D«cir Santa,
Somebody said the other day that Christmas is just around the cor
ner. I’d swear that it’s been only a couple of months since last
Christmas.
But, whether I’m ready or not, you’ll be coming oti dow ti iti a couple
of days, so you might as well throw these items on for the rollowitig;
An Orange Bowl victory for Clemson’s Tigers, and Player of the
Game honors for the Tigers’ fullback from Kings Mountain, Kevin
Mack...
A Gator Bowl win for the North Carolina Tar Heels, and a national
championship for the UNC basketball team. You might as well throw
in National Player of the Year honors for UNC’s James Vk’orthey, a
Gastonia Ashbrook product...
A state 3-A basketball championship for Kings Mountain’s Moun
taineers and college scholarships for their trio of three-year starters,
Carl Smith, Demetrius Goode and Terrence Blalock. Stale Coach of
the Year honors for John Blalock would be nice iiw...
An after-Christmas turnaround for Kings Mountain’s girls basket
ball team, which is struggling at the present. But, Santa, we remember
last year at this time. The girls were having their problems then, too,
but they came on strong to finish second in both the Southwestern
Conference regular season and tournament. You can do it, Santa...
A Southwestern Conference wrestling title for the young, but com
ing Kings Mountain High grapplers. Coach Steve MolTiit missed winn
ing the SWe title last year, and that’s unusual for him...
Rocking chairs for Muhammad Ali (I still prefer to call him Cassius
Clay, though) and Smokin’ Joe Tra/ier, two former heavyweight
champions who have been wa.shed up for years, but continue to em
barrass themselves by making comeback aiiempis. And a little sense
for fight promoters and fans, who are still cra/y enough to pay them
big purses and buy tickets...
A return to power for Kings Mountain High’s baseball team, which

was down a little last .spring after going to the stale 3-A finals the year
before...
All-American honors for Kings Mountain’s talented southpaw, Tim
Leach, at Wingate College, and a national NAIA title for Wingate.
They barely missed last spring...
Plenty of big, strong, smart, and good shooting basketball players
for Davidson College and its new head coach Bobby Hussey. Hussey
worked wonders with the Kings Mountain High and Belmont Abbey
cage programs, and he’ll do the same at Davidson if Wildcat fans will
be patient...
A strike-free major league baseball season in 1982.1 never could get
interested last year...
Great success for the newly-organized youth basketball league in
Grover. A handful of adults are carrying the whole load of getting the
program off the ground, and they need the support of the
community...
More people like Will Sanders and Steve Brown to get involved in
youth sports in Kings Mountain. They, and many others, give
generously of their time year in and year out to help our youngsters...
Some more transfers like Bert Long for the KMHS football pro
gram. If the Mounties could get 11 transfers a year like Bert, they’d
dominate the Southwestern Conference...
Tons and tons of clothes, toys and Christmas goodies for Rev.
Charles Keyes of Hickory, better known as the Parson of the Hills,
w ho each year is Santa Claus to thousands of needy families in the Ap
palachian mountains...

Letter
Doing Good Work
To The Editor;
An open letter to the Kings Mountain Herald concerning Donald
J. Deal and Christopner H. Cole:
Please allow me this opportunity to express to you my sincere ap
preciation for the tremendous work that you both are doing in the
developing of the musical talents«nd abilities of our young people in
Kings Mountain. Our school system is most fortunate to have two
people with such expertise.
The musical talent as expressed in your “Winter Concert” presented
by the Kings Mounta»1t»Junior High School 8th. GrcKle Band; the
Jumor’High' 9th. Grade Band; and the Kings Mountain Senior High
School Blazer Band at the High School on December 17, 1981 was
superb. 1 cannot remember ever attending a concert more enjoyable.
Keep up the good work. 1 know that it is rewarding to see such
musical talent growing to fruition. Both of you, and the young people
in your bands, are to be commended for such a job well done.
Looking forward to your Spring concert, 1 remain
Grateiuly yours.

Bypass
Project

The N.C. Department of
Transportation Friday approved
a revised highway program call
ing for $ 1.2 billion projects over
the next seven years.
Many highway projects
already approved were cut, but
the Kings Mountain Highway
74 bypass project was approved
as previously scheduled.
people who volunteer their time and talents as firemen and rescuers
can spend the day with their family and friends...
A Southwestern 3-A Conference tennis title for Coach Ed Guy of
the Mountaineers, who has been chasing Shelby for years. One of
Guy’s teams once won the Western State 3-A title, but they’ve yet to
win the regular season conference crown...
A number of state titles for Kings Mountain’s young state-ranked
tennis playes, Jeff Guy and Brian Jones. When those two youngsters
get to the high school ranks, maybe the above-mentioned request will
come to pass...
A change of attitude for recently fired South Carolina football
coach, Jim Carlen. He’s a pretty decent coach, Santa, but he can’t get
along with people...
More people like Kelly Dixon of Kings Mountain, who has spent his
life in service to his friends and neighbors, and who was well-deserving
of the Sertoma Club’s Service To Mankind Award which he received
last week...
A chain of fish camps for Paul Hord of Paul’s Seafood in Kings
Mountain. The whole world should experience the good taste of Paul’s
green shrimp...
A spare fork for Dr. Charles Adams to cany along with him when
he eats out at Chinese restaurants...
Good health, peace and a very Merry Christmas for everyone.
