Letter To Editor
Bennett's A Friend
Dear Editor, : ea :
If everyone in Kings Mountain was as freehearted as Ben-
nett Masters, Kings Mountain would be a better town to live
in.
As a friend of Bennett Masters, I want to tell those people
who criticize him and tell lies they need to get forgiveness of
their sins. Mr. Masters has got his reward in heaven and he’s
just waiting for the Lord to call him.
Many people who love the Lord today have doubts about
their salvation. This isn’t altogether a bad thing but we should
take a hard look at our lives from time to time to see if we are
truly representing God to the world through real faith and
love or just giving lip service. A good way to measure our
faith is told to us in this verse. “Do unto others’’. Do you love
your fellow Christians? If you can answer ‘‘yes’ then you
have passed out of the death of sin and into the life of Jesus.
But if you answered ‘no’”’ you need to take another look at
your faith because you haven't gotten there quite yet. The
road to heaven sure would be a lot easier if you didn’t have to
love anybody. But you can’t make it unless you love one
another. You can’t say you have passed from death to life just
because you give large sums of money to the church or
because you faithfully attend Sunday School or because you
always seem to know what is right and wrong with everyone
in your fellowship and just because you know the scriptures
backward and forward doesn’t let you pass from death into
life. When you can honestly say that you love the brethren
I'am proud t6 say Tam Bennett'Masters’ friend. If everyotie
in Kings Mountain was as freehearted as Bennett Masters,
this would be a better town in which to live.

VOTE
CHILDERS
COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 6
I have been asked what I feel qualifies me to serve as a City Commissioner. After giving
that question some thought, I realize that we often cast our votes on personalities rather §
than on qualifications, so I will list some of the things I feel qualifies me to serve as your ¢
District 6 Commissioner.
Concern for the welfare of our citizens: Present & Future
Experience: 8 years prior experience on the City Board. I feel I know how to discharge the |
responsibility of a City Commissioner.
Business Experience: Having operated a business for the past 17 years, I feel I know what it :
is to make a payroll, pay the bills, and try and keep a business growing. This business §
experience can be put to use in the discharge of the responsibilities of a City Commissioner. §
Responsible: 1 have never refused to accept the responsibilities that goes with being in &
business or the responsibilities that went with the 8 years I served as a City Commissioner. ¢
Fulfilling those responsibilities are not easy at times, but I try to meet my respon- ¢
sibilities.
Common Sense: I feel any problem can be approached and thought thru with plain old com-
mon sense.
Ethics & Fairness: I feel that I have always tried to be fair and open minded on any issue that
’
has come before me, and apply the rule of ethics to any issue.
These are some of the things I feel qualifies me to serve as your District 6 Commissioner.
I urge you the voter, to cast your vote for the better qualified candidate and not on per-
sonalities.
I strongly solicit your vote and support as your District 6 Commissioner.
