Cansler Project Tenor
Public hearing Tuesday night on the
Cansler area urban renewal project was
interesting in several respects, it elicited
a large crowd of interested and to-bo-
affected citizens, there was plenty of
dialogue as these citizens asked ques
tions, got some answers and were prom
ised those which required digging in the
rules and regulations.
But the tenor of the mooting was
friendly and those present ind.caccd
they favor tins project to remove sub
standard housing and replace it with
modern houses itli modern convenienc
es.
Chairman Carl F. Mauney, of the
Redevelopment Commission, welcomed
the citizens and outlined the basic pur
pose of 11,0 meeting; to outline the pro
gram and to answer questions. This was
done.
Next step in the area redevelopment
plan, designed by Rust Engineering Com
pany, Birmingham, Ala., and tentatively
approved by the Department of Housing
and Lrban Deevlopment, is approval by
the Kings Mountain Planning Board. As
suming Planning Board approval, the
plan moves to the city ccminissicn,
which will conduct its own public'hear
ing then, presumably, approve the plan.
Next its back to Atlanta and HUD and
final ratification.
The Redevelopment Commission
thinks and expects tJiose steps lo le-
quire alxyut two jnonths, with actual
launchin.g of the project expected in late
January or early February 1972.
It is a needed redevelopment.
While home-building is setting a
record pace this year, housing continues
to remain scarce due to influx of new
citizens and fact that many old and
hardly habitable residences have been
razed.
Many in the Cansler street area, as
Commission Director Joe Lancy pointed
out, arc virtual fire tj-aps.
Politics, No More?
The General Assembly has re-struc-
ti’red the state’s administrative system
lor its 16 institutions of higher learning,
vesting authority in a 32-person board
of trustees.
The 100-member board of trustees
of the Consolidated University will be
eliminated and somewhere lost in the
shuffle is the state Board of Higher Edu
cation, never on par powerwise with the
Consolidated University Board, nor even
Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of Eastern
Carolina University.
Absentees in Primaries
With the big push on due to the low
ering of the voting age from 21 lo 18,
the General Assembly has voted to per
mit absentee voting in North Carolina’s
spring primaries at least for thosq next
May. College students should not be de
nied the ballot, said absentee supporters.
The permission expires December
31, 1972, the idea being to let the 1973
legislators view from experience and de
cide whether to continue.
It may be heresy for one from Cleve
land County to say it, but the absentee
irregularities Of the 1936 gubernatorial
campaign engendered the demise of pri
mary absentees.
Henderson Hall
Perhaps the most formidable of the
weapons in Governor Scott and his sup
porters’ arsenal was the valid charge
there exists a growing duplication (per
haps triplication) of the curricula of the
several schools, in many instances un
tenable from the standpoint of enroll
ments alone. Here the new board has the
authority to approve or disapprove new
teaching programs and to revise and
eliminate others where enrollment busi
ness is insufficient.
This was the aim of Governor O.
Max Gardner when he led the state to
the rc-structuring of the early tliirties,
when the Chapel IliH, Raleigh, and
Greensboro schools became the Consoli
dated University of North Carolina. One
example: engineering at Chapel Hill
moved over to N. C. State and business
administration moved over to Chanel
Hill, both in toto.
One would-be benefit of the re-stri'’-
turing of last weekend likely will not be
realized: a surcease from political play
in behalf of the several universities.
Maybe supporters of each will bo doing
lyiMi-h rnore politicking wiLh the nqvv
board of trustees but the General As
sembly is still the boss and v.he Assem
blymen can still expect blandishments in
behalf of each member of the state’s col
legiate family.
or.
Senator Ollie Harris, of Cleveland,
remembering, initially was leery of re
turning the absentee privilege, was de
feated in his effort to require the ballots
be dispatched by registered mail. His
idea was that the prospect oi provable
mail fraud would prevent mis-use of the
absentee.
A prominent political leader declar
ed some years ago, “Politics will make a
man cheat, lie and steal and he won t
know, he’s-doing it,’’ He simply meant
tliat the desire to wdn. can become suf-
licicntiy and strongly personal to pro
duce such chicaneries as stuffing ballet
boxes, carrying them off, and forgetting
how to count.
The story is old as the hills but al
ways bears re-telling.
Two Kings Mountain politicians
were going through the cemetery log
ging names on the pollbooks off tomO-
s.cics. When they came upon one which
lead “Hufistetler’’, one remarked,
“That’s a long enough name to make
two."
“Oh, no,’’ his partner replied. “That
would be cheating.’’
A new dormitory at North Carolina
School for the Deaf at Morganton has
been 1 Acd for the schools current and
f.uidi president. Ranee Henderson, a
Kings Mountain native and son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Henderson.
“His educational contributions have
left their mark not only in his native
state, but also in Oregon and Illinois,”
said Cecil Porter, chairman of the NCSD
executive committee, in the dedicatory
address.
Mr. Henderson indeed has made an
impressive record in this important
specialized field in his comparatively
youthtul years.

