Tough Job
From Page 4-A
with a broad grin on his face.“Have you seen
downtown?,” he asked.““Isn’t it great. I won’t get
scratched by those darn(that’s not the word he us-
ed) holly bushes when I walk on the streets. And I
don’t have to worry about my car getting scratch-
ed when I park it there too, and I can even drive
along the streets and see what the merchants have
in their windows.”
You would have thought he had just won a lot-
tery.
The response did not stop there. A downtown
businessman brought an unsigned message to the
office, praising the mayor’s action. ‘Can we quote
you on that,” we asked. ‘‘Are you crazy, my aunt
is one of the ladies who planted these trees.”
Another caller took issue with the holly trees. ‘I
know the mayor likes things trimmed neatly and
they look nice. but I sure would like to have a tree
you could squeeze. You know, soft leaves,” she ex-
plained. ‘‘You know, like that old
commercial,‘'Don’t squeeze the Charmin. You
can’t squeeze the holly trees.”
Another message was stuck under our editor’s
door this morning.
Dear Mayor:
“I would like to thank you for giving our trees a
‘past due hair cut. Before they had the shape of a
banana, now they are round and shapely.
However, December is the correct timing for trim-
ming. With a few showers from the heavens I feel
sure our trees will continue to grow and need trim-
ming again in years to come.
Signed,
Grateful
P.S. When can some parking lines be painted
downtown? :
Kyle,just make sure you paint them the right
color.It’s tough being a mayor.

outside of the privy door and locked her and her
cat inside. It took them 20 minutes of pounding,
yellings, and caterwauling to get someone to let
them out.”
But that didn’t stop her, either, Mack said sadly.
“A couple of days later she grabbed another
ball, headed for the privy again, and we followed
her, just out of sight. As she shut the privy door
and we rushed up to lock it, the door flew open
again and there she stood, ball in one hand, full

‘a long overdue overhaul,
We are hopeful our city fathers have set the
course to correct these problems. The Kings
Mountain Herald will be reporting their ac-
tions. One thing we applaude at this point is
that our city government has made the pro-
blem public. There has been no skirting the
issue, or coverup of the facts. And, we en-
courage further discussion. We encourage ci-
ty hall to personally take the message to
every corner of the public....to civic and com-
munity clubs, church groups, etc..to explain
the situation.
People won't approve what they don’t
understand, and we are confident that the
people of our community will lend their vigor
and support our city officials on this problem
when they have been made aware of all the
facts. That progress is underway, and we
slop jar in the other, and the cat at her feet, hiss
ing. We tried to dodge, but she drenched us, drop-
ped the ball down the privy, and then she and that
durned cat, both grinning, walked past us to the
house.”
‘‘So you stopped playing ball in the road?” we
asked. :
He looked a little embarrassed. Or a lot.
“No,” he admitted. “We just turned the bases
around and hit the ball the other way, down the
‘street instead of up it. That way we hit the ball
away from the cabbages, rutabagas, woman, cat,
slop jar, and privy.”
We Songroiisied him on his good judgment.
“But why?’ we asked. “Why didn’t you do that
in the first place?”
. He shrugged. :
‘‘Made too much sense,” he said.
I saw no reason to argue with that.
