IShe spoke of the closely knit ted family life and of the slight ly different place of the woman in society. “They do not work”, She said, “but stay home and care for the children.” 'Domestic help is quite econom ical, but the women .‘have fewer luxuries than American house wives, She said. There are few re frigerators as these are imported from America and thte price of a 4-foot model was quoted at $800. She discussed differences in cooking and eating. Meat, which is scarce, is served quite rare, and Nancy remarked, “I even ate horse meat!” She added that it was very Similar to hamburger and that she "didn’t know the ! difference until it was too late.” | Eating lots of bread, potatoes ;and pastries keeps the populace “a little chubby.” Nancy found it odd, she said, to have attended Church only twice during her stay. There are no activities for young people, however, ^he Bible and religion were frequently discussed by her young ‘'brothers and sisters" in the home. •Following her talk, Nancy showed colored slides showing pictures of the two families with whom she stayed, their respective homes in Bussum, a suburb of Amsterdam, and Arnhem in the Eastern part of the country, and other points of interest.

Hazel Lee GUI foi Waid5 Commissioner 1 [ I seek the office of Ward 5 Commissioner because I am a | citizen of Kings Mountain, a taxpayer of Kings Mountain, my I business is located here, and I am qualified to represent not part of but all the citizens of Kings Mountain. I understand the problems of the low income peoples. I worked for Bridges and Hamrick Hardware Company in Bessemer City for lour years. When the store was sold to El more Bridges and the late R. C. Gold, I worked for them for an additional four years. My next Job was driving a truck for a paving company in Kings Mountain. I'then became employed by Kerns Bros. Trucking Company. After saving enough money to make a down payment on a new IV2 ton truck, I worked a two week's notice with Kerns Bros, and began a hauling business of my own, known as the Hazel Lee Gill Trucking Service. I have operated successfully since 1947. My trucking firm has rendered good servi.ce for the industrial firms and individuals of Kings Mountain. I have hauled products and materials for Elmer Lumber Company, Kings Mountain Mica Company and Bennett Brick and Tile Company. Bennett Brick & Tile Company was very small when I began to render service to them. For three years I had char ge of sand hauling for all its construction jobs and assisted with c.ay and brick hauling for many years. For the past nine years I have been in charge of all mica loaded in rail cars for Kings Mountain Mica Company. In 1952 my brother-in-law and I organized the Gill and Brown Funeral Home. We have offered day and night service. I am also a licensed funeral director. When voting, you will want to vote for a man who has shown by his record in civic and community affairs that he is concerned with the whole community. If a man can operate a trucking business for 13 years and contribute better service far the individual and business man, he must have some fore sight. Since 1955, Gill & Brown Funeral Home has presented community news each Sunday at 9:30 a. m. over Radio Station WKMT. The news, covering items about schools, churches, and social news, has been reported by me in the public interest. I am looking ahead for a greater Kings Mountain, 1 have always been interested in good government. If elected I will try to provide the kind of dedicated leadership which I be lieve will be good for any citizen ol Kings Mountain. I am not obliged to any candidate in the May 9 municipal election. 1 am not in favor of raising taxes. I always look to see how things can be done, not why they can't be done. 1 have no ax to grind. I have a wholesome and unselfish interest in serving all the people of Kings Mountain. Friends, help Kings Mountain and help yourself. On Tues day.