Reluctant To Prosecute
If a police officer sees a cidme and
catches the guy (or doll), he makes ar
rest and signs the warrant.
It is, of course, the officer’s duty.
Civilians are often reluctant to pros
ecute particularly in thieveries. It is the
bane of an officer’s existence who quite
properly asks, “How can we stop him
from the next time?’*
But the civilian has a quick answer.
He may be summoned to court as
leading witness, wait about awhile, then
find the case continued. It may happen
another t’me find another. Eventually,
the resul' hardly seems worth it. And
then the guy may appeal.
No Pattern
Most objective analysts ascribe no
pattern to Tuesday’s various election re
sults, though partisans on both sides
point with pride to particular victories.
Republicans liked the mayoral re
sults in Cleveland and Indianapolis,
Democrats in Phil? delnhia. Democrats
also chortle about the Kentucky govern
orship victory.
Local issues and local personalities
determine outcome of local contests.

. . , TAIWAN IS OUT
By MARTIN HARMON
Rev. Rieliard PlyliT, the Patter
son Grove Baptist church pastor,
was telling Otis RnlLs and me a-
bout an e.xpericnee ho had some
years ago while serving a church
in the mountains of Western Vir
ginia.
Putting Taiwan out of the
Unittkl Nations is quite another
m-atter. It Is bad because it Is a
precedent for expelling a coun-
tiy fix>m what should be a gath
ering place for all nations. The
UN should not be, indeed, Is not
a club at countries which parti

At his second Sunday morning
service. In s.olte of shining .sum
mer skies, Ml-. Plyler’s parishion-
al cupboard was virtually bare
including two In the choir loft
and tlirce in' the pev\'s — some
what shy for a 223-member

