Yea for Yoghurt
Carl Propst, master of ceremonies
at the Cleveland County Dairy A.ssocia-
tion’s June Dairy Month kick-off break
fast, in his benedicting remarks, told
the ladio.s they would be met on exit
by pretty dairy maids with a special
gift: a carton of yoghurt, in any num
ber of fine fruit flavors such as peach,
pineapple, strawberry, blueberry.
The very word “yoghurt" called to
mind the dietary advice of the late Dr.
Jarvis in his “Vermont Folklore Medi
cine”, who was heavy, yea, very heavy,
as a promoter of yoghurt as a regular
in any daily diet. Dr. Jarvis had some
other favorites such as a before break
fast vinegar cocktail (shot of vinegar,
diluted with water), honey, and a hon
ey-vinegar mixture. Dr. Jarvis al.so as
cribed to the dictum; “Eat breakfast
like a king, lunch like a prince, and
supper like a pauper.”
But the subject is yoghurt.
Webster’s Dictionary merely de
scribes yoghurt as a fermented milk
product, as is buttermilk, and a very
popular food item in the Levant. En
cyclopedia Britannica is more detailed.
Yoghurt is prepared, it says, by inocu
lating milk previously boiled and cool
ed to body temperature either with lab
oratory culture of yoghurt bacteria or
with yoghurt from a previous batch. It
is then incubated for three or four hours
at 110 to 112 degrees F., or at room tem
perature overnight. It is stored then
in the refrigerator until propelled down
the red lane of the eater. The product is
a jelly-like substance, rich in Vitamin
B complex.
The Britannica writer says yoghurt
has no proof of curing any disease of
“preventing intestinal intoxication"
(whatever that means).
Not so, says Carl Propst.
Yoghurt, he says, is a Number 1
enemy of the disease called “fat", with
the duai benefit of hivh food value and
vitamins, minus CALORIES.
Weight-conscious customers have
increased consumntion of yoghurt in
this countrv bv 500 percent and demand
is still growing, he declares.
The name doesn’t .sound ton anne-
tiz'’'7. the product doesn’t look to^aj
petiZing, but yoghurt is GOOD^
That’s the„
the Heraii]
sample:
Hard Place and Rock
When a person finds himself be
tween a hard place and a rock, and both
closing in upon him, he has no choice
but to choose the lesser of two evils.
Thus the county commission so
found itself. The closing in was the esca
lating cost of county governmental serv
ices. The hard place and/or rock, de
pending on point of view, was escala
tion of the ad valorem property tax in
large amount or levying of the addition
al sales tax, as made permis.sible by the
1971 General Assembly.
Three commissioners. Chairman B.
E. (Pop) Simmons, J. Dock Turner and
Robert Hubbard, thought the sales tax
the easiest way out, while two, Fritz
Morchead and Phil Rucker, did not a-
gree.
All five, of course, agree that any
ta.xe.s—added or new—are odious.
Certainly the three-member major
ity must be credited with political cour
age by enacting the tax without a vote
of the people, which is an alternative.
Time was a factor, as far as a vote was
concerned, for an election could not be
held until the new fiscal year is well
underway, and with no surety the vot
ers would rise to the occasion and record
a “yes" vote.
The new tax will be effective July 1.
With county revenues limited to all
hut an infinitesimal amount to alor-
em tax revenues, the upwarc sure
in this area gets worse with new
fiscal year budget.
And the county commission must
bo commended for a certain degree of
chan'tability. It could have divided the
spoils with incorporated towns and
cities from the sales tax on either of
two bases; 1) ad valorem tax value or
2) population. The commission chose
the latter, which cut the county take
and upped the take of Shelby, Kings
Mountain, Boiling Springs, Lawndale,
Grover and Waco. Indeed, had the ad
valorem formula been chosen. Mayor
Hill Carpenter’s Town of Waco would
not have received one red cent.

