Thanks

To the editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Dr. Terry
Sellers and Dr. Scott Brodnax for speaking on proper nutrition,
vitamins and chiropractic medicine; and Ronnie Franks, Doug Lawing
and Larry Woods for sharing their knowledge on the proper pro-
cedures for running and jogging at the recent Family Health Night ac-
tivities at the Community Center.
I feel it was an honor to have such caring people to share their
knowledge with my class.
Sincerely yours,

Deeply Troubled
To The Editor: 2
At the Orange County Republican Convention I received a hand-
out which troubles me. It was prepared by a young man who has
worked for the Congressional Club and for the North Carolina
Republican Party. He has seen the way in which the Club rules the
state Republican party and is fighting that influence by opposing the
re-election of the chairman of the state party.
One paragraph of the hand-out describes how the paid staff of the
Congressional Ciub insult and bully the local party officials and
volunteers. Although I have not been active in politics myself for the
last year or two, I have served the party as County Chairman, as
member of the state Executive Committee and as Chairman of the
Resolutions Committee at the 1980 state convention. My own obser-
vations and the observations of many of my friends in the party give
credibility to his indictment of the way the Club operates. Indeed,
anyone who has paid attention to the Club’s political advertising will
recognize a quality of meanness in it. I am far from being a pacifist in
politics, but I do believe in a distinction between honest blows struck
against someone you regard as a particular villain and poison gas at-
tacks against innocent victims.
Good Republicans are supposed to march together under the ban-
ner “Resistance to Bullies”. We claim justifiably as a party to be
specially sensitive when the Russians harry some poor Refusenik way
off in Kiev. Can we tolerate it if here in our own home thugs in three-
piece suits are bullying the members of our own political party?
8 Gilbert Lee Boger. is running for the chairmanship of the state
Fateh _Républican party against the candidate of the Congressional Club. If
we elect Boger and if he does not behave as we like, we can easily vote
— him out. I am deeply troubled by the fact that the same thing cannot
be said of the Club’s candidate. Because of its size (millions of dollars
collected every year) and its reputation for vindictiveness many
Republicans hesitate to oppo any of the orders that come down to the
party from the Club. That young man with the hand-out has shamed
me into standing up to be coutned. Is there anyone in Cleveland or
Gaston County who cares enough about the party of freedom to stand
up with us? :
Against ABC
To the editor:
I’m writing in regards to the ABC referendum. I would like for those
that are in favor of it to please think about it first and if they would
just visit Kings Mountain Mountain Rest Cemetery. There’s a marker
with my loved ones name on it, just because of the bootleggers in
Kings Mountain.
I’m sure there are more if it was known. It has robbed me of a hus-
band and my children of a daddy. So please, think before you vote yes.
Sincerely,
Richard Smyth

Waste Treatment Plan Open For Inspection
From Page 1-A
plan that will be acceptable with
the State and Federal govern-
ments wihtout running in-
dustries off,” he said. “In short,
the plan tells industries what
they can give us and what we
won't accept.”
The biggest non-residential
waste being put into the system
is dye, Ollis said. The system is
designed to accept residential
waste which measures 7 to 8 on
the PH (acidity-alkalinity
balance) meter, and has the
capability of varying two points
either way.
“When dye runs through the
system, the PH goes high as the
acid is used up and you have on-
ly alkalinity left,” Ollis said.
“You have to put acid in to
balance the alkalinity.”
When the PH amounts vary
drastically, he said mother
nature’s treatment-bugs and
other insects which consume
bacteria—are killed. One of the .
main objectives of the plan is to
see that the correct PH levels are
maintained to insure that the in-
sects survive.
According to the proposed
plan, the city will not accept
anything with a PH lower than
five nor higher than nine.
If the plan is accepted, Ollis :
said, the city’s work will be over,
except for enforcement.
“Were proud of the plan,”
Ollis said. “Most towns hired
legal staffs to draw up their
plans.”
