by Rev. Jack Cooke, chaplain of

Elakorating on the theme,
“The Nobility, O. Being Ordi-
nary”, Mr, Cooke challenged Jay-
Cees and guests: “Let us not for-
get who we are, what we are and
enjey every day of life.” He an-
swered his own question, “What
has happened to our sense of
values?”, by asserting that lead-
ership is over-emphasized.' “We
forget the mechanic,
man, the farmer or other ordi-
nary people”, he noted, in our
desire to drive to be something.”
“For every leader there : are
many followers and the world
depends on those with ordinary

you from the bottom of my

Otis Falls, Jr.,, 1961; and Bob
Southwell, 1963.
In presenting the handsome en-
graved plague to Culyer, Mr.
Falls said of Culyer: “Here is a
man who can take a boy into the
woods, get him interested in
books as well as nature and the
scouting program. He tutors,
free of charge, at home, after
school and never turns down a
suggestion...” Both Mr. Falls
and Mr. Culyer are active in the
scouting program of St Mat-
thew’s Lutheran church.
A native of Albemarle, Mr.
Culyer joined the Kings Moun-
tain schools faculty five years a-

Businessmen
Give Opinions
On: Prospects
Kings Mountain's economic
prospects for 1965 appear good,
1 spot survey of area industrial-
.sts showed Wednesday
Whether 19385 will be a good
business year in Kings Mountain
| brought virtually similar opin-
Ja from yarn manufacturers as
well as businessmen,
W. K. Maunsy, Sr.
Mills is optimistic as well as
George Houser of Sadie Mills,
Ben Grimes of Phenix Plant No.
1 of Burlington Industries and
Tom Tate, sec cretary-treasurer of
: Home Savings & Loan Associa-
i tion, among “other leaders.
Mr. Houser said, “It looks bet-
ter than a year ago, in fact busi-
of Mauney
i ness has been brisk and we are
hopeful it will continue and 1963
will be better than 1964."
Most leaders shared the same
opinion that recent legislation
giving the textile industry one-
price cotton is the difference.
Before Congress passed the
i one-price cotton legislation, it
was possible for foreign textile
industries to “uy American cot-
ton at a lower price than could
business interests. The expan-
sion in textile industries in the
Carolinas is due to their ability
to buy cotton at an equitable
price, Mr, Houser believes. Mr.
Houser noted that this legisla-
tion opened up buying that peo-
ple had been holding back and
he hopes the two-year program
will be “a permanent thing.” The
program, as set up, will expire
August 1, 1966.
Beh TF Manel, president of we
Chamber of Commerce, said:
“1965 is a bright new year and I
am confident it will be a -good
one for mercantile, manufactur-
ing and home construction in
Kings Mountain. . Kings Mountain
business citizens have enjoyed a
profitable year. We have seen the
evidence of progress and are
pleased that K Mills has joined
our industrial family. I am opti-
mistic that 1965 will be the best
vear in the history of Cleveland
County.”
