Senior Citizens Take Trips
Participants in the Kings
Mountain Program for the Ag
ing celebrated Senior Citizens
Month the last two weeks of
May by taking trips.
Ninety senior citizens enjoyed
a day’s outing at the National
Museum and State Park on May
22. The group boarded small
vans and the First Presbyterian
Church bus, enjoyed the warm,
sunny weather, and spread a pic
nic lunch at the State Park.
Ninety-eight members en
joyed a fish supper at the Starlite
Restaurant in Bessemer City last
Wednesday. Once again, the
fellowship was enjoyed by all.
The group had some anxious
moments after learning that the
First Presbyterian Church bus
had developed mechanical pro
blems and would not be
available. But Central Methodist
Church came to the rescue by
loaning its van and the trip was a
total success.
“Central Methodist was most
kind to let us use their van,” said
Mary Adams, director of the
program. “We are most grateful
to all the people of Kings Moun
tain for their support and in-

vance in the winners brackett.
Army-Navy defeated Tultex,
Bettis State Line and Shoney’s to
go into the championship game.
Tultex fought its way back from
an early defeat to win the losers
brackett and have an opportuni
ty for revenge by meeting Army-
Navy in the championship game.
This time Tultex was ready
and their longball hitter put
them up early and they never
lost the lead, defeating Army-
Navy 10 to 4. But this was
Army-Navy’s first defeat in the
double elimination tournament
so now it was their turn for
revenge.
The second game proved to be
a very exciting and defensive
ballgame with Army-Navy
leading 5 to 4 going into the
seventh. It seemed to be
anybody’s ballgame but Mark
Rippy’s two run homer moved
the score to 7 to 4 and Tultex
gave it a galant try but couldn’t
score the tying run, which was
on Third base, with two outs,
and the ballgame ended with
Army-Navy on top 7 to 6.
Ralph Jones of Tultex won
the Home Run Trophy with 8
and he also won the Most Hits
Trophy going 19 for 25.
Tournament Director David
Dixon, who chaired the project
for the Jaycees, said he would
especially like to tiiank the City
Parks and Recreation Depart
ment for all their help. He said
he would also like to personally
thank Greg Dixon, Dan Dilling,
Myers Hambright Jr., A1
Moretz, the Jaycee wives and
girlfriends which helped with the
concession, Carl Lail, Ray
Hurley, George Adams, Vera
Taylor, “and the wonderful peo
ple of Kings Mountain for mak
ing this year’s tournament such a
huge success.”
