Ideals That Endure
leles' quarters and a later shootout at
letes’ quarters and a later shotout at
the Munich military airport had killed
11 of the Lsraelis’ Olympic team, five ter
rorists and a West German policeman.
Munich’.s elaborate and expensive
efforts as hosts to the 1972 Summer
Olympics has been overwhelmed by this
vicious crime committed by Arab terror
ists in the Olympic Village.
We would agree with the Wail
Street Journal who said in an editorial,
“The Spirit of Munich."
■ “We are not much in agreement
with those vvho say the Olympic games
should be abandoned because of the
constant intrusion of politics. For bet
ter and for worse, the Olympics reflect
the world as it is, in kind of microcosm
before the watching eyes of millions ot
TV viewers throughout the world. The
.-^rab attack on the Israeli team is an
awful reminder that amity does not on‘-
vail.
“Despite the intrusion of politics, in
petty ways involving judging, rules
maneuvers and other ways even before
the Arab attack, there is another image
that the Games project, one that is paVt
of what they were meant to be. It is an
image of individual athletes, most of
them basically decent, highly motivat
ed youngsters, behaving as individuals.
Their personalities quite often triumph
over nationalistic stereotypes and em-
nities.
The positive side of the Olympic
reality, the contributions of athletes
like the little gymnast, Olga Korbut, a
17-year-old Russian from a small town
and others who showed us the common
interests of all the people of the world
are too important to lose.
Despite the tragedy, ideals like
those embodied in the Olympic Games
live and endure.
Quotes Old and New
You never know what is enough
until you know what is more than
enough.—William Blake.
The man who interferes with an
other’s habits has the worst one.—Henry
S. Haskins.
Every man who is high up likes to
feel that he has done it him.self; and the
wife smiles, and lets go at that. Its our
only joke. Every woman knows that.—
J. M. Barrie.
Now That's No Way
To Run A Business
A Raleigh businessman comment
ing on the summer doldrums said things
are about as slow as the business oper
ated by a couple of guys who were go
ing down to South (Tarolina and haul
ing watermelons to the local market.
They were buying th'e melons at 50
cents each and selling them two for .?!.
At the end of the second day, they
sat down and counted their income.
“Hey, Don,”
made a penny.”
said Tom. “We ain’t
“I told you we oughta get a bigger
truck,’ complained Tom.—A. C. Snow in
Raleigh Times.
Teen-Ager Defined
A teen-ager is a person who gets
up on a Saturday morning and has no
thing to do, and by bedtime has it only
half done.—^Rough Notes.
There has been much copy written
about the Olympic Games which were
marvelous to watch via television and
which resumed yesterday under the sha
dow of Arab terrorism and police action
which left 17 men dead.
King Football
The big stadiums are being filled
again as the big, brawny guys in crim
son, blue, gold and navy bang each oth
er with vim and vigor for 60 mmutes at
a stretch.
Football’s back in season, and its
lost none of its appeal, even though the
highways are more clogged and there
fore more dangerous to navigate.
The season is getting in full swing
for the college season and meantime,
there’s some tasty high school gridiron
fare right here under our noses at John
Gamble Memorial Stadium. It’s Chase
Friday night, historically an interesting,
exciting, rough, tough game, with the
outcome in doubt to the final whistle.
Bethware Fair
Gates swing open for the 25th year
Wednesday to the Bethware Communi
ty Fair, always an enjoyable event for
fairgoers and exhibitors.
Bethware Progressive club mem
bers will attest to the fact it seems a
■short period the 25 years the fair has
become a familiar autumn event that
young and old enjoy.
Hats off to the sponsoring organiza
tion, the fair patrons, and the many e.x-
hibitors who are entering more and bet
ter exhibits for this year’s silver anni
versary spectacle.
You can be a winner in the Herald’s
football contest.
Textile Outlook
August has been pointed up among
textile men for some mon ths as the
month the market would improve, with
increasing orders and a firming of pric
es.
Some here have found business
more brisk, others detect a firm pricer
tone, prelude to more sales they say,
and majority say they expect brighter
days ah'ead.
Kings Mountain has long been wed
to textiles for its bread and butter.
While mining has been a great boon to
Kings Mountain financial well-being, it
is still a fact that majority of Kings
Mountain folk count on paychecks for
operating spinning frames or other tex
tile production machinery.
All join the textile plant managers
in hoping that a period of more brisk
activity lies closely ahead.
A cordial welcome to the commun
ity to Rev. Paul Riggs of Winston-Sa
lem, and his family, new minister of
First Baptist church.
A Cosmic Question
Answered
It seems a National Guard Green
Beret unit on summer maneuvers de
cided to take over Alabaster, Ala., the
way the Vietcong takeover villages.
They kidnaped the mayor and police
chief, but Shelby County Sheriff C. P.
Walker smelled something funny. He
reflected a moment, rounded up a posse
and staked out the home of the 'local
judge. Sure enough, eight Green Berets
showed up to kidnap the judge, but
were quickly surrounded by the posse
and tossed in the town clink. A prisoner
exchange ensued, with the Green Berefs
releasing their captives and Sheriff
Walker keeping his overnight just for
good measure.
Now it would be possible, in fact it
wouldn’t be a bad idea, to raise a stink
about what on God’s good earth the
National Guard thinks it’s doing. But on
a more cosmic matter, it’s finally evi
dent where we went wrong in Vietnam.
Back when the Kennedy administration
was sending Green Berets, it should
have been sending Sheriff Walkers. —
