(Conttntied From Front P«me)
consolidation for this area has
been delayed until the will of the
citizens can be determined.
He said that even though the
patrons in the No. 4 Township
area might refuse to approve an
nexation to the city system, it
would still toe too late to carry
out a consolidation program for
next year’s term.
Plans of the county board al
this time are to bring grades 10
11, and 12 from Lattimore and
Mooresboro to Boiling Springs;
from Casar find Piedmont to
Polkville; and from Belwood and
Waco to Failston.
To make room for these extra
students at the three schools, low
er grades, beginning with the
ninth and continuing on down as
far as necessary, will be moved
to the other two schools in each
consolidated district, filling pla
ces left by pulling out the three
top grades.
The superintendent said this is
a temporary set-up and he and
the board so informed the state
board this week.
• Under the-plan, Boiling Springs
consolidated district is Unit 1;
Polkville is Unit 2, and Failston
is Unit 3. If No. 4 Township area
does nof consolidate with the
Kings Mountain City District,
Grover and Beth ware will send
students in the three top grades
to No. 3 school and that district'
will be known as Unit 4 under
the temporary set-up.
Turkey Minus
Cranberries?
Will the Thanksgiving turkey
miss its usual cranberry accom
paniment?
That depends on the cook, gro
cers in this area say.
Raised eyebrows were turned
on the innocent - looking cran
berry this week, when the Fed
eral Trade commission announced
that shipments out of Oregon and
Washington were contaminated
due to spraying and could cause
cancer in mice.
Spot-check of grocers in this
area toy the Charlotte Observer
indicated firms ip this area get
their cranberries from Eastern
states.
But some folk say they're will
ing to forego crartberries and
find a substitute for the red
sauce, jelly and salad ingredient.

lower per capita income than
many other states."

Freshmen and sophomores at

his grade level in the country.
This evaluation of educational
strengths and weaknesses, says
Mr. Jaynes, helps students plan
their high school and college
courses and make career decisi
ons. The tests also enable tea
chers, to spot talented students,
so that they may receive realis
tic guidance and motivation ear
ly in their educational career, he;
