Contest Students To Set Example Against Drug Use Central School students will lead a ‘‘drug awareness’ campaign and “Set An Ex- ample” in the fight against drugs, according to John Pet- tus, advisor for the program. Students will begin working on posters this week to originate, plan and run a drug awareness campaign to influence their peers in a positive way and compete for a $500 cash prize. The na- tional “Set A Good Example’ contest has the backing of President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan and is co-sponsored by the Concerned Businessmen’s Association of America and The Way To Happiness Foundation, a pair of non profit charitable and educational groups head- quartered in Los Angeles, Calif. Pettus, who said the Cen- tral School Student Council, is launching the campaign in Kings Mountain, received messages from several television celebrities this week in support of the pro- gram to set drugs off school grounds. Joey Lawrence, child star — HARRY Si TY ’ Ll EN CLE Paid Political Ad For Charlie Harry Candidate For Cleveland County Commissioner FE J of “Gimme A Break’, and national spokesperson for the Set A Good Example contest leads an all star cast of more than twenty TV celebrities backing up this schools stu- dent council and student body in the national competition to “get drugs off our school grounds.” The cast includes Kim Fields who plays Tootie Ramsey on “Facts of Life”, Tony Tanza who plays Tony Miceli on “Who’s The Boss’’, Ted McGinley who place Ace (Ashley the photographer) on “Love Boat’’, Ilene Graff of “Mr. Belevedere,”’ and others. 2 About, drugs, nine-year old Joey says, ‘Drugs are a heavy thing. They ruin your being what you are living for and what God gave you a talent for. You can work your whole life toward your goal - put your whole life’s effort in- to achieving it - and then take some pills and just trash it all. That’s all there is to it. Drugs destroy.” Kim Fields says this, “I think it’s up to our school athletic programs to help Set The Example in the fight against drugs. To me, the big- gest tragedy of all is seeing more and more young athletes fall victim to drugs. How many have to die - like Len Byas or Don Rogers - before someone does something? Athletes have the power to be tremendous role models and if they say “No More!” then maybe young people will listen and learn efore it is too late.

It’s a myth that cocaine is not addictive. Ask the athletes whose careers have ended early because of it. And, it’s a shame you can’t ask the ones who have died from it. It’s fine to be cool, just don’t be a fool at the same time.” : And Ted McGinley sent a very brief message. “The best way to stop drugs is never to start!” The contest ends April 1st, 1987. Student councils of more than 450 schools representing 50 states have entered the competition. Every school entering will be recognized for student body participation. fr Each school receives a sup- ply of drug abuse prevention and educational materials and copies of a booklet con- taining 21 common sense guidelines for achieving per- sonal goals, happiness and success in life. These materials are being donated by the national association of Pharmacists Against Drug Abuse and private sector business people. The booklett entitled, ‘The Way To Happiness”, is fast becoming a very popular item with teens and is one of the most popular books in America among students. Young people have helped distribute the over 11 million copies now in circulation. As one teenager says, ‘I really like this book because it isn’t preachy and makes a lot of sense.” Fire Department WANTED Will the owner of a white pickup truck that witnessed an accident at the corner of King Street and Watterson Street at 4 o’clock Mon- day, October 20, please call B.F.
