Letters To The Editor
OearEdttor:
A 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl is heart>broken. They
don’t want to sleep or eat. They Just want their Trigger back.
Their three year old Gorman Shepherd Dog, name of Trigger,
has been missing since about Lunch time Sunday. The dog,
normally very protective of the children, would seldom leave
his yard at 306 Waco Road. He is large for his age, stands
3 feet tall on 4 feet, about 6 feet on the back feet. Is brown
ish black with a big nose. His red leather collar sports his
Ilscense plus a metal tag which contains his namd and address
He wither strayed or was picked up on Sunday. Donna Reginna,
1, and Donald Avery, 3, just don’t understand. They Just want
their trigger to come home. If you see him, please call the
parents at 739-4314 or 739-9948 or please bring him home to
his two heart-broken children. Trigger is the same age as
Donald Avery, being a birthday present to him. Please con
tact the Murray’s If you know his whereabouts. Thank You.
Weren’t no fish story! I
was in error last week in re
porting that Joe Lee Wood
ward had caught a 12 pound
crapple. It was a 3 pounder,
the 12 pounds was apparently
in reference to an^er fish
he had caught.
One reader, after seeing
this column last week said of
the catch; *T went fishing
too-and caught a lantern on
my line. . .when I pulled it in
I found it was still lit. . .If
he’ll take 10 pounds off the
size of that fish, Pll blow
the flame out of that lan
tern!!
Pm glad Kings Mountain
High is taking a sensible ap
proach regarding student
dress and hair length.
Principal J.C. Atkinson says
no regulations regarding the
dress of students have been
Imposed. As the principal said
“we could never keep up with
the changes.’’
The only restrictions at pre
local men have laid aside their
razors In preparation for the
beard contest.
The Mirror will probably
not have a float In the parade.
I was thinklag on the order
of a convertible, adorned with
a lovely young lady, wearing
our banner. Any applicants?
The only restrictions at pre
sent are against shorts and go
ing barefoot.
There are no rules regard
ing hair length, except by the
football coach, who decrees
that the players’ hair can’t
hang down below their hel-
ments.
It’s Just too much! Johnny
Cash-in-person-ln Cleveland
County. I have great admira
tion for Cash as an entertain
er and as a man.
Dr, Poston and Gardner-
Webb College are to be com
mended tor recognizing him
for hia humanitarian works,
and honoring him with an hon
orary Doctor of Humanities
degree.
His appearance atGardner-
Webb on September 28th wlU
be a memorable event for the
college. I understand the guest
list reads like a "who’s who"
in show business and polities,
there’s no telling who might
show up,
I wouldn’t want to miss it!
When I met Bill Baker, I
liked him Instantly. His best
wishes were especially appre
ciated. Here’s a man whohas
lived in Kings Mountslnallhls
life, has never left. WHen he
says he loves this town and
its people, you know he means
it.
BUI (ssys hedoesn’tanswer
to Mr. ) allows he has never
been hungry, has a good Chris
tian wife, three Christian dau
ghters. . . . concludes that
money is not everything. Well
said, BIU.
Well, the new TV season is
upon us. Life magazine Just
devoted an entire issue to the
media. Many of the old Ikv-
orites are returning. Pm look
ing forward to HawaUFivs-O.
I think it’s one of the baiter
dramas on The tube. Glen
Campbell Is coming back on
Tuesday with the goodtime
hour. Pd like to see more
musical guests and less
“goodtime’^ during that hour.
Pm anxious to see what other
controvarslal topics All Inthe
Family, a stoiy of Just plain
folks, can come up with this
season.
