Neither rain, nor sleet, nor hail, nor equipment failure will keep Santa Claus from making his ap pointed rounds. But some people in downtown Kings Mountain at Sunday afternoon’s Christmas Parade were ^ beginning to wonder. One of Santa’s reindeers ran hot on the east side of Mountain Street and fell behind the remaining floats in the parade. When some of the people in the Cherokee and East Gold Street areas saw what they thought was the last unit come through, they gave a disap pointed look to each other, jumped in their cars and headed home. But, most people thought old Santa had to be * around somewhere and a few minutes later. Old Saint Nkk, with Kings Mountain dog warden Stretch Bollinger running interference in a police car, came ho-hoing right on through. By the time the parade wound across the railroad tracks and on to West Mountain, Santa had caught up and parade watchers in that area didn’t have the slightest idea anything had gone wrong. Even though a few spectators left disappointed and thinking Santa wasn’t in the parade, the Kings Mountain Fire Department-sponsored event was ^ erne of the best ever here. It was the flrst on a Sunday afternoon, and that, perhaps, had something to do with the larger-than- usual crowd. The areas of South Battleground and West Mountain Streets were packed. Notes and noted: The Kings Mountain Jaycees will soon begin their annual Christmas tree side with proceeds going to Jaycee-sponsored projects. ^ The local civic club this Christmas season will sell > from the huge parking lot area of the Herald. They, and we, say come on down! Thrift, 23 Charged In Fatality ^ Robert Dewey Thrift, 23, of Route 2, has been charged with manslaughter in the death of Julia Elizabeth AUran, killed in a wreck Nov. 13 on Maple Springs Rd. Thrift is also charged with driving under the influence of in toxicating liquor, larceny of a vehicle and delaying and , resisting an officer. His bond was set at S7,600. Miss AUran, 21, of Cher- ryvUle, a student at Appalachian State University, was a passenger in a car driven by r rift. The car, which belonged David Carrigan of Route 2, reportedly came out of a sharp curve on Maple Springs Road onto a bridge, slide sideways into , the left lane where it struck an iron bridge rail, went down an embankment and overturned. The driver and two passengers were thrown from the car. Miss AUran was found face down in the water. Coroner Bennett Masters said autopsy reports show that Miss AUran drowned as a result of the wreck. Thrift was admitted to ^ Cleveland Memorial Hospital with injuries and Boyd Smith, of Route 2, was treated and releas ed. Griggs, 22 Dies Tuesday In Accident ^ , Henry Nelson Griggs Jr., 22, of Route 3, died Tuesday after he was caught in a napping machine at L&K Company near Shelby. Shelby Rescue Squad member CarroU Bingham said employees had Griggs out of the machine when he and another rescue member arrived at the scene. Griggs was taken to Cleveland ’ Memorial Hospital but later transferred to Charlotte Memorial Hospital where he died at 11 a.m. Assistant Coroner Jim Gold said Griggs suffered injuries to both his head and arms. He said an autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from ' Washington Baptist Church of Waco, interment following in the church cemetery.

Tuberculosis is on the wane from its once-terriUe position as a killer, but the incidence of this disease is still suffi cient to cause death. Purchases of Christmas seals make possible the continuance of a winning fight against this disease. A major portion of the funds re main at home to finance preventive measure against tuberculosis and to provide treatments for indigent patients who are unable to pay the cost of needed care. The Children’s Home of North Carolina has launched its annual Little Red Stocking fund-raising campaign and has a goal of $130JX)0. The appeal is traditionally made during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season to help with the agency’s ongoing program of service to children and their families. Gifts are tax deductible and may be mailed to The Children’s Home Society, P.O. Box 6587, Greensboro, N.C. 27405. Julie and Graham Wood are now “settled in.” Graham, our minister at Dixon Presbyterian Church, and Julie moved here two years ago and purchased a home in the Quail Run subdivision to live in while they built their underground home on their 40-acre farm off Highway 161. They moved in during the spring and for the past two Sunday afternoons hosted an open house to in troduce neighbors and friends to the unusual con struction. The home is equipped with solar heat with a wood stove in the basement serving as a back-up system. Graham says the temperature hasn’t been telow a comfortable 68 yet, and that’s without the stove being used. Needless to say, the Woods, and their daughters Beth, Julia, Cathy and Louisa, are glad to be settled. Melany Bolin, our paste-up artist, was saying the other day that there hasn’t been anything in the paper abwt her lately. Formerly Melany Clark, she made print quite often when she was a cheerleader. Mountaineer, Carrousel Princess, editor of the school newspaper, and a member of about every club you can think of while at Kings Mountain High School. The last time she made print was in the summer when she wed Danny Bolin, a former football and baseball standout at KMHS. She joined the Herald several weeks ago when Katrena McCall resigned to take a job at the Press and Standard in Walterboro, S.C. So, for her friends who didn’t know what h^ become of her since graduation, Melany Clark Bolin is now a full-fledged newspaper woman, with her name in pxint again. * * > KEVIN MACK Kings Mountain’s Kevin Mack had a good season as a freshman running back at Clemson University this fall. His records don’t compare with the likes of Georgia’s Hershel Walker, whose 1,617 yards broke the all-time record for a college freshman, but Mack certainly established himself as a part of Gemson’s future. The 185-()ound tailback played in seven of the Tigers’ 11 games, and rushed for 93 yards in 23 car ries. His longest run was for 16 yards against Western Carolina. The all-time KMHS rushing king for a single season (1,587 yards) also returned three kickoffs for 78 yards. asdeei TinrAUTOF IBBERNESS. I 1RY0UR IROASr Lots of folks moke roost beef sandwiches.
