for painting landscape and often
take field strips to the Gamble
farm and to Bryant’s home.

PCB Leakage
At Truck Stop
Cleveland County Fire Mar-
shal Delane Davis and
Bethlehem volunteer firemen
were called to the scene of a PCB
(polychlorinated biphenyls) spill
at the I-85 Truck Plaza south of
Kings Mountain Monday after-
noon.

tion and
nd painted “History of’ Energy
Mural” with four student
assistants.
In 1983 Bryant was appointed
to a three-year term on the
Shelby Art League Board of
Directors.
Gaffney, S.C. Poet Jack said of
Bryant: “Hal Bryant is one of the
young and talented exponents of
the new agrarian realism which
has as its purpose the recording
of a time and a way of life that is
all too quickly disappearing from
the South. Inherent in his art is
that sensitivity which perceptive
painters bring to those things of
simple origin which tell so much
of the history of a region. These
things activate both mind and
soul to contemplate a world in
which men could be at peace
with the toil required of them by
life in this world and with their
simple hope of glory in the world
to come.”
The exhibit is free and open to
the public.

Resolution
Remembers
Mr. Gault
* The Board of Directors of
First Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Kings Mountain
recently adopted a resolution of
respect in memory of the late
Boyce H. Gault, who served on
the board for a number of years.
The resolution read:
“Whereas, - Mr. Boyce H.
Gault, for many years a Director
and Vice President of First
Federal Savings and Loan of
Kings Mountain, has completed
a life of constructive service and
steadfast devotion of duty
he was held, our sorrow in his
death; and extend to his family
our sincere sympathy;
“Be it resolved, that this
tribute be recorded in the
minutes of the First Federal Sav-
ings and Loan Association of
Kings Mountain, a copy be
published in the Kings Mountain
Herald, and a copy be delivered
to the family of Mr. Gault.”
“We hereby record as some in-
dication of the esteem in which
Haulers, a division of Chicago
Tank Cleaners of Alsip, Ill., was
apparently abandoned in the
parking lot of the truck stop.
Chief Larry McDaniel of the
Bethlehem Volunteer Fire
Department said his men col-
lected the leaking chemicals in
buckets. Environmental officials
were at the site Tuesday analyz-
ing the chemicals, which are
suspected of causing cancer and
kidney disorders.
Abbey Ledford, Cleveland
County Emergency Manage-
ment director, was in charge of
the investigation. She said about
five buckets of PCB were col-
lected. The leak slowed to a stop
later Monday evening.

stolen and abandoned, but later
said it had not been stolen. They
were alerted of the potential
danger after seeing signs on the
side of the truck which warned
that it was carrying PCB.
Mrs. Ledford said the situa-
tion “is not a major problem, but
could have been.”
The truck apparently had
been parked at the truck stop
since Sunday. After firemen col-
lected the leaking poison late
Monday afternoon, the area was
roped off and Cleveland County
Deputy Gary Sanford stayed by
the tractor-trailer the remainder
of the night.
Mrs. Ledford said the trucking
company said the amount of
PCBs being carried was “not at a
toxic level.”
