y > PAGE 4, KINGS MOUNTAIN MIRROR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1972 Grover News by Jackie Rountree Let’s have anaugustAugust. The adjective august Is from the Latin Augere, to Increase; and means inspiring awe and reverence; greatness; Impo sing; majestic, grand, digni fied, stately, eminent, noble, aged and time-honored. Out of all that, we can’t go wrong to have an august August. And thanks to Augustus Caesar we have 31 days to be especially august. Julius Caesarbadna med July in his own honor and it had 31 days. Augustus, to keep up with the Julius, had August named for himself and robbed February of a day to make August have as many days as July. Before their new names, July was Sextllls and August was Quintllis. I’m glad the names were changed. It’s more fun to be jolly in July and august in August. It isn’t always as easy to be as aug ust in August as it is jolly in July. August is the month Dog Days are the doggiest. Mold is the moldiest and mildew too. Crackers are the soggiest. Weevils find the corn meal, I don’t care where you hide the corn meal. I’m sure it must have been in August when the Sermon On The Mount was delivered—“Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon ea rth, where moth and rust doth corrupt .’’ That should be added incentive for us to be extraaugustinAugust. May our JOY augerel Maynard IslnQuantico—will be playing football for The Marines. Guess who has who se frat pin??? Ross is in Ice- Und, I think. Alan’s home so he can get ready to go back to Clemson. I feel as though 1 run a flea market--trying to keep up with all these joyful jumpers. And, speaking of Flea Markets—-was sorryto miss Saturday’s. They say it was long on fun. The Salva tion Army is the beneficiary, Hope Inez Ellis had an emi nent good time in Maryland for the weekend. She bummed a ride with The Phillips from Gaffney. Bill and Sady visited in Wiimton-Salem. Said Ann would be in Raleigh for a few days—Susan in Roanoke. Gin ger and Laura went to Sylva and left what’s left of the shag with Bubba and cat. Jenny, who is 5 months from three, came down to spend the night and sleep with Holly. She and her Jenny Hat from Six Flags, her dolly, Millie, and her poc ket book were all tucked in (with HoUy and Granny too) until the night noises took over. She beard the crickets cricking and the creek creak ing and decided she wanted to see Jon. She never did cry, but she got more and more awake. Before she got really homesick, she went home. She did better thanGrannydid one time down here. I woke up in the middle of the night with an acute case of home sickness, I crawled under the kitchen table and wailed until Uncle Audy cranked up the T- Model and took me home to The Turner House. I still get homesick attacks tor one place or the other. “Hornets where your heart is.’’-—and my heart’s been around. Jen ny, Jonathan and mother went visiting in Pilot Mtn. Had a grand time at the Bri dal Shower in honor of Mrs. Billy Roark hostessed by Nina and Anita. Elsie Ross, Mary Houser, Nina Falls, Vinnie and some of us tried not to seem too aged and time-hon ored amidst and amongst so much youth and youngness. Brenda Herndon said her and David’s new bouse was pro gressing slowly but, surely, surely. Judy White said Bre nt’s cold and virus was about to subside. We were all glad to meet Mary and Nina’s other sister. That’swho Bre nda thought Mary was. Ruth Byers cameinaswewerelea- vlng. She had been with Gil more to Charlotte to consult with a dental surgeon. Seems this is what Gilmore has to look forward to. Saw Edna Cook Sunday, and she has so mething similar ahead of her too. Bible School got off to a ra ther imposing start this mor ning. "Martha”—notWllson or Lee-—was cumbered about much serving. Cookies galore and much Kool-Ald, lemonade and some First Aid was pas sed about. What with Day School plans underway. I’m having to “Martha” pretty rustically this year, I believe the teachers chose the better part. The kitchen is stripped completely and ready for the painters who will come Wed nesday, Don’t know from wh ere “Martha” will dispense then. August Circle Meeting at El sie’s was rather awe-inspi ring. Our topic for discussion was "Horses Are Flesh.” That might not sound too awe- insplring, but read Isaiah 