Kiwanians To Present
Travel, Adventure Series
The Kiwanis Club of Kings
Mountain is presenting its first
“Travel and Adventure Series”
which will include three na-
tionally known adventures and
explorers who are artists in the
travelogue field. They appear on
such major platform as: National
Geographic, Washington, D.C;
Town Hall, New York; Or-
‘ chestra Hall, Chicago; and Town
Hall, San Francisco.
. Each is a professional
photographer with many years
experience in traveling and film-
ing the many beautiful and in-
teresting places around the
world. These personally filmed,
allcolor motion pictures are es
pecially popular because the
man shot the picture, appears on
the stage, in person, and narrates
his film. In addition to the thrill-
ing motion pictures and the per-
sonal narration, many of the
travelogues include a musical
background and special sound
effects for added enjoyment and
realism.
Each member of the family,
young and old, enjoys the
travelogues for they are
wholesome entertainment,
educational and adventurous.
Everyone has the urge to travel

Central
equest For ABC
Petition Received
A request for petitions for an
ABC, Beer and Wine referen-
dum for the city of Kings Moun-
tain has been submitted to
Luther Bennett, chairman of the
Kings Mountain Board of Elec-
tions, by Carl DeVane, co-
chairman of the Kings Mountain
Citizens for Legal Control.
Bennett called a meeting of
the Board for Wednesday after-
noon to act on the request. After
the petition is initiated, the
. board will have 72 hours to cer-
tify the number of registered
voters in the city. After that,
petitions should be circulating.
Citizens for Legal Control had
to go the petition route after the
City Board of Commissioners
rescinded their recent action call-
ing for a referendum. They will
have 90 days to collect at least
one-fourth of the names of
registered voters in the city and
return the petitions to the Elec-
tions Board for verification.
According to Bennett, there
were 3,289 registered voters dur-
ing the last liquor vote in 1975,
and he estimated that there are
about 3,600 now.

the City Board, at which time

‘Association in
a selerehdim, Attorney Scott
Cloninger, representing the
Citizens for Legal Control, sub-
mitted petitions to the board
containing, 1,300 names, of
which Cloninger said over 1,000
had been verified as registered
voters. The board did not accept
Cloninger’s petition, but approv-
ed the referendum. At a meeting
two weeks later, commissioners
bowed to the pressure of over
200 citizens representing the
Kings Mountain Positive Action
League, and rescinded their ac-
tion.
The Positive Action League,
which is chaired by the Rev.
Eugene Land of Second Baptist
Church, has written a letter to
the Elections Board asking that
it be notified when the petition is
issued.
The letter further asks that the
Positive Action League be given

called, the league is asking that it
be allowed to be designated as an

ting the petition will conduct it
properly,” Rev. Land said. “I’m
sure the Elections Board knows
what it’s supposed to do.”
