Topographic
Study 0! Site
Near Complete
By MARTIN HARMON
Architects for the new high
school plant are ready to confer
with the board of education con
cerning specific Ideation of t he
high school plant on the seventy
plus acre Phifer Hoad site.
“There are several possibili
ties,” Architect Fred Van Wagen
ingen said Wednesday. “We’ll
suggest the one we think best,
get the board’s ideas, then also
confer with the Division of
School Planning of the State-De
partment of Public Instruction.”
Meantime, a partially complet
ed topographic map has been
obtained on the high school plant
site, and the complete topograph
ic report is due early next week,
Mr. Wageningen added.
The architects previously have
declined to foresee a bid date
on the new plant to accommodate
area high school students, though
it was Indicated a minimum of
three months from the site se
lection date would be required
for preliminary sketches.
•Kings Mountain school district
citizens voted in March to auth
orize the borrowing of $1,100,000
to build the high school plant.
There followed considerable dis
cussion and attention to Site se
lection before the Phifer Road
site was chosen on 3 to 2 vote.
Initial hopes of occupancy of
the bidding by the opening of
the 1963-64 term a year hence ap
pear unlikely of fruition.

Theatre Group
Names Peeler
B. S. Peeler, Jr., Kings Moun

'Mr. Gray also announced that
try-outs for “Send Me No Flow

production of the season, will he

Thursday at the Little Theatre
building, Clay St Extension.
“We’re calling on talent from

and want you to feel that Gas
tonia Little Theatre also belongs
to you as to Gastonlans. .” he
added.
The first show of the season,
“Send Me No Flowers,” a Broad
way comedy hit, tells the story
of a man who believes he is
about to die, after he hears the
family doctor taming - bn the
phone about antttber patient,

Charter Volunteer Charles Hilling
Quitting Fire Department Frida;
By MARTIN HARMON
“I suspect that fire siren will
still waken me," thinks Charles
G. Dilling, volunteer fireman
since organization of the Kings
Mountain fire department, and
retiring Friday.
His fire-fighting experience has
been long and varied-officially
since May 22, 1931 and has in
cluded many experiences, some
tragic, some painful, some hum
orous.
The most tragic was the death
of Volunteer Carl Davidson, ano
ther charter member of the force,
who was killed answering an a
larm when his car skidded on the
wet street. The fire: a garbage
can near Central school.
Fireman Dilling and the de
partment’s first chief, the late
Grady W. King, had the distinct
ion of fighting the department’s
first fire. Mr. Dilling recalls
that the 1991 La France fire truck
had just arrived and was housed
in Mr. King's Garage (now Grigg
Garage). Early in the morning.
Chief King was answering an *
larm to the Sid Morris home at
the corner of Gamier street and
I Waco road. Mr. DilUng jodnet
him.
“There were only three joint.1
of hose but we hooked up am
fought the fire hard. All we save
was the concrete steps to th<
front pordh.” he recalls.
'Fire - fighting methods have
changed in the intervening 31
years, most beneficial, from the
standpoint of property loss, the
use of foam in fighting smaller
fires, rather than water.
“We could do a better job if wt
knew where the fire originated
but usually that’s camouflaged b?
smoke. Water damage in all bui
the major fires, was usually
greater than fire damage.” he
comments.
Mr. Dilling has fought some di
sastrous fires here, among the
major ones he recalls being the
Central school fire of 1932, the
fire which gutted Southern Bel)
Telephone Company's exchange
in the forties, and the fire in the
Peeier Thomasson building, then
occupied by Griffin Drug Com
pany now occupied by the barber
shop of Fire Chief Pat Hgnor.

City's Taxable
Valuation Total
Is $11,743,371
Taxable valuations of the City
of Kings Mountain should total
$111,743,371, up handsomely by
$875,000 over last year’s taxable
valuation of $10,857,516.
lAs previously reported, all of
and increase is attributable to
business and industry, while per
sonal valuations dropped slightly.
Tax supervisor Joe McDaniel
Jr., guessed that the valuations of
individuals Showed a slight de
cline largely through deprecia
tion of personal property, chief
ly automobiles. Autos are listed
for tax purposes by Wholesale
value.
The increase in taxable values
will produce a tax levy of ap
proximately $178,000, including
the $2,360 from the city’s two dol
lar poll tax on men between the
ages of 21 and 50.
This compares to the $165,000
approximate total of last year
and to the $145,000 the current
city budget estimates will be pro
duced from the $1..50 per $100
ad valorem tax rate.
Assuming 90 percent collections
during the fiscal year, which Mr.
McDaniel thinks will be attained
easily, the tax levy Should pro
duce a surplus of $15,000.
All taxable values are on the
ledgers with the exception of
Southern Railway Company’s,
which is included at last year’s
$188,000 figure. This valuation is
supplied by the State Board of
Assessment.

