Hehrenm lO.'.ttf. Hearty Best Bows It would appear the Senate’s liberal wing is bidding fair for the appendage “knee-jerk", certainly a.s far as it con cerns the South’s nominees for the Su preme Court. Judge Clement Haynesworth, of Greenville, was scuttled, after much to- do, on a 55 to 45 vote. Now President Richard M. Nixon comes up with another Southerner, Judge Harold T. Carswell, native of George, now of Tallahassee, Fla. At first it appeared Judge Carswell was home free. He isn’t rich, doesn't mess with stocks and bonds, has an out going personality foreign to Judge Haynesworth. Well, maybe not, says the Senate’s liberal wing, led by Teddy Kennedy, under cloudy skies himself, Birch Bayh, recipient of heavy campaign contribu tions from .self-oriented labor, and oth ers about which much could be said. They dug out a 22-year-old cam paign speech by Carswell in which he reputedly made "racist” statements. Now he is accused of being a stockholder in a private corporation which took over a municipal golf course to prevent it from being de-segregated. To charge one. Judge Carswell de clares the statement “abhorrent.” 'fo charge two, Judge Carswell says, not so. But the Negro groups have been joined by Big Labor in opposition. While the President can be accused to playing a bit of politics in both nomi nations, South Carolina and Florida hav ing both defected to Republican ranks, the nominees should be considered on basis of their judicial performances, not their idealogies. The full court membership should be on the bench and the Senate should get along to other business on which they are considerably behind. Hofd On South Congratulations of high order are in order to: Gerald Thomasson, chosen by a com mittee of his elders (over 35 and not eligible for Jaycee membership) for the 1969 Distinguished Service or Young Man of the Year award; Larry Allen, Young Educator of the year; and Ben T. Goforth, Boss of the Year. Mr. Thomasson has been active in numbers of activities of community- oriented variety, not only in 1969, but in prior years, among them as Jaycee president, as chairman of the annual beauty pageant, in two most recent Bat tle of Kings Mountain celebrations, and others. He is currently chairs of the Jaycee pro-fluoridation movement. Mr. Allen doubles in brass as a teacher both at Kings Mountain high school and at Cleveland Technical insti tute and gets high marks for his work in vocationa' education. Mr. Goforth could be the boss-of- any year. Hard-working and mild-man nered, he follows the same policy with his employees as with his customers. As a plumber and therefore in service busi ness, Mr. Goforth is like the doctor, the auto mechanic and others in the service trades who find just about every call is “rush” at the least and “emergency” most times. The Herald joins the community in sincere congratulations to these three gentlemen who have been properly hon ored for services rendered and jobs well done. Upcoming Clinics Russian Tour Four Kings Moupntain high school musicians have been chosen for mem bership in a group of 150 North Carolina youth who will sing their way into parts of Russia during the coming summer. The honor is high, the opportunity great. The fact that the Soviet Union and the United States do not “gee” and "ha” as well as they might in pulling the in ternational wagon is all the more reason for |uch tours. People, are people, if governmental leaders sometimes forget it. These young people have an op portunity to see at first hand how other folk live, to observe their customs, and to learn more about their history and culture. It will be a never to be forgotten summer for Cynthia Alexander, Jack Bell, Leon Ross and Linda Ross. Better Parks Aheod The Parks-in-Cities grant reserva tion of .^28,215 for improvements to the three city parks, a 50-50 share program with cities of the nation, assures much improved summertime leisure areas for Kings Mountain citizens — elder, young and in-between. ^ • VlBH Davidson Park will be improved as will the Deal Street Park, iinost uped by citizens. McGinnis Street park, which Mayor John Henry Moss wants to re-name has never been much more than a picnic area, and, in recent years not much of 1 hat. This particular area has great po tential, with natural springs, well-wood ed and in the back door of the Barnette Drive low rent housing project of 40 units, largest number on any of the nine sites being utilized for the 150-unit pro ject. The Parks-in-Cities program is an other of the many federal grant or aid programs designed to arrive at desired aims by helping those communities which show evidence of wanting to help themselves. Kings Mountain, obviously, does. Politics In Season There war no news in President Nix on’s message to the nation vetoing the HEW appropriating bil of $19.7 billion which was $1,266 billion more than the President wanted. The upcoming veto had been well-advertised. After the veto, the word was out Tuesday that Mr. Nixon would compro mise—by signing the same appropriation bill, if mandatory expenditures in ob jectionable sections were deleted. That wouldn’t be much of a compro mise. There is political heft in both points of viefi'. The promoters of the extra ap propriation could point with pride if it passes, condemn the administration if it doesn’t. On the Nixon side, where balanced budgets (and. apparently, tight money) are much desired goals, there is political appeal, too. There’ll bo much of the same through next November’s general elec tions. Cleveland County Lions clubs are collaborating with the County Health Department and North Carolina Associa tion for the Blind to promote a mass glaucoma-diabetes clinic of six months duration. Principal point is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, a cogent in both the eye disease glaucoma, and in diabetes. Both can be lived with, if discovered in time, and the earlier dis covered means the easier living with. Who’ll make it a thousand? Better still, who’ll draw Number 1000 city auto tag. With 948 sold, somebody should buy that good round number sometime Thursday. They're on sale at the Armory in the tax listing room and, after Mon day, will be available at Harris Funeral Home. Last day to list 1970 taxes without penalty is Monday. Congratulations to Dennis Beatty, just elected president-elect of the Cleve land County Pharmaceutical Associa tion.
