SCOUT LEADER WORKSHOP A Girl Scout Leaders' work shop f.if all Kings Mountain leaders will be held at David son school home economics room January 3 at 7:30 p. m. Barnes T ook Over Superintendency In 1933, School History Reveals I " !? (Ed. Note ? The following is the seventh article of a series being written by members of the high school journalism class telling . the story of the growth of Kings Mountain city schools in the last seventy-five years. This article is based on minutes kej>t by the j school board and on interviews with former pupils and teachers.) In 1933 Superintendent Claud j ? Grigg resigned and 13. N. Barnes j was elected superintendent at the j Kings Mountain city schools, and I F. M. Biggerstaff high school, r principal. During the first seven years of . Mr. Barnes' superintendency, two j new rooms were added to David [son high school, and in 1935 it was accredited by the North Car olina State Department of Edu cation. East and Central Elementary were accredited by the same de partment in 1938, In 1937, the high school receiv dd a charter for a chapter of the 'National Honor Society, a recog ? nition enjoyed by only a relative ? ly few schools of the nation at j that time. In 1937, an election to increase the local annual tax to 20 cents on the ?100 valuation was voted. This money was used to add need ed rooms to city school buildings, to make repairs, and to construct a gymnar.lum at Central. The completion of the gymnasium en abled the high school to Institute an athletic program, that fror the beginning according to school officials, was so well planned and executed that it became a model for other schools. Pictures of the activities wet-e- used in publica tions of the North Carolina State Department of Education. At that time the state paid for the basic eight months of school and the city paid for the ninth month. In 1937 during the worst of the depression, the city was unable to pay for this last month. In order that seniors might grad uate with a diploma of high standing, the graduating class furnished funds for the last month by giving profits from the annual play to help defray the cost. The board went on record as "greatly appreciative" of this gesture and the following year curtains for the (auditorium were purchased In remembrance of the clasa. Within a few weeks .after they had been hung, lightening ?et fire to the auditorium and the new curtains were blackened by pnfoke and soaked with water. Af tor they wore cleaned and re worked, however, they showed little .damage New electric equipment was in stalled in the homr sconomics room and a "George Reed Home t Economics Department" was (granted to Kings Mountain. In 1939 the first high school annual was published. "Mile stone", the title was chosen by the annual staff. D. M. Bridges | was principal at that time and also the financial advisor for the annual. With Mrs. Weir as liter ary advisor, Jim Nickels, editor in-ehief. and Paul Neisler, busi ness tn?'inager. The Student Participation or ganization was first organized in' 1938 with Hobby Iiord as presi dent. He appointed a committee to draw up the constitution. The committee was made up of repre sentatives from each high sphOol grade. Some of the upperclass men .were Julia Pollock (Mrs. Clarence Ponk), Carolyn Prince, (Mrs. Baxter Paysourh and Faye Moss, (Mfs. Gene Goforth). The group asked 20 other schools for I copies of their constitutions, sb as t" draw up one to fit tlje needs [of the Kings Mountain school. A group of students went to Salis bury, accompanied by Mr. Hrid | ges and Paul E. Hendricks, band director, to watch hall traffic pro cedure. The Ilullender property adjoin ing Central school was purchased for additional playground space: Later the Central P-T. A. aided by the city of Kings Mountain, graded and beautified the grounds. Under an "J. Y. A. pro ject the grounds at the various schools were improved and side walks at East and Central were paved.

Jack White. Kings Mountain lawyer.- is c hairman of the Num ber ) Township ' campaign an<t had called a eommiltee meeting for Wednesday evening to com plete his solicitation organiza tion. The campaign work will be handled by several committee chairmen. In Kings Mountain, the committee break-down will Include, industrial plants and employees, professional* grocery and dry goods firms, business and individual solicitations, churches, etc. In addition, community chair men are being named for Grov er, Bclhware and Patterson drove.

'"At the fsame time, the community kiiiw s how terrible pol-io is .and it has a record oT supporting this a or; h while, -healUi-giVlng cam paign?' Mr. White said the aim of the ,-ommlttee will bo to complete its work in the shortest possible t i nie. Businessmen Not To Heport SS Quarterly "If you work, ror yourself 'and ire planning to include your name. oh thequarierly social se curity tax return you .ire to file in January for your employees^? don't.'' So says Miss Margaret if. Lowder, mana?er of the Gas tonia Social Security office. Miss Lowder reports that many sclf-emloyed businessmen who were brought under social secur ity by the 1950 amendments are under the impression that they should report their net income quarterly in the same manner (hat their employees are report ed. That isn'^ correct. Self-em ployed people report their own net earning for social security purposes only once a year, at the end of the year when they make tl.eir individual income tax re turns. Everyone who has net earnings of $400 or more in a year from trade or business; must make the annual Self-employment return and pay the self-employment tax. A form for making the re turn will be included with the in come tax fornts. Although self-employed peo ple do not make returns until early in 1952i Miss Lowder, stated tnat- they will receive social se curity credit for their 1951 earn ings just as do employees whose wages are reported quarterly by their employers. A booklet, "Do You Work For Yourself?", explaining old-age and survivors insurance as It ap plies to people who are self-em ployed, may be obtained free at the Gastonla office, she said. City May Seek Gas Allocation The city board of commission ers will hold a special meeting Monday night at City Hall at 7:30 to consider an application to the Federal Power Commis sion for an allocation of natural gas. Announcement of the special meeting was made by Joe Hen drlck, city clerk, who said the board Is designating the session as a "public meeting" and urg ing the attendance of all citizens. Barnard & Burk, engineers, hfeve been making a survey to determine the feasibility of In stalling a natural gas distribu tion system.
