'MORE ABOUT
DAY CARE CENTER
legln work W the Kings Moun
tain Day Care Center could oper
a's to capacity.
THE SCHOOLS DO
Children who have been cared
ior in good day care centers are
aible to start school with their
interest in learning intact. They
have had individual attention to
build their sell-confidence. They
have learned iiscipllne througli
understanding correction and are
better able to control their ac
tions in school. Also, with good
day care available, the parents
will ;be less apt to keep their old
er children home from school to
take care of the younger chil
dren.
KINGS MTN. DOES
Through cooperative effort, at
all economic and social levels,
Kings Mountain can demonstrate
Its a'bity to solve its wn prob
lem, and stimulate further ef
forts to ibreak the "terrible cycle
of poverty." Kings Mount.lin
now has a Community Center
with rich potential. AMhouLth
opened only recently, it already
provides a large v'arietyq of en
riching activities for the resi-
iclents of this small community.
Day Care for children can he one
more service avail.aible because of
the foresight of the community
in constructing this (building to
make Kings Mountain a better
place to live.
I THE CBmCAL NEED
j KiT»5;;y Mrttiitthirf hatf space for
lone hundred children in a mod
ern, II ht, airy section of the
Community Center. The building
! is centially located to be con-
j venient to all re.-;idenl.-i ot th(>
community. They have receivctcl
some eciuipment from the school
system and arrangements are be
ing made for the con.struction of
more cq ipment in tlie school
manual arts program and in .some
local industries. TliCy arc ap-
I plying for food subsi ly to cover
j the cost of nutritious meals for
the children, .‘staff training will
be arrangtxl with Gaston Com
munity College or llic Cleveland
Teclinicald In.slltute. Every ef
fort has been made to find the
necessary etiuipment and maler-
! i.'ils fo make this ce.Tter one of
the best child development day
'tare centers in the area. Ifow-
cver, there are not sufficioni
funds to employ the staff so they
may be trained and community

Day Care can 'tie a great
boneftt to industry. .Many indus

ate its own day cane center. It
would therefore be eeonomieal-
ly practical for them to support
an e.vlsting facility. Tlie propor-
ti:,nato sliare from indu.stry must

Tlie remaining balance must be
obtained from die (leople in
Kings .Mountain who have con-

COMMUNITY INVOLVE
A Day Care Commission has
hoen created by the mayor of
Kings -Mountain to explore tlie
need for day t are in tliis om-
munily and plan for making day
care available to meet these
needs. The Commission is now
tortentrating on a Center to lie
iioused in the Kings Mountain
C ;:r..munity Center, wliore s,..ice
his been made available.
tiince this is a project (hat can
her.ollt die entire omniunily, ef-
I forts will be rmade to involve as
, many residents as -posstble In the
I success of this project. Group:
will be tasked to help construct
i equipment and collect material:
I for thece nier, vol.nleers will hr
recruited to help arrange the
I equipment and plan outings for
die eliildren.
The School Eood Service pro
gram is being re(|uested to grant
! a focVl subsidy which is adequate
to provide nouritshing meals at
no extra cost to the center.
I Tliere will he employment op-
i portiinitics at the center for a
teaclier, aides, and a cook who
! will be j-ocruited frcjm Kings

The Kings Mountain center twill
be a project to benefit the com
munity and can succeed only
with community commitment of
both funds and volunteer time.

REVOCATION OF WILLS
Is a will revoked by the subse
quent marriage of the maker?
'No. A North Carolina statute
enacted in 1967 expressly pro
vides that a wiill Ls not revoked
>y a subseequent marriage otf the
maker.
Prior to the 1967 North Carolina
.statute a person’s subsequent
marriage automatically revoked,
with certain limited I'xceptlons,
the entire will.
The law elsewliere varies in
the several slates.
A testator may, ot course, leave
property to his former spouse un
der a new will executed subse-
querrt to the divorce.
The Moires and their grand-
■May the siiivivin.g spouse dis
sent frrm the terms cf a valid !
will executed ollher before or
after marriage?
Ve.s, Tlie North \ rolir ■ s'cditp
stales that “the surviving spouse
may di.«sent from a will made
prior to tlie marriage in the same
manner, upon Mie same condi
tions, and to the same extent, as
a surviviing spouse may dissent
from a will made subsequent to
marriage.”

“THE COST OF LIVING
IS DOWN"
Ordinarily making the above statement
would leave us open not only to strong criti
dfim but also to doubts about our sanity. How
ever, what we mean is—"The cost of staying
alive," is down. And this is very true. Hospital
stays ore usually very short even for surgery
ond childbirth, compared to just a few years
ego.
Another reason the "Cost of Living" is down
is that the new medicines that we ore now
stocking in the pharmacy are mote potent and
more specific This means that wi& most ill
ncssee your doctor can prescribe drugs that will
help you to recover faster and lose less time
from your regular work routine. We anticipote
that the cost of staying alive will continue to
decline.
YOU OR YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US
when you need a delivery. We will deliver
promptly without extra charge. A great many
people rely on us lor their health needs. We
welcome requests for delivery service and
charge accounts.
