Greetings From Gastonia, Belmont, Nt Holly
You’ll like Gastonia’s ciive

people go to church on Sunday;
where the civic clubs sink their
teeth into useful projects; where
legitimate enterprises get loyal

paper. the Gasette—17,000 circu
lation; two radio stations; civic
clubs, Civitan, Kiwanis, Lions, Op
timist, Rotary, AHrusa, Pilor;
American Legion Post, Music,
Garden, and Woman’s Clubs;
Merchants Association; 68
churches; 4 hospitals; Bank as
sets, 831,000,000. (December 31,
’47). Two building and loan as
sociations; library with county
wide bookmobile service; Boy and
Girl Scouts. We nope you will

phase of life in Gastonia that is
of interest.
Greater Gastonia can count 60
textile plants in iU limits. In
Gaston County there are 140—the
largest number to be found in

This relatively small county pro

Some of Gaston County’s 120
smaller, diversified industries, con

self-contained community; others
distribute their products all over
the world. Textile machinery, for
instance, is exported to almost
every nation on the globe.

SONGS THAT HELP
There’s a song in the air!
There's a star in the skyl
There’s a mother’s deep prayer,
And a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire while
the beautiful sing.
For the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a King.
We rejoice in the light.
And we echo the song
That comes down through the
night
From heavenly throng;
Ay! we shout to the lowly evan
gel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle our
Savior and King.
—J. G. Holland.
