March 23-28 as Kings Mountain-St. Jud* Children's Research Hospital Days IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand, and caused the great Seal of the City of Kings Mountain to be affixed at Kings Mountain, North Carolina, this, the 3rd day of March, 1981, A.D. John Henry Moss Mayor May Be Skyrocketing An intensive effort to con vince North Carolina Con gressmen not to cut the National School Lunch Program has been mounted this week by the North Carolina School Food Service Association. Food Service Directors throughout the state, armed with facts and figures to support the need for the program, are writing and visiting their con gressmen urging their support, according to Martha H. Wright, Director of the Kings Mountain District Schools Child Nutrition Program. The national effort to eliminate child malnutrition and hunger dates back to the first school lunch legislation in 1946, according to Mrs. Wright. Since that time, the federal commit ment to child nutrition has grown steadily along with evidence of its success. A team of medical doctors, funded by the Field Foundation, went into rural poor counties throughout the country in the late 70’s to analyze the progress the United States has made in the area of child nutrition and concluded there are far fewer grossly malnourished people in this country today than 10 years ago. Notwithstanding an im pressive bipartisan success story battling hunger in this country, significant reductions in federal support were enacted for the first time in history by Congress last year. The reductions are cur rently being felt in the form of less federal assistance to the states for child nutrition, and, in many areas, higher school lunch prices to the children. In Kings Mountain prices were increased from 60 cents to 70 cents in grades K-5 and 65 cents to 75 cents in grades 6-12 on January 26. From January 1 to the end of this school term North Carolina expects a loss of $4.5 million. A reduction of 2.5 cents pier plate served is a $2.1 million loss, a two cents per plate cut in donated foods is a $1.7 million loss, and a three cents cut in the breakfast program is a $.7 million loss. Mrs. Harry Celebrates With Two Birthday Cakes The Child Nutrition Program in the Public Schools of North Carolina serves 1.2 million children. In Kings Mountain it serves 3,214. If federal support is decreased, it is obvious fewer children could be served. Government health care costs will rise as result of a less healthy child population. Grover’s Bessie (Mrs. B.A.) Harry celebrated her 90th birthday Thursday with two birthday cakes and calls from friends and neighbors who stopped by her house to visit. Despite news that her granddaughter, Kelli, underwent another operation in Charlotte Memorial Hospital, “Bess” or “Miss Bessie,” as she is affectionately called, enjoyed a happy birthday that did not include the traditional family celebra tion. Lib Stewart Additional budget cuts have been proposed by the Reagan Administration. These cuts would produce a reduction in federal support to the Child Nutrition Programs in North Carolina of $38 million. Mrs. Harry had her hair shampooed and set to have her picture made and dressed up in a white suit that she made herself, adding a scarf brought back from her travels in Europe and charm bracelets which held souvenirs she cherishes. She also decorated her dining table with roses, her favorite flower which she grows in her yard, and served her birthday cake to friends who called. Kings Mountain’s share of that reduction will be approx imately $100,000 for 1982. Most of this reduction would be in the area of support for meals served to the paying child. “Miss Bessie” is modest about having her picture in the newspaper and has not had a family portrait made in several years. However, just before her granddaughter Kelli’s accident in December, Mrs. Harry took Kelli to a Shelby photographer and had her pictures made. Since the thoughtful youngster knew her grandmother liked roses, she chose pink roses from the garden and held them while her photograph was made.

Mrs. Moore received a ruby necklace. If you're not already covered by a profit'sharing or pension plan where you work, look into an Individual Retirement Account at Independence National. With an IRA, you can salt away up to 15% of your annual income ($1,500 maxi' mum) for retirement. Independence will add on a healthy 12% annual interest (guar' anteed for 30 months).* \bur IRA can amount to a sizeable nest egg when you’re ready to retire. What's more you don't pay any tax on this money until you start to withdraw it. And by that time * you'll probably be in a lower tax bracket. Stop by any Independence National office for the ftjU details on how an Indepen' dence IRA can make your retirement more enjoyable. And reduce the tax bite in the process.

Miss Bessie gathered pictures of all former mayors of Grover and framed their photographs for City Hall and collected an assortment of Centennial items when First Baptist Church held its Centennial celebration. T never had much time to have my own picture made,” she said. “I’d much rather see some of my friends’ pictures in the newspaper.” oOo Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day and ‘Tis no sin not to be Irish just a terrible, terrible shame.” Legend has it that St. Patrick used the three leaf shamrock to demonstrate the idea of the Tnnity to the Irish. For many people the revelry of St. Patrick’s Day is a way of celebrating the end of winter and the coming of spring. And even the fairly recent upheavals in Northern Ireland have not diminished the celebra tion of St. Patrick’s Day. I>' • 0 • i • j!)
