ASC Announces
Loan Program
Cleveland CAunty Farmers will
now be able to borrow up to 95
percent of the delivered and as
sembled cost of equipment to
keep stored grain in proper con
dition, under ASC’s mobile dryer
loan program according to D. B.
Blalock, Chairman for the Agri
cultural Stabilization and Con
servation County Committee.
Under the mobile dryer loan
program, which was started in
1949, farmers may borrow from
the Commodity Credit Corpora
tion to finance the cost of drying
equipment such as mobile me
chanical dryers, air circulators,
ventilators, tunnels and fans for
eonditioning storage crops. The.
new provision will enable farm-1
ers to 'borrow up to 95 percent of
the cost of this equipment. Pre
viously, loans were limited to 75
percent of the cost of equipment.
Equipment loans run for three
years from the date the loans are
taken out. loans may be paid in
three annual installments with
the first installment due on the
date of th!e loan’s first anniver
sary. Interest is at a rate of 4
percent per year.
According to Blalock, improved
loan provisions Should Increase
storage facilities on farms. He
said the administration expects
| this increased activity to be re
flected in other segments of the
Nation’s economy by increasing
the use of steel, wood, and other
materials.
ILoans on storage facilities and
on conditioning equipment are
made to farmers through county
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC) offices. Bla
lock urged farmers who need ad
ditional storage or conditioning
equipment to cWeck with the ASC
Offices.

FOR MAYOR
[xj Glee A. Bridges
I seek re-election on the basis of able performance during
eight years of experience as Mayor of Kings Mountain. During
the campaign. I have refrained from making derogatory re
marks about any of my opponents. Many people have asked
me what I thought of them and here are my comments on each,
in alphabetical order:
Kelly Dixon: Mr. Dixon is a man I've known all my life.
Some people think a minister should stay out of politics, or at
least should concentrate on one job or the other. As a minister.
Mr. Dixon has followed three faiths — Methodist. Inter-deno
minational. and now Baptist. Does he want the whole city for a
congregation? Mr. Dixon is a Republican. If mayor, he would
be a Republican having to attend to city business with Demo
cratic county.state and national administrations. Will this
work to the benefit of Kings Mountain?
Brooks McAbee: I know Mr. McAbee casually but not well
enough to comment on his candidacy.
D. L. Saunders: Mr. Saunders seems ashamed of his backers
who hide under the name of ''Citizens for Better Government."
(Better Government for whom?) However, if is an open secret
that the bulk of this so-called committee includes people
who live outside the city limits.They want to control city poli
tics, but they are not willing to live in the city and pay city tax
es like everybody else.
Garland Still: Mr. Still is good at making promises and
some of them would suit me fine, too, IF the city could afford
them. Mr. Still,of course, does not seem to consider the fact
that such policies may be recommended by him. but that the
decision will rest completely with the board of commission
ers. He might get to vote—if there were a tie to break.
I have worked hard to do a good job as Mayor and I be
lieve the citizens can see the results of eight years of progress
ive, financially sound city improvements.
I want your vote and support and pledge another two years
of fairness to all and continuing city progress.
