Pastor To
Climb For
Church Fund
CONCTRUCTION IN 1975 - Kin^ Mountain Housing
Authority Director Tom Harper shows citizens attending a
•MaKSSKCSSSW
public hearing the public housing construction planned for this
year in Kings Mountain.
Rev. F. J. Hanagan will
climb the Radio WKMT tower
April 5 in a church fund-rais
ing project to raise $1500 to re
wire the church building and
Sunday School building and
$500 to insulate both the
church and parsonage.
What began as somewhat as
a “joke” has turned into a
reality, said the pastor. After
$500 has been pledged, he will
ascend 50 feet and will con
tinue on up the 200 foot tower
at the rate of one foot for every
$10 pledged. The more money
pledged, the higher he will
climb. Upon reaching the top,
he will eat “chicken” at that
point before descending.
The Women of the Church
will serve hotdogs at the site
during the day as an addi
tional fund-raising project.

This year should be the one
Kings Mountians will remem
ber for a long time.
And if the projects discussed
at last Thursday night’s public
hearing are followed throu^,
1975 will be a red letter year.
“This will be the year we see
something in the Cansler St.
project besides buying and de-
molishing substandard
houses,” said Gene White,
executive director of the
Kings Mountain Redevelop
ment Commission.
“We will also undertake site
improvements within certain
blocks, installation of wiring,
lights, services,” White con
tinued. “We also conveyed
some pr(^erty to the housing
authority for construction of
low income units.”
White said through the sur
veys conducted here it was
determined that Kings Moun
tain has 2,800 dwellings and of
that number 500 are sub
standard. Not that many now
stand since demolishing work
has been underway for some
time. He said 100 families are
being displaced in the Cansler
St. project and anotha* 150 in
the bypass project. “And
under stricter city codes en
forcement who knows how
many more will be
displaced,” he saifi.
For these reasons the pro
gram of constructing new
housing is paramount.
Tom Harper, director of the
KM Housing Authority, told
the public hearing capacity
crowd plans are now complete
for the construction of 82 to 90
units of housing in urban re
newal areas, 36 designated for
the elderly.
Plans call for two, three and
four bedroom family units,
wider streets, sidewalks and
lighting. The first construction
will begin on the former Plonk
property near the junction of
King St. and Railroad Ave.
Harper said the housing
authority has paid the city
thus far $28,000 in property tax
and $78,000 in utility bills.
Mayor John Henry Moss
commented application has
been filed toward making
Kings Mountain’s public
housing units the first to have
solar heat. ^
To explain the reason Kings
Mountain has been approved
for the $4,160,000 housing and
community development act
funds and how they will assist
the city in applying for this
money, were Mike Gouge,
senior planner, N. C. Dept.,
Natural and Economic Re
sources, western field office;
Arbry Jones, housing expert
with the department and Mar
tha Ramsay, also with the
department’s local planning
and management division.
Gouge said the city’s past
performances with federal
funds put it in the position of
automatically having
$4,160,000 set aside when the
grant was announced.
He said the whole harmless
block grants give the dty
more say in how the funds are
used and there are few
strings, if any, attached from
Washington.
Jones told the gathering that
Kings Mountain was “in far
better shape than any other
community in North Carolina
in making use of federal
grants.
“Nothing gets done without
citizen participation,” Jones
said. “You ha veto look to your
leaders, take a cue from them,
and become active.”
Jones said he would be
available to work with the
community to institute
programs which will work for
the community. He said there
are several programs and if
one doesn’t work, another will.
Jones quilled, “If you dai’t
like pork, try some jam.
That’s the approach we will
take.
“You have to know the
needs, plan strategy and
objectives,” he said. “The
mayor has pledged himself to
do what he can. If he’s bluffing
we’ll soon find out. But I drai’t
think he is.”
FISH TOPPING
To make a speedy top
ping for broiled fish or
green vegetables, add a
teaspoon of lemon juice
and some chopped parsley
to a fourth cup of melted
butter, suggests Diane
Fistori, extension food
specialist. North Carolina
State University.
