How To Raise A Crook
To the editor:
It is a shame the number of
crimes commited in our area
in the past year. I certainly
realize all these crimes were
not commited by young
people, but a great number of
them were. I am going to list
12 things, in my estimation,
that have contributed to this
situation.
(1) Begin from infancy
giving a child everything he
wants and he will grow up
believing the world owes me a
living.
Simmons Seeking Third
Term As Commissioner
The Cleveland County Commission race now has three
candidates going into the May primary. Incumbent B.E.
(Pop) Simmons filed last week to seek reelection.
Simmons has served continuously on the board since his
appointment in July, 1964, replacing Ralph Elliott. He has
been successful in two more elections. Currently he is
serving as chairman of the board, recently reelected by
the commissioners.
“I am asking for support and the vote of our citizens in
the belief that I can be of service in helping to complete
some of the projects initiated during the present ad
ministration,” Simmons, a Democratic candidate, said in
his filing statement.
A native and still a resident of Mooresboro, Simmons is
married to the former Ida McMurray. The candidate is a
retired teacher, having worked in schools in Cliffside,
Boiling Springs, Lattimore and other area schools. He was
an American Legion team baseball coach for 11 years and
active in youth programs mostofhisadult life.
Other commission candidates are Phil Rucker (an
incumbent) and C.M. Peeler Jr., a Shelby businessman.
Drug Action Program
Aimed At 5th Graders
Cleveland County’s fifth grade teachers attended an all
day drug education workshop at Gardner-Webb College,
recently. The workshop is part of CODAP’s drug action
program aimed at fifth graders.
Dr. Bob Blackburn, drug expert at Gardner-Webb,
stated that 30 percent of Cleveland County 7-12 grade
students have tried illegal drugs. Therefore, 10 years old
is a logical group to begin “Preventative Education”,
which is CODAP’s number one objective.
This workshop was the first in a series of three
developed by Roger Sample, Drug Education Coordinator
for CODAP. Sample, Dr. Blackburn and the 24 teachers
have set out to construct a realistic drug abuse prevention
curriculum which will be implemented in the Public
Schools. A Civil Defense film was presented which gave
an overview of the drug problem on a local, state and
national level.
The participants of the workshop discussed human
values and mental health as related to drug usage. “The
average housewife could possibly be the worst drug
abuser in our community,” stated Sample, “partially due
to her own lack of propw drug education.”
The purpose of CODAP is to establish a comprehensive
Drug Action Program in Cleveland County. Priorities
include - Research, Education and Prevertion.
(2) When he picks up bad
words laugh at him. It will
encourage him to go on to
“cuter” phrases that will blow
the top off cf your head later.
(3) Never give him any
spiritual training. Wait until
heis21andthen let him decide
for himself.
(4) Avoid theuse of the word
“wrong.” It may devlelop a
guilt complex within you. This
will condition him to believe
later when he is arrested for
stealing a car that society is
against him and he is being
persecuted.
(5) Pick up anything he
leaves lying around - books,
shoes, clothing, etc. Do
everything for him so he will
be experienced in throwing
the responsibility on others.
(6) Let him read any printed
matter he can get his hands
on. Be careful the silverware
and drinking glasses are
sterilized, but let his mind by
fed on garbage.
(7) Quarrel frequently in the
presence of children, then
they won’t be shocked when
the home is broken up.
(8) Give the child all the
spending money he wants.
Never let him earn his own.
Why should he have things as
tough as you had them?
(9) Satisfy his every craving
for food, drink and comfort.
See that every desire is
gratified. Denial may lead to
harmful frustration.
(10) Take his part against
the neighbors, teachers and
policemen. They are all
prejudiced against your child.
(11) When he gets into real
trouble, apologize for your
selves by saying, “I never
could do anything with him.”
(12) Then prepare for a life
of grief - you will have it.
Proverbs 22: “Train up a
child in the way he should go;
and when he is old, he will not
depart from it”
same chill down their spines
as I did.
There, in public view, was a
preview of what the Kremlin
really looks like with all its
party chiefs, etc.
I was aware and disgusted
with the depth of contempt
and conceit working within the
mind of the man who is sup
posed to represent this nation.
Anyone with human decency
could sense and feel the inner
thought and action of the man
who seemingly could care less
about the welfare of millions
cf Americans.
Unless a leak in a great dam
is not repaired, eventually it
will become irrepairable. ’Ihe
same damage will be done in
our political system if we
continue to permit leaders to
remain and give them ruthless
power.

Standing Up
For Teacher
To the editor:
This is a letter of en
dorsement for Mrs. Daphne
Stoll, Kings Mountain school
teacher, who was recently
dismissed from teaching.
She taught two of my
children at North School, one
in the 69-70 school year, the
other in the 72-73 school year.
They both loved her and
respected her. And 1 came to
know her personally and
thought she was a very fine
teacher.
I feel that she should not
have been dismissed and
though I was unable to attend
hearing I intend to back her all
I can. I feel every parent of

"wife”; and I am proud to call
her my “friend”.
I am a member of Kings
Mountain Baptist Church, of
which Mrs. Stoll and her
family are also members and
dedicated workers. I have
known Mrs. Stoll through the
church for seven years. In
these years, she has attended
church very regularly and she
and her husband and children
have attended every church
function and social fellowship
meeting. _
Aren’t these the qualities a
good, dedicated school
teacher should possess?
MRS. KARLA MYERS
Kings Mountain
They’ve finished.
For five representatives of
the Kings Mountain Police
Department it was graduation
time Jan. 30 after three
months of schooling.
The 168-hour course was a
basic police science school
sponsored at Cleveland
Technical Institute which
began Oct. 15, 1973.
Those who finished the
rigorous course were PtI. Joe
King, Ptl. Julius Burton, Ptl.
Houston Corn, Jim Downey
(police reserves) and Mrs.
Dorothy Edwards (a school
crossing guard and mother of
KMPD Ptl. Garland Ed
wards).
The five participants
i-eceived a certificate upon
graduation and also a first aid
card for their training in
emergency medical
techniques.
Mrs. Stoll, in my opinion , is
a very kind, warm, likeable
and friendly woman. She is
certainly not a woman who
would ever harm a child in
any capacity. This is quite
evident by observing her own
children. She has 5 children of
her own and so far has done an
excellent job of raising them.
One of her children, the oldest
son, is a very good friend of
mine. He is presently working
and attending Gaston College.
Her children are certainly
proud to call her “Mother.”
1 have never been in a
classroom where she was
teaching, but I’m sure she is a
fine teacher. If not, she would
have been out of the teaching
profession long before now.
Her own children are very
well disciplined. Her years of
education and experience in
this career must surely
account for something.
The Kings Mountain Public
School System should be
(Toud to have such a fine,
upstanding, Christian woman
teaching in their schools.
Her children are proud to
call her “Mother”; her
husband is proud to call her
