The unmarked car has ibeen In use in Cleveland County since July 1, according to Alvin Sher lin, of the Highway safety divi sion. This car is one of four in use in the patrol district, he said. Mr. Sherlln also said the use of the unmarked cars seem to be very effective since patrol rec ords show “quite a few more ar rests.” State Highway Patrolman G. P. Blakemore, operating the un marked patrol car, arrested Wal ter Lasseter, of Atlanta, Ga„ Wednesday morning on U. S. Highway 29 south, and charged him with speeding 65 miles-per hour in a 40 mile-per-hour zone.

Local Area Gas War Gets Hotter; New Price-Cat Posted Wednesday Kings Mountain s gas war wax. ed warmer Wednesday as most stations got new reduced prices from wholesale distributors and dropped retail sales tags by three cents per gallon. The new rate at majority of stations was 20.9 cents for regu. lar gas, 23.9 for middle grade, and 26.9 for top grade gasoline. McCoy’s independent station as usual, was one cent under the market as was Frank Glass Gro cery. The latter was reported blandishing his new price via ra dio. There didn’t seem to be any particular rush at uptown pumps, however, and this was attributed by one retailer to the fact the pre. sent war is area-wide. “We’re pumping some gas, of course, but no extra unusual vol ume.” he commented. I. G. Patterson, Esso distribu. tor, said the Kings Mountain area is on the western edge of the la test autnorizea gas price siasn. Prices are low in Shelby and West, but not as low as the latest prices authorized here. Customarily, in gas price war, the oil companies grant price con. cessions to their distributors, who pass the consessions on to the re. tailers. With the state and federal gas. oline taxes tataling 10.25 cents, the 20.9 cent price for regular gas left only a little more than 105 cents to be divided between oil company, distributor and re tailer. John Cheshire, also of the Esso distributing company, said Kings Mountain’s differential is as low as any in the state except in the Concord-Kannapolis area, which currently enjoys a differential of one cent per gallon greater. How long will the war last? The local folk don’t know, but they know It’s a good time for motorists to fill their tanks.

Two warning signals have Ibeen designated: (1) Warning yellow, indica tive of probable air attack, would ibe sounded toy a long steady blast of the fire siren. (2) Warning red, indicative that air attack is imminent, on the siren. It would mean that would be series of short blasts all citizens should take best a vailabie shelter immediately. ■Mr. (Hunnicutt said no “all clear” would be given in event of a red alert, but that radio, sound truck, or wardens would inform citizens that the attack ivyas end ed. Mr. Hunnicutt does not anti cipate a “red” air attack warn ing. Signals on the simulated air attack will Ibe transmitted by the State Highway patrol. Mr. Hunnicutt said that in e vent of attack, plans call for use of radio exclusively at 640 and 1240 kilocycles. All tlevision sta tions would go off the air. ‘'Knowing these signals and knowing what to do when they are given could easily mean the difference between life and death in event of actual at tack,” Mr. Hunnicutt comment ed.
