Monday night moved ahead ‘of Kings Mountairi, which had made: a coms" mitment. 0 Woodbridge: to begin" construction by spring: 1994. If Shelby follows its current plan Woodbridge residents will get nat- ural gas by November 1993." "We're disappointed,” said oi Manager George Wood: .. = Council to meet Tuesday No major items of business are on the agenda for Tuesday night's monthly meeting of Kings Mountain City Council. The board meets at 7:30 p.m. in Council. Chambers at the Governmental Facilities Center. City Clerk Marilyn Harriell said that the city will conduct a public hearing after publishing a notice of intent to swap a piece of land at Moss Lake with New Camp Creek Baptist Church. The city will also set Christmas holidays. Streets to close for resurfacing Sherwood and Sharon Streets will be closed the first part of next week for resurfacing. Public Works Supt. Karl Moss said the street resurfacing is the fi- nal portion of the drainage project. New electric conduit and wiring to replace old style lamps in front of Mauney Memorial Library and wiring of a new Christmas tree at the intersection of Piedmont and King Streets closed portions ofWest King Street for several hours Tuesday. City crews will start pouring concrete at the access road of the National Guard Armory at Mountain ‘and Phifer Roads Thursday. The city recently closed the street at the request of the Armory which owns the property. In April, Shelby hired Heath and Associates, the same engineering firm which did the Kings Mountain “study last year which suggested Kings Mountain expand its natural “gas: system into Woodbridge to tap a growing: base of potential cus- “tomers. Kings Mountain officials asked Shelby to omit Woodbridge - from the city's gas expansion plans. But Monday night, Shelby claimed Woodbridge as its own, denying the Kings Mountain Council re- quest. "It seems to me if we don't do it it's going to wreck our own plan,” said council member J. B. Heath. City officials have said Kings Mountain could not provide the gas next year because it is moving to expand gas lines east of the city to serve the new Firestone plant. Bryon Hendricks, a spokesman for the Woodbridge Property Owners Association, told Shelby Council that residents there would be pleased to get gas from Shelby. "Commit to Woodbridge or step aside," he told the council. "We're willing to help," said Hendricks. "We don't want to cre- ate a feud between the city of Shelby and the city of Kings Mountain. But we're very, very in- terested in the natural gas."

"Bridges just played a trick on me," said the good-humored Stewart, who went to the barber shop every Saturday: for a shave and haircut. Another near miss happened to Russell White. A strained muscle from operating a tiller in his garden had left the barber with shaky hands. Russell was lying back in the barber chair and Bridges, at- tempting to shave his long black beard, raised his arm to shave the upper lip and nearly cut the man. "Russell sat in the barber chair with his eyes shut, as most men do when they get a shave," said Bridges. "This time his eyes opened and were as big as saucers. He thought that I had cut him." . The late Doytt Falls liked to tell similar stories on his barber friend to the customers who came to his’ shop over the years. “‘Doytt was just full of himself. He had cut his ear as a child and put soot on it, an oldtimey remedy, to stop the blood. One day he was waiting for me to cut a little boy's hair. "Look at what Bridges did to my ear,” he said, showing the child. The five-year-old boy jumped from the barber chair and ran. Bridges said that Falls ran after the boy and set him straight on the story. - Other times Bridges said Falls watched the hair cuts and re- marked in jest, "Looks like some rooster has been pecking at your head," he told customer after cus- tomer. After a couple of times, Bridges started using a mirror to show his Parade Nov. 26 which highlights the four-day festival. The largest Thanksgiving Day parade in the Southeast will be telecast on WBTYV in Charlotte, with more than 500,000 vicwers watching live and at home. The parade, slated to begin at 2 p.m. at 11th and North Tryon Streets in Charlotte, will proceed south on Tryon to Stonewall Street. It will then proceed up College Street to 2nd Street--following 2nd Street until it reaches the end in front of the Adams Mark Hotel on McDowell-Street. Events for Carolina Princesses begin Tuesday. The Coronation Ball will be held Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. in Founders Hail-Nations Bank Corporation Center. The crowning of the new Carrousel Queen will highlight the event. Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children under 12. The Thanksgiving family buffet will be held on November 26 at Radisson Plaza Hotel, the head- quarters hotel for the event. Grandstand tickets for the pa- rade are $4 in advance and $5 on parade day. Tickets to all events may be ordered from PO Box 34644, Charlotte, 28234. customers that their hair cuts were cut to their order. One day, however, Bridges said he paid off his old friend for his mischief. Bridges taped Falls’ con- versation during a day in the barber shop. Bridges patterned his style after some of the oldtimers: Baxter Wright, Pat Tignor, Charles Dover, Gene Wright, and Charlie Goforth, to name a few. William Bill Bridges and Mildred Mullinax will be married 52 years on November 22. Bridges was 17 and his bride was 16 when they tied the knot. Son of the late Luther and Minnie Huffstickler Bridges, he attended Kings Mountain Schools. They had two children: the late Terry Bridges and Judy Putnam of Kings Mountain. The family includes one grand- daughter, Tommie Bridges. The family is active in Westover Baptist Church. Bridges says he has no immedi- ate plans for retirement but after retirement he would want to be a professional fisherman. / Fishing and gardening are his {tiobbies. On his day off he and his “wife head for a stream or lake where the fish are biting. MINISTRY From Page 1-A Ethel Tignor. The man said he and his family came home from church to find their house had been broken into and food and other valuable ‘items taken. "The need is up from people who are out of work and who just can't make ends meet," said Hamrick.
