Friday. Jaaamnr 16.1 ?< i SPURT SHOTS i '3*; 11 -4 I.. ST CHARLES CARPENTER| NEW HIGH SCHOOL???? Ever since this writer returned to 1 Kings Mountain, a plan to consoll- 1 date Qep^ral high school, Bethware high school, and Grover high school,! in Kings Mountain, has been loom- i ing as an improvement that should be voted immediately. In fact, the idea has been talked over with a number of people as. j early as February, 1946. Now the pro posal seems to be even more imper- j ative than it did two years ago. If the three high schools of Number Four Township were, consolidated at Central school here, better instructors coQld be obtained for a more varied program of studies and i .' - the athletic situation would be great j ly improved with the addition of ; more students to choose the better performers from. And Bethware and Grover gram-1 mar schools would be less crowded, j 11 No building would be required at these two places. Central school could possibly be used as ?he centralized high school building, with the grammar and primary grades now at Central taken care of by construction of another building In the city to take care of those grades. A peek at the population Increase here in the last few years would pro ' bably give a hint that some building*; is going to have to be done in the school system, both in the city "and at Bethware and Grover. And the suggested program would undoubtedly cost the tax payer less iiiuncy u i\ is piannea now, witn I construction to get underway as possible. At Cntrol this year it ha bus reported that one group of primary students are doubted under a teacher that ha another class* room and that the children In the orer-flow group are quartered in a room formerly used a a storage place. It was also reported that a SNAKE wa killed in the room of* ' ' " 1 ' ' 1 1 iii. j ^r-.r<i? '?> ' > ?These famous passenger tires as littld as $2.00 down on the Lee Eqsy-Pay Plan.

It looks like much more room Is needed In the city school sys'.em for. next year and some building, pro gram will be asked of the tax payer. Aside from saving money, the above mentioned program would also give children batter education, something that, in our opinion, they now lack, regardless of the high scholastic rating of the Kings Moun tain high school. bb With the Western Carolina league now an eight-team reality, without a local team, news comes from Gastonia way that Craftspun Mills of Kings Mountain will represent this city in a two-game per week textile league. The new loop will probably supplant the Mid-State loop, which lost Lincolnton to the Wc and an tc ujr virtue 01 mat company s arop ping the baseball program, leaving only five teams. American Legion officials are con templating supporting a Kings Mountain team again if an operating fund can be raised prior to Mar'eh 1 it is understood. But it was pointed out that the team must haye much more support from fans than did the 1947 team, which loisl around $600 mostly due to absolutely no support from paying customers. If you're interested in this pro gram you can help see it through this year by letting Legion officials know you want to see a team here this summer and by attending the games regularly. Without a lot of support this year the program here is doomed. So with the two teams probably playing in Kings Mountain, local baseball fans can be assured of some diamond activity, other than the major and minor stories one can read about In the naners bb It looks like it's about time that local baseball fans should get on the ball and push a new park for the city. With conditions at games this summer looking worse than last year's, we can't see how the paying customers and citizens could bear the thoughts of another season ? the 1949 season?of sitting on the bank or taking a chance of breaking a leg to get into the temporary bleachers. No hope could be held for a new park for the coming season, but now is the time for all good basebe li - loving folks to get on the warpath and get decent facilities for sports here. Of course the same goes for the pigskin paying customers who watch football games in the same place. And while sports fansyare after im provements, addition of larger seating capacity to the Central gymnasium should also he on the calendar. The gym holds only around 550 paying fans at present-end with basketball here now gaining much ground in popularity field, additional seating room seems to be a thing to look toward doing Immediately. Perhaps another building, an athnory or city, recreational building on a self-supporting basis where large crowd-drawing events could h ?ld, would fill that bill better. ngs Mountain couia wen anora to grow in the sports field as in the business field. The Naval Air Transport Service cancelled only one scheduled flight on its "Hotshot" line, which gives direct service from Washington," D. C., to San Francisco, in its first year of operation t>f twice -daily flights. On that occasion runways at National Airport, Washington, D. C., were so heavily iced that a landing was considered too dangerous to attempt. * . . - - - IT ' T?TT*j AiVT &? ^ V^| V> V I m \nt*y ao*4wmv , _ 91 it's a new cat, or a . electrical appliances. >inical rates?it pays ?.'.'
