Chartered in 1946 with Bill Fulton as first president, the Jaycees had an imposing numlter of past presidents at its Tuesday night Itanquet. The Jaycees, as they traditionally were in other communities and cities across tlie nation, have bi'en an active force lor good in Kings Mountain. Many htive been the projects they have promoted, all with one purpose in view, the good of Kings Mountain. The Jaycees arc liard workers. List of their projects during 1967 arc detailed on a fuil-page advertisement in this issue saluting them during Jayceo Week. Two years ago the Jaycees revived the Miss Kings Mountain Beauty Pageant and again last year presented a $200 scholar ship to the winner. A major project the past several years has been Operation Toys for Tots, a Christmas cheer project for the needy. The Jaycees repaired used toys which were distributed via the Min isterial Association's Empty Stocking Project. There were other projects. Next week, January 21-28, is Jaycee Week and the organization and its mem bers deserve the plaudites of the com munity. King Winter There is an old country belief that unless there’s a wind you don’t feel the cold much more at 20 below’ zero than you do at zero. But with a wind the sit uation changes sharply. Mon ol the Yeof The Herald, of course, was not on the committee of five persons who des ignated Richard (Dick) Maxey Young Man of the Year for 1967. V While the Herald does not know the identity of the other nominees (even to be nominated is quite an honor) it would not have been hard to guess the identity of the winner. Mr. Maxey, .32. has compiled an en viable record of achievement in civic en deavors here and other communities he has lived. He joined First-Citizens in 19.57 in the bank’s Fayetteville office. In 1962 he w'as transferred to the Hickory office as a loan officer and supervisor in opera tions and personnel administration. In November 1965 he was named to head the Kings Mountain office which opened two months later. He was elected a vice- president in January 1966. Mr. Maxey was praised in the pres entation speech as a “young man of ac tion.’’ Our congratulations to him for his deserved honor. It’s now time to get your taxes listed and to buy city and state auto tags. The Herald adds its welcome to that of the community to Banker Lee McIn tyre, who has assumed management of the Kings Mountain branch of First-Citi zens, and adds its well-wishes to Dick Maxey, recently promoted to the Ashe ville branch bank in an executive posi tion. The Maxey family moved to Ashe ville this week. Tax listing time is waning. SO THIS IS NEW VORK By NORTH CALLAHAN!

By ELIZABETH STEWART King Winter show'ered Kings Moun tain and the Carolinas with his iciest blasts of the current winter last week. Snow and sleet which turned into i6e early last Thursday has forced sus pension of schools since Thursday about 1:30. Kings Mountain and Cleveland County school officials were watching the weather and roads at mid-afternoon Wednesday before making a decision on reopening schools Thur.sday (today). It was still doubtful if schools would open Tnursday or Friday because of rural road conditions. (About Mi of the school population live in rural areas). Service stations wei’e kept busy checking anti-freeze and defrosting clog ged w’indshields. City crews were still cleaning streets and sidewalks yester day as the city’s snow removal machin ery was put into action. City Electrical Supt. Hunter Allen reported only one call reporting power failure which was cleared up in minutes. An icy branch had fallen on electrical wire at one residence. Because of the icing, work on the new’ outfall line to the McGill Treatment Plant in East Kings Mountain was hampered. Weather permitting, the city will resume work on this project “as soon as pos sible” said the superintendent of public works. Gray skies still hovered yesterijay, and .some weather predictors w’ere still saying there was some chance for more snowballs. Even in biting temperatures, young sters W’ent sleighriding last weekend, some went skating on pasture ponds and some of us who couldn’t take it very long stayed by the fireside.
