Hats off to Kings Mountain’s Foote Mineral Operation on its 191h annivers- ;ir\- here and to the 94th birthday of the ')"’''nt organization founded back in I 70 by the late Dr. A. E.

The new industry was founded here in Nov ember W.H. Teenicide The coined word “teenicide”—used to describe a certain type of reckless automobile driving—now comes official ly into the language. Funk and Wag- nail’s dictionary defines it: “Killing caused by recklessness, bra vado and immature judgment of teen age automobile drivers.” Evidence of the growth of “teeni- etde’’ is to be found in the added insur ance which automobile owners must pay when the car is driven by a person under 25 years of age—even though that per son is by no means the only or principal driver of the car. The evidence can also be found in the columns of the news paper — w'here the accounts of automo bile accidents pile up the lists of dead and injured. There is probably no one answer to the problem and perhaps no combina tion of answers that fits every case. But one of the best of the possible solutions is the driver education courses A Worthy Cause Education Week MARTIN'S MEDICINE The typographical error in last week’.s Herald concerning Ml'S Mike Ledfoid, who was quoted as the “First Baptist Church oemetory” seriously in- jurcU in a car-bus accident, brini^js to mind some other real boo-boos clipped from news col umns in the past m-m Meantime, we hope- Mrs. Led lord, who is an efficient secrc- Draw your chock to the Cystic Fi brosis Drive sponsored by the Kings Mountain Junior Woman’s club. An inborn disease, cystic fibrosis is the leading cause of chronic lung dis ease in American babie;;, children and young adults. It is a major rea.son for death in young children. Currently more than IGO children attend the Care and Researeh Center, Duke Hospital, Dur ham, under the directorship of Dr. Alex ander Spock, nationally known research er and pediatrician. The Cystic Fi brosis Foundation currently has the defective gene or C/F marry and Organized in 1955, the National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation loads the fight against this dread dis ease. Thanks to Foundation efforts, which liave brought about IxXtei' meth ods of diagnosis and ime: oed treat ment, more and more C/t ' - ildren are maturing into their teen: ,.nd some times early twenties. Bui life is still cruelly short for these unfortunate youngsters. 'The attack on the problem is es- sontially two-pronged. On one hand, the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is carr.'ing the assault forward in 40 Re gional Cystic Fibrosis Care, Researcti and Teaching Centers throughout the nation. These Centers have been e.stab- li.shed with Foundation assistance in leaching ho.spitals of leading medical schools. It is estimated that in the United States 4 - 5,000 babies are born 'with C/F each year. When two carriers of the defective genef or C/F many and have children, each child at the fime of conception has one chance in four of inheriting the disorder. There are two chances in four of the child not having the disease but being a carrier of it, and one in four that he will neither have C/F nor be genetically capable of trans mitting it. Approximately one in every 20 persons is believed to be a carrier. The number of persons with the disease in this country is e.stimated at approxi mately 30,000, and as lives of patients are prolonged by earlier diagnosis and improved therapy, the total in the pop ulation is rising. During the past week, schools, teachers and their communities have been oh.serving National Education Week, and particular note of it has been taken in Kings Mountain. For tire past half-century or more, North Carolina has been on the up grade in its public schools system which aims to give all persons a minimum of education. The late Governor Charles B. Aycock was the man who moved the mountains in expanding the public school system of the state and since that time rapid strides have been made. They have been made in spite of many difficulties, usually hinging a- round the cost of more money. Good schools cost money and a lot of it, both from the standpoint of physical plants and from the standpoint of .staffing. Yet, with all the difficulties, the business of education has been con stantly improving. The vast majority of this city’s school teachers are conscientious and hardworking. They have the best inter ests of their pupils constantly at the forefront, and this newspaper believes that, on the occasion of National Edu cation Week, they deserve a salute for doing a very good job. Hats off to the 13-man Kings Moun tain Reserve Police Force honored last week on Birthday No. 1 at an apprecia tion dinner. The community is and should be appreciative of the fine work done by this group of volunteers who take the time from their work and fam ilies to provide a strictly volunteer serv ice to the community. which arc taught in the s ’-cols.

All these is-sues are not only legitimate, they are of burning importance to the Aimerican peo ple today. It is right that violence, inflation, bombing, joblessness be debated the len^h and breadth of the country, that candidates be forced to take a clear and thoughtful stand on each, and that the campaign thus contri bute to better public understand ing of all that is at stake. . .. . But, frankly, we find ourselves Cardinal CARDINAL CUSHING An outstanding characteristic of Richard Cardinal Cushing ol Boston, who passed on November 2, was his warm outreach to peo- pde in all walks of life. .Although elevated to a seat of immense unable to give either party or very, many spokesmen for either side! and human a.spects high marks in public service | eardlnalship. For this rea- where this year’s electioneering is I fP ^ concerned. If we read the slgn.s j T I adapted to the pres- - - ent difficult period in ecclesias- aright the public is more confus ed than ever. And tliis fact, we believe,, lies b^ind the wide spread-apathy which political re porters discern almost every where. This is particularly unfortunate in view of the high degree of ten sion which prevails within Amer ican society, and of the rapidly growing need to understand and grapple with immense and com plicated problems. How much better both parties would have ■served their country had they stuck to the plain truth, which is that both sides and most'candi dates are patriotic and sincerely dedicated to doing what they be lieve best for American. This would have raised, not lowered, the tone of debate. Christian Science Monitor HOSPITAL LOG Mrs. Bessie M. Abernatliy Wm. Banks Bfirber ■ Mrs. John F. Boheler S. A. Buchanan Mrs. J. R.

CREEPING CHAOS Remember the gooiJ old days when glib economists and money managers spoke of a “little in flation” as a good thing? Not so tical history when so many rigid and dogmatic attitudes are un der increasing attack. Although a staunch builder of his faith, Cardinal Cushing had few equals among his church’s highest-ra'nking clerics in his leaning towards ecumenism or in his kindly attitude towards other religious beliefs. Above all in his later years. Cardinal Cushing’s voice was increasingly raised on behalf of tolerance, brotherhood and nonparisan justice. Through such activities he not j only encouraged the memibers of i his own flock to break down some of the many barriers which | have existed between those of differing religious outlotk but he helped create that spirit of great er cooperation among all men so desperately needed in these times of crisds and challenge. Cardinal Cushing eminently de served the outpouring of praise and kindly remomorance now be ing accorded him.
