Letter To The Editor Thanks From Scouts Dear Editor, The purpose of this letter is to thank all Kings Mountain area citizens, and especially the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, who helped make North Carolina a Cleaner State and Kings Mountain a Cleaner Community in the recent Telephone Pioneers Clean-Up Drive. It would be impossible to list the names of all the Scouts and Scouters who participated and all the local people to who par- ticipated in this clean up campaign. We appreciate each of you. : M.C.

Blanton, School Social Worker KM District Schools MTT rae ovérage’ 3 Appreciates Dear Editor, Thank you so much for the wonderful coverage you gave the “Safety Haven” for Girl Scouts program. We do ap- preciate it and you. MRS. W.K. MAUNEY, III Round Of Applause Dear Editor: : I believe, too often, we as a people lean toward dwelling on the tragdies or negativisms of life and it becomes so easy to overlook the roses or positive aspects which surround us. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your participation in our community. In my many years as a citizen of this city, I have observed the outstanding cooperative attitude that your publication has exhibited toward the many civic clubs and organizations, and their causes. ; I realize, of course, that it is your duty to inform the public of coming events, but as I behold the mastery of your profes- sion unfold into articles, it becomes very obyious that your in- tent is not only to inform but to promote and encourage unity of our citizens in the endeavor of every worthy cause our peo- ple unselfishly pursue for the betterment of our city and coun- As in the past, I felt ydur coverage of Mountaineer Days was very commendable and certainly deserving of recogni- tion. I feel that your entire staff should receive a round of ap- plause for the delivery of a very impressive publication.

If Mrs. Corry is elected as a school trustee, she will represent first Black to serve on the board of education. If Mrs. Alexander is elected a city commissioner, she would be the second woman to serve on the city council in Kings Mountain. The question of salaries of city commissioners have sur- faced in this political cam- paign. Although, city has long n a leader in pay levels for some jobs the fact that com- missioners are among the highest paid council members in North Carolina (salary of $4,631 per year plus city insurance benefits) has brought criticism from some citizens but none from com- missioners and the mayor who feel the salary is justifiable. Kings Mountain is one of only five cities in the state with populations of over 5,000 that remains under the council mayor form of government. Under this system, the commissioners are assigned supervisory duties over various depart- ments and are active on many committees. However, when compared with the other four towns in the state using the same system, Kings Mountain commissioners still recieve three times the average pay. Statewide, only Raleigh, Winston Salem, Charlotte, Wilmington and Fayetteville pay their coun- cilmen more than Kings Mountain. The average pay for the 29 cities of similar size within the state is $1,538. Polling places on Nov. 5th for the city election will be the same: East Kings Moun- tain at the Community Center and West Kings Mountain at the’ Armory. School patrons will also vote at the Armory, at the Community Center, at Bethware School and at Grover Rescue Squad. Elec- tion officials will remain the same. Polls will be open on Nov. 5th at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. Don’t Let Accident Spoil Child’s Halloween The Halloween celebration should not be marred by ac- cidents or any other tragedy. The North Carolina Medical Society offers these tips on how you can make Halloween trick-or-treating safer for your children. —Warn children not to eat any of their treats before they get home. Examine all of the treats carefully before per- mitting the children to eat them. —Buy costumes, wigs, masks, and beards labeled me Retardent.”’ Though fire, the label indicates they will resist burning and will be easier to extinguish once they’ve been removed from an ignition source. Beware of situations where kids, costumes, and candles are mingled. —Prevent children from tripping and falling by outfit- ting them in costumes that aren't too long for their height. Well-fitting, sturdy shoes are a good idea. Mother’s high heels are not good for safe walking. —Steer your children toward wearing brightly col- Turn To Page 5-A items could still catch It’s Time For A Change’ See Page 12-B NT I A AR RE REI SSA anata VOTE NOV. 5, 1985 FOR HAROLD PHILLIPS FOR A MORE RESPONSIVE CITY GOVERNMENT FOR ALL CITIZENS You are asking for a more efficient and open government.