Jam Corporation is no less deserving of
fjmmendation to him.
MABTIN'S

By MARTIN HARMON
I was recently somewlrat sur
prised, when .scannii^ the rtty
building permits, to see 1i)iat
Kings Mountain RedeveJopm^
Commissian had puKhosed tHu^.
Further pernsal res’ealad thtut tlh«
permits allowed razing ot three
building.s.
I addrps<*d City Caerk Joe Mc
Daniel. “Joe," I .said, "I knew pop-
mits ware required for new oon-
structlon, inoluding Editions, ai)d
for major alterations, but I didi)3
know a permit is required for g
denralilion.”
Joe laughed. "Oh, yeah,” (it
replied,” we gdt you every way."
«n-«l
fluilding permits, nt course, are
not Lssued as a matter of "get-
I ting”. It is the city's method vt
keeping tab on cotistruotion
de-construction, With opnourrent
assurance that the budding |fl- j
spector requires oompllance vvtth I
the city building cvjdes. In turn, I
the owner benefits from preveh-1
tion of faulty planning and/or!
workmanship. Come to thiti)« a-
bout It, tlie demolition buslne9.s
may be most imporfant. It would
not be very .safe for a bail-and
ehain wall-banging 'crew to be
operating with auto and pedes
trian traffic risking a hall of de
bris.
Of the redevelopment exunmis
Sion’s three demolitions to date, I
the Williford Building on West
Mountain, most recenUy occupied
by offices of the late Or. J. E
Anthony, was by far the rmw)
venerable. Mrs. Irma WilUfonl
Thomson recalls that the brick
structure was built around 18W,
replacing an 1880 frame building
WhlicJi had burned. The itiittkl
A"uctulre was part of an L-shap
ed buUding (will^ wihat is now
Belk men's department) ocoqpied
by Kiser-Mauney. The Mourrtain
street base of the “L" was the
grocery department, while the
Battleground avenue top of the
“L” was the dry goods depart
ment. Since the building has
been razed, the brick-up of the
connecting doors is quite evident
As a little fellow, I rememhar
in this building Sam Saber’s Can
dy Kitchen, and the WUUtord
Restaurant, later Paul Long’s
ResUuranL Upstair^ J. R. Daivds's
law oflflce was thei< for mAny
years and Dr. Paul Hendrteks
first medical office was there,
too. Last tenant in the tanner
Davis quarters was the Wei|teT;i
Carolinas League. About 1045
the late Firank Summerat psesi
dent of First National Bank, fare-
saw eventual ne^ for more space
The bank purcfl&ed the then-
Anthony building from the doc
tor with provison he retain use
of Ids offices, rent-free, as long
as he wished. I am told, but have
not confirmed with George Lu
blaneskl, that when he purchased
the bank buildii>g from Piisl
Union National, he did not real
ize the purchase also included
the venerable WiiUiforl building
portion. A mini-gwk U plajinw
on the vacant lot.
Records in the office of the
register of deeds show that the
Virgie Harmon lot was deeded to
her father and mother, .Mary and
Lee Hanmon, on September 17,
1907, by Charles Dilllng, Sr.,
eating that the now-razed rqi^-
dence was etfectod shortly the«-
after. There were thjye Hamton
brothers, the others being Borne
and WiU. Will was a pajjvter.
Rome, the bc.st I cifn determine,
was a mason, and Lee a carpen
ter. If I’m wrong, it'was vice-ver
sa.
Haywood Lynch built the fawn
er Herald building in 1908. K
was the first time in Its long
history the Herald had a home of
its own. Hayuxjod had purchased
the lot from D. C. Mauney. 1
bought the building from Hay
wood in 1945 and spent slightly
mare than 11 years fliere, mean
time installing a heating pl-arvt.
It wasn’t so much a problem of
heat, but of space. The potbelli
ed stove had to be ivnioved In
orcUv to accommodate a new ma
chine.

Now one of the safest investments
in the world brings you new and
higher returns.
Now your U.S. Savings Bonds
pay the highest interest in history;
a full 5 per cent when held to
maturity of 5 years and 10 months.
(4%. the first year; 5.20% thereafter
to maturity.) Previously, diese Bonds
earned you only 4^% if you held
them for seven years.
The new interest began Jime I,
1969. So all of the Bonds you own,
BO matter when you bought them,
have been collecting higher interest
since that time.
Those Bonds are still replaced if
lost, stolen or burned.
You can still buy them through
Payroll Savings or the Bond-a-Month
plan.
Regardless of your other invest*
ments, can you think of any easier,
better, or safer way to build a nest

It’s nice to know tliat you are
doing a little something for Uncle

go a long way toward keeping your
