Tai Heelia
Says Ranldi
Whalt is the answer when big
decisions are being made over
whether we shall live or die over
which we have no control?
“Contribute the best of your
own character to make a better
world.” Edward L. Rankin, Jr.,
Raleigh public relations expert
and for many years a guberna
torial secretary, answered his
own question before, members of
the lions club Tuesday night.
Mr. Rankin led up to his con
cluding remarks by outlining the
ingredients which make a good
community and a good state.
“Kings Mountain must sell
Kings Mountain,” he declared.
Noting that both Statesville
and Gastonia have enjoyed re
markable growth, he said that
in Statesville it is possible to get
all the necessary industrial ans
wers by seeing not i:more than
four persons and he quoted a
new industrial! settler in Gaston
ia as saying, '"Gastonia had the
answers at her fingertips.”
The basic demand is “local
leadership, with local support,”
he added.
Declaring the basis of the A
therioan way of life is.freedom of
tbc individual, ho listed by aids
to well-being: 1) moral adminis
tration ; leadership factor oJ the
guiding staff; and I the news
spotlight with which public af
fairs are presented.
Mr. Rankin contends North
Carolina is somewhat different
from other Southeastern states,
says the principal reason is the
North Carolinian himself. He
says ithe amalgamation of vio
lent Anglo-Saxon, dour Scot and
hard-working German, accom
panied by the stale’s colonial
days hardships and lack of good
ports for trade, has produced a
rugged independence .of charact
er which is still shown in the
fact the state is the lone one noWi
granting its Governor tithe veto,
Lack of urban centers and the
wide divergencies between East
and Fair West, plus the ravages
of the depression has I increased
greatly the importance of state
level government, he added, no
ting tiie highway, school, wel
fare, mental care and other func
tions.
"The Governor is the Number 1
figure. However,” he continued,
“ideas sitart at the grass roots
level.”
He noted that a Wilmington
television announcer advanced
the idea which put the TJSS North
Carolina in home waters.
Martin Hannon presented Mr.
Rankin.

High School Plant Bond Election
Appeals Step Nearer, Says Davis
The area moved another step
toward k high school plant bond
election this week.
J. R. Davis, attorney for the
board of education, reported re
ceipt of instructions from the
board’s New York bond attorneys
in which he was told to obtain
application for calling the elec
tion from the state's ideal govern
ment commission.
This is the prelude, Mr. Davis
said, to preparation of formal no
tice of intent to call the election
and at the resolution to open
registration books.
Meantime, B. N. Barnes, super
intendent of schools, said the.
board has not met on its sche 1
duled business to commission an j
architect due to hospitalization
of Trustee B. Holmes Harry, of;
Grover. Mr. Harry is now recupe- j
rating at home and Sup*. Bames
guessed it would be several days
before Mr. Harry would be able
to attend a session.
"Employing the architect is
next item on the high school
plant agenda,” Mir. Barnes re
marked.
In the absence of a board
meeting, Supt Barnes declined to;
guess whether the board of ed-;
uoation would press for a Decern- j
ber election or endeavor to join
the county district, which is:
seeking to hold a bond issue e
lection in January for the same
purpose — construction of high
school plants Bums and Crest.
What amount the bond issue
will be the board of education
has not indicated, but a figure of
$1,000,000 to $1,100,000 has been
mentioned. The board has on
hand about $250,000 in capital
outlay funds.
VENERABLE CHURCH HISTORY — Shiloh Presbyterian church, pic
tured as it looks today, was constructed in 1926-27. However, this
plant is successor to numerous other buildings in various locations
dating prior to 1785. the most traditional date being 1780.
Shiloh Founding
Placed At 1780
Grover Church
Among Oldest
In This Area
Sliiloh Presbyterian church, at
Graver, is one of the area’s old
est churches.
The traditional date of ifbs or
ganization is 1780, though this is
not currently established, due to
a fire which destroyed the rec
ords prior to 1785. At any rate,
the church was organized by
Orange Presbytery and appeared
on this Presbytery’s roll in 1785.
The following year, Shiloh was
transferred to South Carolina
Presbytery.
The first two churches, both of
logs with earthen floors, were
burned.
This early Church had Sts dif
ficulties, without a rtgufcir iKis
tor (for the first two decades, and
iwith only an occasional supply
pastor sent toy Presbytery. It had
no nearby church utfith which to
be grouped, and, for more than
100 years, Was served by minis
ters served 'by relatively long dis
tances. The Civil War too brou
ght heavy difficulties, as the
Church burned in 1863. Decision
was made to worship with the
(Hopewell church nine miles dis
tant.
After returning from Hopewell,
the membership numbered three
males, nineteen females and 38
'Negro members. Incidentally, a
(building erected in 1871 was sub
sequently sold to a Negro group
about 1882. This Negro church is
Methodist but uses the name
Shiloh.
Shiloh Presbyterian church be
came Tar Heel subsequent to
1872 and the building of the Sou
thern 'Railroad. The town of
Whitaker, later named Grover,
sprang up and the church moved
to Grover in 1882, and, thereby,
from Bethel Presbytery in South
Carolina to (Mecklenburg Presby
tery, North Carolina. Rev. M. R.
Kirkpatrick was minister for
three years, i
The present structure was
built in 1926.
Early day ministers of the
church were Revs. W. C. Davis,

Margaret Hoffman Outlines Work
In "Christmas" letter From Ghana
(Miss Margaret Hoffman, for
mer teacher at Kings Mountain
High School and daughter of Dr.
and Mlrs. E. J. Hoffman of 810
W. Mountain Street, is in Africa
studying the language of the
Akposo, a small native tribe who
inhabit the border region of
Ghana and Togoland.
The language of the Akposo,
and related dialects, has hereto
fore never been recorded. It is
Miss Hoffman’s job to translate
the gutteral tones of the lang
guage into written words, com
plete with grammatical rules.
She is in Africa for tlVe survey
on a Ford Foundation grant. The
results of her survey are far rea-;
aching. The written language
will be of great use to mission
aries. who formerly had to jour
ney to the country and learn the
language directly from the nativ
es before being able to preach or
teach.. i
- The survey is also important
in diplomatic circles, since here
tofore dealings in such countries
yeere handled through interpre
ters.
Miss Hoffman's annual Christ-;
