SHIPP
From 4A
controversy, the bill became
law on Nov. 2, 1983.
Now that we have the
day, let us observe it by
honoring the work of Dr.
King. We may not be able to
accomplish the great things
that he did, but we can all
do something to help our
nation be truly the great
nation that she is destined
to be, Instead of taking the
holiday as a day off from
work, or school, or whatev-
er our walk of life may be,
let us not take it as a day
from something but let us
take it as a day to do some-
thing, or rather should I say
as a day to undo something.
In spite of all Dr. King’s
work and good intentions,
racism is still very much
alive and well in this
beloved nation of ours. Let
each and every one of us
begin anew now to do
whatever we can to put
down this terrible monster
that seeks to divide us once
again.
(Howard Shipp is associ-
ate pastor of New Life
Christian Church in Kings
Mountain and a member of
Kings Mountain City
Council).
HEFFNER
From 4A
huge “shortfall” as a prel-
ude to a push for a state lot-
tery, then when his lottery
bill is turned down, he'll
find some way to raise
taxes. Either that or he will
take more money from the
cities, who in turn will raise
taxes.
Either way, it’s going to
cost the taxpayer.
What I would like to see
most during the coming
year is Antonin Scalia con-
firmed as Chief Justice of
the U.S. Supreme Court,
then another conservative
named to replace Scalia. I
don’t think the Democrats
are going to sit still for that,
but they might, considering
what happened to Tom
Daschle.
I usually jot down items
for this column during the
year, and clean out the note-
book at the end of the year
for one final column. This
year, my notebook got lost
when our hot water heater
burst and we had to turn
the house topsy turvy and
put in new flooring.
I didn’t get a cheap col-
umn this year, but maybe
I'll find it. Then I'll write
the cheapie.
