Parking Meter Haters Parking meter.s have never been the most popular public institution. There's .something very depressing — perhaps humiliating — to return to a vehicle and find two red flags up: 1) the over-parked flag on the metei and the invitation to pay (or else) nee.My tucked under the windshield wiper. With the growth of plenty-of-free- parking shopping centers, merchants, who never cottoned to the meters have become more and more interested in seeing their demise. Latest mercantile effort among sev- ei-al noted recently is in Smithfield, where a merchant group is belaboring the town fathers to put the meters to pasture. Chairman of the protestants, however, doesn’t appear very modern in his suggestion that in lieu of meters Smithfield return to the good old days of the walking officer with chalk stick —who also passed out invitations to pay. The obvious answer is parking areas in the principal business areas. To make them free the retailers will have to provide them, at least in North Carolina, where this conservative slate has pei-mitted cities to provide public parking but not the free variety. Were it not tor Souhern Railway, which has made its leftover right-o(- way on Battleground and Railroad ave nues available for parking, Kings Moun tain’s situation could be much worse. And the red flags only cost a quar ter here, but it’s a dollar and more in .some places. Kings Mountain got into the meter business 24 to 25 years ago. For a time the business district had a somewhat dead look, as 80 “regulars" were moved off the metered streets. The answer remains business’ own parking area, whether owned by indi vidual busines.ses as exampled by the super markets and financial institutions, or group-owned the way the shopping centers provide free parking. I Mrs. Cora Long Rhyne The death of Mrs. Cora Long Rhyne removed from Kings Mountain a lady wiho gave long and valiant service to a legion of youngsters under her menage as teacher and principal of West Ele mentary school. One of her pupils in the fifth grade was her son, Myron, he re calls. Mrs. Rhyne had the reputation of running a taut ship, to use navy par lance. both in her classrooms and in her school, which she served as principal lor many years. After retiring, she was happy to be on call for substitute duty, as long as her health permitted. She had charm, intrepidity and wit and enjoyed laughing at herself more than at others. A fine wile, mother and grandmoth er, she was a good businesswoman and a devotee of the Lutheran church. Revenue-Sharing A few weeks ago the Herald pub lished a news story on the bill for fed eral revenue-sharing with cities and counties and reported the bill at that time w’ould provide .$59,000 for Kings Mountain this year. In recent days news stories have Kings Mountain’s share at S125,000, How nice! Well, the Mayor called Representa tive Jim Broyhill’s office Wednesday to learn that the figures had run afoul of a computer error. The situation as of Wednesday aft ernoon, according the Congressman’s office: 1) The bill is before a House-Senate conference committee to harmonize the differences. 2) It is expected that a revenue sharing bill will go to the President for his signature not later than October 14, when Congress anticipate.^ adjourn ment. . The Cliif-Hanger It doesn’t happen that way many times but it sometimes does. Back in the late thirties a High Point judge defeated a Durham lawyer ior Congress by a margin of 16 votes out ot more than 31,000 ca.st. In Kings Mountain in 1951, Lloyd Davis won for the city commission by seven. On the recent Saturday opponents scored an eight-vote victory over pro ponents of the county district $4 mil lion bond issue. (Ti’edit the cliff-hangers, like the landslides, to democracy and the demo cratic process of the ballot. Cleveland, like much of the Pied mont Carolinas, is growing. County school officials were doing what Shelby district did successfully on Saturday and what Kings Mountain di.s- trict will attempt to do in December— get ready for increasing school popula tion. School buildings don’t go from drawing board to occupied plants over night. Lead time is needed. County officials have made some comment about a re-offer, but this pend.s a check on legalities and other paints. Vitamin C A team of scientists have confirmed that extra heavy dosages of Vitamin C is the best preventive of the common cold. Perhaps the oldest saw known is the doctor’s alleged answer to a cold victim’s question about a cure; “Take a lot of medicine and wear it out in two weeks. Don't take any medicine and wear it out in two weeks.’’ After the sulpha and mycin drugs the line was supposedly added, “I can cure pneu monia, can’t do anything for the com mon cold." Dr. Linus Pauling got first head lines with his statements praising Vita min C as a cold preventive and some criticism with it. Some medical men charged that the claim was invalid, oth ers that over-do.sage of Vitamin C would produce harmful side effects. The reasearch team says not so. It has long been a medical principal that Vitamin C is needed daily because it is not stored in the human system. The only harmful side effect the Herald recalls appeared in the Wall Street Journal which reported that a fellow who was developing a red body coloring devoui'ed tomatoes as if each were the last he’d ever find. Our British friends get the nick name of “limeys" from the old unrefri gerated days of sailing when limes were aboard in quantity to prevent scurvy. Dr. Pauling didn’t figure the aver age person would like the tomato de votee and recommends supplementing Vitamin C foods and juices with pills, which are perhaps cheaper than com parable food bearers of Vitamin C.

Nick, is the Republican nominee tor North Carolina attorney-gen eral opposing the incumbent “Lit tle Bob’’ Morgan and, as far as 1 know, is the first Kings Moun tain native to become a candi date for state-wide office. He was accompanied by his friend Mike Duflos. When I re- checked the spelling of his sur name, I suggested, “Believe you have a little Greek in your back ground.” He replied, “Right much.’’ He’s a Brooklynite who became friends with Nick at Duke, where Nick has done some part-time teaching of anthropo logy. Mainly, of course, Nick is in the legal profession with a de gree in Jurisprudence which he earned at law school at Chapel Hill, after doing his undergrad uate study at the University of Tennessee. Nick is disappointed the Volunteers no longer play Duke and Carolina. )>7 OrUB4« SiDtfad PoblltlifrteHlill SyndickU KINGS MOUNTAIN Hospital Log VISITING HOURS DaUy 10i30 to 11:30 AM. 3 to 4 PAL and 7 to 8 PAL m-m Nick has done some work as an assistant solicitor in Durham county, has some worthy ideas on the drug problem and on speeding tht! settlement of liti gation generally.
