still almost $2,000 shy of their
1983 goal.
Pledges thus far total $64,212,
Campaign Chairman Pat
Cheshire reported. The goal is
$66,000.
“With those who have not y;
year, that’s good.”
Kings Mountain, which has
gone over its goal for the past
eight years in a row, was hurt by
the closing of several industries
and slow work schedules at
several others.
“Of the money collected last
year, $12,000 came from people
who worked at plants that have
"either closed or cut back,”
Cheshire said. “But our people
have worked very hard to make
up for that lost momey and the
people in the Kings Mountian
area have been very generous.”

Service Slated Wednesday

community-wide Thanksgiving
service, sponsored by the Kings

,tion, will be held on Wednesday
evening, November 24, at 7:30
p.m. at Temple Baptist Church,
612 North Cansler Street.
Rev. Eric Faust, pastor of
First Presbyterian Church of
Kings Mountain, will bring the

area churches participating will

The offering to be received

noted that the education division
surpassed its goal for the first
time in several years, presented
special awards to principals Jim
Scruggs of Grover School, C.A.
Allison of North School, Jane
Shields of West School and
Robert Scism of the

Nadine Davis received a
special award from the Kings

tion.
Ms. Strickland took over as
United Way president after the
death of Rev. Clyde Bearden.
“We all know what a beautiful
job he did last year,” Ms.
mercial
Harrison:
. Strickland noted. “We thought
about him a lot and needed his
guidance.”
In presenting the President’s
Award to Ramey, Ms.
Strickland noted, “He did a very
outstanding job. Everybody I've
called on have done more than
they were asked but without
Burris our campaign would have
been sorely lacking.”
Guest speaker Dwyer Sump,
executive director of the North
Carolina United Way, praised
the Kings Mountain volunteers
for a good job in a “difficult
economy.”
Sump said United Way drives
are tougher during election years
when volunteers are sought for
campaigns. “It makes it more dif-
ficult for us because we have to
share the limelight,” he said.
With government cutbacks in
social programs and Block
Grants, Sump said people will be
looking more to voluntary
groups such as the United Way
for assistance.
“The changes that have taken
place in the federal government
are here to stay, regardless of
which party is in the White
House,” Sump said. “It gives us
the opportunity to assess needs
and fund them. The voluntary -
sector will have to step up the
pace of what we do.”

Moss said the committee will
attempt to involve churches and
other organizations in determin-
ing persons who need to con-
serve energy and who may need
assistance.
The two-day forum in
Charlotte, in addition to show-
ing the individual cities ways to
conserve energy, also focused on
topics such as electrical load
management, and state and
federal energy programs and
funding.
