Debra Annette Salyer, 1607 Trexler St., Gastonia There I was feeling sorry for Lee Trevino and being touched by his $5,000 donation to the children’s hospital alter he won the Memphis Open. Then word comes down from up high that poor ’ol Lee has won $98,000 so far this year. You know, that isn’t bad. Trevino and most of the other big names in golf invade North Carolina again this week for the Kemper Open. That will be played at the long and lush Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte. The course is In excellent condition. Trees have been planted In five fairways to keep the pros from hauling off and hitting the ball atonwlth- out fear ofwhereitmlghtwlnd up. The Quail Hollow course def initely favors the long hitters. Something sounds screwy a- bout that situation. Riva Ridge might be a thor oughbred—but he sure made a jackass out of those of us who felt he was a shoo-in for rac ing’s Triple Crown....Former stock car driver Tim Flock is the talk of the golf course when he plays. He putts with a putt er that is barely two-feet long. Jerry Savlo talking about golf ing buddy BobRoedel; “Bob’s a PGA. A professional gu est.” When Freddie Schausquitas general manager of the World Champion L.A. Lakerstotake the h^ basketball job at Pur due, he took a cut in pay and went to work for George King, who used to work for Schaus. Bob Short, the owner of the Texas Rangers, is finding out that in sports, unlike politics, a loser in Washington is also a loser in Texas. Russell Secrest for Insurance Commissioner Reasonable, responsible leadership to solve our insurance problems. ... that Senator Jordan voted in ttie Senate to give the Sec retary of Agriculture additi onal authority to provide school lunches? ... that Congressman Gallfi- nakis didn't bother to vote on that bill in the House? ... that Senator Jordan voted for a bill setting up a program to attack the drug problem? ... that Congressman Galifi- n^s didn’t bother to vote-- not once but three times-- on drug bills this year? Re-Elect FRITZ MOREHEAD, JR. h I appreciate the support given me in the past 4 years and the vote given me on May 6.1 have honestly tried to be a represent ative of every citizen in the county these past 4 years. By going through Kings Mountain twice a day and working with many citizens from Kings Mountain I have learned many ol their problems and a solution to many of them has been reached. In addition to the tax money spent for education locally, the Health Dept, facilities have been Increased with the co-opera tion of Kings Mountain Commissioners. Your county tax dollars are being spent to provide 2 garbage containers just north and south of Kings Mountain. We hope in the very near future to pro vide a better system on garbage that will benefit the entire coun ty. Your county tax dollars were spent to extend the water line out to Spectrum and provide sewer services for same. Your tax dollars furnish dog wardens and a certainamountof police pro tection by the Sheriff Dept, for the Kings Mountain area. None of those services are what we would like tor them to be but it is a start. With the amount of tax paid by Kings Mountain area res idents I feel your services should be much more. If re-elected I will work to improve these services to see it written in the laws that all areas will have a representative on the Board of County Commissioners. I am not running against anyone. My only desire is to retain one of the two seats available and to serve Cleveland County. Saturday is the day of the decision. Use it tor the good of all con cerned. Go vote.

V/ TENNIS * • • By Pete Frltchie There’s nothing wrong with baseball that a little excite ment wouldn’t cure....Profes- sional basketball ended just in time to beglnfailpractice... America’s chess champion— his name slips my mind- says he won’t be upset if he loses a big match. “If I ev er lose, I know it would be a flake.” Controversial golfer Frank Beard says ahat just because the U.S. Open is played on a course, it doesn’t make the course great. Hazeltlne, site of the 1970 U.S. Open, is not a good test of golf, says Beard. And about Pebble Beach, site of this year’s Open, Beard says; “It’s an unbelievably beautiful area but the course isn’t the greatest we play.” Washington, D. C. —The tennis match between Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall for what American promoters call the world tennis title has to have been the best major match seen in this country in years. The good part is that so many millions watched it on television; only recently has U.S. TV offered much tennis to the general public. Ken Rosewall at 37 is one of the all-time great play ers; Rod Laver is perhaps the greatest of all time. Last year Ken upset Laver to win the first world title and Laver was obviously all-out to reverse the score this year. But little Ken finally won again in tiebreaker of the fifth set, with two cli mactic backhand returns of service that were winners Rod didn’t touch. Admitted ly, Laver was not his best much of the afternoon. But some of the cause was Rose- wall’s tennis, his marvelous lobs, drop shots and steady backline play. Laver was obviously nerv ous after his game, so strong at the outset, began to fail in the second set, especial ly his service, the big gun of his attack. Did You Know ... THAT Congressman Galifi- nakis voted against helping those people? ... THAT Senator Jordan voted on 66 percent of the Senate’s roll calls from January to May 6 this year? ... that Congressman Galifi- nakis voted on less than 28 percent of the House’s rec orded votes in the same time? ... that Senator Jordan voted for 13 additional weeks of compensation for people with out jobs in states of highun- empdoyment?
