HONORED — Rev. P. D. Patrick
has been honored by Columbia
Theological Seminary as Out
standing Alumnus.
Seminary Honors
Rev. Mr. Patrick
Rev. P. D. Patrick, a former1
pastor of Kings Mountain’s First
Presbyterian and Dixon Presby
terian churches, is the first alum
nus of Columbia Theological
Seminary to receive the Out
standing Alumnus Award.
(Mr. Patrick, who joined the
staff of the seminary in 1958 as
director of the development and
expansion program, received the
certificate of merit at the an
nual Alumni luncheon last Tues
day. Mrs. Patrick was also an
honor guest.
Dr. J. MdDowell Richards,
president of the seminary, in
presenting the 1962 award to Mr.
Patrick, said: ‘When we began
our expansion program to raise
$5,000,090 we called Mr. Patrick
(from the pastorate on a full
time basis. It is no small thing
to leave the pastorate for this
kind of task. Tirelessly and ef
fectively he has worked. Dr.
James R. McCain once said, “I
never mind asking a man to give
money for I know if I can get
him to give money I have done
something for his soul. This re
flects something of the life of
P. D. Patrick. He knows if he can
get a mail to give his money he
has done something for that
man’s soul, for “Where a man’s
treasure is there is Ms heart al
so.’’ Here is a man who is loyal
to every aspect of the church’s
Iprogram. . . . .”
(Mr. Patrick began his active
ministry in the Synod of Geor
gia, served pastorates in South
Carolina and was superinten
dent of Home Missions of Pee
Dee Harmony and Charleston
Presbyterian before coming to
Kings Mountain where he served
for many years
'Dr. Richards made specific
references to Mr. Patrick’s work
as a home missions pastor, Pres
byterian Church extension, his
work in establishing the Minis
ter’s Annuity Fund, his record
as a memlber of the Board of Di

Legislators Favor
Change In Statute
Palmer, Morgan
Disfavor Ruling
On Cafeterias
Cleveland County’s legislative
delegation have stated they will
seek a change in the state stat
ute to permit community groups,
civic organizations, and other
non-school groups to use school
cafeteria facilities.
Recently, on request o f the
state superintendent of public
instruction, Ralph Moody, assis
tant attorney-general, gave the
opinion that school cafeteria fa
cilities could be used only by
school groups and for school re
lated functions.
Senator Robert F. Morgan was
quoted, “I certainly think that
such local groups shold be al
lowed use of school cafeterias. Of
course, I think they should pay
any expense involved, but use of
thre cafeteria facilities should not
Ibe denied.”
Representative Jack Palmer,
Jr., commented, ‘‘I can’t under
stand why civic groups are not
now allowed to use them. I will
be very willing to look into the
matter to see what can be done
and to report corrective legisla
tion.”
The county board of education
has previously passed a resolu
tion to seek aid of the county
delegation in obtaining change
in the statute.
Common Market
Trade Said Vital
“The European Common Mar

executive told members of the
Kings Mountain lions club Tues

Norman Hull-Ryder, merchan

marriage of six European na

goes in, a (foregone conclusion,
others will join and we’ll see an
economic powerhouse.”
In a forum session after his
address, Mr. Hull-Ryder said he
saw no great competitive ad
vantages the European Common
Market would have over Amer

his understanding that the fore

Hook Still Bessemer City Mayor;
Lithium Finn Against Annexation
^ t ... • . il _/U.niVl
(Mayor George Hook, of Bes
semer City, is still mayor, in
spite of his vert>al resignation at
a Monday night board meeting.
Mayor Hook, well-known in
Kings Mountain, tendered his
resignation when his board of
aldermen declined to accept his
-ecommendation to extend Besse
mer City’s western city limits,
the extension to include the
'ithium Corporation of America
plant.
L i t h i um Corporation, mean
time, “prefers not to be annex
ed”, Dean Herman, resident
manager, said Wednesday morn
ing. He amplified little, except
to say that a small portion of
the companies property is with
in the Bessemer City city limits.
Mayor Hook said Wednesday,
“I don’t blame the Lithium folk.”
However, he said, Bessemer
City has a financing problem,
with limited revenue. And he
added that Bessemer City furn
ishes the Lithium Corporation
water, which Mayor Hook de

municipal function.
Mayor .Hook said his differ
ences with hfs board concern the
matter of timing.
‘VUl,” he said, favor the annex
ation. However, they wiant to
wait until we’re ready to annex
an area to the East. That isn't
ready yet, but the other is. When
something’s ready, I believe in
going ahead.”
Mayor Hook says Bessemer
City has no profits from utilities,
as Kings Mountain does, and is
just getting starved in the busi
ness of distributing natural gas.
He said taxable valuations ap
proximate five million.
It is estimated the annexation
would mean a new 020,000 per
year tax bill for Lithium Corpor
ation.
Mayor Hook added, *‘I haven’t
given the board .my resignation i
In writing yet, bat if we don’t
straighten this out, I will at the i

"Bugs'* Bemoved
From This lfodel
The city board of commis
sioners acepted 3ow bid of
$4440.63 on a garbage pick-up
unit last Thursday,, specifical
ly a model known as the
Leach Packm aster.
A losing bidder remarked
afterward, "You mean you
bought another one of those
you had so much trouble with
before!”
It brought a quick question
from Commissioner T. X Ellison,
a commissioner when the first
Leach machine was bought in
the late forties. He asked,
‘‘These any better than that
lemon we bought before?”
The salesman assured him
the “bugs” sue out of the cur
rent model. Then the losing
bidder laughed and corroborat
ed that the current Leach pro
duct is s good one.
Putnam Appeal
Action Undetailed;
Putnam Failed
To Be Elected,
Board Rules
By HAROLD PEARSON
Elizie Lee Putnam, Republican
candidate for justice of the peace
in Number 4 township in the
November 6 general election,
was not seated by the Cleveland
County Elections Board when it
canvassed the election returns
Thursday morning. The vote was
2 to 1 against the seating of Put
nam.
J. Lee Roberts, Democratic
candidate and recipienc of the
majority vote, was seated by the
board.
Immediately following the de
cision of the elections boat'd,
county Republican leaders made
known their intentions to file an
appeal in the matter.
But action, if any, during the
intervening week appears to be
a secret from local GOP mem
bers, including Putnam himself.
The Herald Wednesday after
noon contacted Putnam’s, party
secretary Wayne Forsyth, elec
tions board member John II. Me
Brayer and Bob Maner and nei
ther could shed any light on the
subject.
Party chairman Pierce Cassedy
was out of town and could not
be contacted.
Putnam told the Herald that
he was in conversation with
Cassedy Thursday following the
elections board decision and told
the GOP chairman that he want
ed to appeal the decision.
“We are going to appeal the
decision, if it hasn’t already been
appealed,” he told the Herald
Wednesday afternoon.
Party Secretary Forsyth said
that is was his belief that an ap
peal had been made. He echoed
Putnam’s statement that if there
hadn’t been, there definitely
would be.
Elections Board Members Me
Brayer was equally in the dark.
Marrer, unsuccessful GCKP can
didate tor the county school
board, was also of the opinion
that an appeal bad been filed.
However, he decl-ineh saying that
it definitely had been filed. He
stated that he had been in con
versation with Casredy last week
and at that time Cassedy’s in
tentions were to pursue the mat
ter.
Manor stated also that Cas-!
sedy bad consulted an attorney
about the decision.
