Ten Years Ago
Crisis 'Of Price
t
The escalating price scale of about
anything one buys has been growing
concern to virtually every citizen of the
bii.'Lwa states, be H the John Doe wxirk-
ing man, elderly persons with fi.xed in
comes, the middle class salaried man,
or even the millionaire, who finds his
problems of a less personal nature but
adding to the worries of his business or
worries about his investment.
Shortages, real or
the fire.
fictitiou.s, fuol
Another fuel to the fire was the
administration's policy in its first term.
First off, Mr. Nixon paid off the money
men by dictating a tighter money sup
ply, thereby raising interest rates for
everyone, but, perhaps most important,
the biggest debtor of them all, the Unit
ed States ol America.
In the happier days of cheap mon
ey, the late Senator Clyde R. Hoey,
hardly a wide-eyed liberal, seldom made
a speech that he didn’t tell his hearers
not to worry about the national debt,
“We used to pay six percent interest. '
the Senator would say. “Now we pay
only two percent. Wp can owe three
times the money for the same cost.’’ It
was quite obviously true.
Not so today.
Some short-term treasuiy obliga
tions would bring the investor nine per
cent.
Congratulations to William Law
rence Plonk, re-elected as president of
the Cleveland County Farm Bureau.
Another best bow in order is to
.'^trickland Charles Dalton, named to
“Who’s Who Among American Colleges
and UnivsrsitiDS.
Canard Laid To Rest
Ten years ago today a pshycolic
.self-de.scrib£i.i Marxist, who even the
Russians didn’t want, a.ssassinated
President John F. Kennedy and wound-
eU Governor John Conally in Dallas,
Te.xas.
It was November 22, 1963, and
President Kennedy, a courageous war
rior in World War II, continued courag
eous as he declined much advice, includ
ing that of Adlai Steven.son, to stay out
of Dalla.s, Te.xa.s. Mr. Stevenson ran into
trouble in Dal'la.s only a month before.
Was President Kennedy a great
one?.
Even one of hi.s closest associaU's
and speech-writers .said Wednesday
moining on an NBC-TV interview that
judgment would await some years, as
rnuch as anything becau.se of the short
time, due to Lee Harvey Oswald, that
President Kennedy served in the office.
He^courageously again—took full
i-esponsibility for the Bay of Pigs fia.sco.
When anti-Castro Cubans aborted pain
fully in an attempt to overthrow Castro.
Yea, the United States was a partner
once-removed.
He did not gain great success in
advancing his programs through the
Congress.
He did gain success in his confron
tation on price increases with the steel
industi'y.
Undoubtedly his finest hour was
during the Cuban missile crisis. He fac-
('d dowm Mr. Khushchev and brought it
off with complete success, as 1) the
missiles Mr. K was sending to Castro
and their operating hardware were re
moved and, most important. 2) tiioiv
was no shooting war.
The latest chapter, ten years later,
is another tragedy in the tragedy-prone
Kennedy family. Senator Edward’s son,
age seven, suffered a leg amputation for
bone cancer.
The pre-JFK era saw his older
brother, Joseph, a pilot, killed in World
War II, and a sister invalided for life.
After the assassination, his brother.
Senator Robert Kennedy, met the same
fate.
Now I’ed's boy.
The City of Kings Mountain is not
noted for moving ahead without due re
gard lor the law.
Thus, six days before Gillespie Con
struction Company ordered thirty-si.';
cubic yai-cls of concrete to plug the five-
foot diameter hole at the base of the
Biiflalo Creek dam, tlie city had approv
al from the state Office of Water and
Air Re.sources.
The decision of the water-air office,
detailed in a letter from D. E. McDon
ald, acting director, was not only quite
.sufficrent authority, but was based on
the law of practicality. Should the rains
arrive, as expected when winter takes
hold, the “heavy stuff”—big concrete
mixei’s and bull-dozing cats could not
find sufficiently hard footing to do the
plugging work.
E. P. Herndon, acting regional en
gineer of the Slate division of. Health
Services, was correct in one charge a-
gainst the city: some grubbing and
cleai'ing remained to be done after ttie
plug-up.
He was wrong otherwise: 1) in his
petulence concerning notification of
Himself that the plugging was to be
done; 2) in his threat to the city that
his department would put the squelcii
to future applications lor state grants
lor "clean water’’. Mr. Herndon does not
liave tile authority to deny the grants.
I hat authority lies in his department
duets’ hands, who, incidentally are most
happy to see Kings Mountain get out
of tihe “unclean water’’ moi'ass or inade
quate water supply and inadequate
sewage disposal.
Anotlier major item for considera
tion is that the October 31 plug-up
means that the Buffalo resevoir should
be over-flowing the spillway as early
as Februaii-y or certainly by summer,
depending on rainfall in the Buffalo
resevoir water-shed.
Mountain areas are considered
“sure” lor water supply. Yet, right at
the moment, Asheville and Waynesville
are praying for rain. Kings Mountain
citizens and officials of the state board
of health services remember Kings
Mountain’s recuiring troubles with in
adequate water supply. Early one De
cember, after a particularly dry autumn,
a boat was not required to cross David
son Lake. Just walk.
Mr. Herndon has shown if not irre
sponsibility, certainly lack of perception
in the recent incident.
Mr. Herndon, a licensed surveyor
but not a licensed professional engineer,
has not shown himself qualified for
elimination of “acting’’ from his present
title.
' Thanksgiving 1973
Perhaps it is a happy trait of citi
zens of the United States that they con
centrate more on the pains and straars
and minuses than on the pluses.
It focuses their attention on solving
the problems and ejecting themselves
from their slouglis of despond.
Yet, since the Pilgrim Fathers
started it, colonists then citizens have
paused in the harvest season to say
“thank you’’—the nicest words or word
in any language—for the blessings ac
corded during the past year.
It’s a very happy annual habit for
a nation which has been blessed of God,
in war and peace, sickness and health,
and in all the problems undergone for
well over three centuries.
The temporary injunction granted
Kings Mountain and other cities and
firms selling natural gas against the
Federal Power Commission order is a
most happy one. The groups know that
some cuts in allotments will be effected,
regardless of the outcome, but their
hope is to prevent the degree of cut.
