Good Ways To Ward
Off Verbal Attacks

Hendricks Will Be Missed
The Herald joins his many friends in sadness at
the death of Dr. Paul E. Hendrick, Sr.
Dr. Hendricks was a longtime Kings Mountain
citizen and popular Kings Mountain medical doc
tor. Many younger people marched in the Kings
Mountain High School Band under his leadership
and remember him as a good teacher and friend.
Dr. Hendricks loved Kings Mountain people and
the feeling was mutual. His patients were legend.
Over the years he had made many friends in his pro
fession and citizens knew him to be forthright, plain
spoken, and truthful, the kind of man everyone
honors with high regard,
Hendricks-Durham-Lee-Crowley Clinic on West
Mountain Street will not be the same because Dr.
Hendrick’s shoes will be hard to fill.
Always modest about his talents as a bandmaster,
Dr. Hendricks often laughed about his “bum” ear.
But he had a good ear for music and for many of
life’s enjoyments.
Our sympathy to his wife, Helen, their son, Paul
Hendricks,Jr. and their daughter, Sara Hendricks
Sinai, and other relatives in their bereavement.
Dr. Hendricks will be missed by all of us.
Drive Safely During Holiday
Picture this scene: Mr. Harry Whittington, se
cond shift supervisor for Hankins Motor Parts, was
called to report to Mr. Hickle, plant manager. Mr.
Hickle is very upset over the past months produc
tion figures and was called previously by his wife
asking him to catch some dinner out tonight-she
had plans to do some shopping at the mall. Just
before he called Mr. Whittington he noticed that he
only had SO cents in his pocket, his wife neglected to
tell him she had removed the five dollar bill that
morning from his wallet. Mr. Whittington’s arrival
is announced by Mr. Hickle’s secretary and the
show begins. Mr. Hickle comes down hard on
Harry by saying,“Harry, I’m very upset about last
month’s figures, what do you have to say about it?
What is our competitor going to say?”.
Depending on how Harry feels, he could do a
number of things, but one thing that certainly
w'^’Jd not be to the best interest of both men is for
'.larry to start yelling back. Dale Carnegie in his
book, “How To Win Friends And Influence
People”, writes about a good way to ward off a ver
bal attack, cutdown angry feelings and at the same
time get the other person’s attention without being
unfriendly. If someone is verbally lashing out at
you, you could dampen the fire by saying: “I don’t
blame you one iota for feeling as you do.” What
happens? The fuse is taken away because, rightful
ly, we can only be us and they can only be
themselves. Camagie states: “You deserve very lit
tle credit for being what you are- and remember, the
man who comes to you irritated, biogted, unreason
ing, deserves very little discredit for being what he
is.“ Yes, this points out a need that three quarters of
us have and that is sympathy. So, instead of blow
ing his top and trying to get even (possibly lose his
job which isn’t even), Harry could feel sorry for his
steaming Boss because he, is after all, being himself.

I would venture to say that people would have
less problems with their blood pressure if they
would be allowed to go into a room and just yell and
scream. After all, what is anger? It’s a combination
of many feelings such as fear, insecurity, jealousy,
intimacy and others that are portrayed in a physical
manner (yelling, jumping up and down) and if held
in, some people describe it as a warm feeling under
the collar.
So the next time you find yourself in a heated en
vironment and you want to cool things down use
Dale Carnegie’s approach and practice being sym
pathetic by using his “magic phrase”: “I don’t blame
you one iota for feeling as you do. If 1 were you, I
should undoubtedly feel just as you do.”
Don’t relax until you reach your destination.
That’s the word of law enforcement officials who
urge extra caution during the upcoming July 4th
weekend.
Summer months are the most dangerous months.
Vacation driving is more dangerous than business
or normal everyday driving. Unfamiliar roads,
fatigue, and the tendency to celebrate before
reaching the vacation spot contribute.
Approximately 15 people could lose their lives on
North Carolina streets and highways over the up
coming July 4th holiday weekend, the N. C. State
Motor Club has estimated.
The state will count its toll over a 78-hour period
from 6 p.m. Friday, July 3rd, until midnight Mon
day, July 6th. Last year 19 fatalities and 856 in
juries were reported for a similar period.
The N.C. State Motor Club believes that fatalities
this year will be less than usual because the energy
crisis has resulted in less traffic and lower speeds
and that, of course, cuts down on the potential.
To date there have been 576 traffic deaths com
pared to 615 for the same time last year. Fatalities
over the Easter and Memorial Day holiday
weekend were cut in almost half compared to last
year.
Exceeding safe speed is still the No. 1 driver viola
tion contributing to death, while driving under the
influence of alcohol or drv'gs continues to be No. 2.
If we are to continue to see fatalities decrease,
motorists must be more ca itious of the need for
safety while driving on the highways and streets of
our state.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
Unique Father's Day Gift
Jim Yarbro, of Sims St., well-known Kings
Mountain man and a North Carolina State
WolfPack fan since college days, received a unique
Father’s Day present.
Julie and Scott Yarbro presented their Dad with a
N.C. State Wolf head and John Mitchell, of Mit
chell Sign Painters, assisted in displaying the huge
wolf in the driveway of the Yarbro home.
Martha Yarbro said that the wolf has caused con
siderable interest from passerbyers.“Jim goes to
sleep ever night fearful that some Tar Heel will
come by and paint his wolf blue.”
