I'aKe 2/\ KINKS MOUNTAIN MIRROR Thursday. January 31.1974 (From page lA) Public Meeting Set company offers is a plan of action, a printed booklet that answers all the questions and gives detailed instructions for proceedure; includes a con sultant service beginning im mediately; supplies an ex perienced resident manager for all income, projects; supplies sample material for necessary printed matter; designs a professional publicity cam paign; supplies a resident director to produce a historical spectacle; provides a script writer who will take all the background and compile it for the spectacle; supplies all costumes, scenic background, stage, and lighting equipment. “Civic celebrations don’t just happen,’’ Howett said, “and its not just something to see, its something to be. We try to get everyone involved. Make it a community-wide effort. All of the clubs and groups and people from all walks of life are in volved. 'That spreads the work load and gives everyone a piece of the action.” At KM Post Office To finance such a celebration Howett said his company offers numerous methods. The first thing that comes to mind is having a limited number of coins struck to commemorate the centennial year. “In Maxton, North Carolina,” Howett said, “we are handling their celebration which begins in April. We had a hundred coins made and all of them were sold within two weeks.” Howett suggested an old fashioned bargain days in volving all of the merchants; a headquarters for the com mission where items such as fashions of a century ago could be sold and Rogers supplies catalogs from a company that specializes in period fashions; a rocking chair marathon with entry fees and cash prizes; the sale of certificates, buttons, wooden nickles, etc. “Another revenue source is the centennial magazine which would include a complete history of the city along with pictures and pages sponsored by local merchants,” Howett said. “And of course, an admission fee to see the Kings Mountain spectacle, which usually is planned for five nights in an outdoor setting. Our people would cast all the parts from local people, direct the production and our company provides all of the production equipment.” The outdoor spectacles the Rogers Co. produces, according to supplied information, are something to see. For instance, in the Dakotas each year Rogers recreates “Custer’s Last Stand” complete with Indians, cavalry, horses and firearms. In Charleston, S.C. they are going to reenact the firing on Fort Sumter. If the centennial commission and the public votes to accept the Rogers proposal, then the celebration would go into high gear during the coming summer and fall, leading up the actual anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain. Fred Weaver Is Promoted Fred Weaver, an employe at Kings Mountain Post Office since 1962, has been appointed supervisor of postal operation effective Sat, Feb. 2. Postmaster Charles Alexander made the an nouncement this week. “Fred’s new duties will also include serving as assistant to the postmaster," Alexander said. “His appointment was made by the Civil Service Commission, Memphis, Tenn. region.” Weaver, a native Kings Mountain, began his career with the post office as a city carrier on September 29,1962. He was brought “inside” and promoted to window clerk January 11, 1969. His ap pointment gives the local post office a replacement for Benjamin F. Cox who retired as assistant postmaster several months ago. Weaver served in the US Army from March 3, 1943 to April 5, 1946. After his discharge he returned to Kings Mountain where he opened and operated Ugli* Rotary Ladies Night Featured TV Newsmen A musical program and a TV news film were the highlights of the annual Rotary Club Ladies Night banquet at Kings Mountain Country Club Thurs., Jan. 24.

He was ordered from under the bed and the officers served the oustanding capias in- stanter on him and he was brought to the police station jail. McDevitt stated he and some of the officers stayed at the apartments questioning "two other women who had been visited by Boyd and Katherine Brown”. He said they obtained enough evidence to charge Katherine Brown with suspicion of murder. She was taken to the police department and made a statement to the chief and was later held by Gaston County as a material witness in the Henderson shooting. Boyd was charged with first degree murder and first degree burglary. Boyd was also charged by the KMPD on a worthless cheek count. Katherine Brown (also listed as Katherine Lowery) was charged Monday, along with another Kings Mountain resident, James S. Jordan with first degree murder and first degree burglary. SPECIAL OFFER!

Weaver is married to the former Dorothy Susanne Patterson of Kings Mountain. Planners (From page lA) and the building owners and tenants need to start making plans on facade renovation and other improvements in keeping with the renewal.” Approximately SO buildings owners and tenants are in vited to the meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. in city council chambers. “One of the major upgrading undertakings of the renewal will occur in the Cherokee SL area, in the rear of downtown businesses,” Hall stated. “We are progressing rapidly here and it’s time to start making plans to make that area presentable. I think we can really make the business district look great” Sam Kicked Druff Habit To the editor: A dead hollow tree, a possum on one end, a skunk on the other, and Sam sitting in the middle. Overhead, a buzzard soaring. What a combination. Having lost his self respect and the respect of those near and dear, there was Sam, sitting on the middle of a hollow tree. He was un- .shaven and smelled like his companions, the possum, skunk and buzzard circling overhead. I might as well be dead. Sam thought. I must have been completely out of my head. I wasn’t con tributing anything to s(x:iety nor to myself. As the sunlight poured down on him in that long ago forest, all of this dawned on Sam and he saw that old hollow tree as his coffin and his trio of com panions as his pall bearers. That’s all it to^. Sam went home. This is a true story and it happened to a friend of mine down along the Mexican border a couple of years ago. Sam was a drug addict. He kicked it. And he pulled himself up out of the moral decay his life had become and today is one of the most respected and admired businessmen in the southwest. Not too long ago I spent a weekend at Sam’s home and was surprised to learn he was then presidetit of his own company. Hopefully Sam's story might reach out to someone else with a drug addiction and let them see it is causing a complete moral decay to many Individuals. You know, our country's enemies would like nothing better than to see our moral fiber completely .shattered. Think about it.
