BR re Te TN Tr Ti ~ Slants By Gary Stewart Stewart’s Duke’s Chris Castor Has KM Connection Kings Mountain now can lay claim to three outstanding football players in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Most everyone knows of Kevin Mack, the outstanding running at Clemson, and Markus Hager, the hard-hitting defensive end at N.C. State, who were outstanding athletes at Kings Mountain High School. But not everyone knows of the connection between Duke Universi- ty’s outstanding wide receiver, Chris Castor, and the Historical City. Castor, a 6-0, 170-pounder who leads the ACC in all receiving statistics, lived in Kings Mountain from December 1, 1965, until January 1, 1970, while his father, Rev. David Castor, was pastor at ‘Resurrection Lutheran Church. Chris was just a lad then and not old “enough to play sports, but did begin his education at West Elementary School. He is well-remembered by a number of church members who fre- quently post his accomplishments on the church bulletin board. ~~ Chris is the oldest of three Castor children. His younger brother, Mark, was around two or three when the Castors lives here and his sister, Cindy, was about five. / The Castors left here to go to St. Stephens Lutheran Church near Hickory, and from there they moved to Cary, where Chris starred in high school sports. Rev. Castor is now director of the Lutheran Synold Camping Program. Castor has more than doubled his career receiving totals during his senior season. In four previous season with the Blue Devils (he qualified for a fifth year after suffering an injury in the second game last year) he caught 31 passes for 477 yards and four touchdowns. So far this season, he’s hauled in 42 passes for 853 yards and a 20.3 yard per catch average. All of those figures lead the ACC. In last week’s victory over Wake Forest, he caught 11 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns to set and ACC record, and was named ACC player of the week. : 2 Mrs. Paul (Ethel) McGinnis, whose son John was the quarter- back the 1956 Kings Mountain High team which went undefeated and won the Western North Carolina cham- pionship, used to baby sit for the three Castor children. be “Chris was a tall, skinny fellow and yous never would ¥have thought he’d"grow upto be football player,” Mrs. McGinnis said. “We've really been following his playing with a lot of interest.” Resurrection’s current pastor, Rev. Gerald Weeks, didn’t know the Castors then, but is just as proud of Chris’s accomplishments. “A lot of our members remember him well,” he said, “and it’s a routine each Sunday to clip out articles about him and put them on the bulletin board. We have a small children’s choir and we have a choir robe with Chris’s name sewn in it and all the young boys fight over it every Sunday.” Letters CASTOR Needs Pen Pals To the editor: I have found your publishing address in our American Library. So, I am a young man who wants to exchange letters with pen pals from North Carolina and improve my English. My hobbies include poscards, bluegrass, country and western music, movies, traveling and scenic places. I live in Karshiyaka, which is a north suburban town on the Bay and very close to Izmir, and there are ferry runs daily between Izmir and Karshiyaka. Izmir’s the third largest city with many Roman and Byzantine monuments nearby. So I hope you’ll help me to hear from pen pals soon. Thank you very much. Regards, Ferit Unsal 6189 Sok. No. 14 Karshiyaka, Izmir, Turkey £ iii Disappointed To the editor: I was extremely disappointed that the Kings Mountain Herald did not send someone to cover Congressman Jim Broyhill’s visit to Bethware School. The children of Mrs. Dianna Allen’s fifth grade wrote to Mr. Broyhill and asked him to help them get a new flag for their school. The flag that was being used was frayed and needed to be replaced. Congressman Broyhill took the time to come to Bethware and present the school with a flag that had flown over the Capitol in Washington, D.C. He spent a great deal of time at the school, visiting classrooms and talking with the children. The children were so excited and put on a very impressive program for the Congressman. The Shelby Daily Star saw fit to come and a picture was in the paper the next day. I certainly expected more from our local paper. Sincerely. Cathy C. Bridges (ED NOTE: Unfortunately, Congressman Broyhill's visit to Bethware was on a Wednesday at 1 p.m. Wednesday has for years been the Herald's press day and all schools in the district are constantly urged to schedule activities on other days. The Shelby Daily Star and other daily newspapers have several full-time photographers and reporters who have only that one duty. The Herald, and most other weekly newspapers. have one-man news staffs, and the editor not only gathers and writes the news, but also takes, processes and prints all pic- tures, sets his own type, and pastes up the paper. Schools receive more publicity in the Herald than anyone else and Bethware certainly receives its share.) City Board Discusses Repairing Moss Dam From Page 1-A “Generally speaking, the idea behind CDBG funds is to make the funds stretch as far as possi- ble,” White said. “CDBG paid for materials and engineer fees and where the city had the man- power to furnish the labor, it was done.” White said it would be up to the auditor or HUD to decide whether the city should be paid from Block Grant funds. Paying them without approval would risk an audit finding, he said. “In no ways am I trying to deny that the city is due funds for that job or any other job,” White said. “If the board wants me to I'll be glad to ask HUD now.” “Someone needs to be asked,” Childers said. “The city needs the money.” “All the money really belongs to the city,” White said. “But we can’t spend it when it’s in Atlanta,” Childers said. Missing Jackie Bagwell Hendren, 27, of 915 Grace Street, Kings Mountain, has been reported missing by the Kings Mountain Police Department. ; According to the police, Ms. Hendren was last seen on Oc- tober 15 at the Bear Den on Highway 161 south near the - North Carolina-South Carolina line. She is a white female, five feet five inches tall, weighing 105 pounds, with auburn hair and green eyes.

Childers also wanted to know how much money is owed out of the $400,000 surplus funds. “There are no major projects hanging that I know of,” White said. “Everything that needs to be done has been done. There may be some minor things.” “There are no outstanding bills?,” Childers asked. “As soon as the auditor is through with his report I can give you an authoratative answer,” White said. “You're sitting there with the “Do you not know?” “No, it’s the auditor’s respon- sibility,” White said. Childers said all department heads should know ‘within a ballpark figure what they've got. You know how much Com- munity Development has spent and what you had to start with and how ‘many bills you've authorized,” Childers said. White said he’d know when he receives his computer prin- tout. “I used to receive those prin- touts too,” Childers said, “but for some reason 1 haven’t receiv- ed one in over a year.” In other action Monday, the board: *Approved a resolution delcar- ing costs exclusive of cost incur- red at street intersections and ordering preparation of preliminary assessment rolls for improvements on Catherine A KERO-SUN PORTABLE HEATER IS - THE ECONOMICAL GIFT THAT SPREADS WARM FEELINGS ALL YEAR LONG. - a Kero-Sun* and listed by PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU ALL YEAR LONG WHEN YOU GIVE A WARM, MONEY-SAVING GIFT.
