I Could Have Sworn!”
Dear Editor:
I could have sworn that the City of Kings Mountain had well o-
ver two hundred Christians. How heart breaking it must be lor
a person who has been a citizen, to return to bring good news to
his home town that Christ is sWl in the saving business. With
the dope traffic on the rampage, lawlessness on every corner.
It would so seem that the church would be more concern for the
welfare and well being; of those round and about. It would seem
that the church organizations are at odds with each other. The
attendance has been shameful. Surely in the greater Kings Mou
ntain area, there must be more Christians than what has shown
up thus far for the “Youth lor Christ Crusade”. Aren’t parents
nor the church no longer concerned? Is there a fued between lo
cal organizations.
If so, this would be a good time to iron out the differences.
Christians get out and show your true colors. The life you
lead to Christ will prove whose side you are on.
Respectfully,
Everette H. Pearson

Squad Answers 16 Calls
Thanks, Mr. Hunter!
Dear Editor:
We would like to thank the Kings Mountain Police Force and
especially Marcellus Hunter for finding two sad boys’ bicycles.
Friday morning when we got up my two sons were going to ride
their bikes to school. Their three sisters, Vicky, Nanette and
Donna had already left. They went to get their bikes and they
were gone. We looked everywhere and could find them no where.
We called the Kings Mountain Police and Mr. Hunter came out
and got all the information on the bikes. We just knew they were
gone for good and the boys had just gotten them as a Christmas
present. They were very sad all weekend. Sunday morning
someone knocked on thedoorandMr.Hunterhad the boys’ bikes.
We’d very much like to thank him for all the time he spent in
finding the bikes and Scott and Jeffrey Dunn and I are very hap
py.

Washington Report
By Congressman James T. Broyhill
Space Program
As the Apollo 16 mission
neared the moon last week, the
House of Representatives
conducted its annual debate on
the nation’s space program, A
total of $3.4 billion was
authorized in funds for the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration for fiscal year
1973, the majority of it ($2.6
billion) for research and de
velopment programs. Since
the mld-1960’s, spending for
the space program has stead
ily declined fro m its peak of
$5.3 bUUon in 1965. This
year’s authorization figure is
less than the $3.7 billion au
thorized for 1963, the year
which marked the beginning of
the rise in spending.
Much of the debate on the bill
centered on the shift in em
phasis from manned space
travel to unmanned flights.
Since its beginning, NASA has
used the largest percentage of
, its funds for manned space
flights. Present plans call for
only one more mission to the
moon after the present Apollo
16 trip. The final moon ex
ploration trip will be conduc
ted by Apollo 17 in December
1972. Current planning does
not anticipate returning to the
moon before the 1980’s.
After the Apollo missions,
our manned space flights wlU
be limited to earth orbits. In
April 1973, the Skylab, our
first experimental space sta
tion, is scheduled to be laun
ched. The Skylab workshop
will provide living quarters
and a laboratory for the scien
tist and astronaut crews who
will occupy the orbital bcl-
lity. The Skylab will be the
largest manned spacecraft of
U. S. construction. The flight
crews will include physicians,
engineers, and scientists who
will carry out the most exten
sive experiment program yet
conducted in space, involving
more than fifty experiments
in biomedical sciences, earth
resources, astronomy, space
physics, space engineering,
and macufhcturlng techno
logy.
By the end of the decade,
plans call for the development
of the space shuttle, the first
reusable space vehicle. The
shuttle will provide a combin
ation of manned and unmanned
sjtace flights and will be the
most versatile space vehicle
ever developed.
The shuttle will consist of
two stages, a booster and an
orbiter. It will take off like
a rocket, fly in orbit like
a spaceship, and land like an
air^ane. The personnel com
partment interior of the shut
tle will be pressurized so that
the crew can travel in shirt
sleeve comfortwlthout space-
suits. No special flight train
ing would be required for pas
sengers, making it possible to
send scientists, doctors, tec
hnicians, and photographers
into space.
I am pleased to see the re
duced emphasis on manned
spaceflight. While the great
est expense of the space pro
gram has come from manned
flights, they have not been jus
tified in terms of visible
results with practical appli
cations.
It should be pointed out that
the space program has been
reduced over the past few
years in favor of programs to
provide for social needs such
as education, environment,
and housing.
I feel that this legislation re
presents a significant re
direction of our space effort,
and I was pleased to support
its passage by the House of
Representatives.
