Female IMountainocr.k may have opined on the countrywide liberation movement Init at least they declined to perform locally in the .strike movement led yesterday by Betty Friedan who urged women to march, demonstrate, boycott, sit-in, stop buying, slop their housework, drop the baby off at hubby’s office, etc. Or at least if they did, the Herald did not get wind of it. In faet, we’d be far more apt to go along \vMh the 42-ypar-old busine.ss exe- eotivc Mrs. .lean Oordes of .'st. Louis who asked hei s.'^x to foi'ego the strike en'led for yesterday by the National V'.omcn’s Strike Coalition in favor of a •‘1 . nicer to a man day’’. Oi we’d even enderse Mrs. Helen Andelin’s .suggoslion tint urges women to bo “charming, an gelic and kitten-like’ and serve their hus bands breakfast in bed. C.^lling herself a “liberated woman”, Mrs. Cordes admonishes that “you got more with sugar than vinegar’’. Head of the Aunt Mary Division of Lisle Ram.sey Portraits, Inc., and sunervisor of around 3.o0 women in some 100 cities, she fear ed some of the abrasive methods and bitterness evolving from the movement m.ay result in women becoming victims of a male backlash. She could very w^ell bo near to the truth. Some counter-demonstrations were planned yesterday also by women who say they’re liberated enough. The group, called MOM for Men Our Masters, dubb ed the dav “Preserve Feminity Day” and it looks like between the feminine ouar- reis that have grown over the move ment to date it may just take a long time for any real unanimity to develop. Overhearing a TV comment yester day bv Senator Sam Irvin that women must be read.v to accent charges against them of rape, responsibility for alimony payments and many O'ther charges gen erally thought of as in the male depart ment, we believe eyebrows will rni-se and many will retrieve their feminine skirts to preserve what others would have you believe are archaic rights. While we believe that women should be paid the same as men when they accomplish similar work, we also believe that some jobs are just not for women. One thing does seem for sure—the hands that rock the cradle should belong to mama. Some Good News state Highway Commissioner Roy Dedmon of Shelby confirmed yesterday that survey teams and siirve.v work is underway for a projected U.S. 74 Bypass of Kings Mountain and he anticipates the work will be complete soon. Mr. Dedmon said as soon as (ho route is staked out a public hearing will be held. The survey work has been underway about 10 days. The Commissioner also had some other good news: The State Highway Commission on Wednesday receiv'ed bids on the proposed Cansler Street project and the bids are to be reviewed by the commission at their meeting in Maggie Valley next week. A two-day mid-planning conference on the Cansler street urban renewal pro ject between federal, state and city of ficials, eaginoers and Kings Mountain citizens was eoncludod August 20th, last V.k dnesday, and according to .Tone Lan- e'", executive director of the Kings Mountain Redevelopment Commission, “it was a good one.” He had reported, “Wo were able to clear numerous tech nical points and agreed to .some changes in the initiid plan for renewal of the 147- acre project area. Welcome Home The Herald adds its Welcome Home to the Good News Singers of America, among them four young people from Kings Jlountain—Cindy Alexander, Lin da Ross, Jack Bell and Leon Ross, fol lowing their trip to the Soviet Union. Miss Alexander, daughter of Post master and Mrs. Charles Alexander, is giving impressions of her trip at Sun day night church services at 7:30 at First Baptist church of which she is a member. Conductor Van Ramsey said of the 137 member group: “Every one of them acted like a little diplomat while on tour.” “And getting back to Kings Moun tain was the best part of all ”, said Miss Ross.

Jacob Cooijer, Chairman Zoning Board of Adjuslmcnt 8:27 Viewpoints of Other Editors MISTAKEN IDENTIFICATION MISTAKEN IDENTfEICATfON ... A Townsman arriving a trifle late for last Monday’s Town 'Board meting got there just in tl.-ne to pick up on a speech that was going .... “...mess up lawns, chase cars and children, bark at all hours, roam in packs fighting e/,ch oth er, dig up plants, invade priv acy. .. It’s aggravating.” Then another citizen arose to suggest muzzling. “It’s been used for centuries. It’s veiy effective.” •’The suggestion for muzzling shook me,” the Townsman said later. ’’The thing that really jolt ed me, though, was when the Mayor himselt came flat-out for putting them on a leash.

