A Recipe For Living George W. Milier, a Negro, princi pal of Hunter Huss High School in Gas ton County, spoke on the topic “A Reci pe for Living’ at tlie Tuesday night mcetin.g of the Kings Mountain Lions club. His recipe is down-to-eartlt: 1) “In the 'oeginning God”, well-dis covered by tlie blind poet Milton in his “Paradise Lost". “Paradise Regained ", and “Samson Agonistes”. 2) Recognize life — “Tliere is a dif ference betwe.'ii livin.g and life. Every body lives, but many do no! know life." 3) Life must have direction; “Train up a child in llio way he should go and he will not deptirt from it." 4) Recognize that one must work: Jesus said, “Let your life so shine be fore men. 5) One must help others; From St. John, “I am the good shepherd who giveth the good life for his sheep" and “Love ye one another as I have loved you.” 6) Recognition that we come to an end. “Some men live, others litive life. IMethuselah lived over 900 years, Jesus lived 33. Who had life?" Mr. Miller’s conclusions; 1) You can do something about 2) It’s your judgment. Are you go ing to heaven or hell? Paul Mauney Neisler. Sr. .Sometimes, il .seems, the harder one tries the more Iretiuentiy he lalls on his face. The Kings IMounlain board of edu cation, from th(' lime ol the 19.74 court decision striking down segregation in the schools wtis never ilie-iiardly averse to implementing lliat decision. As was his late brother Gene, Paul Mauney Neisler, Sr. was a veritable fountain of information on area history, both of institutions and individuals. Credit it to the simple fact that he practiced the Biblical dictum of “love thy neighbor”. He had legions of friends. He I’e- joiced in their successes, figuratively wept at their tribulations. On the latter ho did what he could to help, quietly and unobtrusively. Many adults today remember that his Mountain Street home and its tennis four! was a regular gathering place. His wife shared ids interest. On the community level, Mrs. Nci.s- ler was identified with any and all ef forts designed to upgrade. On one oc casion, the Jaycoes were seeking funds to purchase a mobile X-Ray unit to mass ferret out incipient tuberculosis. Tlio Jaycoes asked business and indus- ti'v to contribute a dollar per employee. Mr. Neisler wrote the Neisler Mills chock for -that amount. Later a solicitor approached anoth er industrialist. The dollar-per-omployee was mentioned. “I see," he replied, then asked, “What are my neighbors doing.' Tlie solicitor mentioned the Neisler gift. "The.N- did it,” he said. “I'll mail you a check. ’ His, too, was equal to requested quota. Business-wi.se, Mr. Neisler was a “['ro'' in mathematics, served as treas urer oi his family firm, then after sale i.f .Neisler Mills with his sons organized Dicey Fabrics, which has enjoyed suc cess. He vvas an able bank director, and. at one time or another, an integral partnei in numerous firms. His loyalty to the Presbyterian church and its institutions is legend. The area and its citizens have lo.st a good and great friend. Play Ball! Happily, the major league baseball players organization and the club own ers have compromised their differences sufficiently to let the spring training season, and therefore, the regular sea son, open on schedule. 'Twas not the way it was last year, when the players struck to attain their demands. As the way with strikes, everybody involved at the time loses. The 1972 season opened two weeks late, costing the owners revenue from gate receipts and sales of peanuts and crackcrjacks, the players two weeks pay. the hotels at the train ing spas in Florida, Arizona and Cali fornia much revenue, the sports fans too long a hiatus between basketball and baseball, the airlines passenger revenue, etc., etc. The late great major league base ball pitcher and University of North Carolina har.elitill coach frequently voic ed his philosophy, expressing it in base ball lingo. “You win some, and lose .some, and sometimes you got rained out." Happily, in 1973, everybody wins some. For White Sox star Richie Allen, a torrid S12.5,00() per year through 197.5. Little Go?s A Long Way From a few pounds of seed come Imshcls of grain.

A.s I re call the re.sults of the last big gul ley-washer, there were .some basement problems here, but tlie bast-out of tiie Buffalo Creek dam, then incomplete, indicates days, something worthy of note. Yet we take note in this case of some comments cy New York Gov. .Nelson Rockefeller, not so much in the longing for a kind word hut because of the issue itself: freedom of the press Rockefeller took a firm stand on one of the controversial is sues involving the news media, the right of a reporter to pro tect a confidential source.

He declalred, ''.4nd we’re going to settle them without going to court.” The policy of the Rafterree Company was much more liberal than most carriers. 'It decided that in cases where there was quo.stion as to cau.se of loss, the wmpany would pay two-thirds of the lo.ss. Some time later I was talking to John after the blow which wreaked havoc in the Florida Keys. An agent had filed claim tor a total io.ss on a $75,000 mo tel loss. Like the insuranceman’s correct contention that there is no such animal as a fireproof building, John didn’t believe there was such an animal as a total loss. He thus hopped a plane and flew to Key West. He was now a believer. He hadn't found a single brick. m-m Again I learned .something a- bout the insurance busines.s. He said, “Well, it didn’t cost us but $50,000.
