Favor Bonds
Mayor Kelly Dixon Wednes
day added his endorsement to
the forthcoming school construc
tion bond issue, ito be considered
by votters of the school district
on March 10.
“I think It’s a good move, for
the classrooms are badly need
ed,” the Mayor said.
He added he agreed with the
opinions of some that costly con
struction "frills” should be a
voided.
Numerous clubs and organiza
tions have lent their support to
the $1,100,000 'bond issue pro
posal, the latest being the Kings
Mountain Kiwanis cluib and the
Grover Dions club.
Previously endorsing the bond
issue were ithe Kings Mountain

Lions Add $100
To Bible Fnnd
$100 contribution from Kings
Mountain Lions Club brought
the Bible-dn-the-Schools commit
tee of ithe Ministerial Association
closer to Its expanded budget
committment for the current
school year, Treasurer Paul Aus
ley reported Wednesday.
An additional $828 is needed to
even the budget for the year.
The budget got out of kilter on
two counts: 1) Ithe general state
wide teacher pay increase; and
2) the fact that the Bible teacher
up-graded her teaching certifi
cate to an "A”.
iDr. Ausley said Wednesday
some school area citizens feel that
Bible teacher is paid from funds
raised by the 20 cents supple
mentary school tax, but noted
the assumption is false.
“The total support of the Bible
in-the-Schools programs comes
from the areas churches, the
Ministerial Association, and oth
er friends” the pointed out.
Contributions last week from
a business firm, Second Baptst
church and David's Baptist chur
ch amounted to $135.
‘The Bible committee deeply
appreciates these contributions
and yearns for additional ones,”
Df. Ausley commented.
Civic clubs have been asked
for aid.
Other committee members are
Dr. W. L. Fressly and Rev. J. W.
Phillips.

City Is Expected
To Call Gas Bonds
;
Action Likely
At Regular
Board Meeting
The city board of commission
ers probably will act Thursday
night on instructions from the
Local Government commission
secretary to redeem outstanding
gas system bonds within limits of
monies now held in the gas sys
tem bond redemption fund.
The bond covenant provides for
redemption at particular periods
within the year at a premium not
to exceed four percent.
The city now has about $150,
000 in the redemption account,
currently owes $370,000 in bond
ed indebtedness.
(Latest retiring bonds are re
quired to 'be redeemed first.
City Clerk Joe McDaniel, Jr.,
says commissioners have indicat
ed privately they will vote to re
deem the bonds.
Chief variance in the city and
Easterling’s position is one word.
The city has interpreted the bond
covenant to provide optional
choice on undue bond redemp
tions, while Mr. Easterling inter
prets the provision to be manda
tory.
Other items on the Thursday
night agenda are comparatively
routine, Mayor Kelly Dixon said.
'Among them are:
1) Holding a hearing on sever
al street improvements assess
ments.
2) Consideration of requests
for vapor street lights by East
Gold Wesleyan church and by
Roy Mauney, for the corner of
Katherine avenue and Groves
Street.
3) Consideration of purchase
of a lot for installation of pro
posed switchgear equipment as
recommended in an electrical
system survey.
4) Consideration of a request
by George Moss, water plant su-j
perintendent, for purchase of
tank level transmitter equipment,
estimated to cost $945.
5) Consideration of a proffer
for a 25-foot square strip of pro
perty adjacent to East King Esso
Service.
The board will convene at 7
o’clock at City Hall courtroom.

Roses Aie Red, Violets Aze Rlue,
Valentine Offering Of Many Hues
What happened to the senti
mentality of St. Valentine's Day?
Where went the endearing phra
ses on the lacy cards? Some of
today's Valentine messages say,
“You want to be loved? Try the
yellow pages!”
And... “It’s St. , Valentine’s
Day, and on this auspicious oc
casion, I thought you’d like to
hear from a secret admirer. So,
if I run into any, I’ll certainly let
you know.”
And...“Dear, if yoo’ll be my
Valentine, I’ll bring you compas
sion, happiness, love,' all the fi
ner things of life, .and DEBTS”!
And.. .“Roses are red, Violets
are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so
are you ... Well, wlhat did you
expedt for a quarter? ORIGI
NALITY!”
And finally ... “Since I can’t
be with you on Valentine’s Day
.. .1 hope you don’t mind if I go
out with your best friend.”
These are actual quotes from
Valentine cards available at most
drug stores.
Ah, romance. j
But there are still some prim
verses in circulation. To wit:
Valentine throught for Someone
■Dear...
“You’ve a certain way about
you,
That makes you very dear,
Your’e that special kind of per
son,
Who is pleasant to be near — '
That’s why it’s such a pleasure
To remember you this way,
And send the warmest wishes,
For your happiness today.
An for the much ultra-romantic,
this nifty little verse comes in a
double size card with laoe and
ribbons:
“With every day that passes
Dear—
Your love means more and more
You add a meaning to my life, j
I never knew before.
You bring me so much happiness,
By all you say and do,
It isn't any wonder,
That I’m so in love with you,”
AH, ROMANCE!

Barnes Outlines
Bend Details
"Our proposed new consolida
ted high school ds going to cost
us. It’s going to cost about a
million dollars. But by spending
money for temporary patch-up
work and quonset hut class
rooms, we’re throwing money
down a rat hole,” Supt. B. N
Barnes declared in addressing
the King's Mountain Kiwanians
Thursday night.
Supt. Barnes was outlining th<
need for a new high school to the
group.
Mr. Barnes reported that 811
students are enrol led for the pre
sent 1961-62 high school tenm.
Based on present school figures
(not accounting for students who
might move to the area or drop
out) the 1962-63 high school en
rollment will be 1.048, escalating
to 1,183 for the 1963-64 term. En
rollment will peak in the 1964
65 term with 1,243, dropping sli
ghtly (the next year to 1220.
“This is alarming,” Supt. Bar
nes said, ''because we don’t have
room ait Kings Mountain high
schol for the 817 there this year.”
Barnes noted it is possible dou
ble sessions will be necessary be
fore the proposed new high
school is built.
He said all available high
school classrooms are in use and
three temporary quonset struc
tures have been, or arc being, e
rected at the plant site on Ridge
Street. The band has its head
quarters in the former school
garage. The superintendent’s ad
ministrative offices were moved
to new quarters in a residence
adjacent to the school to make
more classroom space avai labile.
The bulge In school population
has affected not only high school
departments, but also elemen
tary schools, he said.
He noted all elementary I
schools within the city limits are,
taxed by overcrowded conditions,
