Newspaper
Education
Week Set
Next week is Newspaper in
Education Week in the five
elementary schools in the Kings
Mountain School District.
" Mayor John Henry Moss has
proclaimed March 5-9 as
“Newspaper in Education
Week” in Kings Mountain and
classroom teachers will use the
newspaper in different activities
and learning projects.
Ronald Nanney, principal of
Bethware Elementary School, is
chairman of the project in the
local schools. The program is
sponsored each year by the In-
ternational Reading Association.
Tips on how to use the
newspaper in the classroom are
sent to Nanney by the L.R.A.
and he passes them along to
classroom teachers, as well as in
discussions with other principals.
Some classrooms will actually
develop their own school
newspaper next week with
students serving as feature
writers, editors, publishers, and
other personnel found in the
newspaper industry.
Some schools plan to have a
special time during the week
when all subjects will be taught
from the newspaper. Although
the middle through high school
grades do not put the special em-
phasis on learning through
newspapers that ‘the elementary
schools do, English teachers in
secondary schools are encourag-
ed to use the newspaper in some
way during the week.
Students are being urged to br-
ing newspapers from home dur-
ing the week, and in some cases
teachers will obtain copies of
newspapers so all students will
be working from the same
publication.
“The end result is to make the
students more aware of the value
of the newspaper and to unders-
tand the different parts of the
newspaper so they’ll be able to
use it to meet their personal
needs,” Nanney said. “They will
not only be tirged to read it for
information and needs, but to
know where to look and what to
look for in classifieds, social
news, and high interest kinds of
things, and to relate to special ac-
tivities and events.”
By the end of the week,
teachers hope they will have en-
couraged the students “to make
the reading of newspapers a part
of their every day lives and to
become life-long readers of the
newspaper,” Nanney said.

Libruary is currently in process
of microfilming newspapers to

The Kings Mountain Herald
was first published in 1889. The
Library has currently on loan
from Herald Publishing House a
number of bound files which
were accummulated during the
years that the late Haywood E.
Lynch and the late Martin L.
Harmon, Jr. owned and
operated the Herald. Mr. Har-
mon, who owned the Herald
from 1940-1973, also had pro-
vided the Library with microfilm
of some copies. Mrs. Turner said
that these copies from 1947-68
are now on film and that a new
reader printer has been purchas-
ed to make copies for the public
of the microfilmed pages.
Mrs. Turner said the reader
printer and microfilming will be
paid for through a $10,214.86
Bicentennial grant which the
Library received. The microfilm-
ing is a project of the Library
Board which includes June (Mrs.
Will) Herndon, president; Laura
Houser, Margaret McCarter,
Charles F. Mauney, Grady K.
Howard, and Rev. M.L. Camp-
bell. Mrs. Grady helped pro-
ofread the film, said Mrs.
Turner.
Mrs. Turner said that the
Library has added 334 books,
237 of them juvenile books, to
its collection and that 2,461
patrons visited the Library dur-
ing the months of December and
January. She said that circula-
tion during the two months was
3,029. Citizens are invited to use
the three reading rooms at the
Library and the Carolina Room,
where family histories and
North Carolina books are hous-

history collection was donated in

Summers, a noted historian.

the direction of all realtors to
work together, they said.
