Letter To The Editor To the Editor: As I read Gary Stewart’s Christmas wishes for others, which by the way he does every year, the thought came to me that Gary is always giving praise. Compliments, acknowledgements and best wishes to others not ory in sports but in other community affairs. Yet to my knowledge I can’t recall anyone writing and thanking Gary for his outstanding reporting. So I for one, and I am sure there are many thousands more, that would like to commend Gary and express their appreciation for the many years of hard work in Feporimg to the sports loving fans of Kings Mountain. is letter was written before Christmas but put aside and forgotten for a time. This is so true in many instances. We forget to tell others how we feel and to express our thanks. Like Gary let us acknowledge the good in others and give praise and recognition when and where it is deserved. Gary keep up the good work. I am sure your many readers pos like to express their appreciation and thanks for a job well done. Thanks again, Donald L.

Box 769 Kings Mountain, N.C. 28086 704-739-7496 VSPS-931-040 Soil, Water Conservation Week Slated Emphasizing everyone’s role in protecting soil and water resources for future generations, the Cleveland County Soil and Water Con- servation District is en- couraging local churches, organizations and individuals to join the nationwide obser- vance of Soil and Water Stewardship Week April 24-May 1. The local district, which works throughout the year on soil and water conservation measures, is providing literature and speakers that highlight man’s responsibili- ty to be active stewards of the nation’s soil and water resources. Sam Jenkins, chairman of the Cleveland Soil and Water Conservation District, said: that while farmers and ran- chers know that good conser- vation practices help in- crease yields and improve their profit potential, they also know the importance of passing on well cared for natural resources for future food producers. “We could give our children all the Honey in the world, but it would do them little good unless we also give them a roductive soil on which to ive,” he said. Since 1955, the National Association of Conservation Districts has sponsored Soil and Water Stewardshi Week, in cooperation with nearly 3,000 local conser- vaton districts nationwide, as one way to emphasize the im- portance of good stewardship of basic soil and water resources. Materials especially designed to convey the 1988 theme, ‘‘Stewardship Is Our Future’’, are being distributed by the Cleveland Soil and Water Conservation District and may be obtained by calling or visiting the district office during business hours at 124-1 South Post Road, Shelby, the Food Lion building, or by calling 482-1906. - JUSTIN RAY GANTT Celebrates Birthday Son of Therman and Dale Gantt, celebrated his third birthday on Saturday. A train birthday cake was cut and sewed with cheeseburger and all-the-way trimmings. Family and friends attend- ed. Go against the grain. Cut down on salt. Adding salt to your food could subtract years from your life. Because in some people salt contributes to high blood pressure, a con- dition that increases your risk of heart disease.
