United Fund 75%
Toward $110,000 Goal
Kings Mountain United
Fund volunteers are hoping
to wrap up the 1387 campaign
for $110,000 at Friday’s report
meeting from 5-5:30 p.m. at
the Board of Director’s room,
Second floor of the First
Union Bank.
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. These are services that .

They depend on us,” con-
tinued Kostek.
“Neighboring communities
are in the process of com-
pleting campaigns which
serve their community
needs. Our community is a
proud one. Lets do our share.
If you haven’t made your
an abused child or any of a pledge for the 1988 United

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
