Page 6 THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. MORE ABOUT Crack Down White also pointed to the need for an information program for the general public on zoning re quirements. He indicated that often zoning problems are not the result of deliberate violations but of ignorance of the zoning re quirements. Comm. W. S. Biddix, chairman of the Codes Policy and Knforce- ment committee, made the group’s recommendation, all of which were approved by the board. He .<«iid the group felt the need of legal service? for the dcixirt- ment and contacted the City At torney Jack Wiiite for iiis service. He also sugge.sted an information program for better understanding of the city’s codivs and ordinances and that m.ips of water, .sew('r and gas tines should he updati'd. Ho invited citizens who tire in doubt about legal reriuiremenl.< of building, repairing, moving or de molishing buildings to contact the building in-speitor at Hie codes department .it City Hall.

WASHINGTONREPORT AT OTEEN Robert Ruff remains a patient at Oteon Veteran’s ho.spital and friends m;iy write him in core of Ward .30.3, Third Floor, VA llo-pit;il. Otecn, N. C. 28805. Mr. Ruff is being treated for a rc's- piratory ailment. The crescendo of issues rose on Capitol Jlill over the past week. The Congress was faced with making decisions on health, the economy, welfare, the con duct of the war, the continua tion of our defense effort, to j name just a few. On the Senate side of the Capi- I to!, the eo-called MdGovern-'Hat- ! field amen.lment to end the war jdrew national attention. By a I small margin, the Senate voted I against adopting this approach. At the same time, the House of \ Repre.seiitatives had under dls- Ifussion the annual multi-billion ! dollar defen.se procurement leg islation which authorizes the pur- clia.se of military eiiuipment to be used by the defense estab lishment. During this debate, a version of the MeGovern-IIatfield ^amendment was offeiel setting by legislation a dale to withdraw all American troops from South east Asia. Frankly, I think that selling a date in this particular legisla tion would have little, if any, ef fect in actually stopping the fighting, inasmuch as such an pers'onaTs" .Mrs. Traicy Stewart, of 304 E. Parker .spent the week of June 11 until June 17, with her broth er, .Mr. James Palmer and his family, in Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. Doytt Falls have been entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Loy Costner and their daugliiter of Mound City, Missouri. In honor of their visit, an dalso to cele brate -Mrs. Jaimes Champion’s birthday, a dinner was given Sunday. Attending were; Mr. and .Mrs. Archie Costner and their children from Spartanburg, Mr. and .Mrs. James Champion of Wa co, Mr. and .Mrs. Elvfn Greene of Kings Mountain, and Mr.s. Michael Robinson of Boone. I.Mr. an<l Mrs. Nolan Seism and son, Tracy, have returned from a vacation to St. Louis, Mo. where they visited Forest Park, the St. Louis Zoo, and toured the iRob- ert E. Lee riveiboat, among other scenic attractions. I amendment would only have been a limitation on the pro- icurement of military hardware ; after a certain date. The amend ment, by admission of its spon- ! sors, would not require that I li-oops be withdrawn from South j Vietnam after December 31 of this year, or deny them use of equipment and weapons system that are already in South Viet nam. I did not suport this amend ment and It was defeated toy a wide margin. , 1 have had a great deal of . mail both favorable and opposing ' legislation to “set a date to end the war in Vietnam.” There are numerous bills and legislative proposals which have ibeen in- ; tro.,uced calling for the with drawal of United States forces 'from Southeast Asia iby Decem ber 31, 1971, or some other date. -The people of the nation are Hooking to the Congress as well I as to the President for dear ! guidance and leadership to ex- ; tricate our armed forces from this war-torn country. It is easy to criticize the President. It is easy to second-guess him as he j is attempting to end the righting and to reduce the actual num- ! hers of United States troops in- i volvej in South Vietnam. I I feel that the South Vietna mese have made progress in their ability to handle their own af- I fairs and to assume the major ' burden of expelling the enemy from their country. I also feel that President Nixon has set us , ■an a definite course of withdraw: il of our forces and that be j should be given d.;e credit for having taken the initiative to re duce our troop levels and turn ing the fighting over to the South Vietnamese troops. Re- gar.lless of any action the Con- gre.ss may take, the President, on his own initiative, had cut troop levels in half, and by this fall less than a third of the number of troops in Vietnam when be took office will remain. No one is for the war. Every- wants to get out as quickly as pos’ sible, but setting a Congressional tim limit may ot be the way to permanent peace in Vietnam. I sympathize wholeheartedly with the goal of endinig our involve- Grafton Wifhers Is Enrolled lAtGov.School I Winston-Salem — The nintlh j session of the Governor’s School 1 of North Carolina began Sunday, I June 20, with the arrival of 374 I rising juniors and seniors from ^ North Carolina high siehools. The School is again being held on the [ campus ot Salem College. James Grafton Withers is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred With- ere of Kings Mountain. He is a ment there as soon 'as possible, and I have communicated this feeling to the President. I be lieve that Congress does have a right and also responsibility to give the president as well as the nation some clr r direction on what our fundamental policy sho.I'.i be. 'But the setting of a date certain ignores the plight of our prisoners of war and the fact that 'fighting still -continues. If the Congress is to legislate in this field, I would far rather see us face up to our responsi bility and support a resolution which would insure the return of cur prisoners and call for a ceasefire and withdrawal of all foreign troops rom South Viet nam. During the datebate last week, I s.pported an amendment that woulct have called for rc ci- rrocal action on the part cf the North Vietnam to bring an eni to al of the fighting. This amend ment called for a date of with drawal cf all America forces pro vided that all prisoners of war were released and returned end that a cease-fire was effected. Such a declaration by Congress woul'l be a clear indication to ‘Hanoi that the North Vietnamese must take some initiative to end the fighting. Unfortunately, unilateral action on the part of the United States is not the whole answer. As dis cussion of this issue continues, I believe that responsible Congres sional leadership dan be provid ed. In the final analysis, any lastin-r peace in South Vietnam will depend on the action of all parties involved, not just the United States THE ALL-AMERICAN ROBIN Is there anyone in this icoun- try who has never heard a rob in’s song? probaibly not. even If it wasn't recognized, for all our soiigibirds the robin is the most widespread. Al'l summer the rob ins are busy in dooryard, 'pas ture anu woodland of the north ern and middle states from coast to coast. All winter they are seen throughout the South.

