Library Notes
Hey kids! Did you know that
you can travel to Mars, to deep
dark caves, to haunted houses or
exotic islands, or even another
time? All you have to dois “Just
Open A Book” at the public
library. That’s the theme of our
summer reading club this year.
Summer is a special time at the
Mauney Memorial Library.
That’s because we get to invite
children aged six to twelve to
join us and become members of
the “Just Open A Book” club.

The SNAPPER riding lawn
mower has earned its reputa-
tion for superior power and
performance. Heavy gauge
steel components and the ex-
clusive drive system with
sealed chains and gears make
the rider tough and durable.
On-the-go shifting, easy
height adjustment, quick re-
sponse steering and a rear-
mounted engine give the driv-
er unmatched convenience.
- SNAPPER’S STANDAR
RIDER IS THE STANDARD
OF EXCELLENCE
Options like the rear mounted
grass catcher, Thatcherizer,
front dozer blade, front load
carrier and the new front
mounted two stage snow-
thrower offer four season ver-
satility. Year round, SNAPPER
riding mowers set the standard
of excellence
for lawn :

Every week, children will br-
ing with them a list of all the-
books they have read. For each
book they read, JOAB the Frog
will jump across their reading
record another step. How many
leaps do you think you can
make?
We will celebrate the end of
the *““Just Open A Book” club
with outdoor games, stunts, and ~
a special surprise. In addition,
every child who completes the
program will receive a certificate
and a decal (to put on your bike,
books, clothes, nose or anything
you can think of.) Children who
read 10 books or more will also
receive a special prize of dis-
count coupons to Carrowinds
Park for themselves and their
family.
Parents, summer reading is a
sure-fire way to help your child
maintain and improve his or her
reading skills. Superintendant of
Public Instruction A. Craig
Phillips noted in an open letter
to parents that “there is not a
better way to prepare our
children ‘for the coming school
year and for life than to en-
courage them to practice their
reading skills. The summer
reading program stimulates the -
children to read through the use
of films, puppet shows, music,
crafts, contests and other related
media.”
Registration to the “Just Open
A Book” Club is limited to 50
children, so sign up soon.
Children can join at the Mauney

No Action Taken
On New Aerator
From Page 1-A
“model. Public Works foreman
Walt Ollis said a smaller unit

sufficient for the amount of
waste being treated at McGill.
Ollis said the McGill plant is
running at only one-fourth
capacity, and the 30 horsepower
aerator wastes energy because
~ “jt can’t be slowed down. It has
to run or not run.”
However, Ollis said he was
not sure if the state would allow

replacing it with
horsepower unit.
‘horsepower unit, he said, could
handle 750,000 gallons of waste
per day, which would be more
than what was needed in the
foreseeable future. If there came
‘a time when its capacity needed
to be more than 750,000 gallons
per day, it would have to be
replaced with a 30 horsepower
unit, he said.
Commissioner Jim Dickey
made the motion that the action
be tabled until Ollis can further
investigate the situation and get
clearance from the state to
replace the McGill aerator with

Letter
Help Maintain Dignity
Dear Citizens of Kings Mountain,
On Tuesday, June 1, we will *honor our senior class with their
graduation exercises. This very special event will be held in John Gam-
ble Stadium, weather permitting, so that we can accommodate
everyone who wishes to attend. :
Please help us maintain the dignity of this event by showing proper
respect to all graduates during the entire exercise. This is not an
athletic event, and loud remarks or applause from the audience during
the exercise are very much out of place. Our seniors have worked hard
and are certainly deserving of a dignified graduation ceremony.
In keeping with this desire to have a dignified evening we are closing
the tennis courts and all athletic fields on campus from 7:30 P.M.
I am sure that we can count on the cooperation of our citizens in
these matters. Let me thank you in advance on behalf of our school
and especially our senior class for your help. Let us all join together to
make next Tuesday a special night.
Thank you. ;
Sincerely yours,
Robert R. McRae, Jr.. Principal
