NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING
Concerning our high school
bonds for Kings Mountain, I do
hope that the bonds will carry. I
think the reason that our State
bonds were defeated were that
they were out of line for North
Carolina because there were too
high. I believe if they had been
35 million instead of 65 million
that they would have carried. I
hope that our school bonds will
cany here when we vote on
them.
I have always voted for good
schools. When I went to school,
we only attended three months
a year, and walked six miles a
day (three miles each way), back
in the 1890’s. I am very glad that
our children have better opportu
nities than we did then.
I think that if the unjust sales
tax had not been put on food and
medicine, and our State bonds
had been smaller, they would
have carried. If they had put the
tax on whiskey, wine, and beer,
where it belongs, I think that the
State bonds would have passed.
I wrote Mr. Bob Morgan, our
Senator, and he wrote me a nice
letter saying that he would do
everything in his power to keep
the tax off of food and medicine.
But I think the ABC supporters
put so much pressure on our re
presentatives that they did not
give it much attention. Do you
know that North Carolina liquor
stores sales last year was $8.2
million according to the Biblical
Recorder and wine and beer were
approximately the same? Toge
ther this makes $16.4 million on
whiskey, wine, and beer, and
would have built more than 16
high schools a year. I hope that
we will get this unjust tax where
it belongs.
Respectfully yours,
W. D. WEAVER.
Drive Begins
“The Air Force Recruiting drive
is~aimed at the high school grad
uate,” local Air Faroe Recruiting
Sergeant May stated today.
“We’d like to clarify this point
as much as possible,” he explain
ed, “because today’s high school
graduate is the target of so much
advertising and publicity.. .much
of it conflicting ... that he gets
confused on this point."
The Sergeant stated that this
is what .‘sets the Air Force apart
in a class by itself.’ “We make no
(bones about it,” the Sergeant
went on. “We want highfechdOl
graduates. While it's true that
sometimes we take non - gradu
ates, in every case they must
make the same score ... often a
higher score, than the graduate
on our entrance tests.”
Sergeant May cautioned to
day’s graduates to ‘beware of im
itations’ of the Air Force enlist
ment system which allows an ap
plicant to aptitude test before en
llstment in order to determine
what type of training he is best
suited for. "Just because it melts
like the seventy cent spread does
not mean it’s butter,” he explain
ed. “By the same token, just be
cause it sounds like the Air For
ce enlistment system doesn’t
make it the same thing.”
Further information concern
ing tile Air Force enlistment may
be obtained without obligation,
from the Air Force Recruiting
Office, 2nd floor, Postoffice, in
Gastonia. In Kings Mountain at
the Postoffice each Wednesday
morning until 10:00.

Union National Bank. For instance, right now would be a good

N. C. Population
To live Million
In 1966-67
While the exact time is un
predictable, North Carolina’s
population is expected to hit the
5 million mark in 1966 or 1967.
‘Certainly, it should not be no
later than the first half of ’67,"
says Dr. Selz C. Mayo, head of
the Department of Rural Sociolo
gy at North Carolina State Col
lege.
“Incidentally,” Mayo added,
“North Carolina’s population
should reach 5 million at about
the same time as the Nation’s
population reaches 200 million."
North Carolina had 4,556,155
people in the census of 1960, or
12.2 per cent more than in 1950.
Mayo bases his estimates for
future growth on these figures.
"The growth of North Caroli
na’s population during the past
century and a half is an excit
ing story,” Dr. Mayo said.
In 1800, less than half a mil
lion people lived in the state. By
the census of 1870, the popula
tion was up to one million.
The second million was recor
ded in the census of 1910, the
third million in the census of
1930, and the fourth million in
the census of 1950.
While the number of Tar Heels
is increasing rapidly, Mayo
points out that the State’s rate
of growth was considerable und
er the national average during
decade of the ’50’s.
This was because the state had
a net loss from migration of
330,000 people. One immediate
tangible result of this migration
was the loss of one congressman.
To make North Carolina’s pre
sent growth pattern more mean
ingful, Dr. Mayo described what
is likely to happen within ore
year — 1962, for example:
‘'During these 12 months,” Ma
yo explained, “the natural in
crease (births minus deaths) of
our population will be sufficient
to build a city the size of Dur
ham.
i“We can expect to retain enou
gh of the natural increase to
produce a city about the size of
Wilmlitgton, But we will export
(lose by migration) enough young
people to produce another com
munity about the size of Bur
lington.” '11'

More New Foods

Who would have thought it 2t) or
30 years ago?
In the U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s utilization labora
tories, located in four regions of
the country, scientists are work
ing on sweet potato flakes, a par
boiled wheat product called bul
gur, a bean powder that does a
way with soaking and boiling,
whole egg powder, vegetable
Chips, and dried honey.
And there’s 'help on the way
for the housewife who despairs
of the time it takes to prepare
the so-called convenience foods.
To make instant foods live up to
their name, researchers are look
ing for ways to cut down the
cooking time of dehydrated pota
to and vegetable products. Real
ly “instant” foods, they say, are
not too far away.
Already on the market, though
sold mainly to outdoors men and
institutional users, are freeze
dried foods — foods that have
been dehydrated under vacuum
while frozen. These foods—meats,
fruits, vegetables, even casserole
dishes — keep on the cupboard
shelf for long periods of time.
And there is no shriveling or tou
gheneing of the product. When
reconstituted, they are just as
tastey, just as plum as they
were in the beginning.
Dehydrofrozen foods are al
ready on the market. To use
these, simply add water, thaw,
and cook. They taste much the
same as other frozen foods.

'Twist" Results
In Injuries
Hospital Care Association hais
paid its first claim for a member
injured doing the Twist.
The first Blue Cross casualty,
Paltrice Plummer, 14-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Pluminer, Route 1, Chapel Hill,
was hospitalized at Watts Hospi
tal for six days for surgery and
treatment of a fradtujed kneecap
suffered while doing the new dan
ce craze at a teen-age party.
Her family’s Blue Cross cover
age with Hospital Care paid the
$232 hospital ball in full.
IPatrioe, freshman at Hillsboro
High School, has almost coan
pQetely recovered from the injury
and is now participating in all
normal teen-age activities except!
physical education — and the
Twist.
Patrice now has reservations;
about the dance sensation that
has drawn frowns from orthope
dists. Her mother, a licensed
practical nurse who is .taking an
operating room course at Watts
Hospital, quotes Patrice as say
ing after the accident, “I don’t
want to hear anyone even men
tion the Twist again!”
Blue Cross officials, bracing
tor a wave of Twist claifns, share
icr sentiment.
