Cs West School being torn down LAV N RAMSEY Lavon Ramsey quits Parkdale Lavon L. Ramsey, Personnel Director at Parkdale Mills for near- ly 14 years, is resigning her job to join her husband, Charles, in the operation of Carolina Custom Windows at Belmont on Monday. Friday will be her last day at the local plant which employs 100 at Parkdale No. 4 and 50 at Plant No. 19, the former Tultex Corporation acquired by Parkdale.

She is also a Hospice volunteer. Ramsey, daughter of Mrs. Kate Ledbetter of Myrtle Beach, S. C. and the late Henry Ledbetter, came to Kings Mountain 21 years ago to work in the Personnel Department of Spectrum with the late Ben H. Goforth Jr. After 4 1/2 years there, she went to Foote Mineral Company as personnel assistant until October 1977. She was hired at Parkdale January 2, 1978 by plant manager Burris Ramey and the late Ken Pruitt, a vice president of manufacturing, and has worked for five plant managers. She married Charles Ramsey in January 1991 and he owns and op- erates a siding and home improve- ment business in Belmont.

She has two children, Beth Burch of Kings Mountain and Keith Strickland of Shelby; two stepdaughters; and four grandchildren. said Ramsey, who has" FUND From Page 1-A United Fund they repay some of the "good things that have hap- pened to you by living and work- ing in Kings Mountain." Christopher pointed to county statistics of abused and neglected children and said the shelter home serves as many as 100 youngsters during a year's time and can care for nine children at a time. "It breaks your heart to see eight-year- old kids stealing food to put bread on the table for siblings and taking food from the garbage cans," she said. Prior to the presentation, the group watched a video which told how local funds helped one local disadvantaged child. Bridges, described as a typical volunteer, has been active in United Fund since World War II and a past president. "My liveli- hood is here and it feels good to help and to give a little back to my community," he said. Anderson said a result of a survey of business, industry and individu- als revealed that Kings Mountain citizens want Kings Mountain United Fund to continue as an in- dependent entity committed to giving 97% of the total funds raised to area agencies to help the needy in the community. Anderson said the directors inverted the allo- cation process this year and sur- veyed the largest contributors--in- dustry--to tally the requests and come up with an attainable goal despite economic obstacles.

The approximately $100,000 which will be left over from the construction funds will be used for refurbishing North School and re- locating the Central Office to the old Central School building. Central is being used this year by West students while their new fa- cility is constructed, but the maintenance department, previous- ly housed at Parkgrace, has already moved into Central. Once the Central Office is moved to the Central campus, it is expected that the School Board will sell the old Parkgrace School and the current Central Office which was previously Davidson School.

McRae, "but probably as good as it's going to get until we get anoth- er access." McRae estimated that over 1,000 cars travel Phifer Road each day during the times the high school and middle school are taking up and dismissing.
