Weekley Speaks
To Lions Club
Christianizing the world Is the
only answer to its problems, Rev.
Gordon Weekley, pastor of First
Baptist church, told members of
the Kings Mountain Lions club
Tuesday night,
? "Because we have failed to
plant Bibles in the hands of four
fifths of the people of the world,
we are forced to plant bombs on
their heads, he declared.
"if we will return to God, we
can avert this tragedy," he con
tinued.
Reviewing the recent war fiis
tory of the world, Mr. Weekley
said that the beginning of the
Korean War was a beginning of
change in the world picture. He
described the fpur-fifthi ojt the
people of the world in Asia and
other non-educated nations as
"waking up", and of making new
Remands on civilization.
He said that the "civilized"
world only comprises about one
fifth the people, at one time of
no seeming consequence because
of distance and the fact that the
civilized peoples had all the tech
nological konw-how.
Two ways to peace, he listed,
are "working on ourselves" and
"working on others". He said
that this natlou has been "major- ;
ing on minors", and listed as one
of the "minors" the legal sale of
alcoholic beverages.
C. D. Wart presented Mr. Week
ley.
Prior to the address, Dr. N. H.
Reed conducted an Interview with

Residential Light Rate Cut Again;
Paving Assessments Are Confirmed
Objections
To Assessments
At Minimum
Question of whether the city
could assess for the paving of
East Gold street furnished the
principal subject of discussion at
the hearing Monday night on a
large group of street ? paving as
sessments..
B. D. Ratterree, one of the pro
perty ownerst said no petition
had been signed for. the paving
of East Gold street, that the
work had been done by the State
Highway and Public Works com
mission. and that he would not
pay any assessment. He also
said he was representing W. K.
Mauney and W. K. Mauney, Jr..
other property owners affected,
and that their position was the
same as his.
.George W. Allen, assessed for
paving on Deal street, said he
wouldn't pay unless the Gold
street owners paid, He said Deal
street was also paved by the
State highway department and
the fact of a petition would
make no difference. He also con
tended that assessment for use
of highway street money (prede
cessor to Powell Bill funds) is
illegal:
Mr. Allen further suggested
that it would be wise for the
board to forget all the assess
ments. He contended that "some
streets have been paved for
nothing" in the past.
Mrs. H. H. Moss, who was pres
ent at the meeting in reference
to the paving of Cherokee srtreet,
took exception to Mr. R*tter
ree's statement, saying "I sign
ed no petition, but I'm going to
pay my part. Surely you people
will pay . your part. The town
can't Improve If people don't
work together to make It"
Otherwise, the objections to the
proposed street - paving assess
ments were more routine, ma
jority of them limited to re
quests for correction of footage
errors.
Eugene R. Roberts was present
to object in person and F. R.

Local Phones Top 2,000 Mark
Expanded telephone service
was oart of substantial progress
recorded In Kings Mountain in
1952, according to E. P. Farrls,
Southern Bell Manager here.
During 1952 the number of
telephones In service Increased
by 202, or approximately ten per
cent. Aa the year ends, 2041 tele
phones are in service, aa against
1839 at the tint at the year. .
"The number of people with
telephone service is regarded as
a good barometer of economic
health, and the number in ser
vice at Klitgs Mountain oonthitt*
es to Increase. We oontlnue to
jBseetve a heavy volome of new
applications," Mr. Farrfs said
1 Mr. Farrls explained that the
total number of telephones now
serving King* Mountain la two
and-ope-hajf times greater than
at the end of World War II. On
' ' ?U l?ui- ?? T i ,
January 1, 1947, there were 897
telephones in service and at the
end of 1938 there were 397 tele
phones In service.
The expansion of Kings Moun
tain's telephone system was a
part of a statewide telephone
growth which in 1952 added over
28,000 to the total telephones in
the state. .North Carolina now
has 374.800 Bell telephone* In
iervlce, which is more than two
and-one-third times the number
In service in the state at the end
of World War II.
Southern Bell In 1992 provided
$17,335,000 worth of additional
facilities in North Carolina, ma
king ? total of 992,000,009 spent
In the state sln6e world War II.
"In addition to providing tele
phones to residents at North
Carolina cities and towns Sou
thern Bell has Insulted mmny
rural telephones throughout the
state," Mr. Farrls said.
"During the past year, we have
added 11,100 rural telephones in
North Carolina at a cost of over
$2 000.000."
Mr. Farrls pointed out that
Southern Bell Is aware that in
spite of its tremendous expan
sion program in North Carolina,
there are still many persons
waiting for telephone service.
"Due to the rapid economic
growth of this region," he added,
"We still receive heavy demands
for telephone service. We are
working hard to meet all service
needs, -both civilian and mili
tary. As we enter the new year,
we are confident that telephone
service will continue to play an
lncreaaingly important role In
the economic and social life of
the state."
