallons of Influent daily, is not designed to handle over-abundant, amounts of metallic dyestuffs. Colonel W. K. Dickson, the city’s consulting engineer, has already recom mended the city adopt a waste-use ordi nance, and it is predictable that the commission will accept the recommend ation. Presumably, such an ordinance will require indusrtrial firms to pre-treat its waste before turning it into the sewage disposal system. It will cost the firms money, but the good of the whole is more import ant. Nature provides the means of handl ing human waste, but not Industrial waste. When mixed, nature is put out of action. Sell To Bessemer City Bessemer City is water short and has asked to become a Kings Mountain water customer when Kings Mountain’s new capacity comes on stream in mid- September. Lithium Corporation is needing more treated water than the million gallons per month it is now using and prospective Bessemer City industrial users further increase the pressure on the city. Wilson Crawford frequently philoso phizes, “It ’sn’t a good trade if it doesn’t benefit all parties.” ’The Bessemer Citv nmffof to buy water seems to meet that test. For nearly two years K ngs Moun tain water customers have been paying a 90 percent surcharge and outside-city customers considerably more. The new treatment plant will give Kings Mountain a treated water canacity of six million gallons daily. Kings Moun tain’s present capacity of two million gallons daily is pushed to the limit, but with the new plant Kings Mountain will have spare capacity and quite ample to supply Bessemer City’s indicated need of a million per day and Lithium’s half million a day. Serving our neighboring city indi cates the opportunity of paring water bills much more quickly than was ini tially anticipated when the penciling done prior to passage of the $3 million bond is.suo with which the water system is being evpanded. It will be a neighborly act to a n«ighbor and benefit Klng« Mountain at the same time—as mott neighborly act* do. Congratulations Congratulations are in order to: George W. Mauney, re-elected chair man of the Kings Mountain Hospital board of directors; Carl V. Wiesener, elected er of District 23 of the Am gion; mand- ;>n Le- Mrs. Orangrel Jolly, named chair man of the legislative committee of the state American Legion auxiliary; Herman Mauney promoted by San- dia Laboratories; Carl F. Mauney, re-elected chairman of the Redevelopment commission; Marvin Luther Teer, promoted by First Union National bank; Mrs. Glee E. Bridges, winner of a valuable scholarship; and Gary Oliver, named most valuable player of the 1970 Legion baseball team. Coaching Changes From the record. Bob Hussey knowx his business. His basketball teams were outstand ing and his baseball teams did well, too. His two successors have good cre dentials, Allen Dixon for basketball and Barry Gibson for basebtUl. More Public Housing With the upcoming 147-acre rede velopment of the Cansler street area, the need for more public low-rent hous ing is quite apparent. Application for an additional 100 units has been made and hopefully will be approved. Currently the housing authority Is “over-sold”, and particularly homes for the eligible elderly. Application is for so-called conven tional housing which is designed to make the project pay for itself through rentals. Cengress* View oi Nixon The Christian Science Monitor has just reported results of a survey the newspaper conducted among members of Congress of their view of the job the President is doing and have compared to an earlier survey it conducted nine months previously. The Monitor headlines the report “Nixon Rating Slips on Domestic Rec ord”. The Monitor concludes: “Somehow he (Nixon) needs to convince Congress that he is really in charge on the domes tic front, that he knows what he Is do ing, that with poise and assurance he is undertaking the responsibles of com mand on this front.” Says the Monitor, this congression al is one that Mi'. Nixon is going to have to tackle and dispel if he is going to make any significant headway with his domestic program. It is strange that Mr. N’- n who served in both branches of the ^ ngresa failed to learn how to establ . rap port with the people who can >'{e him and his administration a success or fail- Conversely, the Monitor found the Congress generally regards his handling of foreign policy—minus misgivings a- bout Vietnam—basically good. Were You Counted? The Mayor reports that some eight households have turned up in which the people were not counted by census enumerators, or who feel they were not counted. The exact number of persons in volved has not been tabulated but one of them is a family of six. On basis of 3.5 persons in the aver age family the total would be 7S per sons. 'The Census Bureau is being ftim- ishad a list of thaac familias. MARTIN'S MEDICINE The city electrical department did my wife a considerable favor Tuesday and she figure.? it must have beeji matter of fate being kind. She was entertaining the Con tract Bridge club at 3 p.m. At 2 pjm. She went out the front door for something and saw the elec trical truck parked nearby “What are you doing?” she asked the crewmen. i Th« laply: “We are going to give you betteir power sendtae. The power will be uf4 about three hours.” a-m 'Oh, no!" Anne shieked, “not today!” St)b explained to Earl Turby- fill that our living room required light if the ladles were to play bridge. I suppose it would have been possible to move the play ers to the backyard but it would have been a mighty sweltering bridge game. Earl was most cooperative and ordered stringing ot the new wire delayed until Wednesday morn ing. The new wire must have been what the doctor ordered, for the lights at our place seemed much brighter when Floyd Thorn burg and Dutch Wilson completed the work.

