When Ruey Throneburg
became a widow nearly 20 years
ago, she didn’t quite know how
' she was going to fill the time.
She eventually found herself

work and sewing for the public.
Now all those years of collec-
ting recipes is going to pay off
because some of Ruey’s recipes
have been published in a book
entitled, “Treasured Pound Cake
Recipes’’ by Ruey M.
Throneburg. It will come out
just after Thanksgiving just in
time for the holidays.
“I chose this particular title
because these recipes are my
treasures. The recipes are really
good and each recipe is different.
Some are cold oven, chocolate,
coconut, and sour cream cakes,”
Ruey explained.
“I didn’t know of a cookbook
with just pound cake recipes. So

recipes for pound cakes that

kidnapped and assaulted by an
unidentified man wearing a ski
mask on November 16.
According to Kings Mountain
police reports, the girl was on her
way home from school on
Parker Street when the man pull-
ed up in a small gray car and
forced her in the car. The man
slapped her around and drove
her around town before letting
her out of the car. The victim
was unable to make any iden-
tification except that he was
wearing a ski mask and blue
coat.
Just two days prior to this inci-
dent, a young junior high stu-
dent on her way home was being
followed by a white male driving
a silver Toyota or Volkswagen.
She became frightened and went
to a friend’s house and called her
father and the police.

nouncements to make at that
time.
The Commission talked with a
representative from Cablevision

some idea of what kind of de-
mand was in Grover for Cable
TV. He stated he wanted to
send out a survey shortly after
the first of the year. Commis-

tative what would be the least
number of households it would
take to get the service. Calbevi-

School Divison, 123 percent.
“I’m delighted we reached our
goal,” stated Bill Davis, Cam-
paign President.
“We will ex-
ceed it even more because some
contributions are yet to be sent
in. We had some folks who real-
ly worked hard and I want to
commend those nine who were
responsible.”
Michael Brown will be the
guest speaker at the Victory Din-
ner at 7 p.m. Monday. Michael
Brown is the self proclaimed pied

company was definately in-
terested in serving the Grover
Community and that they were
wanting to establish a basic
understanding of the town
needs.
At the conclusion of the con-
versation the Mayor stated, “We
have several people who are in-
terested and who ask about it
everyday. We can now tell the
people it looks hopeful but it
could go either way. After the
first of the year it looks more
favorable.”
The council discussed the cur-
rent status on construction of
the City Park. They received a
letter from the National Guard
in Raleigh denying their grading
request for the park at this time.

December. They voted to con-
tinue clearing the site as they
have been doing and to get the
fire department to assist in burn-
ing the accumulated brush.
