Shop Downtown
TO THE EDITOR: :
When I go downtown I see a ghost town full of empty buildings,
deserted streets and sidewalks, and bored store managers due to the
fact there are no shoppers.
I hear people, mainly citizens of Kings Mountain, talking about how
little and dinky Kings Mountain is, but it is the citizens of Kings
Mountain who are causing this.
The people of Kings Mountain should shop downtown. I know
malls are more convenient since they ahve a variety of stores, but if the
people of Kings Mountain would shop downtown and support our ci-
ty, Kings Mountain would have more stores. Then it would be more
convenient. Besides it’s a waste of gas-to drive to Gastonia or Shelby.
Our city needs to try to attract bigger and better businesses. It’s not
that the businesses we have are bad, but in the past years we have lost
Belks, Cato’s, Roses, Grayson’s Jewelry and the Eagle Store Co. We
don’t need to loose any more businesses.
“One more thing our city needs to do is to restore the old buildings.
Some of them look like rat holes. the city has already done some work
downtown, but more needs to be done.
With the bypass coming through, the out of town traffic will be
detoured around our city. That means we will have to support our city
even more.
I am a concerned citizen about our city and I wish you would get
concerned too.
Sincerely,
David Dellinger

To the Editor:
During Textile Week (October 18-22), each seventh grade student at
Central School was given an opportunity to visit either Clevemont
Mills, Park Yarn, or Mauney Hosiery. From the comments I have
heard, it is evident everyone profited from.this experience. Students
learned about the manufacturing process. Many had always taken for
granted the clothes they wear each day. Now they have gained a new
respect for the textile industry and its employees.
We would like to thank each of the participating plants for allowing
us to visit.
Sincerely,
Glenda E. O'Shields
Principal
Thanks To Volunteers
Dear Editor:
The people of Cleveland County have always responded to the re-
quest of the American Cancer Society. This year was no exception. I
want to thank the thirty-eight researchers and five hundred volunteer
participants who helped us successfully complete the Cancer Preven-
tion Study II.
This massive research project would have been impossible to con-
duct without the efforts of our dedicated volunteers. They have com-
mitted themselves to the research of cancer, its causes and effects, and
treatments.
I want to extend a special thank you to the Kings Mountain resear-
chers. who contributed their time to this CPS II endeavor. The
American Cancer Society, Kay Holshouser, and I sincerely appreciate
the fine research completed by Rosalyn Brown, Diane Dellinger, June
Lee, Arlene Barrett, Addie Grier, Gail Smith, Betty Petty, and Punkin’
Morgan.
SINCERELY,
Mary Wade Smith
CPS II Chairman, Cleveland County

Have Safe Halloween
With each Halloween comes the anxiety of children ready for a fun
night of trick or treating, and the fears of parents that some nut out
there might try to harm the youngsters.
With the recent deaths caused by cyanide having been placed in
medicine, the fears are stronger than usual.
~ Children going trick or treating Saturday or Sunday night should
take special note, and visit only the homes of relatives and close
friends.
Parents should take extra special care and advise their children
beforehand not to go to the homes of strangers and not to eat any of
their treats until they have been brought home and inspected by the
parents.
Parents should accompany the children if at all possible.
On the front page of today’s Hearld is a story containing safety tips
provided by the Kings Mountain Police Department. Read them
carefully, and follow them.
The Hearld has also learned of some church and school activities
planned for the Hallween weekend. Parents should consider taking
their children to those events, where they will be assured that
everything received is good.

joicing” from the Cantata “Dinn +
du Wirst”; “Jesus, My Lord, My
God, My All” and’ “Blessing,
