Isaiah Possible State Park Tuesday, Governor Bob Scott tvas host to a Charlotte luncheon at which he told his guests development of a state park in this area is Number 1 state pri ority—only, he said, North Carolina does not now have, nor is likely to have in the immediate future, the coin to sup port the wish. Somewhere along the line the Gas ton lolk put the Kings Mountain pinna cle into the act, though virtual full at tention at the Governor’s luncheon con cerned Crowder’s—under option to a mining company for possible extraction of kyanite, a heat-resistant substance used, tor instance, in brick. Kings Mountain’s pinnacle and sur rounding area has been said to have ’commerclalfy vsfluabne deposits of kyan ite not to mention iron ore. However, one of the owners of the 155-acre pin nacle has said the ecologists need not woi-ry about this pinnacle—that it won’t be sold or leased for strip mining oper ations. Meantime, the possibility of a state park for the area is intriguing. If the Herald’s un-checked memory i.s correct, state parks have been devel oped on the past in areas where owners of the park property gave it to the state the state then developing the park on a gradual but continuing basis. 'This was true of Morrow Mountain State Park near Albemarle, the park bearing the name of the donors of the property. As far as state parks are concerned, this area is a desert. However, residents of the area have made use of the South Carolina State Park facilities nearby. The nation-wide concern over eco logy should be a boon to the establish ment of a state park in this area. Mayor John Henry Moss, months ago, conversed with state officials on the possibilities. Perhaps now is the time to move. Water Project Report Two holes to plug one. That’s the situation on the Buffalo Creek water project, where the city must acquire two more properties be- lore it can plug the big five-foot-diamo- ter pipe at the base of the Buffalo Creek dam and watch the lake begin to fill to dam spillover point. “We’re negotiating as hard as we c"” -'''-'iiirp these properties,” Mayor John Henry Moss said Wedne.sday. Owners of the two are John D. Cline and ^.K,Lv^iine. “We ho/.‘ to settle .without litiga tion,” the Mayor added. Public hearing of the City of Shelby on its proposal to extend perimeter zon ing from one to two miles attracted a paucity of opponents, compared to pop ulation involved, indicating that majori ty of the property owners in the area have seen and are appreciative of or derly growth. Congratulations to George W. Mauney and Rev. S. T. Cooke on their re-appointment to the Kings Mountain Hospital board of directors and to Mr. IMauney on his re-election as chairman. Congratulations to Luther T. Ben nett, Howard Shipp, and Ira Falls on their appointment to the building codes housing committee, appointed via .stale statute. This committee is separate and apart from the Mayor’s housing com mittee. a volunteer group encouraging the building of homes and apartments to provide adequate housing to Kings Mountain citizens. More Public Housing Threat of a strip-mining operation to extract kyanite from Crowder’s Mountain moved ecology-minded Ga.s- tonians to action some months ago. Initial result was a resolution by the former Board of Conservation and Development declaring the mountain a potential state park area. When Kings Mountain Public Hous ing Authority applied for an additional 100 units of low-rent housing there were two prime reasons: 1) occupancy rate at the 200 units now, operated is virtually 100 percent, with waiting lists, and 2) impending launching of the Cans- ler area urban renewal project, with a- bout 186 derelict and sub-standard dwellings scheduled for razing, indicated a considerable increase in demand from qualified applicants. The now program is “conventional”, that is, under the initial public housing law which went into effect January 1, 1937. Financial involvement of the fed eral government under this program is a matter of endorsement of re-payment of the authority’s borrowed land-pur- chase and construction funds. Implied is that 1) a well-managed project with a high occupancy rate will pay for itself and 2) the federal subsidy bill, if any, will be low. In 1968, the Congress, in an effort lo spur housing starts for the indigent, added four programs, among them a lease arrangement from private build ers. The Kings Mountain Authority leases 50 of its 200 units. It has examined the other programs in detail, but has found them wanting— quite complicated and difficult of ad ministration. The basic program begun in 1937 remains best cheapest for Uncle Sam and with concurrent insistence on good management by local authorities. The Kings Mountain Authority, happily, is operating in the black, and has won praise, not only for this fact, but for project design and, perhaps most imnortant, obvious pride in their quarters shown by vast majority those who rent low-rent housing. As Campaign Unfolds Press reports say the South has not yet warmed to the Democratic party presidential ticket of Senator George McGovern, of South Dakota, and Sena tor Tom Eagleton, of Missouri and so^me commentators add there is little likli- hond the South will. Meantime, on the McGovern-Eagle- ton plus side, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, frosted at the convention, has stated he will do what comes naturally tor him: support the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. On the minus side, the boss of the Teamsters Union is casting his lot with the Republican party, and as this is written, AFL-CIO Boss Tom Meany is reported hoping his big organization will, at most, sit out the 1972. hustings. Another minus is declaration of Philadelphia Mayor Rizzo that he will support President Nixon lor re-election. More of the South may switch to 'fcGovern than some now imagine, for the South is Democratic historically— like Mayor Daley. Basically conservative Southern Democratic leaders are taking a wait- and-see attitude. They want the Mc Govern program spelled out in detail. Then they’ll decide. Southerners are leery of some of the McGovern “reform” programs, at least as previously advertised. Yet majority of Southerners won’t be angry at McGovern for the reason some echelons of Big Labor want to leave him. The McGovern sin: he sup ported a bill to enact a right-to-work law, which provides any employee the right to work—without having to be long to a union. As far as Teamster President Fitz simmons is concerned, the right-to-worR vote by McGovern is a caruinai sin. xie does not comment on the faef one James J.
