Golden Bulls Ready For Carolina Classic Soecial To Th» Pr»i „ Bob Moore will have little trouble rousing the interest of his basketball players for the upeopling WBT Classic at Belmont Abbey’s Wheeler Center. "We plan to be playing in front of the television cameras to show folks just what we've got,” explained forward Bleu Oliver. The championship game Satur day afternoon will be tele vised live following the Redskins-Giants NFL con test at approximately 3:30 •p.m. • Bob Moore, though, is hiore concerned about the two rounds before Satur day’s contest. “Wingate has won three of its last four and will certainly not be "any doormat," eom . mented Moore of Thursday . afternoon's 4 o'clock open ing round opponent. “They - beat a good Elon team that : beat us in the NAIA play - offs last year.” cem about the extra effort needed because the Golden Bulls are a favored NAIA power. “Every team will come at us with a greater intensity to knock off num ber one," explained the Bull mentor. “Benedict came after us with a great defensive effort in the se cond half, we are going to have to be prepared to handle every team’s best efforts, especially if we don’t knock them out when we have them on the ropes.” Against Benedict in the Charlotte Post Charities game it was the bench that provided the punch as Tim Logan, Frank Reid, Bill Tibbs and Ronnie Thomp son contributed 31 points to 14 points for the Tiger reserves. “Our experienced depth will be the key to a suc cessful season," noted Moorp r Bob Moore ...Is concerned The Bulls seem to love very little when going to the bench Moore s tront lines may be too relaxed concerning four trouble. James Gegj^g^jryjarticulgi^will^ have to learn that referees are watching the big man with a microscope. James must endure getting clob bered before a whistle is blown, but can expect that even a hand check will draw a foul when he is on defense. It's simply a part of being the dominant big man.

A child needs these values as a guide to living and making choices, be lives Dr. Leo Hawkins, ex tension human develop ment specialist. North Carolina State University. _Each day brings many" opportunities for parents to demonstrate values in practical, applicable ways, the specialist points out Simply telling a child to behave in a certain manner is not as effective as de monstrating that behavior during the course of every day living. “Values must be taught by example," Dr Hawkins _says^ Clarence "Bighouse” Gaines, third from left, listens intently as his assistant coach gives instructions during a time out at the Charlotte Post Charities Basketball Doubleheader here last Friday night at the Coliseum Caring For Your Living Tree Holiday hanninocc oon nmampntc with emoii turn to tragedy when peo ; pie are careless with de corating tree-trimming -and other activities. . "There are potential ha ■zards connected with the holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day, and people should be careful to elim inate those hazards,” said ^Emerson E. Sharpe of Charlotte, safety chairman of the North Carolina In surance New Service (NDINS) and regional manager of CG-Aetna In surance. Christmas trees are the central decoration in many homes and the most im portant safety considera tion is the tree’s fresh ness. Ken Farmer, execu tive director of the State Fire Commission in Ra leigh, said, "One way to insure a fresh tree is to go to a tree farm and cut it yourself.” If you buy a cut tree already cut, there are several things you can check, he advised. Brittle branches and shedding needles are a sign of dry ness, while fresh needles tend between the fingers without breaking. If many needles fall off the tree .When you tap it lightly on the ground, the tree is too , “When you take the tree Jiome, keep it outside with <he base in water until jprou’re ready to decorate,” ?aid Farmer. “Cut the butt end diagonally one or two inches above the original fcut. Place the tree in a sturdy, stable holder with a •wide base and fill the hold er with water until the cut ;kine Is covered. This water line should be maintained and checked daily as long as the tree is in the house.” According to Farmer, the tree should be set up a good distance from any heat source. Tree lights should be Underwriters Laboratories approved and should be checked each year, he said. Look for frayed wires, loose con nections, broken or cracked sockets and sports where bare wire is ex ;posed. Repair them or dis card them, Farmer ad vised. ; All lights should be fastened securely to the tree. No light bulbs should come into direct contact with the needles or branch es. “You shouldn’t put more than three sets of lights on any extension cord,” said Farmer, "and you should keep the con nection -Joints away from the water supply of a live tree.” It’s time to remove lights and ornaments and discard the tree when * idles begin to fall in ge numbers, he conclud ed. Farmer also suggested that lighted candles should never be used on Christmas trees. Sharpe offered some ad ditional thoughts for holi day safety. “Avoid placing breakable ornaments or ( menaing uouiea Save sewing time by mending clothes that need repair before laundering. Agitation and tumbling during machine washing and drying gets clothes clean and fluffy, but may further open split seams, tears, loose hems and but- j -tOL-:-. --- Keep 760r out-of-town friends informed on what’s happening in Charlotte by sending them a copy of the Charlotte Post each week. The cost la only $13.52 per JBSL-4 tachable parts on lower branches where small children or pets can reach them,” he said. “Every year children are treated for cuts from broken or naments or for swallowing ornament parts. Care should be taken with the placement of mistletoe and holly also," he pointed out, "because they may be poisonous.” - Fireplaces are particu larly popular during the holidays. Sharpe agreed there’s nothing like sitting in front of an open fire on Christmas Eve, if the chimney’s clean, the flue open and the fire properly laid. Do not. he cautioned. use the fireplace as an in cinerator for wrappings and evergreen boughs They can burn suddenly and rapidly, throwing ofl sparks and burning debris. Some inks used in printing also can cause toxic fumes, he said. Sharpe concluded, “A little care and safety con sciousness can keep the holiday season happy.” wmi n /'-'i « « a wmier scneauie Published Fcr City Parks The Charlotte Parks and Recreation Department has published a 12-page brochure to highlight the winter recreation schedule for the City parks system.
