Receive Training
In New Jersey
Piedmont Counc il Scoutmasters
recently completed the practical
part of the Wood Badge Course
for leadership in Boy Scout train
ing at Schiff Scout Reservation
in New Jersey.
The eight-day program was de
signed by Lord Baden Powell,
founder of the Boy Scout move
ment. The purpose is to train in
structors and those responsible
for the administration of leader
ship training locally, including
local Wood Badge courses.
There are three parts to Wood
Badge training: practical, corres

living Scouting 24 hours a day.
The correspondence part consists
of a series of questions and pro
jects that require written reports
from the candidate. The applica
tion part is the six - month mini
mum time elapse between the
practical experience and final
certification. During this period j
the Scouter must serve accept- j
ably in his present Scouting re
sponsibility and at the same
time give evidence of the use of
his Wood Badge training.
All three parts of Wood Badge
training must be completed with
in three years from the date he
begins and before final recogni
tion is given.

Sewage System
plant were approved Dy the
board of commissioners.
Mayor John H. Moss told the
board he had been informed by
the regional section of the fed
eral pollution agency of Char
lottesville, Va. the grant for ex
pansion of the sewage disposal
treatment system would be
forthcoming “in a few days."
Next steps would be 1) formal
resolution by the commission of
acceptance of .the grant and 2)
beginning of construction of the
$1,283,000 plant to be built west
of Kings Mountain 43,000 feet
adjacent to the city's three
streams.
Target date for beginning of
construction is 90 days from the
date the grant is received, said
the city’s consulting engineer.
Kings Mountain citizens on
March 15, 1966 approved issu
ing $1,300,000 in bonds for the
purpose, expected to cover full
cost of the program. The favor
able vote, 458-19, was a key fac
tor or point getter in whether
the city qualified for federal
government grant of up to $360,
000.
Plans call for doubling capac
ity of the McGill treatment plant
to 1,000,000 gallons capacity per
day, building of a new plant on
Pilot Creek, apex of Buffalo and
Muddy Fork, with capacity of
2,000,000 gallons per day, instal
lation of necessary pump sta
tions and laying of 7.92 miles of
sewer lines Including 27,388 feet
of 24 inch pipe. The project was
approved by the state stream
sanitation committee in Raleigh
July 1966.
“Correlating both water and
sewer service in developing the
Buffalo Lake area as a sanitary
district, we will be able to take
care of the conveniences the peo
ple need”, said Col. Dickson.

There are times when a
Pharmacist must decline to
fill requests for drugs and
medicines he has in stock.
Of course, this is to protect
you from the harmful effects
of certain pharmaceuticals.
When your doctor gives you a
prescription, it applies to a
specified condition at the time
of diagnosis. Time, and a
change in the state of your
health, may alter your need of
the drug or medicine, for this
reason, your doctor must
specify the number of times
your pharmacist may refill the
original prescription, if at ail.
So remember, your pharmacist
protects YOU when he carries
out your doctor's instructions
on "prescription only" drugs.
