City Served
Copy Of Suit
‘Kings Mountain has been served
papers involving a discrimination
lawsuit filed in November in U. S.
District Court in Asheville on behalf
of a former employee Patsy Parker,
fitness instructor.
The lawsuit alleges that Parker
was discriminated against by former
mayor John Henry Moss, city em-
ployees Clyde Parrish and former
& Maintenance,
down from
city recreation director, George
g Adams. kg
that the city, defendant in the action,
is'in process of preparing a re-
sponse.
Corry said the papers were served
on the city in late December.
Drug Information
What can a parent do to pre-
vent drug abuse?
You can start by providing your
child with accurate, up to date infor-
mation about drugs. To do this, you
must first educate yourself. You
don't have to be a drug expert, but
you do need to have facts to support
your views. Unfortunately, many
parents wait until their children are
involved in drugs before initiating a
discussion. That's too late! You
should talk with your children be-
fore there's a problem. As early as
fourth grade, your children may
have some knowledge of the drug
scene. Much of their information
will be inaccurate and will tend to
glamorize drugs. That's why it's
very important you be prepared to
set the record straight. And, remem-
ber, don't make your discussion a
one-shot event. Children need to be
reminded often where their parents
stand on drugs.
If you would like to have your
questions answered, call the
Information Center, 739-1829.
A NEW YEAR’S
RESOLUTION
If 1989 is the year you've
resolved to sell your house, do
it right. Resolve now to get
the t possible return on
your investment by listing
with a real estate profes-
sional.
There are two issues: the
cost and hassle of marketing
the property, and — bottom
line — your net proceeds.
Selling a house takes time
and effort. It takes money to
advertise and prepare signs.
It takes time to show a house,
and time to qualify prospec-
tive purchasers, to make sure
they can afford the house you
want to sell them. It takes ex-
tra time when you don’t have
the experience in writing ads,
showing a house, questioning
prospects, negotiating — all
the important details.
What the real estate agent
has to offer is knowhow to do
it right, to ask the right price,
to find a good buyer, to sell
the house for the best possible
return. Experience shows
that real estate Bros get more
for a house n a do-it-
yourselfer,
Here’s wishing you a
wonderful New Year. Happy
1989 from your friends at