"They don’t like and have al
ready decided to run me off,” was
Richard’.s first thought. Then with
some temerity he inquired of the
five, “Where is everybody?”
m-m
Well, it W'as a..nual snake-
handling service for this cult, up
the valley. Well, said Ri'ehard,
he’s never setn a snake handling
rite. Should they go? The five
loyalists were eminently plca«d.
Richard guessed there were
10,000 people on the hills ringing
the valley where this open air
service was being held.
m-m
The rattlers were in a ring of
.sorts. Suddenly a woman began
hviistbig, turning and moaning,
Jumped into the ring and grabbed
one of the snakes. She twirled it
about and and let it writhe about
her head and arms. Then a man
followed, then another and an-
othoi-.
m-m
Alas for Nirmber 4, it was
four strikes and out. His rattler
knifed him on the neck and he
fell to the ground. In twenty
minutes the hillsides were em
pty. Tile sect does not believe in
medi.-al faith, only in spiritual
which dietitates in the first place
that, if the snake handler is bit
ten, he will survive If he has
sufficient faith. Number 4 didn’t
have it sufficient. He died four
days later.
mm
“Ne.xt year on the Sunday be
fore the snake-handlintT rite, I
suggested to my congregation
that we hold our next Sunday-
morning service at our own
HOvse. They complied. It's the
only snake-handlir(r service I
ever saw and I don’t exr-ect to
see another,” Richard concludes.
m-m
Trov Bennett arrived in mid-
July for a fourth term as a mis
sionary in Dacca, East Paskis-
tan. He writes two months later
that he and his family^ h.ave not
wen as mir-h aa-they haxi feare
and were mentally’ prepared. .
m-m
Dacca, he says, is qui'.e nor-
mal—by day. But the p'e-mett
family does not go out at night
While there has been ve.-- lit
tle firing heard at night, it is
still wise to stay inside. He
writes, "What we have heard.
T think, has been some sent-y
reaching to a shadow and then
the one a block aw-ay reaching.
It is like neighborhood dogs
barking.”
The comparative peace of the
cities and towms is another story
outside, where the common vil
lager is the subversive element
and the militia and caught in the
middle. The sulwer.sion for in
stanw, ro'b the villagers cf food
and shelter, then blow up a
bridge and flee. The militia
comes in and blames the vil-
la-’ers. House and crop-burning
follows.
The American delegation did
its ibest to prevent the expulsion
of Taiwan. It failed. It was
bound to fail. Th?re was never
the slignlesL serious cliance of
keeping iwo Chinese delegations
each claiming to represent Ihe
whole oi muuiland Ciiiiia m the
ON at tile same time. The Chi
nese tnemseives were clear about
that. 'I’he sealing of the Peking
delegation was bound to mean
withdrawal of the ’lalwan delti-
gation. Cniang 'Kai-siieK and -iiao
Tse-tung are in full agreement
that mere is and can be only
one China. To both o-f them Tal-
w-an is a province of China, not
a separate and independent
country.
So the American attempt to
have two Chinas in the US'! at the
same time was bound to fail, as
it did fall. The unfortunate
thing was that the UN vote did
include expulsion of Taiwan as
well as admission of Peking, al
though technically the Taiwan
delegation withdrew on its own
initiative. The o-ily ‘‘infamy’ in
tile affair was the expulsion.
That was unnecassary. It was a
ruibbing sale into an old wound.
It was done to punish the United
States for 22 years of a policy
which is admitted in Washington
to have been mistaken by the
very act of abandoning it.
But this too was historically
inevitable. In foreign affairs as
in otlier aspects of human life
the sins of the lathers are in
deed visited upon their descend
ants. Amrican hostility toward
mainland China flowered in the
Korean war. American arms
splendidly repelled tlie original
Invasion of South Korea. But in
tlie following moment of mili
tary pride and overconfidence
a decision was made to attempt
to conquer (“liberate” was the
word used at the time) North
Korea. The Chinese warned that
tiiey would enter the war if the
Amrican Army marched north.
The warding went unheeded. The
march was attempted—and end
ed in military disaster. Out of
that painfully experience came
the long years of hostility to
ward China and of devotion to
tlie idea that the exiles on Tai
wan might some day become
again the government of all of
China from the imperial seat of
Peking.
In the history of Americ.tn
foreign relations there is a com
pleted chapter which began U'iTh
the. disastrous m,arch to the Vijilii
and ends now with the chansc-in
Chinese representation at the
UN. Until the march to the Yalu,
Washington was the recognized
defender of freedom in the
world. It had loyal allier and the
approval of the great majority
of mankind. It was with that
march, that attempt to go norh,
iiat tampering with the saus
ooo whi-b bad emerged from the
end of World War II, that the
cninion ''f others began to
cha'.i.ge. Allies began to falter.
Friends fell away. They o.t-
voted the United States in the
UN. Some of Washington's best
friends, Canada among them,
wore in orfe.-t voting their ils-
approval of that militar.v phase
In American history’ which be
gan with the march to the Yalu
and cu’minated in the Vietnam
war. And now the pri.’x? Is paid.

The Nixon administration has

still plan lo press tor a program
already approved by the House
Agriculture committee.
'By a 21to-10 vote, the com
mittee decided to resurrect an
old proposal for “stmtegic” re
serve stocks o-f wheat and feed
grains. The only strategy in
volved in the plan is purely politi
cal.
Under the proposal the Agri
culture Department would buiy up
to 300 million o'lshels of wheat
and 23 million tons c»f feed grains
at above-market prices. It could
dispose of any of this enormous
stockpile only If market prices
moved considerably above cur
rent levels.
This arrangement, of course,
would 'be stacked on top of the
existing prlce-aupport setup. Like
the present program, too, it would
channel benefits chiefly to the
larger commercial farmers-who
could get along very well without
government help.

quite correctly thinks the reserve
