G-W Sport Banquet Tickets for the annual All- Sports Banquet of Gardner- Webb College featuring Dal las Cowboy grid star, Lance Alworth, have gone on sale at the college’s athletic de partment.

Alworth was a member of the professional team which won the Super Bowl and is consid ered one of the most outstand ing professional football play ers today.

The All-Sports Banquet is sponsored by the Gardner- Webb College Bulldog Club and is highlighted by the pre sentation of awards to the col lege’s athletes for the past season. The Bulldog of the Year Award is announced at this banquet. Comment On Sports 601F * * * BY PETE FRITCHE Washington. D. C. —Mas ters tournament officials are still trying to explain the high scores at last month's classic. Jack Nick- laus won it with a score more than a dozen strokes higher than some of his Masters play in past years. And yet he took the lead from opening day and no one ever really challenged him. Officials suggest the weather might have been a factor. The average tempera ture was 62 degrees whereas the average is usually about 70. Maybe the players never did get properly warmed up, tournament officials specu late. Another lingering thought at Augusta is that Big Jack has become such a command ing figure that when he took an immediate lead many of the pros became dishearten ed. There are those who don’t agree with this, who believe the pros are just what their title implies, pros, who never figure the other fellow has it sewed up. SENATOR B. EVERETT JORDAN Knows Textiles . . . . . . He Knows Textile Workers and Their Problems As a young man, Everett Jordan began his career in textiles as a sweeper in a cotton mill in Gastonia and, through hard work, moved up the ranks. In 1927, he moved to Saxapahaw where he resurrected a defunct cotton mill, which is still a successful en terprise operating in a modern, air-conditioned building. Sena tor Jordan has worked in the Senate for the last 14 years to pro tect the textile industry from the tremendous volume of cheap im ported textiles which have closed hundreds of plants in North Ca rolina and elsewhere and thrown thousands of workers out of their jobs. Experience Counts Re-elect Senator Jordan Smith is getting a big edge in the point standings but Stick Elliott, Shelby; Chuck Piazza, Spartanburg; Billy Scott, Un ion; Carl Smart, Hickory; Mike Humphries, Gaffney; Preston Humphries, Shelby; and Bill Montelth, Belmont, have indicated they plan to break up Smith’s hot-streak right soon. Promoter A. E. Humphries has also announced a switch in his format, at least for the next month, races will be run on Friday night at the Shelby Speedway and Saturday night at the Cherokee Speedway. All events will begin at 8 o’clock. Children 12 will also be admitted tree of charge. Attendance has been near the 3,000 mark last weekend, but Humphries hopes to better that with a bigger and better field of cars and drivers in the next few weeks. J. C. Humphries, Gaffney; Melvin Revis, Spartanburg; George Brackett, Golden Val ley; Wild Bill Ruppe, Gaffney; and John Paddy, Gaffney, are the exciting Hobby division drivers, who have been bat tling neck and neck in the heat races and main events each weekend. An outstanding field of rookie drivers also take part at both tracks Friday and Saturday night. The two city leagues have merged into one and now it will be a ten team affair. It all started May 1st with Craf- tspun meeting Gastonia Knit at 6:30, Mica Mine against W. D. Lee at 7;30 and Duplex playing Oxford at 8:30. Three games will also be played Wednesday and again on Thursday. It should be an in teresting race al 1 the way.

JOSH HINNANT For County Commissioner The Industry -Seeking Go-Getter In April 1967, L. E. (Josh) Hinnant was appointed co- chairman of Kings Mountain Mayor John Henry Moss' industrial committee. His service since has been of great benefit to Kings Mountain, to Cleveland County and to Cleveland County citizens. First of ten new industrial citizens to begin operations in the Kings Mountain area of Cleveland County since the county commission candidate went to work at his nevu (non-paying) job, was a branch of Alcan Aluminunif Company (the world's largest). Alcan decided to locate in Kings Mountain in June of that year and began operations in December. Take a look at the growth in the Kings Mountain tax base: 1966 $23,116,466 1971 $38,624,120 ROUND FIGURE GAIN: $15,500,000 Tax base gain for Cleveland County was greater, as two of the ten new industrial citizens. Concept Furniture and Spectrum Textured Fibres, are located outside the Kings Mountain city limits. An expanding tax base is a means of keeping tax bills lower. More important to the individual is JOB. These new industries employ 1800 persons. Josh Hinnant, a banker, is as interested in maintaining lowest possible tax bills as anyone and perhaps more than most. He is keenly aware of the large increase In the taxable value of your real estate, effective with up coming tax bills, and of your fear of further increases ini your county tax bill.
