TOe pro tection of our national integrity has not been cheap. “It has been said,” Mr. White ner continued, “that the war in Vietnam is not a popular war. I might add that no war has been popular with the American people, and I hope that wars will not become popular with our people. By tradition and by heritage, we have only fought when we have felt that our lib erty and our national institu tions were' threatened. We jeqi Xbs Xjpnojd ubo suBouauiy we have not fought to gain ter ritory or to subjugate nations.” The service, held at Memorial park of Mountain Rest ceme tery,'' was sponsored by the American Legion, the Legion j Au.xiliary, the VFW, and the Ministerial association with the aid of the City of Kings Moun tain.

KMHS Plumbing Contract Complete The board of education has accepted as completed the plumbing contract for the new' Kings Mountain high school plant.

The cuttings should be made when the new growth is ready to bloom. When the flower opens, cut the stems so that you will have at teast two stem buds (nodes); and a least one leaf on each stem cutting. Remove the flowbr iby cutting back to a stem bud. Place the basal end of the cut ting in clean coarse sand. Jf you have a sand and gravel supplier near you, ask him for concrtete sand not plasters, as it is too fine for best results. If you are collecting your own sand, it should be coarse, as suggested, and sterilized before using. Sterilization may be accom plished by placing thfe sand in a suitable container (not over three inches of sand) and heat to 200 degreles F for not less than 30 minutes. Locate your box of cuttings where you can provide protection ftx>m direct sunlight and fcehp the sand imoist, not too wet, at all times. A plastic cover on a frame covering the cutting box will give good protection -from wind and help maintain the moisture supply. The cuttings shouid root in four or five weeks. As soon as each cutting has developed sev eral roots, from one-half to one inch in length, they are ready for potting. Use a suitable container, about two and one-half inches in diam eter. Peat pots are good and may be purchased at your garden center. For your rooting medium, use equal parts, (by volume) of coarse sand, peat moss and good garden soil, sterilized.
