Mrs. Carolyn S. McWhirter, Industry Education Coordinator, counsels Denise Adair about future plans. Sex equity workshop scheduled In today's technological work- place, it is imperative that both young men and young women be- come skilled or trained to do any job that they are capable of doing. At Kings Mountain High School, it is the aim of the Sex Equity Counseling Awareness workshop to make ‘Students aware of the op- portunities for jobs available to them in the high technology fields and also to emphasize to them that anyone, regardless of sex, may be- come a member of this workforce. For the third year, Kings Mountain High School will be of- fering a two-week workshop for girls and boys in grades 9-12. The focus of the workshop will be to introduce the student to high tech- nology careers through field trips to high tech industries, speakers from non-traditional fields who are successful in these areas, hands-on experiences in the classroom in the areas of electronics, telecommuni- cations, laser technology, and car- pentry. The students will also re- ceive counseling sessions in self-esteem, employability skills and the elimination of sex stereo- typing. One of the major thrusts of the summer workshop is to make girls aware of the opportunities avail- able to them in non-traditional fields. This is important to young women for several reasons. First, the role of women in the workplace continues to change. More women are seeking employment because technological improvements have lessened the time spent in daily housekeeping, family size is de- creasing and more importantly, be- cause of economic necessity. Sixty- four percent of women who worked in 1977 were either single, divorced, widowed or married to a man who earns less than $10,000 per year. One out of every ten women are responsible for minor children. Women work because they must. Today, women in the workplace is actually greater in numbers than in 1977. Another reason for teaching about non-traditional jobs to young ri Sanders, s son of Mr. and Nis. David R. Sanders of Kings Mountain, finished fourth in the 1991 Piedmont Council Pinewood Derby Race held at Valley Hills Mall in Hickory May 25. Twenty-seven winning cars from nine districts competed. Jonathan, a fifth grader at West School, is a Webelos Scout in Cub Scout Pack 402 sponsored by New Hope Baptist Church in Earl. He recently re- ceived his Arrow of Light at a campfire ceremony at Moss Lake Campground. The Arrow of Light is the highest achievement award in Cub Scouting. To qualify to race in the Piedmont Council race, Jonathan finished first in the Battleground District Pinewood Derby. TEAMS. BIKE. ATHLETIC SPRING WAREHOUSE SALE!!

In addition, girls usually are taught from birth that there are only certain careers that they should enter. In many in- stances these jobs are low-paying, dead-end jobs. With women being the heads of households, they should be encouraged to train for those careers which are high-pay- ing, and those for which they have the ability to do. By the year 2000, so many jobs will require technical skills that employers will have dif- ficulty filling them unless women become skilled. Computers, laser machines and other high tech equipment do not know the gender of the person who is programming or running them. Applications for the Sex Equity/Counseling Awareness workshop are being taken at the high school in Mrs. McWhirter's office at the present time, or you may contact her at 734-5647.

He said the Environmental Management Commission adopts revised classifications for all N. C. surface water supplies by Jan. 1, 1992 and the No. 3 rating is being recommended for Kings Mountain. The proposed classification is based on existing land use data supplied by local government and on state records pertaining to wastewater discharge within the watershed. +Heard presentation by W. K. Dickson Company engineers of the hydraulic analysis study which up- dates the water distribution maps, gathered data and developed a computer model to evaluate effi- ciency of the system, a planning tool which members of the utility commission say will be invaluable in years to come. The study found areas of low and high pressure and simulated specific demands on the system, said Alex Berkley. | More areas of FIGHT From Page 1-A pose the high fence. The Planning Board, at its re- cent meeting, also recommended the city declare a moratorium on any new towers similar to the Southern Bell microwave tower on Mountain Street and to amend height ordinances to reflect this po- sition. After a public hearing, council approved two other rezoning re- quests on recommendation of the Planning Board from Hubert Toney to rezone his property on Phenix Street from GB to R-6 to construct a duplex or single family house and from J. O. Plonk Jr. to rezone property on Canterbury Road from " R-8 to GB for construction of mul- ti-family housing.