Shoot, all a- ‘ long I thought they’d been talk ing about the University stu dents.” Chapel Kill Weekly NERVE GAS AND CONSCIENCE NERVE GAS AND CGNSCiFNCE. Public concern and con, .iciue have won in the matter ol llie 418 concrete vaults of nerve gas. Otic can say this even thougii tlie ef fort to prevent the gas’s .siiii.iti'! in the ocean failed. For it must be clear to anyone that the im v lic uproar and apprelien ,iun which surrounded the affair will bring about new aii;l radically different methods of disposal in the future. Furthermore, the nerve gas goes far beyond its own particu lar and limited circumstances. The outcry — not only from many humble individuals, not only from those interested in the en vironment, but even from such a staunch conservative as Gov. Claude Kirk of Florida — shows how far and how swiftly concern in matters of the environment and public safety have gone. The worry over the gas was but part and paieel of a far wider concern over many of today’s challenges to a secure, pleasant, orderly life. The problems ol smog, of water pollution, of noise and confusion, of drugs, or drink, of napalm of defoliants, of the sonic bexjm, and of a whole range of kindred issues is what made the deep concern over the Army’s plans for tlie nerve gas inevita ble. What we are witnessing today is a remarkable sharpening of mankind’s concern and conscience in matters touching upon life’s livability on earth. One can say this even though it must be rec ognized that there are broad and inexcusable gaps in this concern. Thus at the moment men are In creasingly aroused over what has happened to the physical quality of daily existence but seem to have shut their eyes to all kinds of attacks upon men’s moral and spiritual outlook. Yet we are cer tain that, in the end. an equal concern lor all of the essential cispects of men’s existence — moral as well as phvQ''^.-'i. r-- ual as we'l ■ as-'- .lue, the public outcry Over the nerve gas is an event which can hearten everyone who recognizes the stupendous chal lenge to make the earth a lovelier place which faces all men and women of conscience. Time was, and not so many years ago, when an event like this would have found public opinion either unin terested or resigned. The attitude then would have been: we have to put up with it; what can we do? Students of these times have pointed out that one of the out standing signs of the day is a growing unwillingness on every one’s part to be helpless pawns before history. There is a grow ing determination to control events. The nerve gas protests both underline and strengthen that determination. Christian Science Monitor First Citizens Taps Chisholm THE MOVING FINGER REWRITES Oue must suppose, .strictly speaking, that even the earliest translators oif the Bible werecom- pcllctl, by the transliteration from Hebrew and Greek into EngHsh, to rewrite certain passago.s. From time to time since then biblical scholars, both lay and clerical, have put their hands to improv ing the Good Book. Some years ago, for instance, a group of British ecclesiastics re wrote the King James version of the Bible and reduced that liter ary treasure to pedestrian prose to make it easier to promote the message along less accomplished readers. The intention was hon- oriible, but the result rasped the sensitivities ol the sacerdotal and literarj' traditionalists. Clianging “Mary, being great child” to read, ‘‘Mar>', who was pregnant,” was not, in the opin ion of traditionalists, an improve ment. The updated translation renders passages plain at the ex- penst! of graceful languiige. Rewriting the Bible goes on all the time, apparently with some commercial success. One of the most successful recent efforts is a seven-volume paraphrase of a Protestant Bible, the American Standard Version of 1901. Like many books the.se days, the para- .phra.se of the Bible was written with a tape recorded and tries to be as contemporary as tamorrow. Rewriters jazz up the Bible to make it more readable and, pre sumably more saleable. The para phrase in question, for example, lumps nine historlc.il books of the Old Tj-*tamcnt together as "Living History of Israel” and changes the titles of the sections to attract readers by injunction. The Book of Proverbs i.s renamed “Get Smart!”: Rr>mans becomes “Come Alive!”; Acts is "Speak Out!” and the Go.spel ctf John i.s “Tunc In!” , It all sounds very hip. Next we expect to learn that Song of Songs has become the Hit Parade and that Matthew, Mark and Luke have been given bylines. Boston Herald Traveler Robert M. Chisholm, regional installment loan supervisor for First-Citiens Bank & Trust Com pany, has been elected vice presi dent by the bank’s board of di rectors, R. P. Holding, Jr., chair man, announced.
