Proverbs c.scj. Relieved Pressure A .soldier in Viet Nam addressed a letter to Time Magazine, published in the current issue, in which the soldier saiu .e Cambodian incurson was rigai- lie pointed out that the capture of large (pumtities ot arms and food had relieved the pressure considerably, with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong now apparently very short of the “heavy stuff”, 122-millimeter and mortar am munition. He also estimated the captured cache represented a nine-month supply of arms and food. Tlie President and Secretary of De fense William Rogers have reiterated the plan to pull United States troops out of Caml)0(lia by June 30, but a fight is on in the Senate over a proposed resolu tion tliat would have, it is charpd the same effect on the Caml)odian situation as did the Tonkin Gulf rosniution on the Viet Nam situation. In oiher words, the United States foi’ces could be ordered back by tlic President. The hue and cry over this war is as normal as rain and sunshine. Yet the whole war has defied the accustomed dictum; destroy the enemy. Destroy means military material, per haps more than people. A soldier with out arms and food is in poor shape. A Kings Mountain citizen, who serv ed in World War IT and the Korean war, remarked recently that the Cambodian invasion decision may have been the smartest move that has been made to date. He very well may be ri;|ht, as the soldier in Vietnam contends. Call io the Center Senator Margaret Chase Smith, of Maine, is one of the most respected, by her colleagues, obviously by the people of Maine who continue to return her to Washington. She recently made a speech in the Senate which makes much sense. Her speech was on campus violence. Summated she said; Trespass is trespass, whether on the campus or not. Violence is violence, whether on the campus or not. Arson is arson, whether on the campus or not. Killing is killing, whether on the campus or not. Mrs. Smith’s speech should be must reading. It is the word of a responsible citizen and of all responsible citizens. Tlie CoiistUution guarantees the right of peaceful assembly. It does not guarantee ti'.e ii.jorties taken by rioters. Wafer Report T’'e Buffalo Creek water project cont : to move nearer to the day BuI'k- (' valer will move through the new filter plant and traverse the seven miles into the city system. This week Buffalo was diverted and water is not flowing downstream through the big five-foot pipe and the former creek bed is being excavated. Raw water pumps were being installed this week. McGill Plont Report City Engineer W. K. Dickson re ports continuing tests at the McGill Creek sewage disposal plant continue to show improvement in the plant’s oper ation, following the “slug-out” that has burdened the plant area with foul odors. Any number of causes for the trou ble are available says Colonel Dickson, but establishing the one is not easy. He rates the plant now at two- thirds or better efficiency with each five- day test showing continuing improve ment. Getting the plant restored to nor mal operating efficiency takes time and there is no way to rush it, he says. Fund Drive The 25-member committee soliciting funds to equip the neighborhood facili ties building is enthusiastic. Items on the want list which add to §48,200 range from dolls (for day care) to bleacher seats. Meantime the Deal street complex finds another addition going into service Thursday afternoon in the 18-hole min iature golf facility. It will be a popular one. The building is a handsome one. Now some required equipment. School Honors Kings Mountain public schools must be doing a pretty good job of imparting knowledge into youthful minds. The records speak for themselves. The awards list was long, 25 high school seniors won scholarships to at tend college, and 55 of the graduating class of 242 rated as honor students. Kings Mountain schools have been honored, too, in another direction, hav ing chosen for a summer “learning camp”, North Carolina’s first, and a pilot model. A major emphasis will be on voca tional skills for the 130 seventh and eighth graders enrolled for the six-week program. Congratulations to the ten high school students tapped for membership in the Kings Mountain high school chap ter of the National Honor Society. Finch Switch Though a cabinet casualty, Robert Finch, recently - resigned secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, remains with the Administration by moving to the White House as an advisor. HEW is rated the most controversial department of the federal establishment, dealing as it does with such sensitive areas as public welfare, school desegre gation, and many others. In spite of their long personal friendship, Secretary Finch had trouble getting the ear of the President and, when he got it, the answer at bekt was a qualified yes, and more often it was no. Majority of the Finch public pro nouncements w'ound up undercut. It was a quite untenable position, and his life should be happier at the White House. Major hold-up at the moment is de livery of temporary raw water pumps, which are en route from the west coast. When they arrive and are installed, lines will be checked out and the Buffalo pro ject will be in business. ]ob Slowdown Sympathy of all goes to the family of Sp/4 Sammie R.

All kinds of thoughts fill heads at graduation time. For us high school completion deserv^ all the credit it can get. We sincere ly wonder whether we could cope with today’s liigli school curric ulum. So, gentlemen and ladles, jolly well done! The Nixon Administration, ma ny observe, is highly pablic rela tion conscious. The Joe McGin- niss book "The Selling of tli.t President,” perhaps unfairly, stressed the conscious "image” shaping that went on during the 1968 campaign. And the press generally have been fascinated with the ongoing Image strategies of the incumbent Nixon’s men. This week a delegation of con struction union leaders visited the White House. The unions’ men had been staging pro-admin istration rallies in New York. The visit reportedly was the brain child of the administration’s PR trust, a dozen men who meet ■Sund/y afternoons at the White House. This was intended to show the administration’s growing sup port among conservative blue- collar workers. Also this week, the White House broadened its Investigation of the Kent State student deaths, which involved whites, to include the Jackson State College shootings involving blacks. This should help meet charges the administration feels differently toward the tiwo races. And so it goes, at every level of public office. Public relations is practical politics — no more manipulative of public opinion than the citizens’ credulity lots It be.
