Chief of Police Tom MeDevitt warned the ordinance would be enforced. He commented, “We think we’re doing the motorists a favor. Entering traffic from the wrong side of the street is dangerous.’’ It is. The pull-out is against approaching traffic. near-side Mrs. Fairy Long Patterson Mrs. Fairy Long Patterson was a quite unusual lady, of many and varied talents. She reared a family of four fine girls and still found time and eners to devote to about every civic and relig ious enterprise worthy of the name. An accomplished musician, she directed for many years the choir of Central Metho dist Church, played the organ or piano for church seiwices. weddings and other events, was a charter member and or ganizer of what is today’s Kings Moun tarn’s Woman’s Club and became the first lady member of the Kings Mountain Board of EJducation. That was not all. Mrs. Patterson worked for many years with her husband, Arthur Hunter Patterson, as assistant secretary-treas urer of Home Savings & Loan Associa tion. Mrs. Patterson also was blessed with a facile pen, serving for a number of years as society editor of the Kings Mountain Herald. Personally, Mrs. Patterson was quite modish. She liked hats. On one occasion at a social event, someone complimented her on the styl ish hat she was wear'n?. Laughing, she confided, “It’s ttiirty years old ’’ Continuing, Mrs. Patterson added she had almost all the hats she’d over 'bought. When one of her favorites of prior years struck her fanev again, it was re-millinered with new veil and oth er accoutrements and became a brand new hat again. A very unusual, talented and ener getic lady was Mrs. Fairy Long Patter son. Tradition Continued From now-olden days when Lacy C. Parsons was the City of Kings Moun tain’s superintendent of everything (lit erally) the city’s electrical department has drawn high marks for prompt and efficient service. The tradition was continued under the long menage of Electrical Superin tendent Hunter Allen. And the tradition is quite apparent ly being continued under Electrical Sup erintendent Earl Turbyfill. In recent weeks, the department has been plagued with felled telephone poles, yet restore service in black^-out areas "on the double’’. Most recent instance oc curred Monday night, when a felled pole forced blacking out several areas in the west portion of the city, while repairs were being made. One citizen complimented, “The Juice was back on in exactly an hour. My watch said my electric clock was exactly an hour slow.” The men of the electrical depart ment deserve commendations. One Lady's Idea Is the city police department start ing drive to enforce the traffic ordinance against wrong-side parking? Drive or not, at least one motorist collected a ticket Wednesday morning for that infraction. She was quite un happy, muttered that the officers should enforce the ordinance on their “own’’, citing a member of the force “who does it all the time.’’ Old line “never-busted-a-tickef Democrats, particularly germane to the South, have yet to warm to the candi dacy of Senator George McGovern, the party standard-bearer for president. The hopeful are hoping the unfold ing campaign will find Senator McGov ern’s promised policy “clarifications” providing good and sufficient rt»json not only to support the party nominee but to support him ardently. Some of the old-liners have already given up; they tear what they term ”socialist-all-the-way” McGovern pro mises and they don’t like his ideas on Vietnam, which were tried by Lyndon Johnson and tailed. Mr. Johnson halted bombing and the North Vietnamese said “thanks", using the respite to move men and materiel into the tray. ’Lhe reason ing: to err, as did LBJ, is human, but to repeat the error is stupid. The old liners are equally deter- m'ined not to vote lor President Nixon,» not being able to forget the smaltzy'. "Checkers ’ speech of 1952, nor the hearts-and-flowers treatment he throws out in viitiially every pronouncment to the people. What'll they So? Stay home? Take a uaik? A young lady lawyer in Charlotte lia.: iK'i aiis..er. She told her senior partner, “I’ve made uji my mind, i'm writing one in for 'i ei ry oaiiiurd." A lot of old liners wish they’d have got more e.xcited about Sahtoi’d-for- Lrcs.ULiit 111 the May primary than they did. As Predicted Wednesday news reports indicated that the seconds of Gubernatorial Can didates Skipper Bowles, Democrat, and Jim Holsliouser, Republican, are finding some difficulties in a-greeing on ground rules to govern a limit on campaign ex penditures. The seconds find it hard to answer several questions, among them: Who will be the umpire? What will be the ground rules? What about cheatin’, such as the spitball pitch in baseball? And can the ump throw the guy out of the game? Who would have little enough sense to serve as umpire anyway? These comments are in no wise an effort to cast aspersions on good faith and intent of the candidates themselves, .'Should any agreement be reached. But candidates always find occasion for ap plying to themselves that old prayer: “. . .please protect me from my ft'iends; I can take care of my enemies myself.” MARTIN'S MEDICINE Viewpoints of Other Editors BACK-TO-SCHOOL IMPLIES EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY By MARTIN HARMON Fun and rpdundancie.s. m-m Funeral ciireeto.rs enjoy teasins It’s difficult, especially for stu dents and sharply for us par ents, to realize that it’s time for school to begin again.
