In fact, even a 25' x 30' garden can be very practical. A garden that size can save you up to $290* a year on vegetables alone. Thats why a Toro Tiller is a very good investment... it’s built tough to last, year after year. So it practically pays for itself. A Toro Tiller for any job. There s a Toro Tiller for any size job; 3, 4 and 5 hp models, with 4 cycle engines, 26" tilling width, and safety features. Attachments include; pick and slasher tines; furrow; Til- Row for cultivating; bolo tine ex tensions for tilling width up to 38". See the Toro Tiller now. Just ask our salesman for the tiller so indestructible, it thinks it’s a tank.

TORa FURNITURE 909 GROVER ROAD Smith Named Captain A^s At Home This Weekend year, the Mountaineers de feated Bessemer City and dropped a one-point decision to a strong North Gaston t^m. The Mountaineers have been most impressive this spring in the sprints, jumping and throwing events. The 440-relay team has won two easy first places with Wil liam Thompson, Jim Thomp son, A1 Eddins and Tony Falls comprising the team. Coach Baker feels the Mountaineers could possibly be the con ference’s best in that depart ment. Senior Rusty Qoninger has been strong in the high jump and pole vault and easily won those events in the first two meets. His strongest competi tion in the high jump thus far has come from his own team mate, Tony Falls. *’ Big Carl Roseboro has been impressive in the discus and shot put but will probably re ceive his toughest competition today. The Mountaineers were idle last week because of the Easter holidays and Baker used that extra time to get in some additional practice ses sions.

Gibson Named Coach Legion Will Field Team Don’t sweat, baseball fans. Kings Mountain will fidd a legion baseball team this sum mer. A report in a Shelby paper Tuesday listing the Area Four participants for 1975 did not include Kings Mountain and Area Four conunissioner Carl Wilson’s {Alone has been ring ing ever since with calls from worried fans who got the impression that Otis D. Green Post 155 would not field a team for the first time since who- knows-when. But, Wilson assured, the reporter simply failed to list KM as a league member. “Kings Mountain will definitely field a team,” re marked Wilson, and that statement was dittoed by Gene Tignor, the Post 155 athletic officer. . “I’ll admit,” noted Tignor, “that a few months ago it looked like we wouldn’t be able to field a team. And we! still will probably have to ask area businesses to help us out. But the executive board has already voted to field a team.” Wilson will preside over a meeting of all Area Four teams Sunday afternoai in Shelby, at which time he’ll propose a slight realignment of teams. Wilson’s suggesting that Kings Mountain and Cherry- ville-Lincolnton be placed in the division with four Mecklenburg County teams and Gastonia and Belmont be placed in the western division. If that proposal is adopted, that will mean KM and Cherryville will be competing with Paw Creek, Newell, Charlotte 262 and Charlotte 380. The other division, which KM and Cherryville have played in during past years, will include Gastonia, Bel mont, Shelby, Rutherford County, Burke County and Hickory. The season is scheduled to begin in late May and first round playoffs will begin in early July.
