STATEMENT FROM CHARLES RALLARD Candidate For Ward 5 Commissioner Appalachian’s hurling staff owns a combined ETIA of 1.78 to head this department. Wofford is second at 1.92. i For many years I have had a true desire to offer my serviees for public office in Kings Moun tain. My decision to offer for Ward 5 Commissioner was not a hasty one. As time has passed, I have kept this in mind. In the working and learning phase of my life I have been preparing myself to be confident enough to do just this. For some citi zens it may not have taken 45 years. For me it did! I am motivated to seek this office in Ward 5 only by a desire to serve the people. I am running for the office, and not against my two opponents. I compliment the incumbent for her service and my other opponent for his willingness to seiwe. If I am elected, all issues and problems will be con sidered thoughtfully and openly. The potential for the future growth of Kings Mountain as a place to live and work appears to be unlimited. I respectfully and with enthusiasm solicit your support in the coming lection in order that I may take part in future dccision-tAaking in City govern- «nt . . „ ... Many of you will desire to question rnp on specific current issues. I welcome the opportunity to discuss any problem with you between now and the election. Should I be fortunate enough to be elected, I pledge to you my availability at all Although both ASU and Allert are undefeated in district activi ty. Wofford is the acdual leader with a 6-1 record which gives the Torriors a half-game edge over Appalachian’s 4-0 second - place figure. SAFETY AWARD TO DUPLEX E. W. MarsboU.
