mcs 5 i I mac ee HEARING TEST-Dr. Eugene Poston, right, tests Marvin (Slim) Huffstetler, above, in the new offices of Griffin Hearing Center on West Mountain Street. The new business, which also include realty appraisals, opened this week. Hearing Aid Center Opens Here When he was a teenager a firecracker popped in his ear and left a hearing loss which doctors told him a hearing aid wouldn't help. Dr. Eugene Poston, who opened Griffin Professional Hearing Aid Center and Poston Real Estate & Appraisers at 117 West Mountain Street this week, said he is proof positive that a hearing aid "can help you understand what you hear." Until three months ago, Poston said he had difficul- ty hearing television and for years in the classroom had difficulty hearing in his right ear. "I would always turn my good ear to the person speaking to me even in class”, said the retired Gardner Webb College President who is also a Baptist supply pastor and taught speech and sociology classes at American Management College in Gaffney, S.C. until recently when he opened the Kings Mountain business. Poston also teaches a Young Marrieds class at Dover Baptist Church in Shelby and has been an active real estate broker for 12 years.His wife works in the Personnel Department of Charlotte Presbyterian Hospital. The couple resides on Yarbrough Road in Kings Mountain. A Master Senior Appraiser, Poston has been anxious to open a Kings Mountain office and found the perfect spot in a beautifully-renovated office owned by George Lublanezki at 117 West Mountain Street be- side Cloninger & Neisler law firm. * Three days last week Don Robinson, hearing aid specialist, was in town giving free testing and by next week Dr. Poston expects to be licensed to give tests. The local office will be open Mondays through Fridays from 9 am. to 5 p.m. and on weekends by appoint- ment. Griffin Professional Hearing Aid Center, which also operates an office at 1415 North Lafayette in Shelby, will also offer repair service on hearing aids. Frank Griffin and his daughter, Angelia Griffin Goode, hearing aid specialists, will join Poston at the Kings Mountain location three or four days a week to see pa- tients and to administer hearing tests. "We've been looking at the Kings Mountain market for a long time and are pleased to offer this combina- tion appraisal and hearing aid service to the communi- ty," said Poston, who said the business will offer com- mercial listings as well as appraisal work. He said Harold W. Smith of Forest City, will be available as a master senior appraiser in the Rutherfordon office. "The Griffins and I welcome the opportunity to serve Kings Mountain people," said Poston.

Drug Info By CATHERINE HARDY Could you tell me about A.A.? Certainly. A.A. stands for Alcoholics Anonymous. It was started in 1935 by two men who had been "hopeless" drunks. They founded A.A. in an effort to help others who suffered from alco- holism and to stay sober them- selves. Alcoholics Anonymous is a vol- untary fellowship of men and women from all walks of life who meet together to maintain sobriety. The only requirement for member- ship is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for mem- bership. A.A. is a program of total absti- nence. Members simply stay away from one drink, one day at a time. Sobriety is maintained through sharing experience, strength and hope at group meetings and through the Twelve Step program. The Twelve Steps are also used with Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.), Gamblers Anonymous (G.A.) Overeaters Anonymous (0.A.) Cocaine Anonymous (C.A.) and many other groups. Anyone may attend open meet- ings of A.A. Closed discussion meetings are for Alcoholics only. For more information about A.A., look for "Alcoholics Anonymous" in any telephone di- rectory.

While the group tried to ex- tinguish the blaze Benjamin ran a half mile to a neighbor's house and called the fire department,” said 'Heroic Action’ Staub. Horne is the son of Gregg and Wanda Horne of Shelby. Staub organized Troop 90 a year ago with five members. FORMER LEGISLATOR HONORED-Former N. C.
