Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, November 7, 1985 re gr a tn Bi i dn Good News For All The Herald is delighted, along with all Kings Mountain area citizens, with the news last Tuesday that E.I. DuPont Com- party of Wilmington, Delaware, in a joint venture with the utch electronics firm N.V. Philips, will locate a multimillion dollar optional disk manufacturing plant in Kings Mountain. The new facility, which will occupy the former Sulzer-Ruti manufacturing plant just off N.C. 29 south of Kings Mountain, will employ approximately 500 people when fully operational. DuPont officials said the Kings Mountain site was attrac- tive for a variety of reasons, including its proximity to major entertainment centers in New York, Tennessee, and Atlanta, as well as the area’s excellent transporation facilities and high quality labor force. Company spokesmen also cited the close cooperation and assistance of Kings Mountain, county and state officials in planning for the project, and Nort Carolina’s overall business climate. To all who had a hand in bringing the new industrial citizen to Kings Mountain, including Kings Mountain Mayor John Henry Moss, we say thank you for a job well done which will mean much to Kings Mountain citizens in new year 1986. North Carolina Commerce Secretary Howard H. Haworth told The Herald that the optic disks this facility produces will someday be as common as today’s phonograph records and cassette tapes but they will have applications far beyond the entertainment industry-reaching into the fast growing fields of computer and information technology as well. Haworth and, Kings Mountain Mayor Moss concurred, that DuPont’s decision fo locate this plant at Kings Mountain is also confir- mation of our state’s continuing stature as a center for high technology manufacturing. The Kings Mountain plant will be the first manufacturing facility established under the new DuPont-Philips venture. Company officials say they expect to begin operations at the facility in 1986. The 160,000 square foot Sulzer-Ruti plant has been available for purchase since early this year and employed approx- imately 160 people at peak production. The facility was built in 1981. : Compact audio discs are the latest rage in the music world. CDs, as they are called, are 4.5 inch silvery discs that bear a slight re3emblence to phonograph records but produce music in an entirely different way. The boom in CD sales has been driven ly a shajp drop in the pice of CD players. When first “troduced, CD players cost average $300-$500. an overage of $18-$20 two years ago to a discount price of $10 to $13 today. : A hearty welcome to DuPont-Philips.

Most people when talking about their in-laws do not have good things to Say about them. All I can say about mine are good things. I have had the pleasure of having the best in laws in the world and I don’t . think I will have much argument from anyone that knows my in-laws. : In 1978 at the passing of my father-in-law, Grier Sipe, The Herald printed for me My Tribute To A Father-In-Law. Below is my Tribute To A Lady, My Mother-In-Law. “To me, in 1948 this lady was an over protective mother. Between 1952 to 1960 I came to like this lady very much. Bet- ween 1960 and 1978 she was very close to me. Many times I would kiss her on the cheek to let her know I really cared for her. In 1978 her husband, Grier Sipe, went to live with Jesus.

Fine Lady believe that between 1978 and 1985 I loved this lady as much as any man could love a mother-in-law. “Some people called her Mrs. Sipe, some called her Cora or Mrs. Cora and some called her Maw. My son, Alan, started calling her Mawsie and soon I was calling her Mawsie too. “Mawsie did things for me to show she loved me. She would ask if she could sew something for me and did many times. She made pants hangers for me, she made bedroom footies for me. When I was sick she made my favorite soup but the best thing she did was to raise six loving, caring, Christian children, one of whom I was lucky enough to marry. «“Mawsie was a Christian, she was shy, modest, caring, and loving as any Christian is. “I would like for everyone to know about this lady, no this Grand Lady that I will always love.” JERRY WILSON Yan the Nov. 5, 1964 edition of The Kings Mountain erald.

Charles Easley, pastor of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, will be the speaker at World Community Day ser- vices this Friday.
