The world is an open book
"The World is an Open Book,"
and this summer at the Mauncy
Library we will travel around the
world in books. We will begin our
tour in Japan, as we kick off the
Summer Reading Club with a
demonstration of karate by Robert
Eng and his students on Friday,
June 5, at 11:00 a.m.
Japan is a fascinating country of
contrasts, with a unique culture of
its own. The Mauney Library has
a number of books in the junior
room on Japan which include
Japanese poetry, cooking history,
geography, and literature.

Curley Howard joins
entertainers at WKMT
What goes around comes
around. I know it's a worn-out
cliche. I don't think it's out of place
with this article.
Back in the fifties, both Jonas
Bridges and Hugh Dover were an-
nouncers for Don Gibson's live ra-
dio show. A young man called
"Curley Howard" was playing lead
guitar for Gibson.
. Jonas hadn't seen Howard in
over 40 years. Now Curley is com-
ing to work for Jonas,
Back in the days when Curley
and I were on the road, we both
traveled with cowboy star Lash
Larue. We weren't there at the
same time. I did meet Curley while
we were on the road. It's not like
Howard is coming to work at a sta-
tion with people he doesn't know. It
could be that WKMT is the
Valhalla for old entertainers.
Curley Howard is one of the
most popular morning radio per-
sonalities in the south. He has a
_ down home personality. His warm
delivery and natural laughter is his
biggest asset. It makes the audi-
ence feel like he's a life-long
friend. Curley gives a personalized
endorsement to his sponsors. Many
clients are more than satisfied with
sales generated from advertising on
Curley's radio show. He has the tal-
ent to motivate a buying audience
to a particular brand or store.
Howard Sisk was born in
Shelby. At 14 he left home with a
guitar to find his fortune. He trav-
eled with Grand Ole Opry stars.
Among them were Don Gibson,
Clyde Moody, Don Reno and Red
Smiley, Kitty Wells, and Red
Sovine. Since then he's been in mu-
sic.
Howard's next endeavor was ra-
dio. He worked with a band on a
live show in Raleigh and
1985).

Louisiana. He went to work as a
DJ in Winston-Salem. He stayed
there for 18 years.
A drunk driver almost ended
Curley's career. It was about a year
ago. Early in the morning, Curley
was driving on Highway 16 be-
tween Newton and Hickory. A
drunk driver hit him head on.
Howard suffered a broken back,
bruised heart, broken arm, broken
shoulder and lacerations.. He spent
six months in the hospital.
Howard is up and around. He
says he feels good, but still has
some back pain. ~
Curley has a son in college. He's
at East Carolina University in
Greenville, His wile travels exten-
sively. She lives in Kernersville.
Curley has been living at Lake
Norman. He likes to fish and listen
to music. The 24-foot pontoon boat
he owns gives him a chance to do
both.
I know the audience and staff at
WKMT will be glad to have
Curley on the wind, By the time
this article is printed, Curley will
have signed on. He will work from
5am. until 9 a.m,
Jerry Bedsole, who ran the
morning shift for years, will take
over at 9,
