By ELIZABETH STEWART News Editor Sandi Shockley, 39, feels good about being a candidate for Mrs. North Carolina- America and the five foot nine 135 pound beauty hopes to bring home the crown from Wilmington Saturday night. Wife of Danny Shockley and mother of four children, Mrs. Shockley has been lif- ting weights for the past several months and working out on a regular schedule of fir- ming up exercises at Wiley’s Fitness Center, in addition to her daily workouts on- the-job as a PE instructor at Grover School. This weekend she will trade her tradi- tional school costome, sweat shirt with jeans and tennis shoes, for beautiful high fashion clothes which accentuate her slimness and her light brown hair and eyes. Why has a Kings Mountain mother who has the good looks of a model, entered the beauty contest? ‘For my own self esteem and well being’’, says Sandi, who said that she will tell the judges during a four minute interview that counts 50 points in the judges eyes on scale of 100, that philosophies and goals are changing. ‘I feel, basically, that I have led and guided my four children in the proper way to conduct themselves and be responsible citizens and it’s now time for me to think of my husband and myself and to set new goals. I’ve decided there's much to be accomplished after the child raising years’’, she says. When she told her husband, who owns and operates East King Shell Station, of her decision to enter the contest he said ‘Go for it.”’ So did their children, Shane, 18, who will enter the Navy in June; Doug, 17, a KMSHS senior; Misty, 17, a KMSHS junior; and Danny Shockley, 11, fifth grader at West School. She will have her own cheering section in Kenan Auditorium at 8 p.m. Saturday night. Sandi Shockley...Preparing For State Pageant KM’s Sandi Shockley In Mrs. N.C.

All persons who have never registered to vote and those whose names have been taken off registration books for some reason are encouraged to register. Effective March 1, the Cleveland County Board of Elections will be holding two registration drives er year in the precinct polling places. This program has been designed to simplify registration for both the registrant and the elections office. Hopefully this will also cut down on so many errors when registering voters as they will be able to register at their precinct polling place. Plans at this time are to hold the drives on the first Satur- day of March and September from 10 a.m. to 12 noon p.m. Hilda Dixon, registrar for West Kings Mountain precinct, said that there’s a good chance that persons who have not voted in the past two Presidential elections are no longer registered. “We've had a lot of people come to vote in the past who thought they were registered, but were not,”” Mrs. Dixon said. Area polling places include West Kings Mountain (National Guard Armory), East Kings Mountain (Community Center), Bethware (Bethware School) and Grover (Grover Rescue Squad). Persons who are not able to register Saturday but would like to do so by appointment may call Mrs. Dixon or the registrar of their district. : For more information, call Mrs. Dixon at 739-3332.
