Campaign Chairman Bill Davis said he is optimistic hot the goal can be surpass- ed. Due to the fact that many area citizens, businesses and all industries have already responded to the United Way slogan, ‘‘Because We Care’, the 1988 Kings Mountain United Way Campaign is about 75% complete. ) ‘However, the most dif- ficult part of the task is always the last 25%. We believe that there are still many individuals in our com- munity who intend to support the local United Way Cam- paign who may not be aware that the time for making the annual pledge is getting late,”’ said United Way Presi- dent Ted Kostek. ‘““The Kings Mountain United Way has for years been involved with area citizens in taking care of many of the community needs? This has always been a total volunteer effort with no paid employees. The ad- ministrative cost of the local program runs around 2.5% of the budget,” he said. “Programs which are fund- ed by the United Way serve all.

A Hard-To-Get Hobby By ELIZABETH STEWART News Editor Underwater photography is a hobby that Kings Mountain's Dewey Bookout enjoys about two weeks every year on vacation. Some of his colorful pictures of long-spine squirrel fish, Christmas tree worms, and angel fish have been framed and are part of a collection of Bookout and Kevin Russell that decorate the new Cary’s Seafood Restaurant and Steak House which opened on King Street Tuesday. A certified scuba diver, Bookout, got hooked on diving about seven years ago and about four years ago became comfortable with the diving hobby and took a course in underwater photography. The secret of his success is patience. “You have to wait for the fish to swim by and you have to be quiet. Any kind of distraction and off the fish will go and you'll get a picture of only their tails,” he says. On each dive Bookout spends from an hour to 90 minutes in a 40-50 feet shallow reef waiting for fish to capture on film. And he has done just that, his hardest-to-get Turn To Page 4-A vacation trip.