31: 1-3, and let’s see if we can’t get our FAITH and TRUST in God of The New Israel to au gere (to increase). We lame nted many absentees, but car ried on augustly regardless. I’m tempted to have my gall bladder taken out if it’ll fre shen me up as muchas some thing did Zip, We missed our July visitors, butBesslsback in Greenville after a brief beach trip. Boots took Maude Jones home to Fayetteville. Up until noontime Sunday I thought I’d .have to crash Judy Blacldiurn and Nathan San ders’ quaint and dignified out door wedding. But Bleeka got the invitation extended in the nick of time for Holly and me to get there just as the wedd ing march began and the pro cession began to come from Ralph and Bleeka’s front door, down the long, green aisle of freshly mown grass to the ar bor-altar, The rain teased about lor a few drops and a little drizzle, but when the bright yellow dresses, with touches of green and white, and the bright yellow jackets begin to appear, the rain re cessed and Happy Is The Bri de The Sun Shines On. I’ve always been a romanticist for an outdoor wedding. It seems so right and uninhibited—so VUlage Green—before God and man--with nothing asun der—and so augustly Augimt. I had a real feeling for the preacher-papa in this double duty capacity. The responsi bility of a marriage ceremony is awesome enough within it self. When the responsibility involves a son, it could be aw fully awesome. My voice wou ld do more than tremble a lit tle, I couldn’t hear their ple dges to each other, but am confident they had preacher- parent approval. OUR FA THER, WHO ARE IN HEA VEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME FOREVER. I was de lighted to see Nathan’s Gra ndmother McDaniel. She and I used to have the best time riding around on the school bus touring brickyards, dai ries, cola plants, bakeries, museums, aixl whatever with our kids--except she had a grand Idd on the same bus at the same time. And there was just recently Brownie Sharon Chapman already a brides maid. Hadn’t re^ly seen the father of the bride since the sixth grade at Grover School, and it’s good to be remem bered. I was glad to sit with Peggy McMurray Carroll in the “fake guest assemblage” (for picture taking). They are here from Columbus, Miss, on their way to Puerto Rico for three years. So, with all these fringe benefits, 1 sure ly appreciate Director Bleeka including us. It was an aug ust occasion. Speaking of an august Aug ust-—Let’s make it an even more august August by mak ing it an ASKING August. Ask. Seek. Knock. We’ll get. We’ll find. The door will open. Au gust will be august.

Sylvia Holmes Reports British Solutions To Downtown Problems Leeds Town Hall and City Library on a gloomy day. Leeds is a large, busy city in the county of Yorkshire. With a population exceeding one million, Leedsisdlrtyand industrial, being the center of both heavy and light industry. It is a city noted for textiles, wool and worsted in parti cular, and finished garments. Civic buildings in the city center have long been black ened by the atmospheric pol lution that has been present since the industrial revolu tion. Recently, however, there has been a great effort to Im prove the looks of the cltyand to make shopping more conve nient to the general public in order to keep them downtown instead of losing them to urban shopping centers. Ratoy weather contributed to this gloomy view of the Town Hall of Leeds which has been cleaned so that its once black ened exterior is now restored to Its original beige stone co lor. On the right Is the Cen tral Library which has not yet undergone any cleaning pro cess. Former narrow streets have been paved over to make ped estrian walkways and sbopp- ~ ers can wander freelywlthout the danger of traffic. Deliv ery trucks are still allowed access to stores but onlydur- Ing certain restricted hours. Fountains and seats have be en added for pleasure and comfort. Mercl^ts report a great upsurge in business sin ce these improvements were nuds. The leather jacketed youth walking past the fountain, sports below-the-shoulder length hair. The hairy look is definitely In over there. C Fountain In shopping prednt draws little attentloa from the by pasaeri on a wet day. Kings Mountain Ace For Snooks HOSPITAL REPORT Mrs. Agnes J.