W'hile at the Governor’s School, he is concentrating his studies in Natural Science. The Department of Public In struction, under the director of Dr. A. Craig Phillips, sponsors the experimental school for academic ally and artistically talented boys j and girls. Simultaneously, the ! .state-sponsored Teacher-Training Institute is being held, with 27 teachers from throughout the state in attendance. Under the direction of Robert Knott, these teachers will .work with the Gov ernor’s School faculty and student body as and in-service training program in the teaching of the gifted. At the 1971 Governor’s School will be 147 boys and girls study ing the performing arts: art, dra ma, instrumental music, chorus, and piano; 227 will concentrate in the academic disciplines: Eng lish, French, mathematics, natur al science, and social science. The special goal of the Gov ernor’s School is to enable the student to see the relationship be tween the artistic and academic disciplines. Theory, especially 20th century theory, is stressed as thfe students are .solutions to today’s problems. James L. Bray, Resident Director, and Dr. H.

Indeed, the robin can be a good mimic, too, though it has an excellent repertoire of songs all Jls own. RWbln songs are the basic melo dies of the dawn chorus of bird song in many plaices. Though, not really domestic birds, robins like dooryards as nesting places and lawns for for- agiug. They are the most com mon birds of the American suib- uPbs all spring, summer and early autumn. Thorou.'hly adapt able, they also will thrive in a city park, will nest on a cornice ledge If need be, and will live on either fruit or insects. 'But the country is the robin’s natural habitat.
