Moss, Allen Win From Page 1-A strongest showing in several at- tempts at the office. Moss gathered 1,609 votes to 340 for Hamrick. Moss received 1,082 votes at the Armory. “I'm very gratified,” Moss said as he relaxed in the office of Ray Hurley, director of the com- munity center. “I’m appreciative of the confidence shown by the citizens of Kings Mountain. It was an excellent turnout in view of the very bad weather. The citizens are to be commended.” Moss said one of his main goals for the future will be to develop a beautification project and work toward a goal of earn- ing Kings Mountain All- American City status. “I’d like to ' develop a program which would involve considerable citizen par- ticipation,” he said. Moss said he renews his pledge “to devote my time, energy and what talents I possess to continue the task of making our city a better place to live, work and raise our families.” Commissioner Nicholson needed 67 votes to take a majori- ty in the District Three race. He received 965 votes to 710 for Franks, 194 for Frank “Bud” Wright and 127 for T.C. “Red” McKee. Franks said “it was a good campaign. I'll definitely call for a runoff.” King, who first won office in 1963, led the District Four race by 91 votes over Rev. Campbell. He received 644 votes to 533 for Campbell, 347 for Clara Ross, 244 for Danny McAbee and 230 for Harry “Dutch” Wilson. King won by a 449 to 362 margin at the Armory, their home precinct, and by just four votes, 195 to 191, at the com- munity center. “It was too close not to call for a runoff,” Rev. Campbell said. “I thought I would have won at the Armory.” King said “I appreciate the confidence of the voters and if there is a runoff I would ap- preciate consideration for their vote. I’ve enjoyed serving on the council and if re-elected will work for continued progress.” ELECTION BITS: The official vote canvass will be held Thurs- day at 11 a.m. The total number of votes cast in the District Four race was 2,018, higher than the amount of voters (1,999) given out by election officials. But registrars said that figure doesn’t mean there were any irregularities. Very often, they explained, several people will come by the School Board Okays Traffic Control Idea From Page 1-A toward the Grover area,” Allen said. “This will take about half the bus traffic off Phifer Road.” Allen said the road could also be used for ballgame traffic at night. Allen said the traffic situation at the junior high is critical in the afternoon when parents picking up students fill up the driveway which runs in front of the school, as well as the sides of Phifer Road. By cutting a new entrance near the top edge of the teacher parking lot, there would be plen- ty of room for two lanes for parking and a third lane for mov- ing vehicles, he said. In other action Monday night, the board: *Was told by Allen that most of the special capital outlay funds received from the county as a result of roofing projects at county schools has been used. The money was spent for roofing projects at Grover, Central, East and West, fencing at the high school stadium, purchase of an activity bus, construction of a storage facility at the high school and grading at several sites. The schools will request that the county finance officer allow them to use the remaining $2,413 toward the road project at West School. * Approved the following per- sons to serve on the new Health Council, which will review health curriculum, including sex educaton, offer recommenda- tions, and report to the school board: Rev.

Harwood Smith, Dr. Joe Lee, Mary Lou Ware, Faye Bennett, Mike Garner, Mike Jimison, Martha Scism, Emily Suber, Anne Thombs, Nancy, Albergine, Steve Ellis, Bill Hager, Glenda O’Shields and Sara Whetstine. Martha Bridges of the School Administrative Staff and Jimmy Hines, Director of Health Services for Cleveland County Schools, will serve as ad- visors and Superintendent Bill Davis will be an ex officio member. *Approved the plan for distribution of Chapter I funds among the three county school systems. Cleveland County Schools will receive 52 percent, Shelby 26 percent, and Kings Mountain 22 percent. The for- mula is based on the 1980 cen- sus. *Approved a 10 percent in- crease in salary supplements for coaches and directors of special extra curricular activities. Davis said Kings Mountain’s coaching supplements are now in line with most area schools but are still far below Shelby and Charlotte- Mecklenburg schools. * Approved the transfer of two students from Cleveland Coun- ty. * Approved a leave of absence for Mrs. Jodi S. McDaniel and approved an interim contract for Carol Lynch at West School. * Approved new contracts for William Little, custodian at Grover, and Jenea Holtzclauth, P.E. teacher at Bethware.

Davis to transfer funds of no more that $15,000 per item. registrar’s table at the same time and due to loud talking or other confusion, the election officials entering the names of voters in the book might not hear the name called and, thus, not write it down. One woman voting at the Ar- mory asked West Precinct Registrar Hilda Moss, “If I show you my ballot, will you tell me which ones are Democrats?” Of course, Mrs. Moss’s answer was no. “Now, if she’d asked me how many were Baptists, I might could have told her that,” Mrs. Moss said. Mothers always tell their children to love everybody. One voter at the community center must have learned his lesson well. He voted for everybody. Another voter at the community center must not have learned his lesson, nor his spelling lesson in school. On the mayor’s ballot, he made a big X across both names and wrote “Rong People.” Thursday.