All hope waa dashed last week. We haii tried not to consider 'the possibility of success 'for evil de signs of evU male designers of women’s cl'Othes (sadomaso- chists all), and nwe had convin ced ourselves th'at all the ru mors were rumors and nothing more. I never had the pleasure of meeting Lou Boudreau, Inducted this week into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with Jess Haines, Ford Prick and Earl Combs, but I did have the pleasure of seeing him play shortstop when he managed the Cleveland Indians. | Our fashion seer-in-residence, Juanita Davis, showed us the Ifu- ture last week. She iwas thumb ing through copies of 1953 Tri' bunes and she kept noticing 1970 ultra-fashions - - in 1953 ads. And there they were, in Blda for local ladies shops. ’The below- the-knee skirts and dresses now beini hailed as the ultimate. Howpver, my next-room neigh bor at mld^pman’s school at Columibla university was Tex Em- 'mons, who had roomed with Boudreau at the Univeirsity ct Illi nois. He too was an athlete, hav- I Ing been an AAXJ wrestling champion in the 145-pound divi sion. I don’t recall how Tex got his nickname for he was not from Texas but from Lawrence- viUe, Illinois. Our society editor was as diS' mayed as ithis rest of us. ‘T did n’t Uke those styles then,” she said, “and I like them less now.” If women cringe at the pros pect of wealing the maxis, or below-the-knee hemlines by all C her names, why will theiy? CEILING ON FARM SUBSIDIES The Senate’s vote to limit sub sidies to individual farm opera tors to $20,000 a year is not a realistic solution to the fatm problem. Y'et such legislation may be a go'>d idea. Senate supporters Of the plan, like others who have backed similar ceilings in the past, are disturbed ehtefly because some 1 a r g g landowmrs, corporate tarmeng and others receive an nual Federal payments in excess of $1 miUion a year. That sort of result doesnt aquiare very well with the constant argu ment that Federal eiibsidles “save" he small family farm. No man who has a smn'tterlng of ‘I'.nderslanding of the female psyche would ask. Simply put, a woman vviU suffer anything to lack and dress Uke every other wom'an. Tile root tragedy Is those male d.signers. They wdll design any thing a woman 'has no chance of having in her I wardrobe alraadiy. In other words, their 'aim in life is to design clothes that haven’t been designed. It was BoudreaO who dreamed up the Ted Williams shift in the Indians-Red Sox playoff for the American League pennant in ‘ 1948 and It worked. Williams was] so angry he was determined to] right field, though he had proved before and since that he could hit to any field. Jake Early testified as much. Jake says when Washington was playing the Red Sox Jake would do everything he could to keep Williams from getting a hit. He even sang to him. -'Wasn’t any use,” Jake adds, "we could work two strikes on him but on that third one you could see the ball sailing out of the park. One of the longest hit balls ever hit at City Stadium was slammed biy the Greenville, N. C., pitcher In their opening game in which GreenvUle scored 26 runs. The ball not only went wrer the fence but well under the trees in Moun tain Rest cemetery. The people whose business is selling do the rest. So wh'at reed- thin girl wouldn’t wear 'any thing (yes, or not wear any thing) for $60 'an hour. AU they have to Ido, you see, is drape a model In any igod-awful outfit, spread it across the slick maga zines in full, rich color, call it “the American woman” or some such catch-all definition of con formity, and the perpetration is complete. Of course the subsidies really haven’t been ea-ving small farms at all. 'Hie eacnomlcs of agricul ture, lelyh^ mare and more on ooetly machineiry, has long been dietaitlng a traiisltion tx> ever^- largeu farms. 'Under the suosldy setup, a dlmdnidilng portion of the sld reaches smaller 'farmers, the tmss wOho could use some sort of help. If tihe House goes along with the Senaite’g ce&iing, though, large landowners, ■with ithelr Federal payments sharply cut back, are likely to opt out of Federal acreage-conertl prog- itams and increase their shares Of ithe market, again causing problenis for smaller fai-mers. ’The situation ’OQnoeiivBbly could become so messy that Congress would finally be iforoed into a maanin'jful overhaul of farm policy.

Failure to do so was sup posed to slice 10 per cent from the federal road funds those states receive.
