The Herald in its various news ac
counts of happenings in the school sys
tem has long labeled the school system
as the Kings Mountain District Schools.
We’revglad the board of education has
formally made the name change. Supt.
Don Jones points out that over 50 per
cent of the students in the KM school
district are from outside the corporate
limits of Kings Mountain and he said
the main purpose in changing the name
was to make the folks outside the city
limits feel like a part of the system.

Attend The Parade
All reports indicate that Friday’s
Christmas opening parade will be one
of the best ever in this area.
Much effort and planning has gone
into the event, which starts at 4 p.m.,
and the Merchants Association officers
and directors deserve much credit for
the work.
Officially opening the Christmas
season, it’s a good time to remind citi
zens of the Christmas bargains being
offered by local merchants who are
stocking their shelves with merchan
dise to suit every member of the family
on your shopping list.
Some stores will be open late on
Friday night and invite citizens to use
the opportunity to do their shopping.
Hearty congratulations to Mr. and
Mrs. C. Glenn White, who celebrated
th^ 60th wedding anniversary Mon
day.
Sad Tale But True
The Christmas shopping season is
opening in Kings Mountain witn Cnrist-
mas decorations brightening the stores
and wttn the retailers displaying an ex
cellent selection of gift items from ap
parel to novelties, to typewriters.
’Twas the night before Christmas
and there in his chair, father was
screaming and tearing his hair. The
children were upstairs asleep — far a-
way, dreaming of gifts they would find
Christmas day. The money was paid, the
gifts were ail bought ... all was well
with the world ... or so father thought.
Then out to the car, put the gifts on the
scat, and back to the stoi'e for sorne
good things to eat ... he retuiried to
the car and what did he find? Some
sneaking thief had stolen him blind!!!
It is the part of wisdom to attend
to Christmas shopping early. Selections
are now at their best and it’s not much
fun looking for a particular and perhaps
hard to find item during the last-minute
buying rush.
Congratulations to the city’s reign
ing Carrousel Princess Janet Bridges
who represented us well in the Tlianks-
giviiig L)ay parade in the Queen City.
The Gcod Old Days?
C. J. Gault, Jr,, local grocer, has
supplied the Herald this copy of some
office rules posted in 1872 which make
interesting reading;
So you think you'd prefer the GOOD
OLD DAYS ....
Consider the following office rules,
posted in this country in 1872 by Zach
ary U. Geiger, sole proprietor of the
Mount Cory Carriage and Wagon Works.
1.) Office employees
sweep the floor.s, dust the
shelves and showcases.
will daily
furniture,
2.) Each clerk will bring in a bucke*
of water and a scuttle of coal for the
day’s business.
3.) Clerks will'cach day f’ll lamps
clean chimneys, trim wicks. Wash the
windows once a week.
4.) Make your pens carefully. You
may whittle nibs to your individual
taste.
5) This office will open at 7 A.M.
and close at 8 P.M. daily, e.xcept on the
Sabbath, on which day it will remain
closed. .» f ’’
6. Men employees will be given an
evening off each week for courting pur
poses, or two evenings a week if they
go regularly to church.
7. ) Every employee .should lay a-
side from ea^h pay a goodly sum of his
earnings for his benefits during his de
clining years, so that he will not become
a burden upon the charity of his betters.
8. ) Any employee who smokes
Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any form,
gets shaved at a harbor shop, or fre
quents pool or public halls, will give me
good reason to suspect his worth, inten
tions, integrity, and honesty.
9. ) The employee who has perform
ed his labors faithfully and without
fault for a period of five years in my
service, and who has been thrifty and
attentive to his religious duties, is look
ed upon by his fellowmcn as a substan
tial and law abiding citizen, will be giv
en an increase of five cents per day in
his pay, providing a just return in pro
fits from the business permits it.
A sad tale, but too often true. The
Insurance Information Institute points
out every year hundreds of people are
victimized by thieves who steal Christ
mas packages from parked cars . . . oft
en taking the car that the packages are
wrapped in. Some shoppers in their
haste even leave the keys in the ignition
as an added Christmas surprise for the
thief.
The Institute, urges motorists to
“Thief-Proof” their automobiles and
offers these-tips:
Don’t leave packages or other pos
sessions up lor grabs by leaving them
on the scats or the floor of your parked
car. Put them in the trunk —
Roll your .windows up tight, and
lock your car doors.
Don't forget to remove your igni
tion key when you remove yourself from
your parked auto — even for a moment.
Don’t park your car in a remote or
dimly lit spot. Thieves enjoy the oppor-
tiiViity to do their foul deeds where they
are not in the limelight.

Despite tticse party nucleii, the
day of the independent-thinking
1916 provided for Feiiera! parti I voter and certainly of the party
cipation in sharing with the states
the costs of road construction.
A major step was taken in 1956
when the Congress authorized the
42,.590 mile Inter-state Highway
System. This ambitious project,
low well on it.s way to completion,
roaches virtually every- corner of
the and. The Tenth CongresKional
District is crossed by two inter
state routes. Interstate 85 in Gas
ton and Cleveland counties, and
Interstate 40 in Catawba and
Burke Counties.
A striking feature of the Inter

has been financed on a pay-as

party machinery alone used to
conduct the campaign of party-
identified candidates, who usual
ly set up their own organizations
outside the framework of the
party.
So, in fact, there is some con
siderable degenerstion of party
politics, especially as different
philosophies have arisen within

show their disdain for voting the

Republican members of the
