Tom Cat From
Atop Pine Tree
Lincolnton firemen answered an .
unusual call Friday afternoon—
out of the line of duty, you might j
call it.
There was no fire. Instead, res
cue efforts were required.
It wasn't a human being in dis- j
tress that needed help, but a large,!
gray tomcat.
Seems that big "Tom" had I
climbed a tall pine tree at the
Frank Chamberlain's residence on
Sumner street . . . and couldn't
be coaxed down.
“Tom ", the firemen were told j
by the Chamberlain’s, had been in j
the tree ever since last Monday, j
probably chased up the tree by a j
dog. Frightened, he had stayed]
“treed". His Increasing “meows” I
were evidence that he was hungry 1
and thirsty but he wouldn't de
scend from his lofty perch. His !
"meowing" pleas also were keep- 1
ing the Chamerlain’s awake
nights. So, came the call to the j
fii ! e department.
Driver Fitz Costner and several
other men at the department took
the aerial ladder truck to the
Chamberlain residence. The truck
was backed to the side of the
house and alongside the tree. Fire
man-electrician Joe Gilbert then
scooted up the truck’s 65-ft. lad
der. gently nicked up “Tom’',
f'om a limb and brough him down
safely. After a rood meal. "Tom",
owner unknown, was ready to re
sume his normal life of tom-cat
ling.

letter follows:
Dear Civic-Minded Friends.
! By now you are aware that The
Lincolnton Recreation Commis
sion, acting in the interest of the j
entire community, has purchased
the former Jones Airport, Swim -
i tiling Pool. Here comes the follow -
: up.
1 This opportunity canto so quick
ly and so unexpectedly that there

i ation for the purchase, so The
! Recreation Commission “stuck out
their necks" and closed the deal
by negotiating a demand note for

nuts, and oilier crops grow n m \

FALSE RUMOR
There has been a false rumor i
circulating that North Carolina |
is at a disadvantage tax - wise j
v.hen compared with other south-!
ern states. This is absolutely not J
true Mr. Douglas said. Compared t
wdth other southern states on a |
"package" basis (that is with the j
total amount of taxes levied ■
North Carolina is as low as any.
VVnilr on the subject of taxes.
Mr. Douglas said that his board
thought it unwise to offer new in
dustries tax cuts and other -mi
lar concessions. He said that the
industry should pay its owir way
and own share of taxes just is
the industries already established
here do,
STATE’S ADVANTAGES
North Carolina's main advan
tages lies in a supply of superior
labor, a good rlimate & water
and electric power, all of which
are most important items for a
prospective new industry to <on- |

that one of the most impressive
things North Carolina ran offer
