jny able r Thursday, J^ly 29, |965 o KINGS C. Sunday Driver jf-‘ V FIFTH BIRTHDAY — Samuel B. Rogers, son of Mr. and Mrs. lames Rogers of 524 Belvedere Circle, will celebrate his fifth birthday Thursday, July 29. Agiicnltuie In Action LEAF PICTURE BETTER Somehow it almost seemed like a Sunday picnic as wc ob- Kervi'd the proceedings at the re cent annual meeting of the Flue' Cured Tobaeco Cooperative Sta bilization Corporation. 'Missing was the smothering pall of frustration which has hung over Stabilization's sessions in recent years. Missing was the frantic air of indecision and be wilderment. The tone of the meeting was relief. Stabilization, in fact, seemed almost stabilized. That’s not true yet, of course. Stabilization is a long way from tjeing stabilized, if you're talking about the balance between supply and demai.d in flue-cured tobac co stocks. The meeting's rosy atmosphere prevailed, we suspect, simply be- cau.se things at least are headed back in the right direction. And theie’s nothing in the immediate forecast to indicate that this liappy trend will be reversed. "The largest fiscal year-end in ventory in the leaf cooperative’s history was on hand as the 1964- (i5 books were closed. Stimulat ed sales, though, were showing rand observers attributed the J in sales to the serioius con- sioi'ration and final adoption of the aci'eage-poundage program. Over 50 per cent of the year’s sales. In fact, came during the months of February, March and April. There’s still a rocky road a- head for growers who are look ing foriward to a seller’s market. Cigarette labeling proposals are keeping the Surgeon Ceneral’s report fresh in the minds of smokers. And, in some States, to bacco’s enemies are admittedly trying to tax cigarettes off the market. Things like this won’t do much to help consumption and disap pearance along. Growers, though, have already made the big move. We suspect the 1966 Stabilization mi'eting, as a result, may be just as calm as the 196.5 session. That’s the kind we enjoy now. lE-PPENING DOT'S FLOWERS On Bethlehem Road Formerly Owned By Mrs. Charlie Blalock PHONE 739*2493 Vacation Tips For Motorists The car’s loaded, house chcck- , ed, milk slopped and you’re off for two weeks of leisure. It’s va cation time again and whether that favorite loafing place is 50, a 100 or a 1000 miles away, most Tar Heels get there trouble free in the faithful family car. Just how long it runs faithful and faultless depends largely on the care it gets from you, say officials of the Department of Motor Vehicles. A safe and reliable automobile enliances the enjoyment of any vacation. But cars can go wrong and. like bad news malfunctions usually come at the very worst time. Like on vacation. •But potential defects can be headed off. Like airline pilots, who live by checklist, motorists can adopt a similar system to keep their cars in top shape. Before starting on any vaca tion trip, Motor Vehicles Depart ment authorities say your car should rate star billing on all of these checks: 'Windshield wipers run uninter rupted, wipe cleanly without smears or streaks. Headlights aimed and focused properly, city and country beams working, lenses clean. Tires free from bulges, cuts and uneven wear. Ply cords not exposed. Steering with no more than two inches “play" in steering wheel. Wheds properly aligned. Brakes engage effectively with no excessive pedal pressure, ped al no closer than two inches from floor. Car does not swerve to one side. Handbrake holds car firm ly on any grade. Exhaust system tight, quiet and free of leaks. Glass (all around) unobscured by stickers, t acks or discolora tion. Tail and .stop lights working properly, clean and bright. Horn audible at 200 feet. 'Rear view mirror unbroken, clean and free from vibration.

C. — Three hundred complete costumes, 1200 gallons of water, six pounds of Tide and a bottle of Clorox. It all adds up to a full day's washitig for “Horn in the West” costume mi.s- tiess Mrs. iMontez King. Once a week Mrs. King washes the S34 separate pieces of cloth ing for the 80 member cast of tile outdoor drama. 'Before tlie day ends, 40 loads of wasli go through a tired top-loader and Mis. Houston Snfieis Braises Mrs. Eva Suber Houston, wife of Humes Houston, was hospi talized Friday night following a one-car accident on Highway 161, three miles .south of Kings Moun tain. Mr.s. Houston was admitted for treatment of head cuts and bruises and was discharged from Kings Mountain ho.spital Tues day. The Kings Mountain woman reportedly lost control of her car while entering a curve and over turned in the roadway. She was traveling north. The 1962 car Mrs. Houston was operating was a total loss, according to Investigating high way patrolmen who charged Mrs. Houston with exceeding a safe speed. then into the drier. In addition to her regular wash day chore the costumer washes two loads of towels and pioneer stockings every night during the show. The “Horn” wash has compli cations no house^vife would ever find in her wash. Red Indian grease paint causes the biggest problem. When sume of the In dians double as rod coated Brit- isli Militiamen, war paint invar iably taints the uniforms. Rainy night performances are also big headaches. Brili.sli sol diers shot on a muddy .stage bring in pants that look as if they could never again be white. Long pionoej- dresses sweep the outdoor stage and add to the costumer's dilemma. If her duties stopped at wash ing, tile Job would be simplifiitl. However, the wife of “Horn” Pafle 3 master carpenter. Hagan King, is the company nurse, counselor, and costume repairwoman. Known to the cast members as "Monty,” she quips. "Every night there are at least 11 missing but tons, thnx' broken garters and onc' torn zipper. Mrs. King will agree that the job isn't loo much fun, and there’s really nothing mentioned about “washing" in her eonirael. hut, ■•Somobodv just has to do it” The Alabaman says that the most rewarding part of her job is enjoying the creativity of mak- ii:g the costumes during the re hearsal before the show 0|)cns. But what about th King fam ily’s washing chores. It se(vrs Ithat husband Hagan i)erforms the weekly ritual at thi' local laundramat every Friday ni.tht. Cedar takes a high polish.