Temple Baptist
Church To Call
Bonds October 1
Temple Baptist Church has
notified holders of dts first mort
gage 'bonds that it is calling the
bonds for redemption as of Oc
tober 1, with Interest payable to
that date.
The dhureh embarked on what,
for the church, was a neiw means
of financing a 'building program
in early 1959. The church was
authorized ito issue $60,000 in
in bonds. W. W. Moorehead,
treasurer, said a total of 82
bonds of various denominations
was issued, but he did not recall
the gross amount of bonds sold.
The amount Sold was not the
fully authorized amount
Ben iH. Bridge, secretary
treasurer of Kings Mountain
Savings & Loan association, said
the dhureh had arranged a loan
at his firm as a refinancing loan
for redeeming the bonds out
standing. He said it had been
indicated the Church would re
quire from $28,000 to $30,000 for
this purpose. .
“I understand,” he added, “the
church contemplates no immedi
ate building program, though
the change in financing arrange
ments might pre sage a building
program in the nenarer future.’
He said the church had more
than met its 'bond committments
and had decided the benefits of
a direct reduction plan of debt
retirement would be beneficial.
The Temple church bonds carry
interest coupons of five percent,
payable on April and October 1
to maturity.

Baines Reports
Class Overloads
At Minimum
Kings Mountain district school
pupils — 4163 of them — went
to school Wednesday for orien
tation day activities and will
begin full-day schedules Thurs
day.
Wednesday’s activities includ- •
ed enrollment, issuance of books
fee payments and assignments.
Orientation day enrollment
was one short of last year’s 4164.
Superintendent B. N. Barnes
predicted an enrollment increase
during the first few days of
school, a normal occurrence.
Pleasantly surprising to school
officials was the fact only 16
would-be first graders had to be
refused enrollment because they
had not been immunized against
small pox and other corrununi- •
cable diseases.
Kings Mountain high school
logged 952 students, up 98 from
last year’s orientation day, and
sufficient, as expected, to quali
fy the school for an additionally
allotted teacher by the state.
How much total enrollment
will be or how it will compare
with last year’s figures, Supt.
Barnes declined to predict. “As
you know,” he remarked, “we
anticipated less elementary pu
pils and more high school stu
dents.
Opening day enrollments
could be compared at mo-it
schools, not at Bethware, due to
assignment shifts.
At Bethware, bulwarked' by
the addition of former Central
eighth grades, enrollment jump
ed to 588, up 195 over last year.
Compact enrollment was down
slightly, by two in the high
school to 198 where Principal L.
L. Adams anticipates an in
create, and dlwn 27 in the ele
mentary school, from 371.
Park Grace was ail even at
207, while space - shy Weat was
down one ait 327. East school
showed an increase of ten at
447, and Davidson recorded a
decline of ten at 328.
North school enrolled 378, off
26, but anticipated by Principal
Howard Bryant, who says atten
dance is chronically low at this
school during the initial two to
three days. Grover recorded 378,
off 17 from last year.
Central school is housing this
year only the high school, with
exception of the special educa
tion class for the edueable re
tarded. Mrs. Edna B. Hendricks,
the teacher of this group, said
16, all her students law yeaT,
reported to her class Wednesday.
Supt. Barnes reserved two Cen
tral classrooms for this group,
is still hoping to employ an ad
ditional teacher, as has been bil
leted by the state department of
instruction.
Cafetetlans will be open *t all
schools Thursday.
Supt. Barnes said the board of
eductation wfti convene s©on to
consider applications for trans
fer from school assignments. He
dbiftmented, "It has been the
board of education policy^to de
fer action on these requests un
til after school opens. The board
has endeavored to accommodate
parents desiring transfer of their
children where teaching loads,
permit."
He said teaching load prob
lems appeared to be at a mini
mum Wednesday.
He mentioned several under
loads from the 30 norm and li Jt
ed these over loads: Bethvviire
seventh grade with 38 pupils.
East school sixth grade with 73
ennollees for two teachers; Pork
Grace fifth grade with 35 pu
pils and West school fifth grade
with 36.
Optimists To
Hypnotist Ducats •*
Tickets go on sale by the Kings
Mountain Optimist club this
weekend for the Hynodrama
stage show the club is sponsor
ing here on the night of Septem
ber 8.
The show features a hypnotist
who demonstrates, he claims, all
phases of hynosis and then
brings the shew to a climax with
a demonstration of “catelepsy”.
A subject is hypnotized, his body
becomes cataleptic (rigiid) and
then, supported by chairs fron
his heels and neck only, in a
horizontal position, he feels no
strain when others stand on his
abdomen.
Free public preview of the af
ternoon show will be a public
demonstration Saturday after-'
noon, when the hypnotist, while
blindfolded, will drive a car
through the city’s streets. Opti
mist officials say Acting Chief of
Police Paul Sanders has agreed
t» be a passenger.
