Page 12A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday. September 15, 1983 Field Complete For City Election From Page 1-A office. and ‘I ‘have the wholehearted support of my family and friends.” “Many times we, as citizens of Kings Mountain, are too content to become involved in the affairs of our city,so we sit back and let someone else do our thinking for us. I became more keenly aware of this after hearing Senator Ollie Harris speak to our Class of ’48 reunion. He urged our class members to become more in- volved and concerned about our city and state politics. I, too, would like to see our citizens become more concerned about the affairs of our city and to speak out on the issues that con- cern each of us. If there are any problems that arise, that should be corrected, it is up to the citizens to work together to br- ing about a change or solution to that problem. Working together to make our city the kind of city we can be proud of and one where others would want to live, work, and raise their families. By running for commissioner I feel that this would give me an op- portunity to serve all the people of Kings Mountain. “Many good things have been done to improve our city, which I appreciate,” she added. “However, I feel that there is still much to be accomplished. The water supply to the homes in our area is way below standard and I feel that with all the federal grants that this city has received in the past, that this situation could have been solved long, long ago. I believe in helping the people of our city before bran- ching out to help those in other areas and towns. Some street repair is being done, but there are still many more to be repaired. I would like to see our streets and sidewalks kept cleaner and the grass cut. “Also, our recreation program is way below par. The new con- Mayor Moss Proclaims Kiss Your Baby Week Next week has been proclaim- ed “Kiss Your Baby Week” by Mayor John Henry Moss and several other mayors in the Cleveland-Gaston County area.

The week has also been designated Na- tional Cystic Fibrosis Week. The insuance women plan several fund-raising activites at Eastridge Mall in Gastonia. Mayor Moss’s proclamation reads: “Whereas, cystic fibrosis, the number one genetic killer of children and young adults in the BLOODMOBILE The Kings Mountain In- dustrial and Community Blood- mobile will be held Thursday from 12:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Kings Mountain Baptist Church fellowship hall.

WE RUN A VERY SIMPLE BUSINESS United States, is a crippling, debilitating lung and digestive disease; and “Whereas, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to preventing lung damage and lengthening the lives of the thousands of American children who suffer with cystic fibrosis; and “Whreas, parents can help discover cystic fibrosis by kissing their children to detect the sign of a strong, salty taste of the skin; and “Whereas, Kiss Your Baby Week, sponsored by the Gaston County Association of In- surance Women is designed to help parents recognize the signs of cystic fibrosis; “Now, therefore, by the power vested in me as Mayor of the City of Kings Mountain, I urge all citizens, during National Cystic Fibrosis Week, to join with us and the Gaston County Association of Insurance Women in learning the signs of cystic fibrosis; and do hereby proclaim September 18-24 as Kiss Your Baby Week.” SIMPLE SAVINGS ON USED CARS 81-PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 2 TONE PAINT - WIRE & MORE $5695 82-CADILLAC - 4 DOORS LOADED W/ ALL CAD OPTIONS 80 - CHEV MONZA WHITE LETTER TIRES 4 SPEED 8450" 12695 79 - OLDS CUTLASS CRUISE - STERO - LIKE NEW 76 - BRICK CENTURY AUTO AIR - STEREO - MORE $3995 $159500 64 FORP "a1 p UP coon 1900 $89500 81 PONTIAC B'VILLE WAGON GRAND SAFARI PKG.

We definitely need a much improv- ed, well rounded recreation pro- gram for people of all ages, one that is well planned and well supervised. I would like to see some new business come to our downtown area so that our peo- ple who want to shop at home can support our local merchatns. By working together, I think we can see much of this accomplish- ed and make Kings Mountain a city to be proud of.” Davis From Page 1 - A “I wish to serve as a represen- tative ‘of all the children and parents of our school system,” she went on. “I will listen to all concerns from parents, students, teachers, administrators and all other citizens.

Water From Page 1 - A Four Commissioner Norman King, who represents the nor- thern area on the city board. “I’m glad we’re in the positoin to provide better water pressure for this area of town.” Mayor John Henry Moss add- ed, “this project required a lot of patience and hard work. Some of the line installation costs on Stowe Acres was done through Clean Water Act money, but ci- ty personnel did all the work. We're very proud of the job the water and sewer, property and maintenance, and electrical departments did.” Moss said the city hopes to im- prove water services further north on Highway 216 in the near future. The city hopes to build a water storage tank in that area. McCoy From Page 1A “With three children in school, I have a vested interest in the Kings Mountain School System, and in the quality of education our children get,” Mc- Coy stated. “I have been through the public school systems and the college systems and feel like I know what it takes to succeed in our school system.” The McCoys attend First Bap- tist Church in Grover, where Mr. McCoy teaches Sunday School.
