PAGE 4, KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1972 ^0^ Of Interest To Women...By Sylvia Holmes Phone: 739-5829 or 739-3851 Wedding Anniversary Sunday Edinburgh Revealed KM History KINGS MOUNTAIN BIRTHS Last weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland we found reference to Kings Mountain, and that caused great excitement for all of us. As tourists In Edin burgh Castle we visited the museums there which show exhibits of the United Services (army, navy, and air-force). On display are hundreds of old uniforms, military equipment and Insignia. One of the dis play cases contained a Fer guson breech loading fllntback rifle dating from 1776. Speci mens of this rifle are very rare as only a limited number were made. In addition to In formation about the rifle, the printed sign stated that; “Pat rick Ferguson received hls first commission as a cornet In the Scots Greys at the age of fourteen and In 1786 he be came a captain In the 70th regiment. Ferguson later be came a major In the 71st (Frazers) Highlanders and during the American War of Independence commanded a specialty trained rifle corps armed with hls rifle. He was killed in 1780 at the battle of Kings Mountain." The weather here Is still terribly cold. This Is our seventeenth day and we have had some rain every day so far. We are very busy rush ing around visiting friends and relatives all over the country. Undeterred by the weather, we are managing to see a great deal of the British country side. Here In Suffolk we are in an area of picturesque vil lages with quaint cottages, some having thatched roofs. Sudbury was the birthplace and home of Thomas Gains borough, the famous portrait painter and not far from here. Constable painted hls famous "Haywaln." This morning we attended church at St. Gregory’s which is Chruch of England and Ray’s cousin, who Is the cur ate, conduction the service. As we arrived, the bell was tolling. It was band tolled by a lady at the back of the church. The church building Itself Is very old. Fart of It was built In 1370 and the rest In the 15th century but a church has stood on this site since at least 797 A.D. when the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle recorded that Alfwln, Bishop of Dunwlch, died in.Siidburyln that year. We are all using certain Eng lish words that we bad almost forgotten such as roundabout (traffic Island), fortnlgbt(two weeks), dummy (pacifier) and lorry ( truck ). Some new words have been brought into use suchasst?bilizers(train- ing wheels) and grotty which means terrible or horrible. Someone ought to compile an American / English diction ary! The whole country is crazy about Egyptology and people are queueing up (standing in line) by the thousands to view the Tutankhamen exhlbitionat the British Museum in Lon don. The stones are full of books and posters and there are special television pro grams on the subject. Color is wild over here. The two hottest colors seem to be orange and purple. Not only are these two colors predomi nant in the fashion world but they are being used as decora tor colors too. It’s not unus ual to see two bouses, side by side, one with orange painted trim and gates, the other house painted purple. Orange plasUc-ware for kitchen use fills the shelves at stores (no purple plasUc-ware yet). One very large department store chain is carr^ mens nylon underwear and athleUc shirts In orange and purple and also In light and dark blue and brlgfaUy patterned designs too. Very wild Indeed! It’s probably the British way of overcoming the dullness of the weather! S. H. Mr, and Mrs. B, Froneberger Route 1 Kings Mountain, N.C, Son, June 14,1972 Mr. and Mrs. Jerry E.
