JAYCEE MEETING
Nine Kings Mountain Jaycees
went to Rutherfordton Tuesday
night to attend a District Jaycee
meeting. The local delegation was
headed by President John War
lick.
No New Filers;
Politial Status
Quo Remains
Political activity for the bi
ennial city elections in May re
mained status quo as no new
candidates filed candidacy for
the six city government offices
and the two board of education
posts.
To date former mayor Glee
A. Bridges and former city tax
lister Clarence Carpenter are
the only avowed candidates for
offices in the upcoming election.
Both Bridges and Carpenter
have filed as candidates for the
mayoral position, now being
held by Kelly Dixon.
Speculation among residents
is that Dixon will file for re-el
ection and that former mayor
and peren/iial candidate Garland
Still will enter the race before
the filing de/dline.
Still first tossed his hat into
the Kings Mountain political
ring in 1947 and has been a can
didate in each succeeding elec
tion. He was elected for one
term, 1951.53.
No declaration has been forth
coming from either incumbent
commissioners or aspirants for
the five city offices. Except for
the statement of Commissioner
Ben Bridges about his possible
move outside the city limits,
thereby making him ineligible
for re-election, the city council
race is a dark matter.
Some talk circulated this week
about the possible candidacy of
W. K. Mauney, Jr., for one of
the school board terms that ex
pire this year.
Terms of Board Chairman
Fred Plonk and Philip Padgett
expire this year. Neither have
made known their intention con
cerning re-election.
Mrs. Hugh Yates
Heads Seal Drive
Mrs. Hugh Yates will serve as
Kings Mountain chairman of the
11)63 Easier Seal drive.
The drive will be held March

land County Society for Crippled
Children met Thursday night at
Willis Luncheonette in Shelby to
plan this year’s Easter Seal cam
paign.
Robe t Pace of Chapel Hill,
field representative for the state
society was guest speaker. He

plans for the coming campaign
and listed projects.

City. School
District Voters
To Re-Register
After nearly 24 years of using
the present pollbooks, Kings
Maun tain w il lhold a new regis.
tration prior to the biennal city
elections May 7.
Upon recommendation of Ma
yor Kelly Dixon the city coun
cil voted unanimously Thursday
night to call for a new degistra
tion of city voters.
The new registration is to in
clude both the city and the con
solidated school district which
is comprised of Kings Mountain,
Bethware, Grover and Park
Grace.
New registration for the city
means that every qualified voter
in the city and school district
must get his name on the new
books in order to be eligible
for the May elections.
Learning that the old books
were out of date and contained
the names of many deceased
citizens and persons who are no
longer residents, the council
voted to call for the new regis
tration rather than attempt to
revise the present pollbooks.
Pretent pollbooks have been
inu se since the creation of the
ward system here in 1939.
Mayor Dixon stated that reg.
istrars will be appointed at each
of the voting places to register
voters for three weeks following
two weeks of advertising for
the new registration.
Challeneg days will be the
two Satuidays prior to the May
7 elections.
Also on the recommendation
of Maor Dixon the council voted
to move the three polling place*
to new locations.
Throe are:
Ward 2 from the fire station
to the American Legion build
ing.
Ward 3 from Ballard's S ore
to East School.
Wa <1 3 from West School to
the Armory.
New registration will be con
ducted at these new polling
places, and registrars will bo
appointed to register voters in
the Zetliware, Grover and Pu.k
Grace communities.
In other council action Thurs
day, Davey Tree Company of
Charlotte was awarded the con
tract for trimming in connection
with the rebuilding of the city s
electrical distribution system."
Jack White, filling in for City
Attorney J. II. Davis, was auth
orized by the board to prepare
a bill to be submitted to sta: ?
Senator Robert Morgan and R
resentative Jack Palmer, call., g
for special legislation by tie
General Assembly to permit tiia
appointment of some policemen
as magistrates with police jur is
diction only.
This action was promted by
the fact that only one o f: er,
Earl Stroupe, Jr., presently ins
the power to draw warrants.
The board delayed action on
repairs at the water filte.mg
pant and both the Negro and
white swimming pools.
Installation of two new street
lights on Stone Street was ap
proved by the board.
