Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Wednesday, November 2, 1988 Christmas Parade Set Kings Mountain’s 15th consecutive Christmas parade has been moved closer this year to the bearded, roundman’s visit: It is scheduled on Sun- day, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. Announcement was made by Fire Chief Gene Tignor, who with Det. Sgt. Jerry White, of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department, began the long string in 1973. Prior to 1973, parades had not been held annual- ly “We need to hear from persons and firms in- terested in sponsoring floats or units in the parade so we can get the lineup set,” Tignor announced. Last year, some 115 units participated, he said, and this year he is “looking for about the same number’’. The same route will be used this year as at last year’s parade, Tignor said. The 1988 assembly point will be at the corner of U.S. 74 Business and Gaston St. intersection, with units forming to the east (toward Gastonia). At the 2 p.m. start, the units will motor west on King St. to Battleground and turn left on Bat- tleground to Gold St., then east on Gold. Units will begin disbanding after Lake Street, which gives options for the participating units to go any of three directions. . Tignor said that the city electrical crews will begin work next week on decorations for the parade route. All pole decorations are expected to be completed by Thanksgiving, with a theme of “Christmas in the City.” Merchants are asked to erect wreaths and win- dow decor, with the fire department to place pole wreaths and other items. Seven floats are already lined up: Holiday Inn, Amity Finance, Belk-Cleveland Mall, B.B.&T., First Union, Home Federal, First Federal, and Ci- ty of Kings Mountain Employees. White Plains Shrine Club will again sponsor Old Saint Nick and his sleigh. Other floats are needed, Tignor said, and encouraged those interested to contact him as soon as possible. The overall parade effort is under direction of David Handcock, city parks and recreation department director, who asked Tignor again serve as parade chairman. “We hope we can continue our good luck with the weather on Dec. 11,” he added, noting that “only one of the past 14 has been bad’’. A Kings Mountain High School student, Jennifer Jewel Warlick, is among those nominated for Morehead Scholarships to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a second KMHS student, Margaret Bethan Faust, has been selected as an alter- nate.

The town of Grover received $17,055.38 based on 2.68 certified non system miles. The Powell Bill funds were distrubuted this week STREET AID SENT TO CITIES ---More than $66.7 million has been sent recently to the state’s cities and towns including Kings Mountain to help them pay fory street maintenance. : Checks for State Street Aid Allocations (Powell Bill) alloca- tions were mailed or elec- tronically transferred by the N.C. Department of Transporta- tion (NCDOT) on Oct. 1 to 473 municipalities across the state. The money will be used to pay for maintenance and improvement projects on streets inside municipalities that are not part of the state’s highway system. The money comes from funds produced by 1 and 3/4 cents of the state’s 15 and 95/100 cents per gallon gas tax and is distributed under a formula set by the General Assembly. Seventy-five percent of the funds are allocated on the basis of population, while the number of non-state system street miles in each town or city is used to calculate the remaining 25 per- cent. This year’s allocations are $2.9 million more than the $63.8 million allocated last year. Charlotte received the largest amount, $8.1 million, while the Pitt County town of Falkland received the smallest amount, $2,337.19. Charlotte's share was based on an estimated 1987 population of 388,995 and on 1,444.15 non- system street miles, while Falkland's allocation was based on a population of 129 and 0.18 non-system street miles, Other cities receiving major Powell Bill allocations were: Asheville, $1.3 million; Durham, CARD OF THANKS We would like to express to all of our friends how much we ap- preciated your thoughts and prayers during the recent loss of our loved one.

Great-Grandmother: Mrs. Ruby Stroupe Committee Seeking Industry Meets With State Officials A delegation from the Kings Mountain Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development Commis- sion was in Raleigh Monday to visit with officials vy help place new industries throughout the state. The Kings Mountain group, who met with members of the Industrial Development Division of the North Carolina Department of Commerce, outlined opportunities available for corporate development in the Kings Mountain area. The group’s formal presentation was led by chairman John H. Moss who outlined plans for the Kings Mountain Corporate Center which includes development of nearly 2,000 acres along a corridor on I-85 near Kings Mountain and Gastonia and located in both Gaston and Cleveland Counties. In addition to Moss, Kings Mountain Commis- sion members attending the meeting were Jim RIDE TO POLLS Area voters needing rides to Herndon, Larry Hamrick and Glee Bridges. They were introduced by State Industrial Development Division Chairman Alvah Ward. State officials in Raleigh many times came up with industrial prospects who are interested in _ locating or expanding their operations in North Carolina. They assist cities, such as Kings Moun- tain, in placing the industries. The Kings Mountain Commission has also developed a questionnaire for existing industry in the area to see if their needs are being met. “They may also need to expand, and if so we would like to do every thing we can to assist their expansion in Kings Mountain,” a commission member said. Also attending was Frank Matthews, Gastonia, 2 offic] of the Kings Mountain Corporate enter. the polls at the East Kings Moun- tain, West Kings Mountain and Bethware precincts Tuesday may call 739-9304 or 739-2606. ll: ticipated in varsity tennis and track.
